Collaboration

Some of the tallest trees in the world are coastal redwoods. They can reach heights of over 300 feet, yet their root system is comparatively quite shallow. Their stability, especially in the face of wind and floods, comes from their roots. Redwood roots can extend beyond 100 feet from the base and will intertwine with other redwoods, creating a network. This is but one (big) example of how community and collaboration allow living things to grow, expand, and heal.

The style of chiropractic we practice is centered around Network Spinal Analysis. Network chiropractic is the application of gentle spinal contacts that help the body become more self-reflective, reduce spinal tension, and reorganize energy. We find that the neurological and energetic benefits of this style of practice are enhanced in a group environment. This is why Network practitioners have an open format in their offices.

Like the redwoods, we breathe the same air, hear the same wind, feel the same rain, and root in the same soil with one another. We adjust to the frequency and intensity of the light that is around us. The frequency and intensity of our own light is directly related how we experience and express life and health. This is the spirit of the collaborative principle in action: self care is community care. We can provide more light when we take care of ourselves AND recognize we are not doing it alone.

Our practice is arranged the way it is because we recognize that healing happens in community. It has been and continues to be our mission to maintain a welcoming, open, community space in which people can connect to their own healing process, feel their roots, and sempervirens.
