  Speaker 1: Time now for back to the basics and healthcare with
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: balance life Chiropractic. We're with doctor Harley.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: How you doing, Hey, John, another wonderful week ahead.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we got easter coming up this weekend. I can't believe.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't believe it's Easter already.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: It's already here, and this time of year, people are
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: out getting active doing stuff because like, you know, hey,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: we're done, Like spring is here, We're going to go
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: out and do some yard work. We're going to go
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: out and you know, play what was it, disc golf?
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was just telling you when we were trying
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: to talk about what to talk about today, It's like
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: I'm feeling it today because I haven't knew a lot
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: of disc golf as the weather starting getting nicer. That's
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: me and my husband's activity of choice.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: So when people overdo it playing disc golf or working
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: in the yard or doing whatever they choose to do.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: One of the things that's amazing to me is if
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: you've got chiropractic as part of your medical and your
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: health routine, recovery time seems to be a lot better,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: doesn't it.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, definitely, it makes a big difference. You know, when
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: things are actually moving like they're supposed to. So I
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: think of your hips, for example, you're having a lot
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: of little back pain and you know you're stretching, you're
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: using all these things, it's still really tight, not getting better.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: The problem could be that your hips are really out
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: of alignment and stuck, and you know, no amount of
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: stretching or working on the muscles are going to get
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: those joints to move like they're supposed to again. So
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: that's where we see chiropractic really is beneficial for helping
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: making sure things are moving properly and how they should.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: And that's going to help your muscles not feel so
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: tight and sore and recover faster because they're not having
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: to work as hard.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: And you know, there's like a medical anthem. Hips don't lie.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I think that's no, that's not a medical.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Anth No, I don't think.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know who sings it. I was gonna say Shakira,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: but I'm probably wrong.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: I think you're right.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: I think I was a DJ back in the day,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: so maybe I think that's what it was.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, you do kind of run a radio station,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: I know, but not that we don't do that music.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: So but hips don't lie. If you have sore hips
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: or if you've got a sore back, it could be
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: connected to something else. And it's not always necessarily well,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: it hurts here, so the problem is here, it could
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: be somewhere else, completely.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Right, And so some things that you could be doing
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: in the meantime before you schedule your chiropractic appointment is
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: you know you would should you use ice? When should
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: you use heat? I get that question a lot. I
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: always find ice is really great for post activity. So
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: if you're a joint except we're going back to the
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: hips here because it's a good example. So you say
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: your hips are hurting, icing along your hip joints are
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: gonna help with some of the inflammation. So you do
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: twenty minutes on, twenty minutes off, do twenty minutes on again.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: You want to get it to the point where the
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: skin and the joint are feeling really cold and actually
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: going to numbs. So it's probably gonna hurt. It's gonna
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: be because you have very cold. Cold doesn't feel great,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: But we want to get to that numb point because
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: that's when we're getting the most effective therapeutic benefit of
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: that ice.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: So when do we use heat then rather than ice.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: I find heat's really good for the muscles if their
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: muscles are feeling really tight and achy or arthritis too.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: If you get really stiff achy joints with arthritis, that's
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: where heat is really beneficial. And that's another one to do.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Twenty minutes on, twenty minutes off, twenty minutes on again.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: And we've talked numerous times about stretching and how important
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: that is. So if you're gonna be out doing yard work,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: gonna be out playing disc golf, kinda be out doing
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: whatever it is, might be regular golf, whatever it is
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: that you do. Before you do that for the first
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: time every year, you know, because we've been kind of
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: hibernating for a bit before you do that, stretching is
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: really important, isn't it.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Definitely. If there's anything I recommend my patients to do
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: more of, it's to get out and stretch more throughout
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: the day. Very nice.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: If somebody listening is saying, hey, I would like to
• 3:15
