  Time now for back to the Basics and healthcare with Balanced Life Chiropractic, and
• 0:03
  we have doctor Harley joining us. Hey you know doctor Harley. Hey John,
• 0:06
  I am doing fantastic. Another beautiful day. Yeah, we just got
• 0:11
  through Father's Day weekend. A lot of folks probably out doing all kinds of
• 0:14
  fun stuff for that. So do you get some folks that come in that
• 0:17
  maybe overdid it a little bit, trying to still be a kid, Yeah,
• 0:21
  definitely. Or it's like current patients are like, oh, yeah,
• 0:25
  my back hurts today, and I'm like, oh, what'd you do?
• 0:26
  They're like, oh, I might overdone it over the weekend. Yeah,
• 0:30
  typically be of the mail yeah side. We make bad choices all the time,
• 0:35
  Right, It's just one of the things we do. If we didn't
• 0:37
  make bad choices, we wouldn't make choices. Your wiveses have nothing to talk
• 0:41
  about. Yeah, So what are some of the common things that we maybe
• 0:45
  overdo and maybe do a little too much exertion on ourselves this time of year?
• 0:50
  The typical complaint I get from you know, men, dads, you
• 0:54
  know, athletes, students, you know what men usually are complaining of low
• 0:59
  back pain? Oh yeah, a pretty common one. I can see that,
• 1:02
  and that's probably something that's common because just about everything I do, it
• 1:06
  seems like that I use, I use my lower back even when I'm just
• 1:07
  like sitting down doing nothing, because you get sore backs from not using it,
• 1:11
  you get sore backs from using it, you get sore backs from right
• 1:15
  right. And it seems like men tend to carry their stress in their low
• 1:19
  back or women tend to carry it more in their neck in their shoulders,
• 1:22
  so women tend to have a little more neck shoulder pain. And yeah,
• 1:25
  men are typically more low back, and they're usually the ones that are more
• 1:27
  likely to have, you know, back surgeries or arthritis and they're lower back.
• 1:33
  You know, that's pretty common as well. So what are some things
• 1:37
  that the average person can do to try to avoid those big problems? Because
• 1:41
  we don't want to go down that path, but I suppose chiropractic care would
• 1:45
  be something you could do to kind of help get away from that, right
• 1:47
  as I say, chiropractic care, of course, yeah, yeah, chiropractic
• 1:49
  we're going to help make sure things are moving like they should. You know,
• 1:53
  we have thirty three segments in our spine and there's five big lumbar vertebrae
• 1:57
  in our low back. Yeah, those guys are carrying the brunt of all
• 2:01
  our upper body weight, you know, all our twisting movement, especially down
• 2:05
  into our hips walking. That's putting a lot of compressive load on those joints.
• 2:09
  So those are going to be the guys that are most likely to start
• 2:13
  to deteriorate and become arthritic as we get older because they're putting their going through
• 2:17
  so much stress and strain. So is there I suppose ideally this would be
• 2:24
  something you do lifelong, so from the time you're a little kid, But
• 2:28
  is there a time that maybe it's still Is it ever too late to start
• 2:31
  adding chiropractic here? Probably? And ever too late? Isn't. No,
• 2:34
  it's never too late. I mean, it's definitely easier in the early stages
• 2:38
  of when you know, dis disease or degenerator anything like that is happening.
• 2:44
  You know, it's much easier to take care problems early on, like as
• 2:46
  kids, teenagers, because the body's still very you know, to help out
• 2:50
  white things. Yeah, right, prevention is much much easier than trying to
• 2:53
  fix problems after the fact. But even someone that is ninety nine years old
• 2:58
  and they're you know, retire, they're living in a nursing home, even
• 3:00
  they can still benefit from chiropractic care because we're gonna help those areas to move
• 3:06
  better. I look at arthritis kind of like a rusty gait. You know,
• 3:08
  if you don't use that gait, the rust is going to just get
• 3:12
  worse and worse and worse and worse and worse. Right, But the more
• 3:15
  you're using it and oiling it and trying to maintain it, it's gonna last
• 3:19
  much much longer. You're gonna have less rust build up. And even if
• 3:22
  they already is rust there, Yeah, we can keep it from getting worse.
• 3:25
  And by using it, I suppose that makes the stuff that's they're a
• 3:29
  little bit better anyway. It helps break it down. And so if I've
• 3:31
  got some soreness in my lower back because i haven't been seeing a chiropractor,
• 3:36
  by coming in and getting adjusted and getting things back where they're supposed to be,
• 3:38
  that probably helps. That's going to take a lot of the stress off
• 3:42
  of that. The muscles are going to calm down, because if your spine's
• 3:45
  not moving, your muscles have to work harder and work more. They get
• 3:49
  more tired, they're gonna be tight sharp age, making it more likely to
• 3:53
  strain something or pull something. So when everything is moving like it should,
• 3:58
  there's less stress and strain on the entire system. Nice. So that's kind
• 4:00
  of what chiropractic does in a nutshell, is making sure that your body is
• 4:04
  moving and those areas that are stuck, adjusting them, getting them back to
• 4:09
  moving, taking the tension stress off the rest of it. If somebody listening
• 4:13
