FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1
What is Network Spinal Analysis?
Network Spinal Analysis (NSA), now often referred to simply as Network Spinal, is a holistic chiropractic technique that uses extremely gentle, light touches on specific points of the spine to cue the nervous system to release stored tension. Unlike traditional chiropractic that focuses on forceful manual adjustments, NSA aims to "reboot" the brain's connection to the body, helping it develop new strategies for self-healing and better adaptation to stress. This process often triggers a unique phenomenon known as a "spinal wave," a visible undulation of the spine that signals the release of physical and emotional trauma while improving overall spinal integrity.

What is Somato Respiratory Integration?
Somato Respiratory Integration (SRI) is a wellness practice that uses focused breath, light touch, and gentle movement to help you reconnect with your body’s natural healing rhythms. Developed by Dr. Donald Epstein, these exercises are designed to help the brain acknowledge and release stored physical or emotional tension by engaging the cerebral cortex. The practice consists of 12 distinct stages of consciousness, each using specific breathing patterns and verbal declarations to transition a person from states of suffering to empowerment and wholeness.

What is Energy Healing?
Energy healing is a holistic practice based on the principle that the human body is surrounded and permeated by an invisible "life force" or energy field. Practitioners use various techniques, such as light touch or hovering hands, to clear blockages and balance this energy to promote the body's natural ability to heal itself. While often considered a complementary therapy, it aims to reduce stress and anxiety by restoring harmony between the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of a person.
What is sciatica?
Sciatica is characterized by a sharp, shooting, or electric-like pain that typically radiates from the lower back through the buttock and down the back of a single leg.Beyond intense pain, it often causes sensations of numbness, tingling "pins and needles," or muscle weakness that can extend all the way to the foot.While the discomfort can range from a mild ache to an excruciating jolt, it is most frequently triggered or worsened by sitting for long periods, coughing, or sudden movements.

What is trauma pain?
Trauma pain is a complex physical response where the body's nervous system remains in a "stuck" state of survival mode long after a distressing event has ended. This often manifests as unexplained, diffuse physical symptoms—such as chronic muscle tension, headaches, or digestive issues—that occur even without a clear medical injury. Because the brain and body are deeply interconnected, these real physical sensations are frequently fueled by an overactive stress response that amplifies sensitivity to pain.

What is Nervous System Repatterning?
Nervous system repatterning is the process of using neuroplasticity to replace automatic survival responses—like chronic "fight-or-flight" or shutdown—with new, healthier defaults. Rather than just managing symptoms, this approach uses consistent sensory input, such as focused breath or gentle somatic movement, to teach the brain and body that they are safe in the present moment. Over time, these practices build resilience and flexibility, allowing you to recover from stress more quickly and respond to life’s challenges with grounded clarity instead of reactive panic.
