  Speaker 2: Hello, doctor Harley.
• 0:05
  Speaker 3: Hey, how's it going?
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Very good? This is one of those for some people
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: a short week because you know, Monday, with Memorial Day,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: they had the day off, so then they come to
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: work on Tuesday and it feels like a Monday, and
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: today kind of feels like a Tuesday. But the good
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: news is we'll be back on track. And it's kind
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: of the unofficial kickoff to the summer, isn't it.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's usually how Memorial weekend is. It's the unofficial
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: you know, summer cookouts and all that. Yeah, so I'm
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: on a short week this week as well.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: It's crazy. It's like, yeah, tomorrow's my last day in
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: the week already.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: And we're going to talk today about pain, which you know,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: again that's that's never something fun to talk about, but
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: it's important to talk about, right.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: You know, we always seem to have something going on,
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: little aches and pains here. Maybe sometimes they become big pains,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: but there's different types of pain, and we'll look at
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: what is someone's asking, like, you know, this hurts, what's
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: going on why is this hurting?
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: What can I be doing? So talking about that and so.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: Kind of the most common pains I think people really
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: really notice is like muscular pain. It's kind of like
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: achy or sore.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: You know, if you were just working out yesterday or
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: if you were in the garden all weekend and you're
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: feeling that, you know, that's probably what's going on. Is
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: you've work those muscles a little bit more than what
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: they're used to, so they're gonna be a little.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: Sore, achey, stiff.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Those are kind of more what we associate with more
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: of the muscle side of things, or just feeling tight.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: And that's where like, you know, heat's really good for
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: muscles when they're really tight, and like that's so taking
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: a hot shower or a hot bath, you would like
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: throwing some ebbs and salt in there, stretching, all those
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: things are really good that.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Are gonna help with the muscle aches and pains.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Obviously, if this is happening a lot where you're it
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: doesn't seem like you're hardly doing anything, it could be
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: that your muscles are working too hard or they're overworking
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: because something somewhere else is not working, like.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: It's supposed to.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: So that's what it's a good idea to go see
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: a chiropractor. Things aren't moving, Your joints aren't moving as
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: efficient as as they should, and that's gonna cause your
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: muscles to have to work harder and be more sore, achey, stiff.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: So that's a good time to see a chiropractor.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: And what we're talking about pain. Sometimes we feel the
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: pain in one place, but the cause of the pain
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: is far far away and we don't even realize. Oh,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: but it hurts here. Yeah, it hurts here because you're
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: shifted this way and all of these things that need
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: to be fixed in order for that one little pain
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: that in the one little spot.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: To go away.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we talked about compensating pain.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Our body is very biomechanically mechanically sound, is very efficient,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: and so when one area is not working like it's
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: supposed to, it's going to put stress and strain on
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: the areas around that spot, and that's where you're probably
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: going to notice the pain more. I think of like knees,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: for example, The problem might not actually be your knee.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: It could be that your hips are out of alignment
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: and your hips aren't moving very well, and that's putting
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: more work on your knee, and that's causing your knee
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: to break down and start having those issues. So sometimes
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: a simple air quote simple fix for knee pain is,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: you know work is getting your hips adjusted.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: And I remember hearing from a chiropractor thirty years ago
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: to not put my wallet in my back pocket. And
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I remember thinking that was a crazy thing that I
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: ever heard of, because I always put my wallet back here.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: But he's talking about siatic nerves and issues that people have.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: So then when you're sitting, you're up higher, and then
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: you have your back twisted a little. So now in
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: my pocket right up front, that's where I've got my
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: wallet all the time. I can't believe what a difference
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: something as simple as moving your wallet makes, right, Yeah.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: It's sometimes it seems like such simple fixes.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: But even if you have one hundred dollar bills or
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: one dollar bills in that wallet, thicker thin, even that
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: little bit of you know, height difference is.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Going to throw your hips off.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I'm just filled with coupons, you.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Know, whatever it takes, whatever is in your wallet, yeah,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: make sure to if you're sitting, take it out of
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: your back pocket because that's going to affect your hips.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: And it also where that wallet sits in your back
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: pocket is going to run right over the par offormance muscle,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: which if you've ever had said a cut, you've gone
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: to somebody like, oh, your paraformance.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Muscles really tight.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that guy sits right over top of that
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: siatic nerve that runs down your backside, and so that
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: wallet's gonna put pressure right into that par offormous muscle.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: So, I guess what we're talking about today with pain.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: If you're feeling a pain in one place, it might
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: actually be from a pain from somewhere else that maybe
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: you're not feeling as much. But this is a good
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: question to ask your chiropractor, And if you don't have one,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I encourage it to ask this chiropractor, doctor Harley, how
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: do they get in touch with you.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're having aches or pains, it's never a
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: good idea just to ignore it and be like, oh,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be fine, it's gonna go.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Away, I'm gonna walk it off.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Well, that simple problem that you're having now that could
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: be an easy fix, is gonna start getting worse as
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: we get older.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Unfortunately, people we don't get younger.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: As we age, things start breaking down faster, so it's
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: important to go and do things about it now versus
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: wait for it to get worse. So it's a good
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: time to start seeing a chiropractor when you start having
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: those aches and pains, so you can.
