 What is Network Spinal Analysis or Network Chiropractic? Rather than deciding what is "wrong" with your body and how to "fix" it, Network honors the innate wisdom of your body. By applying a very gentle contact to specific areas of the spine, the brain and nervous system is cued to release stress and tension, and promote healing that is beyond any other model out there. How can network care help you? Network helps your body to first recognize and locate stress and tension, and then to release it. Over time your body actually learns better ways of dealing with stress, avoiding the accumulation of stress that results in much sickness, illness, and disease. Has network care been studied and shown to improve health? YES, in a study conducted by researchers within the University of California, Irvine, College of Medicine. This study evaluated a population of over 2800 patients under Network Care. An astounding 76% of the patients reported improved combined wellness changes in all categories of wellness that were assessed. How can you benefit from network care? A number of benefits were demonstrated in the research mentioned above. In fact, there are too many to mention here. We would be happy to share the entire study with you. The benefits fall under 5 categories of Health and Wellness: Improved Physical State, Improved Mental and Emotional State, Improved Response to Stress, Improved Life Enjoyment, and Improved Overall Quality of Life. What were some of the benefits reported? A few of the many benefits were: reduced pain, more energy, less fatigue, fewer cold and flu symptoms, fewer headaches, more positive feelings about self, improved ability to concentrate, improved ability to cope with daily problems, increased well-being, increased relaxation, improved problem handling, improved ability to adapt to change, and more... What is causing my health challenge? The master control and coordinating system in the body is the nervous system. From this it follows naturally that anything that interferes with the function of the nervous system will interfere with the optimal function and ability of the body to heal. The primary cause of this interference is increased tension on the spinal cord. What is an adjustment? Our analysis locates the primary areas of excess nervous system stress, tension, and interference. The Network Adjustment involves an extremely gentle contact to the tissues over your neck and tailbone. This contact cues the body to locate and remove nerve tension and interference. Do the adjustments hurt? The Network adjustment absolutely DOES NOT hurt. There is no force, no 'cracking' involved. In fact, most people are astounded at the results that are accomplished using such light touches. It is not the force of the adjustment but the precise location that is most important. Will I feel better after my adjustment? Our focus is not on treating any disease or condition, but on releasing the healing potential that exists with each one of us. The research study mentioned elsewhere on this site as well as many others clearly demonstrate a wide range of health benefits as a result of Network Care. We honor the wisdom of the body, and while it is likely you will feel better, the reality is that we have no control over how your body will react in it's healing. Will my health insurance cover this type of care? We will accept insurance in an effort to keep care affordable. If you do not have insurance or after your limited coverage runs out we think you will find our fees very fair and reasonable. We have worked hard to make our care affordable. We will provide you with a clear understanding of your particular finances on your second visit and will also provide a written financial policy information sheet. |
