About NSA

Dr. Whelan Treating A PatientImagine for a moment that your body/mind is self-organizing, self-regulating, and self-healing. That the connective tissue you call home (body) can dissipate tension (energy) in a moment, especially during times of high stress (crisis).

Our body/mind is always adapting to what it perceives as environmental stress in order to survive and maintain balance.

Research has demonstrated that the everyday stress of life, over time is the root cause of most conditions and diseases that infiltrate our body overriding its innate ability to recover in the most advantageous way.

Our body/mind is constantly letting us know that our choices or living behaviors may be out of balance by sending us messages such as s back pain, body discomfort, high blood pressure, headaches, changes in temperature or even organ dysfunction.

These warning signs give us an opportunity to listen and trust what our body/mind is telling us, so that we can make the appropriate change or take an appropriate action to help our system regain its health.

What most people may do is wait until things get so sever that the discomfort becomes intolerable and we begin to take a drug so as not to have to address the cause.

The analogy I like to use is how our car operates. If you were driving down the freeway and suddenly your engine light went on, would you pull over to the next service station and have the mechanic address the problem or would you ask him to please turn the red light off as it is annoying you as you drive?

Of course you would have him check your engine to be sure there was enough oil, water or address whatever the problem is so the car will operate.

The approach of NSA is that we recognize that symptoms are letting you know that your body is out of balance, and that your body/mind is not able to recover or adapt to an accumulation of different stressors, be they physical, emotional/mental, or chemical.

Research through the University of California in Irvine has demonstrated the profound quality of life experiences patients under NSA care have received.

NSA is a gentle, nurturing, organic approach by changing how the body/mind functions through the nervous system. This approach was developed by Dr. Donald Epstein over twenty five years ago.

As people regain their health they naturally begin to make choices in their lives which support this new way of feeling. Studies have shown people under Network Care make healthier choices in their lives.
