Network Spinal Analysis (NSA) is an evidence-based approach to health, wellness and body awareness using light touch therapies. Developed by Dr. Donald Epstein, NSA combines the gentlest chiropractic techniques to create a dynamic system of care. Light touch contacts made at specific points along the spine encourage the nervous system to release large amounts of stored stress. This results in improved energy flow throughout the body for enhanced healing and wellness.
Epstein believes that greater self-awareness and conscious awakening of the relationships between the body, mind, emotion, and expression of the human spirit are realized through this popular healing work. Network Spinal Analysis is exclusively practiced by Doctors of Chiropractic in relationship to the identification and self regulation of spinal tension and subluxation patterns.
Our Response to Stress
Stress and our response to stress plays a key role in our health and quality of life. Our brains respond with a ‘fight or flight’ reaction when shifting between emotional, physical, psychological, and chemical stresses. If we do not properly recover from this state, we begin to show signs of a prolonged stress response:
- Chronic muscle tension/weakness
- Digestive challenges
- Elimination difficulties
- Sleep disorders
- Exhaustion/fatigue
- Weakened Immune system
- Chronic infections
- Anxiety/panic attacks
- Mood disorders
- Hormonal/reproductive problems
- Muscle pain
- Ulcers
- High blood pressure
- Headaches/migraines
- Spinal misalignment/subluxations

Is Network Spinal Analysis Safe?
The gentle healing system of Network Spinal Analysis is safe for infants and children, as well as adults with spinal and health challenges. Regular chiropractic care using NSA can help strengthen the immune system, prevent or lessen the effects of chronic stress, prevent spinal arthritis, and improve body energy flow and overall health.
Seventy six percent (76%) of patients in a large study of over 2,000 patients reported improved wellness in all categories assessed: physical, mental, emotional, stress response, life enjoyment and overall quality of life. [1] The study included patients from 156 offices in the U.S. and abroad.
