Steps Towards A Greater Wellbeing
We provide chiropractic care that may assist with the musculoskeletal aspects of:
• Back pain (lower, middle, upper)
• Neck pain, neck tightness and neck stiffness
• Headaches and migraines (certain types)
• Sciatica (radiating leg pain)
• Shoulder, ankle, knee or hip pain
• Sports injuries
• Chronic pain (stubborn long term pain)
If you’re ready to take control of your health and live without pain, we’re here to help. Our chiropractic care focuses on identifying the root causes of your discomfort and working with your chosen health care team to help you achieve long-lasting relief.
Chiropractic care may provide support for the spinal and musculoskeletal aspects of the above issues. However, if Jason suspects your health issues to be due to other causes, a medical referral will be provided.
Network Spinal Analysis (NSA)
A Chiropractic Method
NSA care (Network Spinal Analysis) initially focusses upon reduction of spinal stiffness and teaching the nervous system to enhance brain-body communication rather than start with the correction of spinal misalignment. In some cases this approach will reduce and may even resolve symptoms which have developed as a result of spinal dysfunction. This includes symptoms such as chronic pain, numbness and tingling, headaches, shoulder pain and back pain to name a few. Another objective, in some cases, is to improve functions controlled by the nervous system such as strength and coordination of the back, neck, arms and legs.
Once several functional indicators have improved, the traditional chiropractic adjustment can be offered, and due to reduced stiffness from the NSA care, the adjustment may then not only be more comfortable but may also "hold" longer.
For those people who request to only receive the gentle NSA touches, they can still achieve great results, it may just take longer. Some people who had previously not found the traditional chiropractic adjustments to be comfortable have travelled hundreds of kilometres specifically to receive this very low force neuroplastic treatment method by Canberra chiropractor Dr Jason Barritt at the Body Mind Empowerment Centre in Lyneham, ACT.

Dr. Jason Barrit - NSA Chiropractor
I have found that by focussing on a powerful neuroplastic treatment approach, I have been able to assist hundreds of people to reduce symptoms as well as enhance overall health, performance and quality of life. While am cannot grantee results, I use gentle NSA care as my primary method in my Canberra chiropractic clinic. University researchers have published data that reveals NSA care can be a very effective form of Neuroplastic Treatment. I use NSA care to apply gentle touches to the spine and body, which creates an active, visible** and profound healing response governed by the brain and nervous system. I have learned how to guide this self-correcting response into all areas of the body. This means, in many but not all cases, I frequently teach the brain to target its restorative influence into dysfunctional and/or symptomatic areas of the body. For many of my patients, this approach has been very different from anything else they have tried.
Please see my video demonstrating the NSA response being targeted into a dysfunctional and symptomatic area of the body.

Network Spinal Analysis (NSA) Chiropractic
Many people search for a "chiropractor in Canberra" to access professional care. As a Canberra chiropractor with nearly 30 years of experience, Dr Jason Barritt provides management for back pain, neck pain, and musculoskeletal restrictions in many areas of the body including the shoulders, arms and legs. At the Body Mind Empowerment Centre, he utilises Network Spinal Analysis (NSA), a chiropractic method focused on gentle spinal care. Our centre is located in Lyneham ACT, in the inner north near Dickson and just a short walk from the Dickson Shops via the Lyneham wetlands.
NSA Care can incorporate traditional chiropractic adjustments. This is usually only done after NSA method has reduced the spinal stiffness so that the chiropractic spinal adjustment can be received by the body with ease and comfort.
Spinal tension and misalignment between the vertebrae (bones of the spine) may interfere with nerve messages from the brain to the body, potentially leading to pain, stiffness, muscle tightness and many other symptoms such as numbness and tingling.
Some of our clients travel hundreds of kilometres to receive the effective soft touch of NSA care at the Body Mind Empowerment Centre in the Lyneham ACT, Dickson ACT, Kaleen ACT and Belconnen ACT areas of Canberra.
Medical researchers summarise some of the results of NSA care with the following statements. In fact, this is where the idea of naming this Canberra practice as the Body Mind Empowerment Centre came from.
"During a period of several months, physiological and psychological changes can be obtained.
This includes increased flexibility of the spine, increased range of motion, improved mood and sense of relaxation, self-reported wellness, and a greater capacity to cope with stressful situations.
There observations provide a basis for considering that NSA care involves in body-mind interactions."
