What Are the Benefits of Network Care?
Evidence-based approach with unique outcomes
We believe that the most important question when considering working with a health care practitioner is, “what are the benefits?” or, “what is in it for me and what can I expect to experience as a result of this care?”
Thousands of research studies (Chiropractic Research Database) from around the world document the extensive benefits of chiropractic care as well as the benefits of a healthy spine and nerve system. Since the average patient has not been exposed to this body of information, they may be skeptical rather than certain. Your Bethlehem chiropractor at Healing Wave Chiropractic strives not only to deliver the highest quality care, but also to provide education about the benefits of our work. Research has demonstrated that holistic chiropractic care provides exceptional results for improving spinal and neural function, as well as improving overall quality of life.
Lehigh Valley holistic chiropractor Shaun M Gallagher, is certified in a chiropractic technique called Network Spinal Analysis (NSA) or “Network”. Research undertaken in collaboration with neurobiologists and medical professionals at the University of California Irvine Medical School, and other universities, has shown that there are tangible quality of life benefits from receiving Network care. In 2009, a study was published that focused on a population of 2,818 people receiving Network care around the globe. Over a 3 year period, each participant was assessed to determine the effects of Network on their emotional well-being and physical health.
