For those of you whose science mind is tweaked by what these network spinal analysis (NSA) “waves” are all about check out this research conducted by Dr. E. Jonckheere, electrical engineer, and Dr. Hiebert, Network Chiropractor through the University of Southern California. http://tinyurl.com/cqv6a6.

This research examines the network wave, a response in the spine that develops over time with network care, and suggests it is evidence of (CPG central pattern generator) behavior.  What is a CPG?  It is a neural network that can produce rhythmic patterned output without rhythmic sensory or central input.  Basically, a response generated at the spinal level that does not require the brain.  This is a very exciting and potentially ground breaking finding.   One paraplegic patient was able to sustain this network wave despite the presence of a C5 (lower neck) burst fracture.   We will have to wait to see where this leads in the future.
