  Speaker 1: Time out for back to the basics and health care
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: with Balanced Life Chiropractic, and we have doctor Harley joining us.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Hey doing doctor Harley, Hey.
• 0:06
  Speaker 3: John, I'm doing fantastic. I can't believe how fast summer
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: is a flying by.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: It's cruising.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: I heard somebody talking about the number of days til
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: back to school and I was like, wait a minute,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: what that's That's not many?
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: I mean all the stores, have you believe it's next week? Yeah,
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: all that back to school sales and everything.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Well, it's going to be here before we know it.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: But we're going to talk today about wellness because wellness
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: is a thing that it's kind of hard to pin
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: an exact definition of that because it's different for different people,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: isn't it right?
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: And I mean I asked that question a lot. If
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: we're out doing like marketing events, screening fair stuff like that,
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: be like, oh, I'm good, I don't need a chiropractor,
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: or like, well, when should I see a chiropractor? If
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: I feel good?
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Do I really need a chiropractor?
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: And I said, yeah, it's chiropractics not just for aches,
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: pains and issues, but also keeping you on your feet,
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: keeping you healthy. And that's what we talk about wellness
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: or maintenance maintaining your health. It's so much easier to
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: take care of yourself when you're feeling good, yeah, and
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: keep it feeling good versus waiting till things start popping
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: up and showing up. You know, myself, as a chiropractor,
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: I get adjusted once a week. Not that I have
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: a lot of health problems. It's just I want to
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: keep myself in tiptop shape so that I can take
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: care of my patients. You know, we've been pretty stressful life.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: You know, jobs are stressful, and raising kids, economy, all
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: these different things. So that's a lot of everyday stressors
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: that we don't really think about. And that is more
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: where wellness helps to combat some of that Versus when
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: we don't take care of our stress and our health,
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: that's when we start getting more the physical problem start
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: showing up.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: And wellness and health are different because I hear all
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the time health and wellness, so they're different things, but
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: they're similar, right right.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: You know, our health is our greatest asset and we
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: don't really realize it until all of a sudden it's gone.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: And I looked at the definition for what health is
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: from like the Webster Dictionary, and it was a state
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: of being without disease or injuries, so like kind of
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: a really simple simple description. Most of the time we
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: know and we don't have injuries, right, you know, slip's falls,
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: car accidents, you name it, sporting injuries. We know when
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: that happens. It's the state of disease part that is
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: not always. Oh yeah, of course I know that because
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: a lot of diseases don't have any symptoms in the
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: early stages of them, and then when we finally get
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: diagnosed or start showing symptoms, it's well advanced, and then
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: it's like, well, there's only palliative care at that point
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: to really maintain it. We can't get rid of it
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: at that point. So the goal with like chiropractic and
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: thinking like that kind of term of health is, let's
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: try to prevent this stuff or take care of disease
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: before it even starts manifesting.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: And nip it in the bud when it's a tiny
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: little thing, rather than waiting it's a big problem, right,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: because you could wait until you are so sore you
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: can barely move.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: You could do that. You certainly could do that.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: And I'm sure there's a lot of chiropractors that'll be like, hey,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: come and see me, we'd love to see it. Or
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: you could say, hey, I don't want to get to
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: that point. I want to have a nice wellness plan
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: where I feel good all the time instead of waiting
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: until I am in a really bad spot.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: And I've had patients that they started without really any
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: major complaints and after a few weeks, like I didn't
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: realize how good I could feel. You know, everyone's always
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: told me like, oh, just being old as part of it,
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: and you're gonna have aches and pains being older.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: But I follow in that category quite honestly, because when
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: we started working with you, and we've how long I
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: have been working to go three years?
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Three years?
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so and you know, I'm in my upper forties.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know exactly know for sure old, I don't
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: know for sure, but I'm a man of a certain age,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and at a certain age, you know, you just wake
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: up and you're like, oh, this is just what I
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: feel like. And I remember we started coming to balance
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: life chiropractic on a regular consistent basis, and I remember
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: thinking I feel better, which is kind of crazy, because
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: like I didn't I didn't even I wasn't.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Expecting I did to have the aches and pains, you know,
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: part of being older.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: And now the nice thing is we've been doing this
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: on a consistent basis and I feel good most of
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: the time, other than when I do dumb stuff like
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I did recently.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: I was helping doing a.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Bunch of yard work and I moved like a couple
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: tons of rock, so I kind of hobbled in on Monday.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: I'm like, uh, can you fix me?
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: You came and got adjusted. Yeah, and they, you know,
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: got over the aches and pains a little absolutely.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: And that's the thing.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Recovery time goes a lot quicker when you do have
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: a wellness plan. So if somebody listening is going, I
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: don't have any kind of plan. I don't have any
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: of this stuff figured out. I don't know what I'm doing.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: If they would like to get started with you, what
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: does the first step and what does the process look like?
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it starts with getting a new patient appointment set.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: That way, we can make sure that we're taking the
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: time to sit down with you and talk to you
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: about what your health goals are, where you're at on
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: your health journey. If you're just getting started, or if
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: we're going to be you know, assisting with other things
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: that you're doing. But yeah, it really just starts with
• 4:32
