Network Chiropractic: First developed by Donald Epstein DC in the late 1970s, network chiropractic uses a slightly different sequence of adjustments than standard chiropractic methods. Practitioners focus on the patient's emotional as well as physical well-being.

NETWORK CHIROPRACTIC: uses Network Spinal Analysis, a method characterized by the sequential application of a number of gentle, specific chiropractic adjusting techniques. Care progresses through a series of levels that parallel spinal and quality-of-life changes.

CHIROPRACTIC NETWORK

Promotes self-healing based on healing cycles and practices developed by Donald Epstein, D.C. The "network" of independent chiropractic offices utilizes the combined methods of the' chiropractic profession, and the specific sequencing of chiropractic adjustments, of light touch and structural adjusting techniques. This precise positioning of the patient frees mechanical tension and interference from the spinal systems hr self-correction that gently and gradually awakens an innate intelligence to more fully express heath.

In medicine, a subluxation is a partial dislocation or abnormal movement of a bone in a joint. For example, nursemaid's elbow is the subluxation of the head of the radius in the elbow. In the chiropractic system developed by Daniel D. Palmer in the late 1800s, Palmer believed that he had discovered the cause of all diseases suffered by mankind: the subluxation. The current chiropractic definition of subluxation is "a complex of functional and/or structural and/or pathological articular changes that compromise neural integrity ...

Network Spinal Analysis (Network, Network Chiropractic, Network Chiropractic Spinal Analysis): Conspicuously vitalistic form of chiropractic founded in 1983 by Donald M. Epstein, D.C.

It embraces the following principles.

(a)           An innate or resident intelligence (inborn wisdom) governs all human biological processes through the nervous system and never harms the body.

(b)           This intelligence directs the life force (vital life energy or vital life force), which bestirs every cell. (c) Malposition of the spinal cord, nerves, and vertebrae can cause mechanical tension that may impede the vital life force.

(c)           Mental and chemical stress can cause such mechanical tension.

(d)           Removing mechanical impediments to the vital life force heightens the operation of innate intelligence naturally.

(e)           The universe and society are intrinsically good.

CHIROPRACTIC

“For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction,” says a law of physics. When a vertebra becomes misaligned (subluxation) due to an external pressure, the Chiropractor can restore the alignment by applying an opposite pressure in the appropriate manner to correct the misalignment.

Subluxation of the vertebra can cause pressure on spinal cord nerve tissues, interfering with the nerves’ ability to conduct impulses to other tissues and organs, thus directly affecting one's overall health. See also below Chiropractic-Network and Kinesiology.

POLARITY THERAPY: based on a theory of energy flow in the body developed by Randolph Stone, a doctor of naturopathy, osteopathy, and chiropractic. Asserts that balancing the flow of energy in the body is the foundation of health. Specific points along the currents are said to hold positive or negative energies.

Practitioners use gentle touch and guidance in diet, exercise and self-awareness to help clients balance their energy flow, thus supporting a return to health.

Polarity

Polarity is an energy approach which helps to balance magnetic energy circulating naturally in the body. Quite as the electrical supply network of a city which connects houses between them, the body with an energy network which connects each organs and each cell between them.

It is is by contacts, on quite precise points, which the therapeutist supports the physical, psychological and emotional releasing of tensions by restoring balance between the overloaded circuits and those sub-used. Polarity gets a relaxation and supports personal awakenings which allow the car-cure of the body.

KINESIOLOGY

The body is regarded as being the repository of a knowing on a very deep and subtle level. The body can only acknowledge truth. It also comprises an intricate network of interconnective nerves, in a matrix that, when and if any part is affected by anything, the whole feels that effect. In this way truth creates a positive impulse resulting in muscle integrity and strength, whereas that which is untrue creates the opposite effect. In this sense, when a question is put to the body that would solicit a yes or no answer, the body reacts in such a way that confirms the truth.

This is also extremely effective for situations external to one’s body, and can also be quite remotely located, as distance is no barrier. Such is the ability and power of the body to communicate on a universal level.

In Chiropractic terms there are several schools of thought, but in all cases the body will show, with the use of Kinesiology, where there is a weakness.

Chiropractic practice:

a discipline that views the spine as the backbone of human health. Misalignments of vertebrae caused by poor posture or trauma cause pressure on the spinal nerve roots, leading to diminished function and illness. Through manipulation or adjustment of the spine, treatment seeks to analyze and correct misalignments.

Vertebral Subluxations are a concept that evolved over decades of research conducted in the chiropractic, osteopathic and medical professions. The term was borrowed from medical literature to designate a disruption of normal nerve activity, theorized to be at the source of noticeable changes in the body. Contrary to unsupported assertions (see below), the concept of subluxation is not a mystical invention of chiropractors. There are historical references going back to Hippocrates to support the long held belief and clinical impression that functio ...

WOC is widely known as the radio station where future U.S. President Ronald Reagan got his start re-creating Chicago Cubs baseball games. But that would be telling only part of the story. WOC (which stands for "Wonders Of Chiropractic") traces itsd roots to 1907, when Robert Karlowa began an experimental station in Rock Island, Illinois. The station was known under several callsigns, including 9-BC, 9-XR and 9-BY. On February 18, 1922, the government assigned the fledgling station the WOC call letters, and ...

The "Clones" are what Rome calls the listeners of the show. Their devotion to Rome along with their use of "smack" makes them different from normal people, but all the same as each other. Unfortunately, callers often only reiterate Rome's exact take on an issue. During the day, Rome saves the recordings of the best calls in the rack (with the term "rack him" or "rack her" after a call, as a signal to the audience that he enjoyed the caller's take). At the end of the show, The Huge Call of the Day (the best call in Rome's opinion) is r ...
