  Speaker 1: Time now for Back to the Basics in Healthcare with
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Balanced Life Chiropractic. And we are working our way through
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: the spine. I bet you know where we're going to
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: go next, don't you?
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, take a guess, John.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: T8, am I right?
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we did do T7 last week.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: We are working our way through. And I see on
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: here it just says spleen. Is that a real thing?
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Are you not familiar with what the spleen is?
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: I thought that was just from cartoons. Ah, I'm right
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: in the spleen.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: No, we do actually have a spleen.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: So what does the spleen do?
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: So the spleen is big in the immune system and
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: recycling blood cells. And it's like kind of on the
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: left side of our body around our stomach area.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: So I have a spleen.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: You have a spleen.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: This whole time I didn't even know that.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: I should take better care of my spleen apparently. So
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: what happens if I have issues with my spleen?
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: One really well-known thing that people can like. So one
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: thing with the spleen is people that get mono, we
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: can actually see spleen inflammation and enlargement. So you hear
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: that with athletes and stuff. If you had mono, you
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: need to sit out of practice for a little bit.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: because it's affecting your spleen. And the last thing you
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: want is a ruptured spleen.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: Well, I didn't even know you could do that.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: That's why.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: And I, so this, this also has to do with
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: your immune system then?
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Right. Yeah.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: So big on the immune system, helping to fight all
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: the bugs and germs. And so that's where, you know,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: talking about mono and the spleen, they kind of go
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: hand in hand because of the immune system.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: Very good.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: So again, this is not something that I probably, I
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: didn't even know I had a spleen until a minute ago,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: so I'm going to have to get acquainted. But how
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: would I know that I'm having issues with my spleen?
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Is there something that I'm going to notice that, oh, hey,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: it's this or it's this that's usually leading to that?
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: You could see it more as if you're like sick
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: all the time, you know, kind of chronically sick or
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: like your kids are getting sick all the time, just
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: more immune depletion more so than the actual spleen itself.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: So we've talked a lot on this channel about how
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: chiropractic helps with building the immune system, helping us to
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: fight bugs and germs, which is huge this time of year.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: I kind of get in a little bit of a cold, so.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: you know, just the depressed immune system. We're inside more often.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: We're getting into more of the sugar and candy and
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: holiday seasons. So a lot is bogging down the immune
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: system at this time.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Like I've always said, you need to take better care
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: of your spleen. So I've never said that.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: If somebody listening is going, hey, you know, I do
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: have some issues with this or with that. And they
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: think maybe it's the spleen that even if they don't
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: call and say, hey, doc, I've got a problem with
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: my spleen. If they're having some sort of issue that
• 2:24
