Neuro Emotional Technique
Dr. Hoeper uses Neuro Emotional Technique in Pittsburgh to treat stress responses that are connected to physiological responses in your body.
At NutriFarmacy, Dr. Hunter Hoeper integrates the Neuro-Emotional Technique (NET) into his holistic and frequency-based chiropractic practice to help patients release unresolved emotional stress that may be influencing their physical and mental health. NET recognizes that emotions, when not fully processed, can store as tension or interference within the nervous system—contributing to chronic pain, fatigue, anxiety, or even organ dysfunction.

The Origin of NET
Neuro-Emotional Technique was developed by Dr. Scott Walker, who discovered that patients recovering from motor vehicle accidents experienced faster and more complete healing when emotional memories of the event were addressed during chiropractic treatment. Building on this observation, Dr. Walker created a structured method that blends chiropractic principles, muscle testing and acupressure to identify and clear emotional blockages within the body.
How NET Works
During a Neuro-Emotional Technique session, Dr. Hoeper uses manual muscle testing to identify emotional stress patterns linked to specific physical symptoms. Once identified, gentle stimulation of key acupressure points and guided awareness help release these stored emotional responses, allowing the nervous system to reset and heal.
This approach doesn’t require reliving past trauma or extensive emotional processing—it simply helps the body let go of patterns that no longer serve its health and coherence.
