Meet Dr. Robyn Graber
Dr. Robyn Graber has been practicing chiropractic care since 1989 and has specialized in Network Spinal Care for decades. Her approach combines gentle chiropractic care with a broader understanding of the relationship between the nervous system, body awareness, and overall wellbeing.
Network Spinal Care
Network Spinal also known as Network Spinal Analysis, NSA, and Network Chiropractic is an evidenced-based approach to wellness and body awareness. Gentle, precise touches to the spine cues the brain to create new wellness promoting strategies. With Network Spinal Care the focus is on reducing tension and improving function within the nervous system and creating long term upgraded strategies for brain-body communication. This is accomplished through the application of light touch contacts to specific points along the spine, called spinal gateways primarily in the upper neck (cervical) and lower spine (sacral) regions. This process is called an Entrainment and it differs from traditional chiropractic adjustments in that no force is used to correct spinal misalignments.
What is an Entrainment?
An entrainment is a Network Spinal chiropractic “adjustment.” Network practitioners use the word entrainment to describe not only the light touch spinal treatment but how all parts of you (body, mind, and spirit) synchronize and work together in harmony to heal.
Two Approaches to Chiropractic Care
Personalized to You
Not every body needs the same type of chiropractic care.
At Inner Sage, we offer both Network Spinal Care and traditional chiropractic adjustments when appropriate, allowing us to choose the approach—or combination of approaches—that best meets your needs.
Network Spinal Care
Network Spinal offers a different chiropractic experience.
Using gentle, precise contacts along specific areas of the spine, Network Spinal focuses on the relationship between the spine and nervous system and the patterns of tension your body has developed over time.
Rather than using greater force to create change, these light contacts are designed to increase awareness within the nervous system and encourage new, more adaptable responses.
Patients may notice changes in their breathing, movement, relaxation, and the way their body holds tension during and following care.
Traditional Chiropractic Care
Traditional chiropractic uses specific, hands-on or instrument-assisted adjustments to improve joint mobility and spinal function. These adjustments may involve a quick, controlled movement and may sometimes produce the familiar “popping” or “cracking” sound associated with chiropractic care.
There are times when a more direct, traditional adjustment may be appropriate. When it is, we can incorporate it into your care in a gentle, thoughtful way.
Why Offer Both?
Some people respond beautifully to the gentle approach of Network Spinal. Others may benefit from a traditional chiropractic adjustment at certain times. For some patients, the most appropriate care may include elements of both.
Having both approaches available gives us greater flexibility to meet your body where it is on any given visit.
The goal isn't to fit you into a particular technique. It's to determine what type of care is most appropriate for you and your spine—while supporting greater ease, adaptability, and function.
Gentle When Possible.
Traditional When Needed.
Always Personalized.
Whether your care involves the light-touch approach of Network Spinal, a traditional chiropractic adjustment, or a thoughtful combination of both, your care is tailored to you. There are times when a more direct, traditional adjustment may be appropriate. When it is, we can incorporate it into your care in a gentle, thoughtful way.

The Research Behind Network Spinal
Network Spinal was developed by Dr. Donald Epstein in 1987 and has been studied for decades as an approach to wellness, self-awareness, and quality of life.
One large retrospective study included more than 2,000 Network patients from 156 practices in the U.S. and abroad. Among those surveyed, 76% reported improvements in all areas assessed, including physical and emotional well-being, stress response, life enjoyment, and overall quality of life.
