Network Spinal (NS), formerly known as Network Chiropractic and then Network Spinal Analysis, is a gentle chiropractic approach developed by Dr. Donald Epstein. It focuses on enhancing the body’s self-healing abilities and by addressing tension and energy patterns in the spine. Network Spinal uses light touches at specific points along the spine to encourage the body to recognize and release stored tension, improving communication between the body and brain.
Network Spinal helps shift the body from the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), fight, flight, freeze or fawn survival response to the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS), rest, digest, listen and learn.
Network Spinal works with the body’s innate intelligence, recognizing that the nervous system holds patterns of tension created by stress, injury or unresolved emotional experiences. These patterns can keep the body in a constant state of defense, limiting mobility, energy and even emotional resilience.
