  Time out or back to the basics in healthcare with Balance Life Chiropractic. We
• 0:03
  have doctor Harley joining us. How you doing, doctor Harley? Hey John,
• 0:06
  I'm doing great. I can't believe we're halfway through October already. What
• 0:08
  I know, it's crazy. It's going to fall. Is going so fast.
• 0:11
  As somebody was telling me that we're only however many weeks till Christmas.
• 0:14
  I'm like, you shut your dirty mouse. I am not ready for that
• 0:17
  at all. And according to all the shopping places, it's already Christmas.
• 0:21
  Yeah, and I see people putting up Christmas lights. I'm like, we
• 0:23
  haven't even had we haven't had Halloween yet. So let's just pump the brakes
• 0:27
  a bit, right. But today, let's chat a little bit about chiropractic.
• 0:30
  We talked a little bit last week about this, but for people who
• 0:33
  are maybe unfamiliar with how chiropractic works, it's not a magic pill. It's
• 0:38
  not a magic potion, but it sometimes it seems like magic because I'll come
• 0:42
  in feeling horrible and then you adjust me, and all of a sudden,
• 0:45
  I'm like, hey, that feels better, like a lot better. Yeah.
• 0:48
  I mean a lot of people kind of have that opinion of it.
• 0:51
  Well, we're talking about chiropractic more in depth because it is National Chiropractic Months.
• 0:54
  So it's so it's like we're in October. Still, it's not Christmas.
• 0:57
  It's last time I checked, it was still October. Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:00
  A lot of people, you know, they've been to a chiropractor,
• 1:03
  or they haven't and they want to, or they're maybe scared of going to
• 1:06
  the chiropractor. Because there's definitely some people out there, especially if you watch
• 1:08
  some of those YouTube videos, I don't recommend it. It's I don't like
• 1:11
  watching them because it's not really what's going on. It's chiropractic adjustments are a
• 1:17
  lot more gentle than some of the ones you've probably watched. Well in some
• 1:21
  of that, I almost wonder if that's just like for shock value. They're
• 1:23
  like, oh, hey, look at this and listen to these cracks and
• 1:26
  all this, and that's not what everybody's looking for, is it? Not?
• 1:29
  Always? No, there's there's definitely some people that really want the crunchy
• 1:32
  cracking, and then there's others that they want more of a gentle, you
• 1:34
  know, kind of relaxing adjustment. I like the gentle and I like the
• 1:38
  way you do it. It seems very controlled and there's a lot of technology
• 1:42
  involved. I mean, it's not like you're just guessing and popping and cracking,
• 1:45
  right, and there's not guessing like we're trying to figure out where to
• 1:49
  adjust. But sometimes we do adjust a little bit too much, especially things
• 1:52
  feel a little more stiff. But really what we're trying to do is we're
• 1:55
  looking at where your spine is not moving, where it's stuck at. You
• 1:57
  know, if we're doing a manual style adjusting, we're delivering a force with
• 2:00
  our hands or our body to adjust that area to get it to move.
• 2:05
  And a lot of times you do hear a pop or a crack, and
• 2:07
  it's not the bones. The bones aren't cracking, don't worry. It's that
• 2:09
  there's gas bubbles that build up between those stuck joints. You know, things
• 2:14
  aren't moving very well, pressure builds up, and then we adjust it.
• 2:17
  It's releasing that pressure and you hear that pop or that snap. It's kind
• 2:21
  of if you crack your knuckles. It's the same thing. Gas bubbles are
• 2:23
  building up and then the movement releases that gas bubble. Nice, so next
• 2:28
  time you're you're popping on my back and I hear the crack. That's what
• 2:31
  is gas bubbles. I don't know, John, what kind of gas bubbles
• 2:34
  are. You're releasings, that's what I was good at. Says, Hey,
• 2:38
  that's actually I was gonna say, but I thought I'll be I'll be
• 2:40
  nice. I'm glad that you went there. It happens. I've had some
• 2:44
  patiences and they're like, oh, where's up. So sorry, Like it's
• 2:46
  okay, it's okay, Doc. It was just gas bubbles, right right,
• 2:50
  It's fine, different kind of gas bubbles. Yeah, my dad was
• 2:53
  the first one to do that, so I wasn't surprised, but that is
• 2:57
  hilarious. So now for people who maybe are unfamiliar and when they come in,
• 3:02
  one of the things I want to let let them know is it's not
• 3:06
  like you just walk in and they throw it on a table and start doing
• 3:07
  stuff. You guys have a really nice process to get people started. I
• 3:10
  think we should talk a little bit about that. Yeah, I mean,
• 3:13
  especially if you're new to our office, we don't know you, we don't
• 3:15
  know what's going on. So especially for insurance purposes, you know, you
• 3:17
  have a lot of paperwork to fill out, We do a thorough health history.
• 3:21
  We figure out, you know, what's been going on. Is this
• 3:23
  a new thing, is it reoccurring, is it something we've been dealing with
• 3:25
  for a while, trying to figure out where this problem's coming from. So
• 3:30
  we sit down and talk with you through it, educate a little bit more
• 3:32
  about just what chiropractic is and what to expect and how it's going to help
• 3:36
  you. We do some assessments. We need some technology in our office to
• 3:38
  help us identify where the real problems are coming from. Take some xt race
• 3:43
  to see what the health of your spine is, and using all that information
• 3:46
  helps us put together the best plan of action. You know, you're at
• 3:50
  this point here and you want to get better, Well, what's that going
• 3:52
  to look like? So we put together care recommendations. You know how long
• 3:54
  it's going to take all these things. So we're really sitting down going through
• 3:58
  this whole process with you. Make sure you understand the ins and outs of
• 4:00
  what to expect, and then we get to the adjusting after you're comfortable with
• 4:04
  everything, You're happy with costs, all that. We go through all that
• 4:06
  up front, and you know what's happening rather than just Okay, later on,
• 4:10
  I'm going to start pushing right and do you especially an established client or
• 4:14
  an established patient that's been to a lot of chiropractors and you know everything that's
• 4:16
  going on. You know, some people really like that just it's the zero
• 4:20
  bowl and they just get right in and get adjusted. Totally understandable, but
• 4:24
  especially if you're new, you want to make sure you know what's going on
• 4:27
  first. Well, and that's the thing. They can have the discussion with
• 4:30
  you and let you know if they're going I don't need all of that,
• 4:31
  I just need this. I suppose that that is a good way to do
• 4:33
  it too, if that's where they're at. But I personally like the fact
• 4:38
  that you kind of walk us through, especially if you're new to chiropractical you
• 4:42
  don't know much about it, because again to me that I thought that was
• 4:45
  wonderful. Yeah, education is a huge part of helping you as a patient
• 4:47
  make better health choices for you and your family. And you guys are big
• 4:51
  on education. One of the reasons we do this program every Wednesday. So
• 4:55
  yeah, I hope your listeners are learning something at least. Yeah, today
• 4:58
  we learned that if you're pushed in the right spot, they release gas bubbles,
• 5:02
  many different kinds of gas bubble. If somebody would like to reach out
• 5:05
