  Time now for back to the basics and healthcare with balanced Life Chiropractic, and
• 0:03
  we have doctor Harley joining us. How you doing doctor Harley? Hey John,
• 0:06
  I'm doing great. I'm gonna talk about spring and new things and babies
• 0:11
  and kids and this is all the kind of fun stuff that people like to
• 0:13
  think about, isn't that. Yeah, a couple weeks ago we talked about
• 0:17
  it's you know, brand new babies, moms all that. But you know,
• 0:20
  as those babies are starting to grow, they're going to start going through
• 0:24
  different milestones and different changes as well. So chiropractics really important for you know,
• 0:29
  even the first year of life, just as their bodies going through so
• 0:32
  many different changes, they have all all these different milestones that they should be
• 0:36
  reaching along the way to make sure that they're growing at a happy, healthy
• 0:39
  rate. Absolutely, because babies they're nothing more than just like little itty bitty
• 0:42
  human beans, right, they sure are. So they've got spines and they've
• 0:45
  got brains, and they've got all these things that we have that those are
• 0:49
  tiny. But when it comes time to do adjusting, how different is it
• 0:52
  to do adjustments on a one year old? So as they are moving more,
• 0:57
  the adjustment changes a little bit, you know, when they're a little
• 0:59
  bit babies, it's really just kind of holding in those spots where you know,
• 1:03
  we feel that things are out of alignment and the baby's going to move
• 1:06
  that to where it should be as they kind of adjust themselves. It's kind
• 1:10
  of funny that way. And then as they start getting older more mobile,
• 1:14
  I start having you know, mom or dad holding them because you know,
• 1:17
  once they start learning that they can move, they can't be contained, right,
• 1:19
  yeah, So even then we're still using our hands or we use an
• 1:23
  instrument called an activator on a really low setting, so still very gentle,
• 1:27
  very specific with them. And then as they start getting to the point of
• 1:30
  walking, you know, around one, it's still kind of the same that
• 1:34
  either mom or dad are holding them or they're getting used to being on the
• 1:38
  table, so they start learning face down on the table, but still using
• 1:41
  instrument adjusting with them at that point. But nice. We help a lot
• 1:45
  of kiddos, you know, with crawling issues. You know, they should
• 1:47
  be crawling, even lay both sides. Sometimes if their hips are stuck,
• 1:51
  they'll hitch or hike one hip and you can really tell that it's not moving
• 1:55
  like the amost crawl sideways right, and then as they start walking or learning
• 1:59
  to walk, is kind of the same concept that their hips are moving,
• 2:01
  they're gonna start kind of hitching or hiking that one up or dragging it.
• 2:06
  So they're not quite as even with that or if they're delayed with any of
• 2:09
  those milestones, chiropractic can help you catch them up a little bit. Obviously,
• 2:15
  we're not gonna if they're supposed to be crawling it. You know,
• 2:17
  however, many months old and they're not there yet. They have to learn
• 2:22
  that as well, but we're going to help with the functional movement aspect to
• 2:24
  make sure that that's not the issue. What is the most common thing you
• 2:29
  find with toddlers? Probably not like carbo tunnel or you know, issues you
• 2:31
  find on a job site, but what are the kind of things that you
• 2:35
  find typically, and like a little bitty kit. A lot of times it
• 2:38
  can be sleep if they're not sleeping through the night, especially after you know,
• 2:42
  a couple of months old, they should be sleeping through most of the
• 2:44
  night, or if they're really fussy colicky, you know, or if they're
• 2:47
  spitting up a lot and you see a lot of inpata reflux, your infections
• 2:52
  and they start getting older bedweading, you know that's you know, older than
• 2:57
  three after they're a lot of diapers and everything like that. But the ear
• 3:00
  infection thing, because that's pretty common. You hear that a lot in like
• 3:04
  toddler ages. Is that something that chiropractic can typically help with. Oh?
• 3:07
  Absolutely. You know what we find is the second bone in the next so
• 3:12
  C two or the access bone is rotated out of alignment. Well, those
• 3:15
  nerves are going back up into the head and they actually control the ears,
• 3:19
  so hearing balance also pressure. So a lot of ear infections cause our cause
• 3:24
  because the Eustaian tubes or the tubes that drain the ears, they're blocked up.
• 3:30
  The pressure is too much, they're not draining. So then we start
• 3:32
  getting in you know, bacteria build up in the inner years, we start
• 3:35
  getting infections and everything like that. But adjustin that helps release that pressure,
• 3:39
  helping things to drain and reducing the risk of your infections. Nice. If
• 3:44
  somebody listening maybe has a toddler or young child that they would like to bring
• 3:49
  in for treatment, what is the process? How does that work? So
• 3:52
