  Time now for back to the basics in healthcare with Balance Life Chiropractic, and
• 0:03
  we have doctor Harley with us. Hey doing doctor Harley. I'm staying warm,
• 0:08
  John, Yeah, I'll tell you what. This time of year,
• 0:10
  it gets a little bit chilly. We've got Snowjam Comedy Festival this week,
• 0:13
  and we've got a bunch of people coming to town from like warm places.
• 0:17
  They think we're insane. Lucky them. They're like, why in the world
• 0:19
  would you guys live here. I'm like, well, we don't have this
• 0:22
  weather all the time, and when we do, we just stay inside.
• 0:25
  But people can't always stay inside. If they have to be outside, they
• 0:27
  should take precautions, right, Yeah, and especially with how much snow we
• 0:31
  got dumped on you because we decide to have winter all in one week.
• 0:35
  Yeah, we had like no winter in November, no winter December, and
• 0:38
  then it was hey, let's just have winter all at once. Right,
• 0:41
  So there are people that are moving snow and that can be kind of a
• 0:45
  challenge on your body, can it? Definitely? At least this stuff was
• 0:48
  pretty light powdery, so it moves pretty quickly. There's just a lot of
• 0:52
  it, So one make sure that you're taking the time to do it properly.
• 0:57
  Don't try to rush through it because that's where you're going to get hurt.
• 0:59
  Especially and it's this cold too, it's good to make sure that you're
• 1:02
  warming up, you know, stretching because you're about to go do some exercise.
• 1:04
  Whether you feel like it's that it is or not, it's still a
• 1:07
  lot of work and the last thing you want to do is, unfortunately,
• 1:11
  end up hurting yourself moving all this snow and that not everyone is lucky to
• 1:15
  have a snowblower or have neighbors that are going to help them out. So
• 1:19
  I couldn't get my snowblower to start. Then I remember I have a skid
• 1:22
  loader parked in my yard, right, I'm using that. There you go,
• 1:26
  not work nice and maybe clean up nice and easy. I got to
• 1:27
  get me one of those. I don't know if anyone everyone can have those.
• 1:32
  But you know, even with snowblowers too, you're still kind of bending
• 1:36
  over and having to move that snow. I have some patients that are well
• 1:38
  over six foot and you're talking with them like, yeah, I'm having to
• 1:41
  like bend over a lot. So we're seeing a lot more upper back kind
• 1:44
  of mid back from those guys, just because you know they're having to be
• 1:48
  bend over so much versus when you're shoveling. It's kind of a whole body
• 1:52
  or kind of more lower body focused you know, should be because you're bending
• 1:55
  with your knees hopefully not just with your back. That's how you'll hurt your
• 1:57
  back. And there are people who go out and shovel the snow and they
• 2:02
  don't maybe prepare for it, and then they can over exert themselves and get
• 2:07
  hurt pretty bad, can't they? Oh definitely, I mean they've this fortunately
• 2:12
  wasn't the snow. It's like the widow Maker kind of snow. That's the
• 2:14
  heavy stuff. But even this stuff is more like you know, sprain strains,
• 2:17
  throwing your back out, that kind of stuff. So if you're someone
• 2:20
  listening that you weren't prepared for all of this snow and trying to get it
• 2:23
  done quickly and you may have hurt yourself, Oh there's some good news.
• 2:28
  Chiropractic can help you get back on your feet a lot faster. You see,
• 2:31
  stretching, ice, heat, all this stuff is going to help.
• 2:35
  But if your body got shifted, your back's twisted out of alignment. You
• 2:38
  know, chiropractic is going to help straighten you back out, help ease that
• 2:43
  tension. You're going to heal a lot faster if somebody listening has gone I
• 2:46
  would like to try that. You've talked me into it. I'm interested.
• 2:50
  How do they get in touch with the how do they sign up for this?
• 2:52
  Remember we have a lot of winter left to go yea, So don't
• 2:54
  wait till the next snowstorm to starts taking care of yourself. Try to get
• 2:59
  some lease, some treatment in before the next snow. We don't know when
• 3:02
  that will be yet, hopefully not till like April and then it melts a
• 3:07
