Network Spinal Analysis

Network Spinal Analysis (NSA) is a radically different approach to wellness. NSA utilizes gentle contacts at "spinal gateway points" to connect your brain with your body. These contacts trigger your body to release current tension and stored trauma, by creating unique "healing wave" release responses. Your spine actually learns to adjust itself!

Dr. Erin Pollinger grew up in New York at the New Age Center of Nyack. Having been exposed to holistic health care since a young age, she knew her life would be dedicated to helping people heal. After getting her first Network adjustment at age 19 and having it profoundly change her life, she decided that this was how she would serve others. After graduating Life Chiropractic College West in 1999, she practiced for a year in Berkeley, CA prior to giving birth to her daughter Willow. She arrived in Ashland in April 2001 to join the team at Hidden Spring Wellness Center.

Researchers at UC Irvine College of Medicine evaluated over 2,800 Network patients. They documented improvement in all areas of
wellness that they assessed:

1. Improved physical well being
· improved flexibility
· more energy
· fewer colds and flu
· fewer headaches
. reduced pain

2. Less stress relative to:
. work
. relationship
. family
. health
. coping with daily problems

3. Improved emotional and psychological well being
. increased positivity
. less anxiety, depression & moodiness

4. Life enjoyment
. increased openness
. increased confidence & compassion
. increased relaxation

5. Lifestyle changes
. Increase in regular exercise, yoga, meditation, healthy food, less medication

6. Overall quality of life improvement

What is Network Spinal Analysis (NSA)?

NSA focuses on the nervous system, which coordinates and controls all functions in the body and determines how you perceive reality. When the body experiences a physical, emotional, or chemical stress that it cannot handle, it is shunted to the organs and tissues and stored as trauma. The body takes on a defense posture (fight or flight). As a result, physical degeneration, self-limiting beliefs and self-defeating patterns occur. Our response to stress becomes less appropriate and our quality of life declines.

Life is then perceived as a survival issue, rather than as an opportunity for growth and evolution.

In NSA, we make gentle, honoring contacts applied at spinal gateways, associated with the brain/body shifting from defense posture to that of "safety" resulting in better ability to make constructive choices for one's body, emotions, and life.

Wave Release Phenomenon
People who are alive Breath and Move! In NSA, we look for BREATH and MOVEMENT to determine how well the body is responding. These both happen as waves through the body and when they occur, health and wellness exponentially increases!

Respiratory Wave
This is the first to develop in the body and occurs when breath is fully present in all parts of the spine. It is associated with decreased surface tension and increased connection with one's body wave.

"Through the breath that is now flowing through my body I experience a deep peace and calm which I have learned to tap into daily. Dr. Erin is an extraordinary healer filled with compassion, empathy and intuitive knowing. Being in her care has enabled me to make major shifts in my body and spirit."
Jude Gabriel

Somatopsychic Wave
This is an undulation of the entire spine and/or an oscillation of a specific space in the nervous system. It is a highly evolved response by the nervous system and helps stored trauma come up from deep places in the body, transforming it into energy to be used by the body to heal. The somatopsychic wave serves to "destabilize the armor" between the different parts of oneself, helping to retrieve those parts that have been traumatized, alienated, abused or unaccepted.

"I am finding that trust and willingness to surrender are gradually replacing chronic tension and defensiveness."
Jim Malachi

"Network has brought me back from an almost certain back surgery, through deep stored trauma to a place of increased wholeness and connection. Dr. Erin is a Goddess with deep connection to spirit, reading and moving the energy with adept grace."
Constance Dean

"My Network process began with small, subtle changes which over time have become radical and permanent shifts in the way my body holds itself, the way I deal with daily stress, and even the way I approach life in general."
Ka-Lea

"Dr. Erin's network care has been crucial in helping me to balance an extremely stressful time in my life. Erin's nurturing way and her network adjustments created a space of ease in a frenzied time. I fondly refer to my network care as my 'meltdown' and so look forward to the hours of bliss and peace that I feel following treatments."
Tricia Acheatel

Later in care, the somatopsychic wave serves to "destabilize the armor" between the spine and the heart and then the heart and the rest of the world, allowing us to fully express the essence of our true selves.
