Long over-due update
Well, it has been about a year since my last update. My apologies for waiting so long to post. There are a few reasons that it has been so long – the first, and really the biggest reason, is that there has been nothing much to talk about. I haven’t done any x-rays in a long time, I have been doing a good job of keeping up with my exercises, and haven’t noticed any big changes (some soreness around my shoulder-blades that kind of shifts around and that sort of thing, but nothing too extreme). My adjustments have been staying in pretty well, and I’m still seeing my chiropractor about once a month. So, yes, things regarding my scoliosis have been pretty boring. I will certainly post more when there is anything more to tell!
The second reason that I haven’t posted for so long is that school stuff has been very busy. I graduated! I am now officially finished with my undergraduate career. I made it through finals and everything, graduating with B.A. in sociology and psychology. So that has been great! I am hoping that with a little less stress in my everyday life my spine will flourish and straighten up!
That about sums up my year – it was boring, and then I graduated. I will write more when I have anything else to add.
so, you didn’t take x-rays for 2 years?
usually chiropractors taking them
after 3-6 months after starting their work.
do you know what is value of your scoliosis curvature now?
by the way practicing Tai Chi also very useful,
thera are many DVDs for beginners
which you can buy or borrow.
No, I haven’t done x-rays in a long while. There are two main reasons for this:
1. My chiropractor has been waiting for one particular adjustment to stay put for longer than a month or two, because until this happens he feels like there won’t be much visible change. Also, he has been keeping an eye on me and feels like there have been no negative changes, but that I’ve only stayed the same or had minor improvements.
2. Perhaps more importantly, I don’t have insurance so I am cutting corners in a few ways, and one of those ways has been to avoid x-rays that my chiropractor and I agree are unnecessary.
As far as Tai Chi, I have never tried it, but have tried similar energy/body work such as QiGong and really enjoyed those practices. I am sure that one of these days I will get around to trying Tai Chi!
