  Speaker 1: Time now for back to the basics and healthcare with
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Balanced Life Chiropractic and we have doctor Harley with us.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: How you doing, Hey, John, I'm doing great.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: You get a festive shirt on today, Santa Pause?
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: It is Christmas next week, I know. So yeah, we've
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: been a little festive in the office. Wear something Christmas, ye,
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: at least once a week.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: So we have been very fortunate this year to dodge
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: any like major horrible, terrible weather. We've had some cold
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: weather and this last weekend we got a little bit
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: of ice. It was slippery, and when we have that ice,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: it's always nice to talk about this because that's when
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: you experience slipping and sometimes you slip and fall. Sometimes
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: you just slip and slip, but when you slip, you
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: could also jerk something out a line of alignment. So
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: this is a good time year to know a little
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: bit about how to walk when you're out on the ice. Right.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a good winter reminder of, you know,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: being a little more cautious with.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Your footing and walk like a penguin.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I always say. So if you don't
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: know what that means, basically you just kind of stick
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: your toes out and then kind of waddle and being
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: more careful, you know, picking up your feet.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: It's a sexy look too, So just beware. All your
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: neighbors are going to go, oh, look at John over there,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: mister penguin man.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: They're probably like, oh, that's John doing that.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: No, it is something that makes a big difference because
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: you don't want to slip, and if you do slip,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: you don't want to fall. So this is the time
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: year you gotta be really careful. Yeah.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: I just heard a report on the radio this morning.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: I was I was driving into work. The American Medical
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Association or it was Insurance or something. Someone said, eight
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: hundred thousand people seek medical attention every year due to
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: slips and falls. Yeah, the vast majority of them being
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: in the winter months.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is the time of year when you know,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: in the summer there could be like wet grass that
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: you could slip on, but in the winter there's ice.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Everywhere, especially you know here in the Midwest we see
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: a lot more of that. And it's even more important
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: as you get older. So talking to people that are
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: sixty plus that especially women, you know, it's you know,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: breaking a hip or just a bone in general, is
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: a higher occurrence with these slips and falls in the wintertime,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: so you'll make sure you're eating more calcium based products.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: More vitamin D help boost your bone density. Even working
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: out can help with strengthen your bone density. And that's
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: even more important when we're younger, because we want to
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: build really strong bone density when we're younger, so that
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: as we get older we lose it a little bit slower.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: You're more prepared that way, right and you know you fall,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: so you fall, what's what's your next step? Right?
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Well, you know one obviously getting back up, but then
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: assessing you know what happened.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Are you hurt?
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Do you need to seek you know, major medical care,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: urgent care if if you aren't, if you didn't break anything,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: urgent care is just fine. You know, they would appreciate
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: you not going to the emergency room if you you know,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: have a slight bruise or something like that. But even
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: chiropractic and maybe you're not think, oh, I should go
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: see my chiropractor right away. Maybe you don't have a
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: chiropractor and didn't know that you should see chiropractic care
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: after a fall.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Make sure everything is in alignment and still still good.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Right, because, like John said, you know, even if you
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: don't hurt yourself, you know, break something, bruise something, twists something,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: that jerk still could have thrown things out of alignment.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: And you're gonna notice that maybe in a month or
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: two from now, because it's been stuck and it's just
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: kind of getting worse and worse and worse and worse.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: So it's easier to get us asked, get checked out,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: you know quick soon after a fall, to make sure
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: that everything is healing properly and that you can get
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: back to your you know, Christmas shopping and enjoy your
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: holidays without dealing with that slipper fall pain.
• 3:18

• 3:20
