My First Upper Cervical Correction

Hey, Hey! My name is Laurie and I’m the Nurse Coach here at Upper Cervical Chiropractic of Tulsa. I’m sitting here remembering my early visits to the office and how my body was so depleted and my neurological system was so weak and disconnected. After received my first correction from Dr. Opal the room started spinning for a few moments. She allowed me to rest in their resting area before I left and I remember the next day I was so sore and ‘off’. My legs were like butter and I couldn’t walk very far without having to sit down. It was scary because, at the time, I didn’t understand what was going on. My fear came flooding in and I just knew something bad had happened and that something was terribly wrong. I felt lead to keep my appointments and just keep going and eventually, the symptoms calmed down and my fears were alleviated. Dr. Opal would pray over me during every correction and she would reassure me that my body was healing. This was 5 years ago, and today I can look back and see how my neurological system was trying to repair itself. How oxygen was flooding into areas that had been depleted and how my brain and nervous system were reconnecting. Along this journey, we discovered that I had a high viral load and it was attacking my nervous system. I will discuss this in more detail in my next blog (July 2021). Some of the things I have been incorporating to facilitate my healing are natural whole foods and taking out the foods that nourish the viruses. I keep my regular upper cervical appts. and have done some emotional healing as well. I have recovered from multiple symptoms and I am well on my way to complete recovery. woohoo!
