Neuralmodulation Therapy

I've seen some weird things in my life, and you'd think that anything with the word "neuro" wouldn't surprise me, after my neurological "issue," but this was good. My first introduction to neuromodulation therapy came from my Aunt Lindsey, who told me that it's a doctor who "talks to your hand," and that "its definitely worth seeing," as she had gone with my Mom to her neuromodulation therapy appointment. So, today, I went with my Mom to her appointment to check it out. I asked the doctor to "show me what you've got" and the appointment got underway.

Here is the process. The patient puts their arm up on the table, kind of like they're ready to arm wrestle the doctor, and the doctor put his or her (in the case, his) hand over the patients fist (I tried to find a picture but I couldn't; I should have just asked the Dr. to smile!). Then, the doctor opens this extensive, huge binder to a certain page and starts to read from it SUPER fast and kind of under his breath. So sometimes you just get a certain word, like "restore" or "amygadala" or "allegry." Then, apparently (I wouldn't know- I couldn't heard nor understand it!), the doctor asks a question like "do we see cellular restoration?" and then he pulls down on the patients hand. But keep in mind that NO one hears the question nor knows how to answer it. If the hand has some give and goes down a little bit, then the answer is "yes." If not, then it's "no." And this goes on and the doctor figures out what the problem is, and in some cases, cures that issue. And every few minutes the doctor turns the patient around and uses this little gadget to "stimulate" the fluids in the spine, so a more proper reading can be found. I found a picture of this! This is not my Mom, in case you didn't know, and this is not her doctor either. But here is the spinal fluid stimulator.


Yeah, fun stuff. I'm not too sure about that. But my Mom swears by it. Maybe there is some truth?

While we're on this topic, let me tell you about "cranial sacral massage." My Mom wanted me to try this just a little after I left the hospital. After much convincing and pleading, I agreed to give it a try. I figured "hey, at least there is a massage involved." How wrong was I. No massaging, just a hand placed right by your body. Now I have a picture of this that google images helped me with!

Clearly, not me nor my doctor. And they sense some energy that your body is giving off. She told me all the ways she could help me, but I just never went back. I told my Mom no.

Holistic medicine I just can't seem to wrap my head around. Is it because my head isn't quite right, or is that part of my cognition normal?!
