Speaker 3: Hey, Coach, what do you got for us today?
1:18
Speaker 1: Welcome back to another episode of Sporting Good Poster.
1:21
Speaker 2: I'm your host, Coach Frank, here with a really important
1:24
Speaker 2: story to share with you in this episode. One with
1:26
Speaker 2: lessons for both you and me. You see, I got
1:29
Speaker 2: injured a couple weeks back. I hurt my ankle and
1:32
Speaker 2: it really threw me for a loop.
1:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, me.
1:36
Speaker 2: Me who played football and other sports when I was young.
1:39
Speaker 2: Who got injured pretty good playing and who got back
1:42
Speaker 2: in the game stronger than ever in less time than
1:45
Speaker 2: imaginable by working with a doctor of chiropractic. Me who
1:49
Speaker 2: abandoned my idea of being an athlete in college and
1:51
Speaker 2: went directly to chiropractic school.
1:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, that guy.
1:55
Speaker 2: The one you rely on for advice in this area.
1:57
Speaker 2: This injury really threw me for a loop recently, and
2:00
Speaker 2: I got back into my old way of thinking for
2:02
Speaker 2: a second, thinking I'd be laid up for a week
2:04
Speaker 2: or so. Well, I'll tell you the story leading up
2:08
Speaker 2: to it and why, but it ended up taking just
2:11
Speaker 2: a few days, and here I am, back to doing
2:13
Speaker 2: what I was doing and feeling even better in the process.
2:17
Speaker 1: How did it all happen? Well, I'll tell you something.
2:20
Speaker 1: It didn't start with the injury.
2:22
Speaker 2: It started long ago after recovering from my oldest injuries,
2:25
Speaker 2: but more recently, accumulations of physical stresses and imbalances that
2:31
Speaker 2: set me up for the fall, so to speak. As
2:34
Speaker 2: for how that all transpired, what I did to handle it,
2:37
Speaker 2: and how this seeming miracle came about, I'm going to
2:40
Speaker 2: fill you in on the details. I'm about to explain
2:43
Speaker 2: it to you so that you can apply the same
2:45
Speaker 2: way of approaching it to your own injuries, whether current
2:48
Speaker 2: or past, or whether dormant or predicting the weather, All
2:52
Speaker 2: of it, right after this short message.
2:54
Speaker 3: Where do you carry your stress? Whether you carry it
2:56
Speaker 3: in your shoulders, hold it in your neck, or feel
2:58
Speaker 3: it in your back, it's usually not chronic, but it's
3:01
Speaker 3: always annoying. Carrying stress isn't normal at all, but how
3:04
Speaker 3: can you know for sure how the stress you carry
3:06
Speaker 3: can be hindering you? The answer is the Advanced Postural
3:09
Speaker 3: Impact Screening at Ideal Health and Wellness Center. Chiropractic studies
3:13
Speaker 3: have revealed that posture is more than just how straight
3:15
Speaker 3: you stand. It measures spinal and skeletal support of every
3:18
Speaker 3: body function. Poor posture reveals trouble areas in your basic structure,
3:23
Speaker 3: interfering with body function, leading to pain, discomfort, tension, sleep trouble,
3:27
Speaker 3: and even digestive issues and allergies. There isn't a body
3:30
Speaker 3: function that isn't potentially at risk. Dr. Margiela conducts the
3:33
Speaker 3: advanced postural impact screening to trace back postural issues to
3:37
Speaker 3: their origins, which often have been accumulating over your entire
3:40
Speaker 3: life to find the real reasons things haven't been working
3:43
Speaker 3: their best.
3:44
Speaker 1: And that means.
3:44
Speaker 3: Everything when you're trying to reach your ideal performance. See
3:47
Speaker 3: where the sources of the stress you carry lie and
3:49
Speaker 3: find out what you yourself can do about them. Call

3:57
Speaker 2: Okay, so how do you turn a future of pain,
4:00
Speaker 2: literally changing with the weather, being forever haunted by ghost
4:04
Speaker 2: pains of the past and even current injuries into distant
4:07
Speaker 2: memories from the past? How do you gain ground on
4:09
Speaker 2: your optimum physical potential and recover even.
4:12
Speaker 1: Beyond where you started before injury?
4:15
Speaker 2: Most people, especially without injury, aren't living up to their
4:19
Speaker 2: optimum physical potential simply because A, it's being blocked, and B,
4:25
Speaker 2: they haven't seen the Pretty much everyone is walking around
4:30
Speaker 2: operating below their physical potential.
4:33
Speaker 1: All while not knowing what it is. Even athletes, even
4:37
Speaker 1: pro athletes who you consider top performers.
4:41
Speaker 2: So this is pretty serious. But it all starts with
4:45
Speaker 2: a story, my story, and it all happened just over
4:48
Speaker 2: a week ago. I was downtown actually just walking, headed
4:54
Speaker 2: back to my car, just on the sidewalk, and The
4:58
Speaker 2: sidewalk's a little.
4:58
Speaker 1: Uneven and I wasn't really paying attention.
5:01
Speaker 2: I ended up stepping on an uneven spot on the
5:04
Speaker 2: sidewalk and my right ankle turned all the way and
5:09
Speaker 2: basically hit the ground. Like it went pretty, pretty far
5:13
Speaker 2: and slammed right into the ground. Normally, if something like
5:17
Speaker 2: that happens, I can stop it and kind of jump
5:20
Speaker 2: out of the rolling of the ankle happening, but I
5:23
Speaker 2: just wasn't really paying attention. So it happened quick and
5:26
Speaker 2: it nailed the ground. man, I felt some immediate pain.
5:30
Speaker 2: So I had to go finish walking to go get
5:33
Speaker 2: to my car. And as I was walking back to
5:35
Speaker 2: my car for a couple blocks, it really started hurting
5:38
Speaker 2: even more.
5:40
Speaker 1: That's when I realized that this was a little bit
5:43
Speaker 1: worse than I had done. I hadn't really.
5:45
Speaker 2: Sprained my ankle like this in a very long time,
5:47
Speaker 2: probably a good 20, 25 years since I was back
5:50
Speaker 2: in college and high school and playing football and everything.
5:53
Speaker 2: But that brought me back to that time because I've
5:56
Speaker 2: had some injuries like this. The first thing that I
5:59
Speaker 2: was thinking of is, man, I got to work. It
6:01
Speaker 2: was on a Sunday and I was like, I got
6:04
Speaker 2: to get to work tomorrow. And man, I'm going to
6:06
Speaker 2: be laid up now. And I'm wondering if I can
6:08
Speaker 2: even go to work and if I'm going to be
6:10
Speaker 2: able to stand and do everything that I do as
6:12
Speaker 2: a chiropractor every week. And I was really worried because
6:15
Speaker 2: it's been a long time since I've sprained my ankle
6:18
Speaker 2: this bad. And I was concerned about my recovery. I
6:21
Speaker 2: really wasn't sure. if it was going to recover that
6:24
Speaker 2: quickly just because it's been so long and I was
6:27
Speaker 2: just worried. You know, I normally keep myself in pretty
6:31
Speaker 2: good shape. I typically take care of my body. I
6:35
Speaker 2: typically get adjusted and, you know, I do the things that.
6:39
Speaker 1: I tell all my patients to do.
6:40
Speaker 2: I really try to stay up on that just so
6:42
Speaker 2: I could be a good model for everybody that comes
6:45
Speaker 2: in so I can show that I'm actually practicing what
6:47
Speaker 2: I'm preaching. There's times where I'm busy too and life
6:51
Speaker 2: happens and I may not get adjusted as often as
6:54
Speaker 2: I should or take the time to do some stretches.
6:57
Speaker 2: And so this injury that happened basically with some imbalances
7:02
Speaker 2: going on turned out to be worse than it probably
7:05
Speaker 2: should have.
7:05
Speaker 1: So I take responsibility on that where I.
7:08
Speaker 2: Hadn't been doing as much as I should have been
7:10
Speaker 2: doing leading up to this injury that happened. And then
7:14
Speaker 2: kind of just trying to figure out now how to
7:17
Speaker 2: fix it. So it's a matter of just taking charge
7:21
Speaker 2: of the situation, and also having a better positive mindset.
7:25
Speaker 2: So as I got home that night, I hurt myself.
7:29
Speaker 2: I was like, you know what? This is what I
7:32
Speaker 2: do for a living. I'm going to figure this out.
7:34
Speaker 2: I'm going to be able to get better. And I'm
7:37
Speaker 2: going to be able to learn from this, really. I'm
7:40
Speaker 2: going to turn this bad situation into a positive where
7:43
Speaker 2: Now I can help patients. I have a lot of athletes,
7:45
Speaker 2: student athletes that have sprained their ankles before. And, you know,
7:49
Speaker 2: I hadn't done it to myself in a while where
7:51
Speaker 2: I sprained my ankle. So now it really put me
7:53
Speaker 2: back into that, you know, game mode, really. I thought
7:56
Speaker 2: about if I had a game to play, if I
7:58
Speaker 2: had a practice to play and I had playoffs coming
8:01
Speaker 2: up or whatever was going to go on, that I
8:03
Speaker 2: needed to get better as.
8:05
Speaker 1: Quickly as I could and that I could do it.
8:10
Speaker 2: And I look back to the things I've done in
8:11
Speaker 2: the past, and I was able to get better in
8:13
Speaker 2: the past. And I even have more things available to
8:16
Speaker 2: me than I did when I was a kid or
8:18
Speaker 2: as a young.
8:19
Speaker 1: Adult to get better.
8:20
Speaker 2: So once I started thinking through this, I realized that
8:24
Speaker 2: I'm going to be able to get better from.
8:26
Speaker 1: This and use it as a learning experience to help
8:28
Speaker 1: other people.
8:29
Speaker 2: Basically, first thing when I got into work Monday, before
8:33
Speaker 2: I even saw any patients that day, I lasered my foot.
8:35
Speaker 2: I had a brace on it just to kind of
8:37
Speaker 2: keep it from twisting anymore and just kind of trying
8:40
Speaker 2: to keep it.
8:41
Speaker 1: A little bit immobile.
8:42
Speaker 2: And then later that day before I left again to
8:46
Speaker 2: go home, I lasered it again. We have a red
8:49
Speaker 2: light machine in our office that we wrap around the
8:51
Speaker 2: whole body. So I did a red light therapy treatment too.
8:55
Speaker 2: So I got in two lasers that day and a
8:57
Speaker 2: red light treatment. And right away, I did see some differences.
9:01
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you too, that first week, there was
9:04
Speaker 2: tremendous healing. Because not only had I sprained my ankle,
9:08
Speaker 2: but my foot got very swollen and bruised on the inside,
9:12
Speaker 2: on the top, and on the outside. The entire thing
9:15
Speaker 2: was black and blue. I was able to take some
9:17
Speaker 2: x-rays that first day, so I didn't have anything broken.
9:20
Speaker 2: But you would have thought that I did with the
9:21
Speaker 2: amount of bruising and swelling that happened. But as the
9:25
Speaker 2: week went on, I was still able to see patients.
9:27
Speaker 2: I had my brace on, and I was able to
9:29
Speaker 2: do red light and laser that week. and within that
9:33
Speaker 2: first week the bruising basically had gone away and it
9:36
Speaker 2: really like it looked like if you somebody saw my
9:38
Speaker 2: foot you would have thought for sure that it was
9:40
Speaker 2: broken and that it looked like somebody took a hammer
9:43
Speaker 2: to my foot and like just beat the crap out
9:45
Speaker 2: of my foot so really within that first week there
9:48
Speaker 2: was a lot of healing that took place and it
9:50
Speaker 2: really gave me a lot of hope that it would
9:51
Speaker 2: get better and then as the last couple of weeks
9:54
Speaker 2: have gone on here there's been a tremendous amount of
9:56
Speaker 2: healing that has happened and this would have been something
10:00
Speaker 2: great to have when I was a kid playing sports,
10:03
Speaker 2: having like red light or even just the red light
10:05
Speaker 2: laser that we have at the office.
10:07
Speaker 1: It's one of the best things that I've found.
10:09
Speaker 2: And I'm actually pretty amazed at how quick my foot
10:13
Speaker 2: has gotten better because this was a pretty bad sprain.
10:18
Speaker 1: Really black and blue and swollen. And the amount of progress.
10:21
Speaker 2: I've made here in the last few weeks, if I
10:23
Speaker 2: was younger and I was supposed to be playing games
10:26
Speaker 2: and stuff, I would have been probably getting back on
10:29
Speaker 2: the practice field this week and trying to play in
10:31
Speaker 2: the game. So I really give a lot of credit
10:34
Speaker 2: to the laser because it's really brought the blood flow
10:37
Speaker 2: to that area, got the inflammation to go down, got
10:41
Speaker 2: the bruising to go away.
10:42
Speaker 1: And then the red light really brought a lot of
10:44
Speaker 1: circulation to that area.
10:46
Speaker 2: It really has impressed me how this technology that we
10:49
Speaker 2: have at the office was able to really help me
10:51
Speaker 2: heal in such a short amount of time. I'm just
10:53
Speaker 2: happy that it's healing at a great pace, just knowing
10:57
Speaker 2: that it got it back that quickly after such a
10:59
Speaker 2: bad sprain going on with my ankle.
11:02
Speaker 1: So why was I able to heal so fast? By
11:05
Speaker 1: having less interference in my body and having alignment and
11:09
Speaker 1: better posture, that's what allowed me to heal faster. this quickly.
11:14
Speaker 1: Because if I had just done the laser.
11:16
Speaker 2: Alone, I don't know if it would have really made
11:18
Speaker 2: a big difference like it did. But from all the
11:21
Speaker 2: years of staying in alignment, concentrating on posture, I've been
11:26
Speaker 2: able to heal quicker than normal. And even as I've
11:30
Speaker 2: aged into my 40s now, I know that I'm at
11:34
Speaker 2: a better advantage than somebody else that hasn't been getting
11:37
Speaker 2: adjusted because with less interference, your body's able to heal.
11:40
Speaker 2: And with less interference, your body can restore itself back
11:43
Speaker 2: to what it started at, where I'm not going to
11:46
Speaker 2: have years and years of, oh, I can predict the
11:49
Speaker 2: weather because my ankle's still swollen or whatever's going on.
11:53
Speaker 1: If you have a knee problem, a shoulder problem.
11:54
Speaker 2: Whatever it is, if you've had that and you can
11:57
Speaker 2: predict the weather because of the inflammation that happens in there,
12:01
Speaker 2: you kind of know what I'm talking about and there.
12:03
Speaker 1: Is ways to heal.
12:04
Speaker 2: And I know that having chiropractic in my life for
12:07
Speaker 2: all these years has allowed me the ability to heal
12:11
Speaker 2: faster with less interference.
12:14
Speaker 1: So when I talk about getting adjusted, what does that
12:16
Speaker 1: really mean?
12:17
Speaker 2: And what does it mean to have somebody that is
12:19
Speaker 2: adjusted and somebody that's not adjusted?
12:22
Speaker 1: Adjustments are more than just moving bones.
12:26
Speaker 2: It's getting the interference out of the nervous system so
12:30
Speaker 2: that your body has the ability to heal. So as
12:33
Speaker 2: somebody that's been adjusted for over 25 years, my body
12:37
Speaker 2: has the ability to heal much faster than somebody that
12:41
Speaker 2: doesn't get adjusted. And what that means is that my
12:44
Speaker 2: posture is in better alignment. I've had less interference over
12:46
Speaker 2: the years. So the ability to heal is much higher
12:51
Speaker 2: for me and anybody that gets adjusted as opposed to
12:54
Speaker 2: somebody that just sprains their ankle.
12:56
Speaker 1: And then is laid up in bed for weeks or
12:59
Speaker 1: months at a time.
13:00
Speaker 2: And their body doesn't have the ability to heal because
13:04
Speaker 2: they have a lot of interference. There's a lot of inflammation.
13:07
Speaker 2: There's a lot of interference in the nervous system. So
13:09
Speaker 2: it really hinders the body's ability to heal. Those are
13:13
Speaker 2: the kind of people that tell me that they still
13:15
Speaker 2: have these injuries years later because their body never healed
13:19
Speaker 2: it from the beginning.
13:20
Speaker 1: And then It's that accumulation. So just say maybe you.
13:23
Speaker 2: Sprained your ankle again later on, or if you're sitting
13:26
Speaker 2: at a desk and your neck was hurting and now
13:29
Speaker 2: it's hurting worse now, it's a matter of accumulation and
13:33
Speaker 2: interference that's growing inside your body where the people that
13:36
Speaker 2: get adjusted have less interference and have the ability to
13:40
Speaker 2: heal because the body can do what it's supposed to
13:42
Speaker 2: do without any blockages.
13:45
Speaker 1: But here's the good news. You didn't permanently lose your ability.
13:48
Speaker 2: To heal if you're not healing quickly. What's actually happening
13:53
Speaker 2: is your brain can't tell your body to heal because
13:55
Speaker 2: the whole message system that tells your body to heal
13:58
Speaker 2: is blocked.
14:00
Speaker 1: But there's a way to get that unblocked. And that's
14:02
Speaker 1: what chiropractic actually is all about.
14:04
Speaker 2: 90% of what I do is isolating displacements in the spine,
14:09
Speaker 2: which are causing nerve blockages, cutting communication between brain and body.
14:14
Speaker 1: And this interrupts function. That is why healing can be
14:17
Speaker 1: slowed or blocked. So when you adjust the structure, you're
14:21
Speaker 1: merely putting the spine back into its normal position, which
14:24
Speaker 1: supports healthy and complete nerve energy flow. That means total communication,
14:31
Speaker 1: and that means function. So natural body function of healing
14:34
Speaker 1: can take place the way it should. Here is all
14:37
Speaker 1: that usually.
14:38
Speaker 2: Stands between healing and being a lifetime meteorologist, making weather
14:43
Speaker 2: predictions with ghosts of past injuries.
14:46
Speaker 1: So what's your next step?
14:48
Speaker 2: The next step is that I need to screen you
14:51
Speaker 2: to find out why you have these imbalances, where they are,
14:56
Speaker 2: and what we can do to help you unlock the
14:58
Speaker 2: potential in your nervous system. This way we can find
15:01
Speaker 2: out why you're not healing and get you on the
15:04
Speaker 2: track to better health.
15:06
Speaker 1: I can tell you one thing.
15:07
Speaker 2: If you can predict the weather because of a past injury,
15:11
Speaker 2: something is definitely wrong. So have any questions for me,
