DR JOHN EDWARDS
Pregnancy, Chiropractic and the Sixth Sense.
During this course attendees will be introduced to the neurological concepts of polyvagal theory (Stephen Porges) including the foundational concepts of how brain wave signaling changes during development and heart rate variability (HRV). These will be applied to build a hypothesis on developing intuition during the pregnancy period and chiropractic’s role in modulating that sense. One factor that disrupts the polyvagal ladder is trauma, and we will explore the impact of a natural disaster on the neurology of pregnant women and the children who survive it.
