Today Dr Woggon taped the entire procedure including the adjustment and exercises to send to my chiroprator in LA. They really are dedicated to making sure they get it right.
I read an article written by him today about the spine as it grows and how important it is to maintain the natural curves of the neck in our daily activities and when we sleep. When we are in the womb we do not fully have those curves developed because we are not dealing with gravity. As soon as we are born, we need the curves to develop resistance against gravity and so the development of the proper spinal curves occur. I realised that crawling is an important part of the process and then remembered that I never did crawl which could mean I missed out on a vital part of the process of my spines development. The chiropractor mentioned that alot of scoliosis patients say they didn't crawl.
I also now realise just how important it is to get the right amount of sleep. When I went to bed last night I couldn't see the changes from yesterday until I woke up this morning. And now I realise its because during sleep, the nervous system has time to do what it needs to do to and it kicks in to do the healing that it doesnt have time to do when you are awake. This is when the cells regenerate and its why it is so important to get enough hours in (especially during the 2 week process). And twice as important to maintain the curves in the neck while doing so by sleeping on the back with proper neck and back support. Sleeping on the back is the most comforting to the nervous system.
i feel like I'm fitting together the pieces about how and why my spine is the way that it is, and I now feel like this is a gift, to learn more than I new before, wherever that takes me.
