Network Spinal Analysis or NSA is a chiropractic technique innovative, result of research and clinical evidence of the last 30 years. NSA waves contain unique properties. They are generated along the spine and have the capacity to produce changes at the physiological level. A significant number of American universities (14) have done studies on NSA. The investigations that stand out the most are those of the University of California and who affirm that people who receive NSA treatment experience a very important improvement in health and quality of life.
What is Network Spinal Analysis?
Network Spinal Analysis, also known as NSA is a unique and modern chiropractic method that was created by Dr. Donald Epstein. It consists of a precise manual stimulation of neurological points along the spine. These activate the brain for the healing of the body, managing to release spinal blockages. NSA is based on the concept that most of us spend our adult lives on the “defensive” position (physically and mentally) due to an accumulation of trauma and stress. All these stresses are lodged in our spine, greatly affecting its alignment, posture and quality of life. Thanks to the NSA, the spine can adapt from that initial defensive posture to new and healthier patterns.
Network Spinal Analysis Settings
The chiropractor is the tool that allows our body to work better. Adjustments are painless. After receiving this chiropractic treatment, patients leave with a feeling of relaxation and well-being. Touches are usually gentle, effective, and safe. These touches are usually performed along the neck and back, achieving greater communication between body and brain. In addition, this communication allows us to create new sensory and motor strategies. It is a method that can be applied to all types of people: athletes, the elderly, adolescents and even babies.
Our skin contains millions of sensory receptors. They are in charge of detecting information and responding to our environment. These receptors record everything that happens on the surface of our body to later send different signals to the brain through the spinal cord. The points chosen by chiropractic specialists are called “Spinal Gateway“. Its operation is similar to that of a switch, helping the brain to be aware of the areas of tension produced along the spine. In addition to his performance on them.
Finally, we can affirm that the NSA helps to develop new healing strategies, adapting to stress and experiencing well-being. With these new strategies we managed to promote self-correction and regulation of spinal tension patterns. The monitoring of the process includes an evaluation of the spine and knowledge of our body, response to rhythms and patterns of tension and harmony.
New research
New scientific research by Professor Martyn D. Goulding and his team identified a spinal circuitry for light and fine touch motor control. Sensory circuits in the spinal cord integrate and transmit numerous cutaneous sensory modalities, including the sense of light touch. It is precisely here where an important presence of excitatory interneurons (INS) is identified in the dorsal horn. Something that is of vital importance for the transmission of the innocuous sensation of light touch.
Neurons have a close relationship with the nuclear orphan receptor “ROR alpha” (RORa). In addition to being selectively innervated by cutaneous low threshold mechano receptors (MTC). Selective suppression of RORa INS in the dorsal spinal cord leads to reduced behavioral responsiveness to light touch. Although without affecting the responses to painful and itchy stimuli.
