  Speaker 1: Time now for back to the basics and healthcare with
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Balanced Life Chiropractic, and we have doctor Harley with us.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Hello, doctor Harley, Hey John.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: We're going to talk today about what you do. So
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: I think of the movie Office Space. Have you seen
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: the movie Office Space? Movie it's from the nineties, but
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: there's the bobs and he's like, so what do you
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: do here? And they had to kind of explain what
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: they do? And that's I feel like I'm one of
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: the bobs right now asking you, so what do you
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: do here? But the good news is I think you
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: can explain it well because you in addition to being
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: a chiropractic, you're almost kind of a teacher as well.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: You do a really good job of explaining what you do.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: And that's what we kind of want to talk about
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: today because you know, we come in, we lay down
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: on this little table here that's kind of a fancy
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: little place from my face and my feet hang off
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: the end, and then you just do your magic. But
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: it's not magic, it's it's it's done in such a
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: way that it feels like it. But let's talk about
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: what you do.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: There is science behind it, yeah, there is, and no
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: I have not seen that movie.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Well, you got to see it.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: It's good. Yeah. I mean we talk about this kind
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: of stuff every week. We're always kind of breaking down
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: some of the ins and outs of you complaints that
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: people have talking about our office. And then at the
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: end of the day it's like, well, we're adjusting people,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: and some people might be listening like what does an
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: adjustment do? Like what's the point of it?
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Ryh, why do we do these adjustment things? Right?
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: So, we talk a lot about our spine. We talk
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: a lot about our nervous system because they're very interconnected,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: because our nerves branch out from our spine, and our
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: spine keeps us upright, keeps this mobile, protects that nervous system.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: But due to our day to day activity, stress, life,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: you name it, those spinal bones can actually shift and
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: move out of alignment, and then the muscles get involved
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: and they get really tight and they kind of hold
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: it there. So then it starts putting more pressure on
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: the nerves that run through between the bones. Well, when
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: we have a hard tissue pressing on a soft tissue,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: that soft tissue is not gonna be happy about it.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: They get really irritated and inflamed. So it's chiropractors. We're
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: analyzing your spine to figure out, Okay, where's it not moving,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: where is the bone out of alignment that it's irritating
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: that nerve. So when we deliver those adjustments for putting
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: a gentle pressure in a very specific line of drive,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: working to take that bone off the nerve and put
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: it back into its proper space so that way it
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: is moving like it's supposed to, not irritating the nerve,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: and the muscle start to actually move equally like they're
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: supposed to side to side.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: And our spine is made up of a bunch of
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: different pieces that are all connected, and any one of
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: those little pieces could be out of adjustment, and then
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: that causes problems with other places as well.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Right, I always think of misalignments kind of like like roadblocks.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: You know, the more roadblocks you have on the highway,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: the more you have to move and shift around them,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: the slower flow traffic is. It can cause build up
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: block ups and kind of the same thing happens with
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: our spinal core when we have those misalignments, because it's
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: like a giant highway with all of that information passed
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: between the brain and the body. So wherever those mis
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: alignments happen, it's going to slow down that information transport
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: and we don't want that, you know, you know, think
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: about movement wise. You don't even have to think about it.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: It just happens. So if we can speed up that
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: connection or fix the connection issue, it's only going to help.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: It's going to help with how your body is healing functioning,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: and when that's happening better, you're going to start feeling
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: better and stay feeling better too.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. And now think about if you're back. You know,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: you got all these little pieces of your spine that
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: are all connected there that think about it this way.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: If it's like a piano, all the different strings on
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: a piano and they're hitting the keys to make them,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: but if they're out of a tune, even if you've
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: got an amazing pianist and they're doing a great job
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: trying to play a beautiful song, if everything's out of tune,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: it's not going to sound great. So you know, if
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: you have your back kind of out of tune, you
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: could be out there doing your thing and you're going
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: to be in pain and you're it's not going to
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: feel as good. And that's where you're kind of like
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: a piano tuner for.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: People in a way. You know, John, You've learned some
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: things over the years. That was a good analogy.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I pay attention. I know what you're talking about here.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, we kind of lie to ourselves and
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: it's like, oh, pain is fine, pain is weak, you're
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: leaving the.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Body, right, walk it off, You'll be fine.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: I don't remember what movie that was from, but you know,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: I remember like random quotes. It was not from Office Space,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: I know that, right, But like we just kind of
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: tell ourselves like, oh, it's fine, I'll do with it later. Well,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: eventually later is going to come calling, and by that
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: point it's a lot harder to correct and work on
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: the issue versus when we have those smaller aches and
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: pains early on, much easier, you know, cauld adjust it.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Things are going to be moving better and be functioning better.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: We're going to age better as well, feel better. I
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: hear that a lot of people like, oh, I'm just old. Well,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: think about it. If you started doing stuff ten years ago,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: a long twenty years ago, you would probably be doing
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: a little bit better than you are now. So it's
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: not so much the age. It's the wear and tear
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: and then you got.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Older well and if you would like to get a
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: tune up and have it so you're making beautiful music
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: once again with your back. What is the best way
