Yours in Health,
Dr. Scott Simerman
Having contracted Rheumatoid Arthritis (RM) 17 years ago, I have gone through numerous treatments to fight against the pains and inflammations in my joints. Over three years ago, I discovered acupuncture under Dr. Lin and he was able to help me to put RM under control and I was drug-free. Over one and half years ago, I discovered however, that Dr. Lin was unable to treat the inflammations in my NECK JOINTS. I was suffering a great deal from inflammations of the joints of my neck. I was not able to turn my head, nor was I sleeping well at nights. Having watched Dr. Simerman treating my cousin Fanny's symptoms in her skin problems and total well-being, I decided to consult with Dr.Simerman regarding my RM issues in Nov. 2000. I began to visit Dr. Simerman three times each week. Within a month, the inflammations and pains were gone from my neck. Dr. Simerman also assisted me in my diet and various other exercises to learn and teach myself, so that my body was able to regain its ability to heal itself. I find Dr. Simerman is a caring and sympathetic person to work with my issues. Today, my RM is under control and my total well-being has improved significantly.
I highly recommend that you consult Dr. Simerman for your physical well-being.
God Bless, T.M.
Thanks! So much for bringing me to a healthier place in my life! When I first came to you I was taking Paxil (20mg a day). I started decreasing my dosage to 10mg. I did this for about the 1st couple of visits to your office. After coming here for a couple of weeks now, I am finally off the Paxil and feel like a new person. I really feel great! I can deal with stress, my emotions and can breathe much to my surprise, and I feel great great great!
It was very hard for me the 1st two weeks. I felt out of my mind. I couldn't focus, I was crying a lot, I had these electric currents going through my body and driving me crazy. I didn't know whether it was from going off Paxil or from Dr. Scott. Now I realize it was a combination of both. But working with Dr. Scott has only made me able to free myself of this medication that has suppressed my emotions for one year of my life.!
All I can say is thanks for bringing me back to feeling like a real person again!
I also have 2 girls ages 2 ½ years and 5 years. They also have changed from seeing Dr. Scott. They seem to be a little more loving with each other, playing together with less fighting. I can't wait to see more changes in the year ahead.
Thanks again,
T.K.
I knew, when I felt blocked after a lumpectomy, that there was one person who could help me. I came back and you performed your magic. I feel unblocked and healthy. The fact is that I had a mammogram last week and I am cancer-free!!
Thank you dear man, T.L.
I came to Scott 13 years ago, right before his son was born. Through the years I have experienced the changes in his practice, but through it all, an underlying belief in responsibility and peace have held true. I can't believe I used to walk around all stuffed in old patterns and think I was just fine!
Now I am flexible. I see all the colors of the spectrum. I hear what people are really saying. All because of Scott? Yes, Scott and me. We work together to remain healthy and free!
If you are reading this, you are interested in the work or maybe at the beginning of your journey. Enjoy the bumps on the road. They might not be easy but they are yours.

I enjoy alternative healing system exploration. In 6 previous attempts with other practitioner efforts, I've come up short with prostate symptom help. With Scott's work and recommendations I've been symptom-free for 2 months for the 1st time in 7 years!
Thank you, R.S.
When I first experienced Network Chiropractic it sounded too good to be true. I have had chronic back pain, severe at times, for at least 20 years, and was always searching, hoping for an answer to relieve my pain. I knew it was due to stress, but couldn't seem to make the mind-body connection… until I started coming to see you. I haven't been this pain-free in years! Not only do I feel better each time I have a treatment, I am much more aware of times I am starting to transfer stress to my spine, and thus can thwart this behavior.!
Thanks for making me feel better, and for showing me how to make my life better.
T.S.
I began working with Scott in June 2000 following a diagnosis of a multiple breast cancer bone metastasis. I was looking for a way to access the healing coherence that informs my physical form. It is very easy to lose sight of this vital connection in the face of such news and very common to act swiftly and inappropriately. I determined this would not happen to me!
I took very concrete steps to remain open to what would be the safest and most effective course, much to the chagrin of my oncologist. Three things happened. I met a man who introduced me to chanting and I discovered an easy way to access the calm expansive pool of creative intelligence within. Next I met an acupuncturist whose experience with cancer in his native China could support my body's need to get back on a healthy course. Again, the effect subjectively was instantaneous. Then I met Scott. Once my body recognized the identical healing experience now happening a third time, I knew I had proof positive that I could trust my inner knowing whenever I chose to access it. It's the body's ability to remember this inner knowing that needs strengthening in the case of ill health and I thank you, Scott, for providing the crowning touch!

I have gratefully and joyfully been receiving Scott's adjustments for over six years. At first, it was about helping me to relax, to release the tension in my body. Then I began to notice that I was processing my life's day-to-day "issues" with much more ease. I was becoming clear and centered, in every aspect of my life. I was filled with love and joy. I still am!! My health issues are long resolved; I get adjusted three times a week because it makes me feel so good. It's my gift to myself!
Here's my advice to those who read this: don't be afraid to look within yourselves. You won't heal until you look at your issues, own your responsibilities, and resolve them. Work hard on improving your life. Educate yourself on excellent nutrition and make changes in your diet - you will reap great rewards if you do. Slow down. De-clutter your life and create a more harmonious lifestyle for yourself. This may require changes in your life. Do it! You are worth it. This wonderful stuff that Scott does for us will support you, and your body. It will help open you to amazing and wonderful changes, within your body and your life!
Scott, besides being an immensely gifted Network Chiropractor, is a genuinely caring, generous, and loving person. He never hesitates to share his vast knowledge and skills (beyond Network Chiropractic). He is enthusiastic about his practice and is always seeking to learn and grow. He is an inspiration, a coach, and our precious gift. Enjoy!

I feel not only more energetic, flexible, and flowing, I also am shifting my perceptions about the body. Aches and pains are now things which pass through, letting me know how I've created tension, and are not to be "held" either in body or mind. As a result, I feel freer, healthier, and well. I prayed for a straighter spine and believed scoliosis could be overcome- and my dream is coming true and my prayers answered!
Thank you, Scott, and this is only my 4th week!
C.R.
It's been four years, now, of constant, weekly care from Scott.
As of about 3 months ago I was able to find the courage to go off all my medications, an inhaler for asthma, and my diuretic for water retention!
I am better than fine- I was scared, but I now fully realize the benefit of what Scott has been able to provide for my mind and body to do for itself- HEAL.

I have been suffering from a very serious case of eczema for over two years, and underwent a variety of treatment, including Chinese herbs, acupuncture and homeopathic medicines. Some provided temporary relief but nothing of a permanent nature!
After paying a visit to the emergency room one weekend evening, I called Dr. Scott Simerman on the recommendation of a family member. I was able to see him the next day and started treatment immediately. In the past year, he has helped me control my eczema, and contributed to an improvement in my total well-being. He has also taught me a variety of physical and mental exercises to maintain my overall health!
I would highly recommend Dr. Simerman to others. Regards,
F.M.
Scott is my 3rd Network Chiropractor in six years. His extensive skills both within and outside of Network add up to one thing- Results. On a very consistent basis, my weekly visits leave me feeling transformed- more energy flowing, more relaxed, more ALIVE. I'm really glad to have been introduced to Network and especially to Scott's excellent practice. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I recently had a D&C to have polyps removed- I was very scared, never having had any surgery in the past- the day of the surgery went very smoothly and I was more able to deal with the fear because of the breathing technique my body seemed to automatically go into!
As each week goes by, my tension and stress seem to just get less and less.

As a typical type 'A' personality I was never at a lack of something to do. You know- always in a rush to finish something, because there were 10 more things to do! Lately, I've noticed, I don't care about rushing to do those "10 things." What got done, got done. I'm enjoying my life. I'm relaxing on the deck, watching birds, taking afternoon naps. Life is great when you stop to enjoy it. I know this work is the reason.

On a rating of 1 to 10, you and your therapy are a 10+. After suffering through 3 weeks of "back-breaking" pain, I came to you and began to feel better almost immediately. Now, after 4 weeks of therapy I am feeling really good and getting better everyday!
Thank you so much for your help. Sincerely, S.M. [Dentist]
I just wish to give you my heartfelt thanks, as I get ready now to head back West. The healing which has taken place here has been quite amazing to me!
When I first came, not only was my back in pain, but also my energy was depleted, sleep was poor, and I was stressed and out of balance. Now, after these few months, I feel back to myself again, which is so welcome. My sleep started improving shortly after beginning treatments. Then I started getting more and more back in balance, energy returning. And though by back didn't feel worse for a while during the process, now it, too, feels more strong and alive and comfortable!
As a former yoga teacher, I've been so impressed by the way in which you are consistently able to give such quality of attention and care to each individual you work with!
So- now I'm off to do some hiking in Arizona! And I'll probably see you again before very long!
Again, my thanks- Deborah
I'm amazed continually by my athletic performance. It just keeps getting better and better. My ability to focus, concentrate, and flow with the movement astounds me. I feel almost as though you are a secret weapon giving me a terrifically unfair advantage in competition!!
My grace and ability skiing have thrilled me, and have improved amazingly- and I have been skiing for over 30 years! Thank you!!
Love- Hope
Since my first Network experience, I've been seeing results in many areas of my life. 6 months into care, I manage everyday stress much lighter, and my PMS and menstrual cramps have practically ceased to exist. My spirit has opened up and allowed me to seek, without fear, some of my heart's truest desires. Network is now a part of me and my lifestyle!
Thanks. R.L.R.
In the past 12 years, when you took me into your healing process- I have not lost one day of work- I take no medications- I play tennis without my back support girdle- and believe it or not I was 75 years old on 5/20/2001!
My gratitude to you, M.G.
I have been migraine-free for 2 months now! For the first time in over 10 years. I feel so much stronger, clearer, confident and peaceful- I am even feeling taller. Not to mention that my clothes fit better and I am losing weight!
Peace and brightest blessings- G.M.
I started Network when I graduated from college, exhausted, run down. I don't think about symptoms anymore, in fact I don't think much at all. Life flows for me, actually Life flows and I now feel part of it. Funny, I've been doing this for 3 years, almost 4, and I feel like I've just begun!
Scott is fantastic. I've seen practitioners all over the country… Vermont, D.C., New York, Arizona, San Francisco… and I have been very, very impressed with Scott. He continues to learn and grow!
You'll know if you're ready for this work. Just let go and get ready for the ride of a lifetime. There are no limits to what this work can do for your life!
Congratulations on finding Scott. It's a testament to who you already are.

I've spent my whole life reacting to stress and upsets by feeling afraid of what was happening and by projecting my fear into the future, imagining the worst. It was just a mental glitch I couldn't shake, no matter how many years I've spent meditating. I've been a patient of yours for only two months now and I'm so pleased to report that over the past few weeks I've found myself growing more and more calm, even through the upsets that are part of my life. I still have an initial reaction of stress but it subsides within minutes and gives way to a calm knowing that whatever is going wrong in the moment will be resolved and I don't have to be afraid of it. This feels so wonderful!
Thanks, A.A.

I've always thought, "I have this body and I have to exercise it." Yesterday I realized how separately I've always treated my body from my mind. Since you began adjusting me about 2 weeks ago, I've been exercising more vigorously than ever. Then I understood why. For the first time, my body and mind are one. I can say, "I am exercising" now.

Over the past 60 to 90 days, with your treatments, I have noticed that I have more energy, all day, in all aspects of daily life!
Additionally, I swim 3 to 6 days a week for health and exercise. During this same 60 to 90 day period, I've found that I have more energy and power in the water. I swim further, longer, and with more power- effortlessly. I don't tire. It is wonderful. It all fits together so wonderfully. Thank you, Scott.
P.R.
Since coming to Scott's office and experiencing Network Chiropractic I have been able to increase the amount of aerobic exercise, have had more energy and have been sleeping less. I also feel stronger, especially in my legs and spine!
Thanks, Scott. B.B.
Thank you so very much for making a huge difference in my life! You are fabulous and have never let me down. You always know exactly what my body needs to move toward better health and well-being- which always brightens and lightens my spirit, which allows me to go out into the world and shine!
All my thanks and love, Cecilia
Before we started care here, we were talking about putting Irwin in a wheelchair for mobility. And after 2 ½ months of care, walking has improved a great deal, and his ability to talk has improved. His attitude about himself is beginning to improve.

What a wonderful thing! I feel great! Life in our family is peaceful- since bringing my kids and myself- only 2 months- and the change is strong enough to taste! My daughter is a joy to live with- again- something I thought was lost.
Thank you, Scott- B.S.
For the first time in 6 months I have been able to lie down and simply be still and relax and feel at peace.
J.M.R.
I have been coming here for over 3 years. In that time my health and my life have undergone an amazing change. I cannot believe it!
I don't get sick anymore. My whole family also comes. Thanks very much for all of your healing, all your knowledge, and all of your love.
Love, M.H.
Not only a happy birthday to you, but a happy birthday to me! After years of quick-fix chiropractic work with only temporary relief, my body has finally found its milieu with you and Network. I still would not call what we're doing here "chiropractic" because it encompasses so much more than conventional adjustments do- I'm alive physically, spiritually, emotionally and mentally!
Great stuff! Yours in Light, Andrea
I brought my 3-week old daughter Rachel Beth, for her first adjustment. She responded beautifully! She was just waking up and a little fussy. After her adjustment, she relaxed right away and seemed very peaceful and at ease. What a lucky girl to have this experience so early in life. She's off to a great start- thanks!

On Friday I was hit by a tractor-trailer truck who was trying to pass me in a snowstorm on the Mass. Turnpike. I walked away, not only alive, but with no injuries. Everybody who witnessed it said I should have been dead. I want you to know it's because my nervous system and spine were so flexible that my adrenaline just shot up and I just went with it. I was able to - each time I hit the guardrail and each time I hit the truck. I hit the truck twice, the guardrail twice. I was able to flow with it and I know it's because my spine is so clear. So I just wanted to let you know that.

After 18 years in pain I've been here since January 2000. Pain isn't here anymore. This Saturday I worked on building a deck. Hit some tennis balls on Sunday and continued building the deck on Monday. Unbelievably there is no muscle or back or buttocks tension or pain. 18 years earlier I was in "better" shape, but would have felt pain after a weekend like this.
Super super. R.L.
As a yoga teacher/therapist/dancer I've worked extensively with movements of the spine, integrated with breath. In the past 6 weeks since I've been coming here, my spine has opened up so much more- into fluidity, grace and comfort. This past week I feel the wave extends in 2 directions, up and down as I breathe- expanding me, massaging me!
I feel as though my body finally has its own momentum expressing my life energy. It's wonderful!!
Thank you! S.W.
2 weeks ago and this week I felt my soul moving.
Calvin [9 years old]
I want to thank you for energy- I now feel spinal integrity when I work playing the violin- I no longer feel like I am blowing fuses while I work!
Thank you, M.B.
Thanks to your gentle ministrations and kind words, my life has greatly improved. Today while doing my exercises it occurred to me that I'm now living in my body. I would have never said that before; I would never really have known what the words mean. Only now do I realize that that is a necessary objective of Life!
A million thanks, Robert
I was very happy Saturday night. I went to a wedding and since October 1998 I could not dance. But God bless, Dr. Scott Simerman made me well and I danced at the wedding like before I got sick. Scott is the best. I love him!
I wish Scott the best, Philip
How amazing this work is, came to the forefront when my husband passed out in front of me, oozing blood from his nose. He looked dead, but thank God in a few moments came to consciousness as I was on the phone dialing 911. I handled him and this situation with a focus and calmness I've not had previously. This is a gift and I am grateful.

Last year on Rosh A Shanna, I offered myself Network Chiropractic work with Scott Simerman. It was a New Year's gift to myself. It turned out to be much more than a gift- it turned out to be a treasure, an awakening, the beginning of a journey on a new path where old beliefs and attitudes were left behind. It is the best gift I have ever given myself and it is forever.
Thank you, Scott. Love, B.J.
Aware of emotional issues to be resolved, not gaining any clarity, I sought out Network and Scott for the release of blockages in my system. Through Network treatment, I experienced certain physical resistance. This manifested in some right leg 'shortness' and a clamping down and constriction of muscles in the right leg. Upon my third week of treatment, the leg was in discomfort!
My most recent treatment on 4/20 gave me the most release, blockages opened up and within 24 hours the pain was gone, the emotional issues were more easily dealt with through communication with 'clarity.' Information now flows more freely through my system (chakras) and- Bottom Line- I feel better! Thank you, Scott, for knowing what to do and how to do it! I am now more animated and in tune with my energies, instead of resisting them!
Very truly yours, Dawn
My visit with you on Wednesday was a real blessing. I entered in an agitated state- I was worried, nervous and grumpy. After you touched me a few times, one in particular, I was lifted up into a higher consciousness, and my worries left me. I was filled with joy!
Then, when you later touched my heart area, I senses a light turned on inside of me. When I asked you what you saw, you said you saw my heart alighted.
My whole consciousness was altered by my visit with you. I have tried to remain in this state of peace.
Blessings, H.P.
