When you’re searching for real healing, it’s not just about the technique—it’s about the people who walk with you on the journey. In this episode of Healing Beyond the Symptoms, Dr. Leah Hahn D.C. and Dr. Scott Hahn D.C. share their personal stories, their path into chiropractic, and why they chose Network Spinal nervous system-based care.

Dr. Scott Hahn D.C. explains how a football injury led him to chiropractic, and how Network Spinal allowed him to release old trauma and transform not only physically, but emotionally and mentally. Dr. Leah Hahn D.C. shares her shift from a medically-focused upbringing to a holistic philosophy of care, and why Network Spinal helped her experience peace and true connection in her body for the first time.

Together, they reveal why healing is relational—why compassion, safety, and guidance matter as much as science and strategy. They explain how they’ve built a trauma-informed, family-centered clinic where healing ripples outward from the individual to their loved ones.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why real healing requires guides, not just techniques
  
  
• Dr. Scott’s and Dr. Leah’s personal healing journeys
  
  
• How Network Spinal differs from traditional chiropractic
  
  
• Why safety, gentleness, and connection are essential for healing trauma patterns
  
  
• What to expect in care: testing, light adjustments, and nervous system-based healing
  
  
• Why the body isn’t broken—it’s patterned, and patterns can change

Gentle Is Powerful: How Light Touch Rewires Your Nervous System

Our culture glorifies intensity: “no pain, no gain” workouts, crash diets, aggressive treatments. But what if the nervous system doesn’t respond to force? What if it responds to safety?

She shares her own story of burnout from high-intensity living and reveals how light, specific touch helped her body reset into true healing.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why forceful approaches often backfire in healing

Is Your Nervous System Blocking Your Healing?

You’ve tried the diets, the supplements, the workouts, even therapy and meditation—but something still feels off. You’re exhausted, anxious, and stuck in survival mode. The problem isn’t that you’re doing it wrong. It’s that your nervous system hasn’t learned how to feel safe again.

In this episode of Healing Beyond the Symptoms, Dr. Leah Hahn D.C., explains why nervous system regulation is the missing link for so many people on their healing journey. Stress physiology patterns create “armor” in the body that shows up as tension, shallow breathing, fatigue, or emotional reactivity. Until these patterns shift, other healing strategies often won’t last.

You’ll learn why the nervous system is the body’s operating system, how stored trauma and stress create long-term patterns, and practical ways to reset your system with daily awareness, breathwork, and gentle care.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why diets, supplements, and workouts often don’t “stick” without nervous system regulation
  
  
• How stress physiology creates armor in the body and blocks healing
  
  
• Everyday signs of nervous system dysregulation
  
  
• First steps to reset: awareness, acknowledgment, and micro-resets
  
  
• Why Network Spinal care helps reorganize patterns and unlock lasting change
