  Speaker 1: the difference between therapists and doctors and chiropractic. So let's
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: focus on chiropractic since that's what you do here at
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Balance Life Chiropractic. And what should people expect if they've
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: never been to a chiropractor but they come in and say, hey,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: I want to start working with you for my chiropractic care,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: what is that whole process?
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Like, yeah, that is a great question, and maybe that
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: is what keeps you from seeing a chiropractor. They just
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: always see these YouTube videos or I hear horror stories
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: about some of the bad stuff that can happen. You know,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: a lot of those cases are you know, something with
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: already happening with the patient and the it got missed
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: for whatever reason. You know, we chiropractors are well trained
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: and being able to identify any sort of complications and
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: you know, stopping treatment or not giving treatment. So you know,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: when you first come into our office, we're gonna do
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: a thorough health history. You're gonna fill out some paperwork
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: so you can identify, you know, what's going on with you,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: and that kind of helps us, like are there any
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: red flags maybe, like you know, if we need to
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: prefer you somewhere else, so is it. We're well trained
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: to identify those things. You're in good hands. And then
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: we'll sit down and you know, walk you through you know,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: your health history, ask additional questions, do some exams, you know,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: make sure that you know you're safe to be adjusted
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: and that you know this is going to be a
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: good treatment for you. And we'll talk a little bit
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: more about just you know, what is chiropractic, what to
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: expect with getting adjusted. You know, some of the positive
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: and maybe some of the not so great side effects
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: post adjustment that you could experience. So in our office especially,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: we're really taking the time to get to know you
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: and that you get the time ticket to know us
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: and ask your questions so that you're comfortable with being
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: seen for care and that we're going to help you
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: with your health problems.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I love it the way you guys do it because
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: it's you know, you don't just dive right in and
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: do things. You find out how can we fix this first.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: That's like if I go to the mechanic and I
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: don't tell them what's wrong, they just start guessing and
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: fix whatever they think might be wrong with the car. No,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: what they do is they first to ask me and
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I tell them, here's what I think it is. But
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: then they might do a diagnostic to find out what's
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: really going on because I don't know that that's it,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: And once they narrow it down to here's what the
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: problem is, then they fix that problem instead of fixing
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: every other little problem that they think they might have had,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: but it didn't really fix the problem. So I love
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: the fact that you guys do it the way that
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: you do it.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: You can kind of think of chiropractors kind of like
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: a body mechanic. You know, we're trying to figure out
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: what's the problem and what do we need to do
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: to work on correcting them. We never want to guess
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: with you or your family's health, so we use some technology.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: We have a nerve scan, a muscle assessment, and then
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: we also take extrays as well, and using all of
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: that gives us a bigger picture of what the underlying
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: cause of your problem really is and that we were
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: addressing that real issue.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: It's like plugging the car end to see what what
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: error codes come up, and then we'll fix those things.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: And you do the same kind of thing here.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, nothing's plugged into you. What means the nerve
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: skin is kind of like a giant thermometer. It just
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: reads the temperature changes along your spine. The other ones
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: a muscle assessment that reads your muscle out. It's cold, unfortunately,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: you know, because we're we're running these tests on your
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: bare skin, it is a little bit colder.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: So yeah, be prepared for it to be cold. But
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: you know what the cool thing is, it's refreshing too,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: So come in on a hot day. So if somebody
