  Speaker 1: Time.
• 0:00
  Speaker 2: Now we're back to the basics in healthcare with balanced
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Life Chiropractic and we're here with doctor Harley and I
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: bet I know what we're going to talk about today.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Well, we are on week seven of doing this series
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: seven seas or C Seven's what we're going to talk
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: about today seven.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: So now this is the last of the seas and
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: then we get into the t's. So let's tease the
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: tea's a little bit here. What's the difference between the
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: seas and the.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: T's area of the spine, so just low.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: We're lower, But do you know why they divided it?
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: There is there a specific thing like this is the
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: upper back and the lower back?
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Is it? Well, when you look at the curvature of
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: the spine, the neck is kind of more of a
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: C shaped curve or a banana shaped curve, and that's
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: what hold their head up. The thoracic spine or the
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: T spine is curve the other direction, so that's what
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: gives us, you know, the mobility to lean forward. So
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: that's really kind of the biggest difference in them is
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: where they're located, what their mobility movement is, the shape
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: of them are different because of the different types of mobility.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: So on our neck we have a lot of range
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: of motion. The thoracic spine we do have quite a
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: bit range of motion, but just not quite as much,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: and then we get more rotation and our lumbar spine.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: So the te stands for thoracic Yes, So is there
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: a thoracic park. No, probably not.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I do know a lot of chiropractors that use that
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: as like a Jurassic Park theme. They call it Welcome
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: to Thoracic min I'm.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Just saying we need to make money. So let's talk
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: were again. That was a little teas for the teas,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: but we're gonna get back to the seas now.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Seven C.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: We don't want to leave seven C or C seven
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: alone because this one's important too.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Isn't it Right. It's at the very base of our neck,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: so it does take a lot of the brunt of
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: all of our headweight neck weight, and that's a big
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: motion area again because that's the right at the base
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: of our neck, at the top of our upper back.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: So if you were to feel behind your neck and
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: you feel kind of a bomb right at the top
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: of your shoulders, that's gonna be right where.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: C seven is okay, and I see over here that
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: that can be one of the contributing factors for like colds.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: So we have like thig bursas and the shoulders or
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: just shoulders kind of in general, we get more into
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: the elbows, we see more births. Siitis type issues can
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: be effected with C seven mis alignment. Our thyroid thymus
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: is a big part of our Our thyroid and our
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: thymis are a big part of our immune system. So
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: that's where we can see it related to colds as
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: well as like sore throats, that kind of stuff.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I skipped this word because I didn't know what
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: bursiitis was. I don't know how to say it, but
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: I heard you say it, So what the heck is burth'siitis?
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: So burst side bursa our little fluid filled sacks in
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: a lot of our joint spaces where the bony parts
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: of our joints would be kind of pushing on top
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: of each other or there's a lot of movement through there,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: so it's kind of like extra cushion in the joint space.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Nice, very nice. So again C seven, we're at the
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: very base of the neck and again it's last but
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: not least. This is probably a pretty important thing, isn't
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: it right.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: There's a couple of different sections in our spine along
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the way they're like, oy, this is a really important spot.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: We talked about one and two. Our neck. C. Seven's
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: another one of those, just because we have the top
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: and the bottom part of our neck. It's a big
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: transition zone between the neck and the upper back. So
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: this one is also where we have a lot of
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: connection points with ligaments and tendons in our neck. So
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: when we lift our head back, a lot of those
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: muscles and tendons are connected to the base of C. Seven.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: So it's a little bit longer, a little bit bigger
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: than some of the other neck bones because it does
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: play a bigger part in muscle movement.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: So if somebody is experiencing like this time of year
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: is summer cold, I guess in the regular part of
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: the year, just be a cold. This I see, since
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: it's connected to colds, this could actually be something that
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: you could adjust to maybe help that move along a
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: look quicker.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: We've talked a lot of just adjusting our nervous system
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: in general, and our spine really does help with our
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: building our immune system and helping get over cold and
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: flues much much faster.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Another way to get rid of that cold is just
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: give it to your wife. That's what I did. I
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: had a cold last week. Now Heidi has a cold,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: so she complains, I don't give her anything.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: So there you go. I got it.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: If somebody listening is going, hey, I really do have
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: some issues that maybe could be connected to C seven.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: If they come in and talk to you, they don't
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: have to necessarily mention where the issue is, but if
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: they talk to you about it, you can kind of
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: help them figure it out and hopefully put a plan
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: together to solve that problem for them, right for sure.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: And then that's you know, just sending on talking with us.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: As we're going through this series, people might realize, like
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I didn't realize chiropractic could help with something like this
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: or this specific because there are a lot of different
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: things that we don't necessarily relate to our spine, but
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: all those nerves are important, so you don't have to
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: know exactly what's going on with you where it's going on.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: That's kind of my job is to put all the
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: pieces of the puzzle together and figure Okay, what's going
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: on and what are we going to be able to
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: do to help you live your best and healthiest life.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: And I love that we're going through this and kind
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: of sharing a little bit of it with us. Again,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: we can't tell everything because that would take you took
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: years of training, but to go through in a five
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: minute radio program and podcast, I think it's kind of
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: fun to kind of let us peak behind the curtain.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: If somebody listening is going, hey, I would like to
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: come in and maybe have an adjust meant or find
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: out if chiropractic is right for me. What is the
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: best way to connect with you?
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Well, you got to get a new patient appointment schedule,
• 5:05
