Neuro-Emotional technique (Net)
When stress is affecting your body, part of the solution can be addressing the physical response.
Stress isn’t just something in your head. Your body responds to it, too.
Neuro-Emotional Technique (NET) is a mind-body approach that addresses the physiological effects of stress, and helps improve communication within the nervous system. At Red Canyon Chiropractic, NET is used as part of a broader, whole-person approach to care.
Who can benefit from NET?
Net may be worth exploring if you notice that stress seems to show up physically, or you’re having difficulty returning to a calm, resilient state.

NET is about recognizing that the brain and body are connected, and that stress can have very real physiological effects.
How does NET work?
Initial Evaluation
Dr. Donnelly will begin by evaluating you to determine whether NET may be appropriate.
Use Net Where Helpful
If your examination indicates that unresolved physiological stress may be contributing to what you’re experiencing, NET may be incorporated into your care.
Address Physiological Patterns Causing stress
The technique works with the nervous system to address the physiological pattern associated with the stressor. It is not necessary to spend extended time talking through the event, or even to focus extensively on details pertaining to what you have experienced.
PROCESS AND RELEASE
The emphasis with NET is to help your body process and release the physiological response it is having to stress.
What might you notice?
Everyone responds differently, but the goal with NET is to help your nervous system function more effectively and return to a calmer state.
Greater emotional resilience
A calmer response to stressful situations
Reduced physical tension associated with stress
Improved ability to regulate stress
Changes in physical symptoms associated with unresolved stress
The goal of NET is to help your body respond appropriately rather than continuing to carry a physiological stress that is no longer serving you.
Why Red Canyon?
Dr. Donnelly is certified in Neuro-Emotional Technique and incorporates NET within a broader clinical approach.
That distinction matters.
Because Dr. Donnelly looks at the whole person and uses the tools most appropriate to what he finds, NET isn’t offered as a standalone answer to every problem. The best solution for some patients may be some combination of chiropractic care, functional medicine, applied kinesiology, and NET. Whatever is recommended, the goal is practical: understand how the body is functioning and determine what may help it function better.
Frequently asked questions
Is NET the same as therapy?
No. NET is not talk therapy or counseling. It addresses the physiological effects of stress through a mind-body approach.
Do I have to talk about a traumatic experience?
NET does not depend on traditional talk therapy or repeatedly discussing an experience. The focus is on the body’s physiological response to stress.
How do I know if NET is right for me?
An examination can help determine whether NET may be useful for your particular situation. It is not appropriate for every person or every problem.
Your body remembers stress. It can also learn a different response.
