I worked with Dr. Simon over ten years ago, at that time I made a HUGE shift towards bettering my emotional and spiritual health. He was a big inspiration and teacher during this important transition! And the man does not age, he has to be doing something right!!!

Throughout the 90′s Dr. Simon Dove was my Chiropractor in Soho, NYC.  I have always had a chronic stiff neck and Dr. Dove was the only one who has ever helped me.  I found him to be the most gentle, caring practitioner that I’ve ever been to.  He really helped me to help myself with advice on how to care for myself.  I really miss Dr. Dove as a person and doctor.

Before Network Chiropractic Care, I lived in a constant world of headaches, that has been over 20 years ago. Since then, I feel great and seldom have those horrible migraine headaches, and when I do have the slightest headache, it is a short time! I am not on any prescriptions, as this care has allowed me to live “drug free”!
I am a bookeeper/accountant and have tax deadlines every month, and especially high during “tax season”! Without my Network Care, I could not function during these times! I am very seldom down with illness, so I can meet my many deadlines! Also my Network Chiropractic Care time is my weekly “meditation” and recharge time!

Life before Network Chiropractic Care was full of unrelenting pain! Now there is an overflowing of gratitude, and… in 3 easy sessions!

Before working with Dr. Dove I was just barely managing Life. Things constantly felt Up-and-Down’ and out of control. Now after working with Dr. Dove I feel like I have a personal manager in my Life, and instead of getting thrown Up and Down’ I am enjoying much more of Life. Now I get to ride with Life! There is an increasing equanimity now! That’s Network to me.

I’m thirty five years old and I have been struggling with ulcerative colitis since I was 20 years old.  I have been on and off the prescribed medicine; experiencing high anxiety, depression and extreme weight loss, and my body became very fatigued. As much as my goal was to heal myself on my own, I found that Network Chiropractic has helped me form a better balance in my life.  I am now working with the SRI practices daily at home and coming in to see Dr. Dove weekly to ensure that I am gaining all that I can.  I have noticed many big changes in my life, the biggest being, having a grasp on taking control of my life, my body and not allowing my old unconscious patterns take charge anymore.  I have gained my weight back, and feel safe in my body.  When anxiety arises, it comes with a different perception.  I am no longer controlled by it; I can witness it and move through it more easily than ever.

I have taken charge of my life and feel empowered for the first time in many years. Dr. Simon Dove is the one who can assist in connecting anyone to that missing part of their selves.  We all are on a path to find wholeness.  Seeking help from techniques like Network Chiropractic and SRI will only enhance the practices that you are already doing.  I find my daily practice of yoga and meditation to be better than ever before, I can truly come to my place of stillness and honor my light within.  I am no longer compulsive about what I eat, or how my health is doing. My digestion and elimination are stronger than ever before, even during stressful times. I have been able to keep my anxiety levels down and my body calm.  I give thanks to Dr. Dove for this change!

At age 18 months, my son experienced constant constipation, which resulted in mild behavior related issues.  I have always believed when people don’t feel right, they don’t act right.  We tried many dietary tactics to help him feel better and to overcome his constipation but the issue continued to grow.

By age two, Cooper’s constipation became such an issue physically and emotionally that his pediatrician prescribed Milk of Magnesia and a glycerin suppository when necessary, even if it was necessary on an every other day basis.  We went to another Pediatrician who tested him for gluten intolerance and upon feeling his belly, suggested immediate x-rays to observe the colon.  With x-ray results and profound concern, we were sent to the local medical center in our area.  Cooper was not found to have a gluten intolerance and once again we were told that this is extremely common for young children to control their bowels and that we should put him on Miralax, a prescription laxative (adult strength) and give him suppositories when necessary and as often as needed.  Wow, the same advice but a stronger laxative.  For an entire year, we gave Cooper Miralax and, on occasion, a glycerin suppository.  It was a crutch that enabled the elimination process, but only a crutch.  We would not take the same advice again.

At age three, Cooper was still unable to experience regular bowel movements without Miralax and an occasional suppository. We visited an Osteopath and a Homeopathic Doctor. Cooper was still suffering from severe constipation.  In conjunction with the constipation, Cooper was identified at school as having Sensory Integration Issues.  These needs were also clearly noticed at the home.  It was recommended that Cooper work with an occupational therapist to support his needs.

It was in June of 2005 when my sister called me in pure excitement about having met Dr. Simon Dove at an introductory talk about NSA (Network Spinal Analysis).  She strongly suggested I call him for myself and for Cooper.  I called and explained our painful situation to Dr. Dove, with a follow-up question of, “Do you think you can help him?”  When Dr. Dove responded, “ I believe I can,” my hopes were high but still muted by the lack of success we had experienced over the past few years.   We met, I believe, three times that week with Dr. Dove and I can tell you, in all honesty, that since the second meeting with Dr. Dove, Cooper has had one to three bowel movements everyday since.

During those first few visits afterwards Cooper would tell me he was feeling “weird feelings (emotions)”, but it was “good”. His eyes were soft and sweet. He would want to sit outside on the curb in the sun for awhile, and after a few minutes he would say “ok, now let’s go.” It is now eight months into treatment and Cooper has not suffered from even a day of constipation.   Physically, I know he (Cooper age 5) is more comfortable and emotionally he is back to a more consistent happy, easygoing, energetic, confident and caring little boy. Those Sensory Integration Issues at school were all resolved… No more therapy… Back to being 5!

Imagine a five year old having x-ray after x-ray, blood test after blood test, physical exams by doctors he does not know and medicine on a daily basis.  Imagine this for two and a half years.  That was the scenario in my son’s life.

Imagine now, the care and gentle touch of a doctor who truly appreciates the physical, emotional and human spirit of this little boy.  A doctor who took the time to allow this five-year old to feel at ease in his office and facilitated a safe and comfortable environment.  A doctor who holds and entertains this little boy’s younger sister in his arms while he treats him and his mother.

Furthermore, Imagine how the parents of this five-year old feel:  supported, cared for, understood, appreciative and grateful.

Imagine everyone being able to feel this way simply by being cared for and treated in an effective way that matters.

My husband and I are incredibly thankful for the support of Dr. Simon Dove.  We had no idea that Dr. Dove’s care and knowledge and Network Spinal Analysis would be such a support to Cooper’s overall health.  I can’t tell you that I fully understand why this method of care for the human body is so effective and so supportive on the physical and mental well-being of its practitioners, but I have witnessed it with my son and experienced the support as a practitioner myself.   It feels like a true understanding of the human body and mind.  In simple terms, it seems as though Dr. Dove’s work allows the mind to think differently and create new patterns for the body.  I could not teach a course on the practice nonetheless explain the practice in detail but I could write a book about the effect Dr. Dove has had on Cooper’s well-being and spirit and on my whole family.

I want to thank you (Dr. Simon Dove) for everything you have done for me.  I came to you only about a month ago complaining of chronic nausea, mood swings, and mild depression.  I followed the care plan that you recommended and my nausea has gone away.  The mood swings are less severe and the depression has gotten even milder.  It’s hard for me to believe that all of this has happened so quickly. I was often confused and felt defeated about life in general. I am beginning to feel better about life and more in control of my emotions.  I am not feeling so lost and alone in the world.  This has been such an eye opening experience for me.  The work you do is amazing and beautiful. Thanks, again.
