  Speaker 1: Time now for back to the basics in 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, Happy first day of October.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're cruising right through the year and next thing,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: you know, it's going to be like Christmas and we're
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: not ready for that. But this time of year, and
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: it was weird. We start the week with like ninety
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: degree days. So this is that time of year where
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: we're going through some transitions and that kind of messes
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: with some allergies, doesn't it.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Right. We've kind of talked about that a little bit
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: off and on last week we were talking about, you know,
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: just kind of the fall weather change. While you might
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: be feel a little more crumby. But this week, especially
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: in the last couple of weeks, have been really bad
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: for sinus problems.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: And my wife was having some sinus issues and Doctor
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Harley punched her in the face a bunch of times,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: which that helped a lot, didn't.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: It Before you go running to the board. No, it's
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: a good way, right, And I didn't physically actually hit
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: my patient.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, it's a little little thing that you do.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: What is that called? Yeah, so I could use the
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: integrator We've talked about that guy, but I actually use
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: an activator because it's a little lower force versus you know,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: the full on force of like that integrator that I use.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: So really what I'm doing is helping your sinuses to drain,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: and that is the big thing we need right now.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: And you focus in on a very specific place and
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: you kind of do that in a few because she
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: punched me in the face too, But it feels really
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: good actually, and I already feel like pressure really does
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: that normal?
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So that's the really the biggest thing is our sinuses.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: So we have the one. We have one that's called
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: our maxillary sinus that hangs out right underneath our cheekbones,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: and then we have the one that's kind of between
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: the brow of our forehead that's our frontal sinus. And
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: really what they are their big cavernous spaces in our skull.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: And the biggest thing with those is like it helps
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: to lighten how heavy our heads are. But those cavernous
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: spaces can get filled with phlim and mucus and you know,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: running nosed drainage all that fun stuff, and that's where
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: you might start feeling like, oh my face just feels full,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: I have a lot of pressure between my eyes or
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: my teeth start hurting. Yeah, that's kind of some indications
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: that your sinuses are kind of holding on to some
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: of that run off the fluid that's hanging out in there,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: and so by doing that adjustment, it's gonna help break
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: up the pressure, and that's gonna help them to drain better.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: And where does that drain from from the sinuses.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Like out of your nose or I mean it'll.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Kind of actually more run down the back of your throat,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: which sounds.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I shouldn't have asked. I just wondered if I was
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: gonna have to blow my nose.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: A lot to that. Well, if they're draining better, no,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: you it shouldn't make you feel like you're having to
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: blow your nose all the time. I know it sounds awful.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: It's a good problem. I tell patients that it's like,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: when this releases, it's gonna be gross, but you're gonna
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: kind of feel like a giant snot while I go
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: down the back of your throat.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Well I do. I feel like I can breathe better already,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: which I think is a good thing.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: So that's the you know, pros and cons of the thing. Right,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: we're help when you breathe better, but you might have
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: to go through that, so not so yummy.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I'm going to try to avoid that if I can.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: But if somebody else is listening right now and they're like, man,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I've had that issue. And this is kind of a
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: seasonal thing. It happens for different reasons at different times
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: of the year, doesn't.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: It, right, Yeah, it's kind of spring. Springtime is really
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: popular for it, and summer's not so bad, and then
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: we get into fall with the harvest and the dryness
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: and all that starts kind of cropping up again. But
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: I've had patience since we started doing it, since they
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: started seeing us that they noticed they don't get sinus infections. Yeah,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: they used to get multiple throughout the seasons, and like,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: I haven't had a single one, And like that's huge
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: because your sinuses are draining, so that stuff that gets
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: stuck in there, it's not getting infected and festering and
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: getting gross. It's actually draining out and clearing like it's
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: supposed to. Well.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: And this maybe is a dumb example, but when you
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: think about gutters on your house, you know, if they're
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: clogged with leaves and they don't, you're gonna have issues.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: But if you keep them clogged free, then you don't
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: have those issues. And it's kind of the same type
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: of thing.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: No, it's a really good way of looking at it. Yeah.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: So it's like, again, if this is something that you
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: deal with every single year, I encourage you to come
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: in and let doctor Harley punch you in the face
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: in the nicest possible way. I know it sounds silly
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: to say that, but at the end of the day,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: you know it works really well, and this is something
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: that but again I know I can I can feel
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the difference already.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's awesome. So again, disclaimer, I'm not actually hating
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: you in the face. Oh I know.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I think they know. I'm just being selling. But if
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: somebody does struggle with sinuses, or they struggle with allergy issues,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: or maybe just back pain or they're having headaches, they
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: don't quite understand what's going on, If they would like
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: some help with that and would like to try chiropractic,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: how do they get in touch.
• 4:20
