What is Spinal Energetics?
Spinal Energetics is a gentle, non-invasive healing modality that blends Eastern and Western philosophies of health, including chiropractic principles, somatic practices, energy healing, and neuroscience. Developed by chiropractor and energetic healer Dr. Sarah Jane, it focuses on releasing stored tension, emotions, and trauma through the body’s natural energetic pathways—primarily the spine.
Rather than applying forceful manipulation, Spinal Energetics works with subtle energetic movements, breath, and intention to stimulate the body’s innate ability to heal.
The Link Between the Spine, Emotions, and Mental Health
The spine is more than just a structural support for your body—it is the gateway to your nervous system. Every experience, emotion, and trauma we face is processed and stored in the nervous system. Over time, unprocessed stress, grief, or anxiety can manifest as physical tension or emotional stagnation, often held in the spine and surrounding tissues.
Conditions like depression and anxiety are deeply connected to dysregulation of the nervous system. When the nervous system is stuck in a chronic state of fight, flight, or freeze, it can lead to:
- Persistent low mood or hopelessness (depression)
- Restlessness, panic, and excessive worry (anxiety)
- Fatigue, brain fog, and physical symptoms like headaches or muscle tension
How Spinal Energetics Supports Healing from Depression and Anxiety
1. Regulates the Nervous System
Spinal Energetics helps shift the nervous system from a stress response (sympathetic dominance) to a healing and resting state (parasympathetic dominance). This regulation is essential for emotional balance and can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.
2. Releases Stored Emotions and Trauma
Through gentle energetic and somatic processes, Spinal Energetics can help release suppressed emotions held in the body. Many clients report experiencing emotional releases during sessions, such as crying, shaking, or spontaneous movements. This process is believed to free the body from emotional “blockages” that may contribute to mental distress.
3. Promotes Mind-Body Awareness
This modality increases awareness of how the body holds stress and emotion. Clients become more attuned to their internal states, which is key in healing from anxiety and depression. Mind-body awareness fosters emotional resilience and empowers people to respond rather than react to stress.
4. Improves Energy Flow and Vitality
Depression is often described as a lack of energy or vitality. Spinal Energetics helps to restore energetic flow throughout the body, which many describe as feeling lighter, more alive, and more connected. This sense of energetic renewal can be a powerful antidote to emotional numbness or fatigue.
5. Supports Holistic Wellbeing
Unlike talk therapy alone, Spinal Energetics addresses healing from a multidimensional perspective—physical, emotional, energetic, and spiritual. This integrative approach can complement traditional treatments for anxiety and depression, offering clients a deeper, embodied experience of healing.
