  Speaker 1: Time now for back to the basics of health care
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: with balanced life Chiropractic.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: We've got doctor Harley with us. Hello, doctor Harley, Hi John.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: I I think we're going to continue our conversation about
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Women's Health month.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: That's this month, right it is. Yeah, we talk about pregnancy.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: I mean that's a pretty big thing a lot of
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: women go through.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, and this is something that when you're going
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: through that, that's where you got to go. Do I
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: continue my chiropractic care. Is it still safe to see
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: a chiropractor when you're pregnant?
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, it's we encourage it, you know, staying with a
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: chiropractor or if you've never been to a chiropractor, going
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: to a chiropractor while you're pregnant. You know, it really
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: helps with so many aspects of just the pregnancy, you know,
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: being able to carry baby for nine months comfortably, let
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: alone when you get into delivery times. You know, there's
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: a lot of research that shows chiropractic can help decrease
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: delivery times and pain by up to forty percent. So,
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, like what mom doesn't want to know that
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: and have that going into having their baby.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: And this is one of those things that.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: You know, there's probably nothing else that can happen to
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: a woman besides pregnancy that's going to make a bigger
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: change in their body, is there.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: I don't think we truly understand the extent that, you know,
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: carrying a baby for nine months, delivering it, and then
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: raising said baby really does to them and women physically
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: as well as mentally. And I'm sure a lot of
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: moms out there taking them they're like, yeah, it's like
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: I kind of wish would have been more prepared for that.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: But you know, after one, everyone's like a pro right,
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: and husbands are like, are you sure you want another one?
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Like you remember how you were after the first?
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Ever?
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: I remember that, I don't think you ever want to
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: do that again.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: And then you want another one, and you know, someone
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: want to keep having more kids.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: And that's a testament to how awesome babies.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: Are and moms too.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I would say, yeah, absolutely awesome moms too. But it's
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: like the babies, they got to be pretty cool. Otherwise
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: mommy were like not worth it, never doing that again.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Well you've had two's?
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well I did. He did most of the work,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: So I mean that she did all of the work.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she did one hundred percent of the work.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: So air practic really just makes that whole process a
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: lot easier on the mom and on baby. You know,
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: thinking like every week of that forty weeks, a lot
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: is changing with that developing baby. Let alone, you know
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: how mom's carrying baby and you know, getting ready for
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: that big process of birth.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: And chiropractic is more than just your back. There's so
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: much more because that's one of those things where people
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: know how in the world is that connect to your back.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Chiropractic is overall body.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: It's everything right, And like structurally we look at pelvis
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: is a big one. I like to look at kind
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: of the pelvis and the womb and all of that
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: kind of like a giant hot air balloon. Stay with me.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: I know this might sound kind of weird to people,
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: but think of your pelvis as like the basket of
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: that hot air balloon and where baby's hanging out the womb.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: All of that is the hot air balloon itself, and
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: you have these tethers those are ligaments that attach to
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: the placenta, to the hips and all of that combined.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: So when our pelvis is out and twist it, it
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: actually kind of twists up those tethers up to that
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: hot air balloon. And while that's going to twist and
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: put some more pressure to the hot air balloon, well,
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: think about that growing baby. The more space we have
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: in that hot air balloon for a to expand and move,
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: more comfortable baby's going to be baby's being able to
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: get into optimal birth position, which is head down ideally. Now,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: when we have lesser room because those tethers are all
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: twisted up, the baskets not in the proper position, it
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: can affect how that baby's moving and having plenty of
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: room to move and grow and stretch and do all
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: those things. So as a chiropractor, we're adjusting the pelvis,
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: we are making sure that the baskets in proper alignment.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: We also check what's called the round ligaments. Those are
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: some of those tethers. You feel those in the belly
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: the women that start having kind of lower belly, paying
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: attention that a lot of times it's those round ligaments
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: are really tight, helping release set. All of that combined
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: is just going to help make sure there's plenty of
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: room in the womb.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: When you're working with a chiropractor. Then I suggest balance
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Life Chiropractic. You can help them go through this whole
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: process in a much better way.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Right even you know, from a moment of conception all
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: the way through delivery, post birth, you know, postpartum chiropractic
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: is a great thing to have and be doing through
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: that whole process.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: You don't need to be there for the moment of conception,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: you know, even.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Leading up to you know that part. You know, we
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: deal with a couple's dealing with infertility issues and things
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: like that, so kind of the whole process of you know,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: creating a baby.
