Before getting into Network Care with Dr. Hill, I had constant fatigue, lower back pain, headaches from allergies, neck pain, and tingling in my arms and hands like "pins-and-needles", and depression.

This resulted in no motivation. I've been irritable because of pain therefore not a real joy to be around. I had a feeling of living in a fog without the ability to think about or remember things.

After starting care I can turn my head further. The tingling sensation is only once in a while. The pain in my knee has lessened. The best change is an increase in clarity--the fog is lifting!! Also, it seems my allergies aren't as severe. I'm feeling more energy too.
Thanks.

My experience with Network is that it is not an event but a process. While getting adjusted, I had a wonderful experience of dropping anxiety. I also had a wonderful shift when I found myself one day full of anger and frustration. After twenty minutes or so of that I got very clear that it was not okay for those thoughts to be in my head. I have noticed generally that I'm getting stronger and healthier not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too.
Thanks!

For years I've carried chronic neck and shoulder tension. My right side had very little mobility due to a self-defense class and horseback falls. While under Network Care it took about six months for me to feel my neck again, get my shoulders back, plus be able to move my tailbone.

Also, I've been releasing lots of stored up anger. Before I would numb these feelings by overeating to keep the anger contained. Now, it emerges more spontaneously. Yes, a few close friends don't like it one bit, but I'm delighted that I'm becoming more authentic. I like feeling more empowered!

I began NSA care approximately eighteen months ago. I had just been diagnosed with osteoarthritis by my medical doctor who recommended I begin taking an anti-inflammatory drug known as Rellefin. Since I was already taking hormone replacement drugs, I didn't want to increase the amount of drugs in my system. I decided to explore a holistic approach to dealing with the debilitating pain and restriction in my movements. I was in so much pain that I could only work half days.

My first approach was massage therapy. I loved the massage, but there were no lasting effects. My massage therapist recommended I try Network care and that was certainly the right answer. Within weeks the terrible muscle spasm began to move around my body, and then finally left altogether. I was very regular with my appointments and soon had more "tools" to deal with my problem than I had ever had. I began to be much more aware of when and how the pain began, and I was now able to release the spasm and postures which had nearly paralyzed me earlier. This new awareness carried over into my relationships as well. I was now able to recognize potentially troublesome patterns developing before they became so "set" within the emotional exchange of a relationship that neither party would want to tackle the resulting problem. Life became easier and more joyful. At one point I began yoga. I have now regained much of my former strength and balance. Yoga and Network are a winning combination for the specific problems I have had.

Though I am in my mid-fifties, I feel today as supple and energetic and flexible as I did when I was twenty-five! Much of the credit goes to Network Care!

I had pain in back and neck, depression, anxiety, and my most major concern was breathing difficulties. These all interfered in my life so that I couldn't keep a job. I was also emotionally unstable which made it tough on relationships. I was also suicidal and indulged in several kinds of drugs which helped calm my nerves.
Since being under Network Care with Dr. Spratt, I have had no pain in my back and neck and a better sense of well-being. Also, since starting care my breathing has immensely improved, almost miraculously. No, it is miraculous.

I try to look at the spine like the head. If I can eliminate the pressures in my spine, than I will be in overall better health. Thus, when I went to see Dr. Whelan for Network Care I told him my goals were to have a healthier spine, learn to be more relaxed and whatever else I might experience would be great. During my first session, I started to notice changes in my breathing. It was like I couldn't stop taking deep breaths in. I couldn't believe how much air my lungs were taking in. When my session was finished, I noticed I was standing and sitting up straight. I usually slouch, so this made me a believer of this work. But, the best part of it was I didn't care about a damn thing. I had some things on my mind before coming, but not when I left there. I was in a terrific mood and had the mentality of "don't sweat the small stuff" (or the big stuff, for that matter). It was a great feeling. One of the other major things I noticed was my body wanted to move more and was more flexible. I found myself dancing in my truck while I was driving, and I wanted to go dance more. All in all, it was an excellent experience that I plan to keep doing and I would recommend to anyone.
N.M.

I have been a patient of chiropractic in the past but it was the "crack & twist" variety. I suffered from terrible pains in the middle of my back, between my shoulder blades so that it hurt to sit up straight. Also, I had been looking for some additional holistic input to my health regime. I had concerns for my wellness. I was trying to optimize and then maintain that state.

After starting Network care it seems unnatural not to sit up straight! My breathing is now easier and fuller. I have better sleep patterns most of the time, and more energy. I feel better!

After my first Network treatment for carpal tunnel discomfort I was able to sleep comfortably for the first time in 6 weeks.

After my second treatment I recognized a larger in-flow of oxygen into my body. I felt livelier and increased my activity to painting lessons and piano lessons. Plus I read a lot and engage in group Bible classes at my house. Praise God for this breakthrough type of treatment for so many muscular health irregularities.

I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis when I was in college at UC Berkeley. I have always taken care of myself and sought the best possible care I could for myself. I am a strict vegetarian, exercise regularly, meditate, participate in yoga, receive regular acupuncture treatments, and use homeopathics when needed. Yet, my colitis still was a problem for me, especially whenever the things were stressful in my life. I went to college as a premed and was valedictorian of my class and was poised to go to medical school. However, at the last moment I was not keen on the idea of administering drugs or surgery to the people I would have under my care. So, I started looking into alternative forms of health care. That's when I discovered Network Care. After my first adjustment, I came home and cried uncontrollably for several hours. My doctor informed me that this was just my body's way of releasing the stored stress and energy that it had been storing from past stresses and traumas. After several months of care, I noticed that my colitis was no longer an issue at all.

I'm so happy I found Network Care because its given me my quality of life back..
S.R.

Thank you for the experience of Network. Now, after a year of care, I have to tell you that I not only believe in the concept, but also credit it for curing my reason for coming in the first place. I had been diagnosed as having colitis for a number of years. I was under the impression that this was something that would just get worse with time and that at best be contained. I had attempted a number of solutions including medications and changes in food habits and diets but to no avail. I am happy to report; I have just received a lab test back that reports "No Active Colitis". Without question, I credit this cure to Network Care.

Additionally, I can report that my lower back pains that I had experienced for a number of years disappeared after a couple of months of adjustments. I have also not experienced any sickness such as cold's or flu's since I started this program.

-Thank you Thank you
I so appreciate the wonderful peaceful surroundings for your work and for my care. My experience at has been very successful! I didn't get in this shape overnight and I feel like I am in a place now to clear many patterns that I have held on to since graduate school. I feel more balanced, confident, and clear-headed! It seems as though
my body is at peace and now has the energy to propel me forward to accomplish my professional goals and my goals as a good mom, and spouse. I even can handle the travel stress that once used to throw me into a tailspin. It feels so good to be relaxed for once, and I highly encourage every mom out there to take the time to learn what Network care has to offer. Trust me, I am saner and my husband and kids will agree.

Depression, anxiety

I had injured my right arm and had been through a series of anti-inflammatory medications and had stopped doing all activities except washing dishes, vacuuming and brushing my daughters hair. I also had a constant earache in my left ear. I was depressed because I couldn't work on any of my hobbies: gardening, crocheting, or just regular house work.

Since starting Network care with Dr.Hill the pain in my arm and the earache went away after the first adjustment. If I do some gardening or other hobby I haven't done for awhile my arm gets sore but goes away quickly. I have felt as though I have a happier attitude even if I'm not feeling well. I have not been so grumpy--I was so unhappy before.

Fibromyalgia

I'd been suffering with fibromyalgia for over five years now. I'd tried so many things and not many seemed to help. I'd done the medical route, the holistic route, the nutritional route, the spiritual path, and even other chiropractors. But, I decided to give Network Care a try because I was told this method had some success with people that had come in with fibromyalgia.

In the beginning, I noticed subtle changes. My breath opened up. My body seemed more relaxed. I was more aware of what I was feeling in my body. Even though my body was still in pain it seemed like something positive was shifting. I did notice that I was better able to handle life and its stresses. Slowly and progressively I realized that the fibromyalgia didn't "own" me anymore. I was starting to feel a sense of empowerment over my situation.

I also was taking medication for depression and for my thyroid condition. At about the third or fourth month I was able to significantly reduce my dosages of medications. I was very thankful for that. And after nine months, my pain was hardly noticeable at all and I stopped taking the medications for depression altogether.

Too bad more people with fibromyalgia don't know about Network Care. I used to attend Support Group meetings and everyone that came to speak to us told us they had the answer. Well, I'm finally glad I found the answer for me. Thanks for giving me my life back.
P.J.

I've been to many doctors and healers since I was young. And my fibromyalgia has not really responded much to anything except Network Care. I appreciate your taking the time to help me balance myself in so many ways that have made a lasting difference. I know I should come more often but since my schedule doesn't allow to-- the times I do come I find it helps my pain and tiredness significantly until the next time I come. Thanks!

Continuing back pain took me to a regular chiropractor and daily adjustments and daily traction was recommended. I chose not to initiate care. Then, in May 1999 I was admitted to the emergency room for intractable back pain. While there a new internist diagnosed me with fibromyalgia and was given various medications for this. My weight at this point had gone down 50 pounds since my first surgery. I was depressed and still unable to sit for more than 3-4 minutes at a time.

A friend told me about Network Care. On my first appointment, I was unable to lie down and he had to adjust me standing up. By my second or third treatment I was able to lie on the treatment table. I started Network Care with treatments three times weekly.
Since beginning NSA I have been able to discontinue the antipsychotics, pain medications, NSAIDs, and antianxiety medications. I have continued with my Network treatments and have experienced many changes in my physical, emotional and mental status.

I an now driving my car, walking, taking computer classes, have gained back 25 pounds, and am volunteering at the local animal hospital. But, one of the most significant improvements in my life is changed relationship to the pain of fibromyalgia and arthritis which I had been diagnosed with for several years. My pain doesn't run my life. I have a gentle loving relationship with it and my body. The body of my affairs, relationships, every day life concerns and marital experience has dramatically changed for the better. I am no longer impatient, stress is less and even my sexual relationship with my spouse has improved. I feel this is a direct result of my Network Care. It has literally given me my life back. I inform others of Network often and will continue to refer them.

Headache/Migraine

After my first visit with Dr. Hill and Network care, I noticed considerable flexibility in my back. I now breathe from my diaphragm as opposed to the shallow breathing that I had been doing all my life.

My posture has improved. I have less arthritis, and I have had no migraines since I started treatment. My night vision has remarkably improved, and I no longer have pain or pressure in my eyes. I had a soprano with a perfect pitch, which was lost and is now restored.

I have had headaches on and off since I was fourteen. I suffered fro a tailbone injury that happened when I was ten. I also broke my left ankle about 11 years ago. So needless to say there was not a day that went by that I was not in some sort of physical pain.

I started Network care six months ago. When I first started I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. The first month or so was pretty rough. Every time my lower back was touched I just wanted to come off the table-it hurt so bad, but now it is a rare occasion. I have had only one headache in the last four weeks. Before that, I would have them every other day if not everyday. And these were the debilitating headaches, like migraines. I feel like I have gotten rid of so much garbage and it just keeps getting better.
S.W.


I had been captivated by a lecture about Network Care done at a bookstore. I have not been disappointed. I have had relief from chronic headaches and have experienced an improvement in flexibility in my neck. I have reduced the amount of Florinal with codeine I use to keep taking when I have headaches. These three months have convinced me that I don't have to simply "live with" or "manage" constant pain. It has been very encouraging.
J.B.

I love Network care for several reasons. Before beginning Network I was subject to migraine headaches. I had medical treatments; massage therapy, acupressure, and any other therapy I could find. Nothing worked until I found Network.

Network has also helped me relax muscles I never even knew I had. My posture has improved and I have more flexibility in all parts of my body. Network has been a very positive process for me.

I was at a point in my life where I was told and felt that having surgery in my neck to fix my bulging disc was my only option. Having a neurosurgeon operate on my neck was a very frightening thought. Had it not been for a friend's referral to Network Care, I would have taken that route.

When, I came in early November I was desperate. I just wanted something to help relieve the pain I was experiencing in my neck, shoulder, and arm. I felt like I was becoming debilitated very quickly and it was affecting my whole life and my entire being. I was constantly in pain, I couldn't sleep at night, it was affecting my work, and I was stressed most of the time. Unfortunately, my family suffered the most. My life changed when I started Network Care. I was told that you could not cure or take away my pain, but you could help me help myself. Even though I heard what was said, I wasn't quite sure what to make of it. I'm just beginning to understand the depth of the meaning of your words. Coming into care was one of the best things I could have ever done for me and my family.

The physical symptoms I initially came in for have definitely lessened (which I'm grateful for) but they don't seem to be of major importance or a priority in my life anymore. The emotional changes and spiritual growth I've been experiencing on a daily basis are the priorities in my life. I'm able to deal with everyone I come in contact with and everyday situations in a much more relaxed and calm way. I'm not the same person I was three months ago. Since, my entrainments I have recaptured an inner peace and harmony within my being that I haven't felt in a long, long time.

Thank you for helping my family and friends. And most of all, thank you for the time to help me heal myself.
