Network Chiropractic is not considered a “treatment” or “therapy.” However, by releasing tension from the spine and helping the nervous system adapt to stress more effectively, our unique process has helped thousands of people experience relief of the following:
Your recommended visit frequency will depend on your body’s current condition, your lifestyle and your overall health and wellness objectives. You can read more about the benefits and objectives of our programs under Our Services.
You should come in an average of twice a week initially to obtain the best results. However, you’ll still receive many benefits from our care even if you come in less often. We don’t believe in a regimented approach and during your initial visits we’ll evaluate your specific situation and decide together which programme is the best fit for you, or we’ll create a customized programme to meet your specific needs.
Network Spinal Analysis may appear subtle and “energetic”, but it isn’t just some new-age fad! We’ve worked with thousands of people from many countries, including numerous leaders in business, science, athletics, and the arts with outstanding results (find out what people are saying about us).
A retrospective study of over 2,500 people conducted through UC Irvine Medical College documented significant improvements in quality of life in the majority of people receiving Network Chiropractic care.
The wave patterns that occur during a Network entrainment are the focus of several research papers by French mathematician professor Edmund Jonckheere. Professor Jonckheere is currently exploring the relationship between the “wave” created in Network Spinal Analysis and the energy-efficiency and adaptability of the nervous system.
Network Spinal Analysis is a cutting-edge methodology on the frontier of bodymind research! Find out more by visiting the founder - Dr Donald Epstein's website www.wiseworldseminars.com

Back pain, especially chronic back pain, is rarely a one-cause one-cure situation. There are many factors that can contribute to ongoing back pain, including unresolved physical injuries, emotional and mental stress.
Rather than just giving you a twist or a pop for temporary relief, we suggest a holistic and comprehensive approach that will help you identify and change the patterns that are contributing to your back pain.
Through a cutting-edge approach that combines low force Network Spinal Analysis “entrainments” (a unique method that promotes a spontaneous wave-like release of tension within the spine) and a specific series of exercises called Somato Respiratory Integration (SRI), we’ll help you release tension and connect to the underlying source of your pain so that you can truly resolve it.
Although we don’t claim to diagnose and treat any symptoms directly, we’ve worked with hundreds of patients with many types of headaches, ranging from tension headaches to migraines; with positive results. In most cases the severity and frequency of the headaches significantly diminishes, or the headaches vanish altogether.
Medications only provide temporary relief for headaches. We seek to understand the factors contributing to the headaches and help you make the necessary life changes to keep the headaches from recurring. Experience has shown us that headaches, like any other pain signals, are a sign that your body is asking for a change in your behaviour, your perceptions or your body structure.
We help you develop the awareness and discover the resources to change the way you’re living. The by-product of that lifestyle could very well be a headache-free life!
The stress over having too much to do and not enough time to do it is epidemic in our culture. Consistently high stress levels freeze the body in a “fight or flight” mode, tightening muscles, rounding shoulders, making breathing shallow, and limiting blood and oxygen to the parts of your brain and body that are responsible for relaxation, revitalization, creativity and growth.
We find that a busy life is typically not the problem. The problem is an inability to shift gears and “unhook” from the stress-causing factors that are overwhelming you.
Our programmes will help you release tension from your body and learn how to adapt to and manage the stress that you’re under without taking it home with you. Expect to work with us for about 3-6 weeks to get the ball rolling. Your entrainments will allow you to release tension from your spine and nervous system naturally, we will teach you helpful exercises and give you plenty of recommendations to decrease your stress levels quickly and naturally.
When it comes to their computer station, most people have a far from optimal ergonomic setup. In fact, we find that even people with excellent workstations often get neck and back pain from long hours in front of the screen.
The problem is that most people either aren’t aware of, or just ignore their body’s cues and feedback telling them to move, stretch or reposition themselves. They regularly push through to finish a project, even though their bodies are building up considerable tension in the process.
Our solution is to help you get so connected to and in tune with your body’s cues and feedback that you’re able to stay present and attentive to the exact positions you need to be in.
Instead of staying static at your desk and needing neck pain to let you know that you’re not being attentive to your body, with our care, you’ll be able to stay fluid, flexible and free instead.
The cost is the best part! Our programmes are very affordable, especially when you consider the cost that doing nothing about the symptoms you’ve been experiencing could have on your life and health.
