The spine is constantly exposed to physical and emotional stress, which can lead to subtle misalignments of the vertebrae. When these misalignments interfere with nerve function, the communication between the brain and body is disrupted—impacting the body’s ability to heal, regulate, and adapt to its environment.
One of the most critical areas is the upper neck, where a condition known as **Atlas Subluxation**—a misalignment of the atlas vertebra—can affect the alignment of the entire spine. A trained chiropractor can assess and gently correct this misalignment, restoring balance and helping the nervous system function optimally.

Network Spinal Analysis™
Network Spinal Analysis™ (NSA) is an evidence-based chiropractic approach that supports wellness, body awareness, and the natural reorganization of the nervous system. Using gentle, precise touch along the spine, NSA cues the brain to release stored tension and develop new strategies for healing and adaptability. Over time, patients often experience two distinct healing waves—unique neurological responses that reflect deeper integration, release of stress, and increased energy flow throughout the body.
NSA is exclusively practiced by Doctors of Chiropractic and is centered on the identification and self-regulation of spinal tension patterns. This technique combines clinical assessment with the patient’s own awareness of health and life changes, fostering a greater connection between the body, mind, emotions, and overall well-being. Many patients report a profound sense of transformation, resilience, and enhanced quality of life as their nervous system reorganizes for higher levels of function and vitality.
Koren Specific Technique (KST)
Koren Specific Technique (KST) is an advanced, gentle, and highly adaptable chiropractic method that allows for precise analysis and correction of subluxations and nerve interference. Developed by Dr. Tedd Koren in 2003, KST is known for its effectiveness, comfort, and versatility—enabling patients to be analyzed and adjusted in a variety of positions, including standing, sitting, or lying down. This flexibility allows the body to be assessed in real-time, reflecting how it functions in everyday life.
Rather than using traditional twisting or forceful adjustments, KST utilizes a handheld instrument to deliver gentle corrections with high specificity. As a result, patients often experience longer-lasting results and faster progress. This technique is ideal for individuals of all ages and especially beneficial for those seeking a low-force, personalized approach to chiropractic care. With KST, the goal is not just relief—but deep, lasting restoration of the body’s natural alignment and healing potential.
