Chiropractic
Work
Chiropractic,
at its core, is the art and science of using the hands to address
the body and enhance the functioning of the spine and nervous
system.
I’ve
found over the years that there are a lot of people out in the
world who have not heard of Chiropractic, or have misconceptions
of it, or are unaware of the many different techniques used.
There
are many different techniques used in the field of chiropractic.
The first chiropractors only adjusted the uppermost vertebrae
in the neck. These groundbreaking doctors were able to help
people with everything from neck pain, to asthma, to deafness,
which was reversed in the first official chiropractic patient,
Harvy Lillard in 1895, through chiropractic adjustment of his
spine.
Other
Chiropractors only adjust the low back, or sacrum. Some use
instruments, or small tools to adjust the spine. Some use tremendous
amounts of force, some use hardly any force at all.
So
what’s the point of this little history lesson? All of
these techniques work, but not all of them all the time. I have
studied many techniques, and have chosen as my basis a technique
which was designed to combine something of great value from
each one of them… a ‘greatest hits list’ if
you will.
Network
Spinal Analysis is a system of adjusting the spine
which above all, honors a patient’s own ability to
be it’s best healer, and uses tell tale signs that the
body shows us, such as posture, tension, and subluxation patterns,
to apply the least amount of force necessary to effect the greatest
result at any given time. At the same time, by starting with
light force, our bodies can literally re-learn how to better
unwind our own tensions. You become empowered to heal, which
can be incredibly profound, and the results can be amazing,
and long lasting.
When
people come to see me they say I ‘Listen with all senses’;
words, body language, intuition, and hands. Healing often starts
with feeling heard.
I
like to treat the whole being. Chiropractic is my chosen tool
for doing so. Chiropractic is, I feel, better at doing so
than most forms of traditional western medicine. Network Spinal
Analysis is better than most forms of Chiropractic. I also do
other techniques as well such as kinesiology, herbal medicine,
homeopathic, and reflex work to be sure that a patient (I like
to call them ‘practice member’, patients are sick.
My clients heal) gets the care they need, and that their system
feels heard, and addressed, and given the space to heal.
I
am aware that different people have different needs, and even
regular clients have different needs on different days. It’s
important to have lots of tools in the toolkit in order to be
as effective as possible.
Come
in and see Dr. Watts if you would like:
• Care tailored to your needs.
• Solution oriented, results oriented, healing oriented
care.
• To be moving forward, towards peak performance, not
just out of pain.
What
blows people away?
The experience that they themselves are capable of healing,
of feeling their own power unleashed. It’s very empowering.
A lot of people end up in my office because they were afraid
to see a Chiropractor, but heard I have the ability to be gentle.
It is, and should always be, a joy to visit your chiropractor.
It is a joy to have a positive relationship with your body.
It is a joy to feel yourself heal.
Come
in and have a unique healing experience. You deserve it!

The
Office |
 Dr.
Watts' office is a welcoming and relaxed environment. Once a residence,
the Historic 'Cota-Knox' building, located at 914 Anacapa St.,
Santa Barbara, was built of bricks that were used as ballast
in the ships that came into town in the 1800's. The oldest brick
building in town, it is now part of the California State Park
system that is in the same block as the famous Presidio, in Old
Town Santa Barbara. In the mid 1800's, it was the residence and
office of a former civil war surgeon. The residential feel is
maintained, as the waiting room is more like a living room. Some
of my clients like to use it as a safe place to meet their kids
after school, and dogs are always welcome to come in and get a
drink from the water bowl in the kitchen.

"Dr.
Eric Watts is quite possibly the most caring, conscientious,
and kind professional I have met in any walk of life. He has
helped me out over the years not just with his chiropractic
skills, but also with his general knowledge of medical and health
promotion matters. He has a gentle touch and provides that is
in distinct contrast to the bone-crunching way that chiropractors
are sometimes falsely portrayed."
- D.F. PhD
"I
never believed in lighter force chiropractic treatment 'til I
went to Dr. Watts... Some of his work is quite traditional - sacral
especially - and excellent. Some of it works like magic... And
it's AMAZING! Additionally, he has me address the root causes
(in my heart and mind) as he works... So I leave feeling better
physically and emotionally... WOW! - Thank you Eric!!!"
