Pieces to the Neurosensory Puzzle

     Before beginning the Neurosensory Program, Caleb underwent a series of tests and screenings to determine the best course of action for going forward.  Spinal scans and x-rays helped to pinpoint exact areas along the spine that would need to be adjusted in order for the line of communication to be open between his brain and body.  The dietary changes and exercises won't be fully effective if there is interference to the central nervous system.  In addition, it was recommended that all gluten and dairy be removed from Caleb's diet.  Both can cause a significant inflammatory response, so in order for the brain and body to heal and function fully, it's important to keep away from triggers to inflammation.  For a child that is a picky eater already, this could potentially present a new challenge, but it's one that we're ready to accept!  As far as the third aspect to the program, Caleb was given a series of specific exercises to do at home.  These exercises are designed to allow for proper development of the neuropathways needed for learning, communication and movement.  Each exercise was explained and modeled FOR him and WITH him.

     When we first prepared to do these at-home exercises, Caleb touted the ease with which he expected to do them.  "How hard can this be?"  Well, since they're designed to correct something that has been out of sync for who knows how long, I had a feeling that he was about to meet an obstacle that he would have to learn to overcome.  Tears filled his eyes as he realized his body wasn't as easily cooperating as he was expecting.  He was quickly frustrated and exhausted, but persevered.  Hard work is good.  When you know it's going to produce desired and positive results, it's even better.  He's a champ and fighter.  He'll get there....I have no doubt.  Onward and upward!
