The Network Spinal Wave as a Central Pattern Generator

This article explains the research on a unique spinal wave visibly observed in association with network spinal analysis care. Since 1997, the network wave has been studied using surface electromyography (sEMG), characterized mathematically, and determined to be a unique and repeatable phenomenon. ​The network wave involves a visible undulation and specific rocking movement of spinal segments, which is elicited through gentle contacts in a defined sequence to the spine at specific areas. The areas are associated with the location of meningeal attachments of the spinal cord to the vertebral column.  READ MORE

How Network Spinal Care Helped Heal My Trauma – by Jeff Spiteri – CPTSD Foundation

When I discuss Trauma treatments with people whether it be for PTSD or CPTSD I often hear a range of modalities from classical talk therapies like CBT and DBT to Somatic Experiencing, neuro hacks like EMDR and TRE, to cutting-edge research on psychedelics but rarely have I heard anyone mention Network Spinal Analysis.  READ MORE

Homeland Security – The HPA Axis – Where It All Begins

We all know the feeling; our blood pressure and breathing increase to mount the battle, our muscles tighten so we can run faster, leap farther or hit harder, and our senses go on red alert so we can see and hear more acutely.  And as soon as the danger passes, we return to normal—collapsing or breathing a sigh of relief. This is the normal response when one form of stress or another triggers the HPA Axis; the relationship among the hypothalamus (H), the pituitary gland (P) and the adrenal glands (A) that produces finely tuned chemical messages that connect the central nervous system, endocrine and immune system.  HPA is the linchpin that activates the body’s main defenses.  Together, these 3 systems are the sentinels of health.  READ MORE

A Tonal Solution for Subluxation Patterns

The outcomes that are achieved with tonal techniques focus on engaging a process of change rather than managing an episode of symptomatic relief.  The spinal systems are sensitive and reactive to unusual position and motion.  The release of tension patterns and the entrainment of new postural habits allow the spinal systems to change and unwind.  READ MORE

Craniosacral Rhythm Research

This study reports on a direct objective measurement of a third rhythmic movement on the human head, giving rational scientific evidence documenting the existence of a rhythmic movement different from arterial and respiratory rhythms.  This study forms a new basis for studying the physiological and clinical significance of low frequency oscillation in humans.  READ MORE

Does Our Cerebrospinal Fluid Give Us Being?  

Harvard-trained physician Dr. Mauro Zappattera describes the embryonic origins and the extent and function of our cerebrospinal fluid, and shows the remarkable parallels between its anatomy and the descriptions realized by yogis down the ages. He introduces us to the composition of the CSF, which include melatonin and DMT, and asks whether this is the physical feature that allows us to be conscious of our beingness.  WATCH HERE

Cerebrospinal Fluid: The Bridge Between Spirit and Matter 

Cerebrospinal Fluid is a fluid that surrounds and cushions the brain and spinal cord, playing a crucial role in their function. But, according to Dr. Mauro Zappaterra and his work, the purpose and importance of CSF is likely beyond anything we’re told.  WATCH HERE

How Cerebrospinal fluid Shapes Our Conscious Experience 

Dr. Mauro Zappaterra goes in-depth on cerebrospinal fluid and its effects on the human body and potential implications for consciousness and well-being.  WATCH HERE

Cerebrospinal Fluid Stasis and its Clinical Significance

We hypothesize that stasis of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) occurs commonly and is detrimental to health. Physiologic factors affecting the normal circulation of CSF include cardiovascular, respiratory, and vasomotor influences. The CSF maintains the electrolytic environment of the central nervous system (CNS), influences systemic acid-base balance, serves as a medium for the supply of nutrients to neuronal and glial cells, functions as a lymphatic system for the CNS by removing the waste products of cellular metabolism, and transports hormones, neurotransmitters, releasing factors, and other neuropeptides throughout the CNS. Physiologic impedance or cessation of CSF flow may occur commonly in the absence of degenerative changes or pathology and may compromise the normal physiologic functions of the CSF. CSF appears to be particularly prone to stasis within the spinal canal.  READ MORE
