  Speaker 1: Time now for back to the basics and healthcare with
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Balance Life Chiropractic. We're with doctor Harley. Hey you know doctor.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Harley, Hey John, I'm doing great, another wonderful week.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and we're going to talk about something that we
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: haven't talked about in a while. But dizziness and vertigo
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: and those things sometimes go hand in hand.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Don't they, right?
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: You know, you a lot of times you start with
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: getting dizzy and maybe it's happening more often or the
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: you know, the bouts of dizzeyiness are longer, so you
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: go to your doctor and they run a couple of
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: tests and maybe you get diagnosed with vertigo. So that's
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: kind of like the official diagnosis for like long term
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: you know, episodes and bouts of that kind of.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Dizziness, and then you might be thinking, well, how do
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: I treat this? What am I supposed to do?
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: You know, there's definitely medications that you can take, but
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: chiropractic has actually been known to help treat dizziness and.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Vertigo, and I suppose a lot of that depends on
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: what's causing the issue. And if there's you know, certain
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: things that are causing it, you can snap this back
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: into place and pop that back into place and make
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: things all better.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Right. So a lot of times we find that dizzeyess
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: vertigo can be caused by problem in our inner ear.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: Now you're probably not thinking, I thought ears were for hearing.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: Why would my dizziness vertigo issues be there. Well, in
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: our inner ear is our center for equilibrium and balance,
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: and there's this is this is good where people might
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: be like, this is really weird sounding. But there's tiny
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: little stones that float in a fluid inside our inner ear. Again,
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: people are like, what are you talking about.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I've said for ye head.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: It is true there's.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: Tiny little stones that when they get out of position,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: that that changes the equilibrium the balance in the center,
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: like in our ear centers.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: So that's where we can get some of that feeling. Now,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: there's some you.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Know, physical therapy, occupational therapy things that can help reposition
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: those stones. So that could be a cause of some
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: of that dizziness vertigo. But it could also be that
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: there is a bone out of alignment in your upper neck,
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: usually around C two, because that CEA two nerve actually
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: goes back up into our head and controls our our
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: eyes and ears and no, so SEA two is really
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: known for the ear stuff.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: So I was going to say to C too, that's
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: what I was thinking.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: I have no idea. We've talked about that before with
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: chronic ear infections, that C two can be a big
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: factor to that, but also can contribute to that dizziness,
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: the vertigo, the balance issues because that nerve's not communicating
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: with the ear properly when our C two vertebrate is
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: out of alignment in our neck. So we find that
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: upper neck adjustments actually really help with reducing dizziness and
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: vertigo or balance equilibrium kind of things.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Nice. So how would somebody know if this is something
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: they need? I suppose if they're dizzy, if they're quite dizzy,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: they might realize that, hey, this could be kend of
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: what you're talking about. Or would they need to have
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: been diagnosed with something, or if they if they're dizzy,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: would that be enough for them to stop in and say, hey, doc,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: help me out right.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: With any like health conditions.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Someone doesn't need a diagnosis to go see a chiropractor.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: If you're dealing with you, like I just started having
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: some really dizzy spells, you know, maybe let's see if
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: chiropractic can help with that before I go try to
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: get on some medication or something like that. You know,
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: whatever direction you start with, if you go to your
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: primary go to chiropractor, PT whatever, all of us professionals
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: we're going to help direct you in the right direction.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: Chiropractice a good stepping point, so then you know, use
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: a little bit cheaper than going to the doctor too, uh,
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: and we're a lot easier to get in with right away.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: So I think that's why all that times, Chiropractice is a
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: really good starting point because you're not having to wait
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: weeks or even months. If it's getting to a point
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: where you need a specialist, you can come in and
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: talk with us, and then we can determine.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Too if this is going to be a good.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Direction, or if we need to send you out to
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: your primary care prop.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: If somebody would like to take that first step, what
• 3:32

• 3:34
  Speaker 1: the list and come in and have you look at
• 3:36
