BalancedLifeChiropractic-EP179 - Nice Introduction to BLC · Back To The Basics In Healthcare

• 0:00
  Time now for back to the basics and healthcare with Balanced Life Chiropractic, and
• 0:03
  we have doctor Harley. How are you doing, Doctor Harley? Hey John,
• 0:06
  it's good to be back. I hope everyone had a great fourth and
• 0:09
  are coming back from their certifications or maybe they're going on their next one.
• 0:13
  And you did a little camping, is that right? Yeah? We went
• 0:15
  down to Stone State Park down by Sioux City. It's a really nice park.
• 0:19
  It's kind of like a Newton Hills, Like don't about a Canton.
• 0:21
  It's kind of like that, but just down a little bit farther. Nice,
• 0:24
  very cool, and a lot of people get a lot of sun.
• 0:27
  I don't know if you tell them, well, yeah, you're looking a
• 0:29
  little tan, a little darker than we were last time we chatted. This
• 0:33
  time of year, people do spend a lot of time outside, but I
• 0:36
  want to spend all the time talking about Balance Life Chiropractic. Because how long
• 0:39
  have you guys been here? Now? Almost four years. We opened it
• 0:41
  September of twenty twenty, so it's crazy to think it's been such a long
• 0:45
  time, but also it feels like a short amount of time too. And
• 0:48
  we started working together shortly after that. So we've been doing this for a
• 0:52
  bit now, yeah, twenty one. So you've been hearing us talk about
• 0:55
  some different things how chiropractic can help with various different things. But I want
• 0:59
  to take some time just to talk a little bit about us. You hear
• 1:02
  us talk every Wednesday, and you might not know much about us. So
• 1:06
  I'm doctor Harley Martin Moss and me and my husband Weston. We opened our
• 1:10
  office together, so we're a husband wife duo running the scene. A lot
• 1:14
  of people ask us, how can you work together? You know, I
• 1:15
  do all the the adjusting, all the patient care. He does all of
• 1:19
  the bookwork and you know, paperwork and phone calls and stuff like that.
• 1:23
  So if you call in usually you're gonna end up talking to him. He's
• 1:26
  super nice. Yeah, he loves to talk and chat. So he's a
• 1:30
  good dude. I really like that. But it's been a lot of fun.
• 1:32
  You know. Our goal really has always been about just helping our patients
• 1:36
  to understand more about what's going on with them. They walk in they've got
• 1:40
  X y Z, back pain, headaches, you know, you name it,
• 1:42
  all these different things going on. And you know, when you go
• 1:45
  into a doctor's office, the first time. You're always like, oh,
• 1:48
  I don't really know what to expect, You're nervous, You like, am
• 1:51
  I in the right place? So we try to make it a really warm,
• 1:53
  calming and welcoming environment, just you know, especially something that's new to
• 1:57
  chiropractic and maybe they've heard all the bad things about chiropractors, you know,
• 2:01
  just to help reassure them, answer any questions that they have about chiropractic and
• 2:07
  care and you know, especially you know, their aches and pains that are
• 2:08
  going on and how we can help them. And one of the things that
• 2:13
  I thought was pretty impressive when we first went through the process with you is
• 2:15
  there's a level of education, because I think that's important to know what's going
• 2:21
  on. But I remember you're even talking about like the founder of chiropractic,
• 2:24
  which is kind of cool. Yeah, do you remember his name Palmer?
• 2:28
  Yeah, that is Palm. Yeah, there's two of them, so doctor
• 2:30
  DEDE. Palmer. Yeah, it was the founder of chiropractic in eighteen ninety
• 2:35
  five. I paid attention, not that close. Yeah, I'm most going
• 2:38
  to know Palmer Chiropractic College. That's where chiropractic really got it start. That's
• 2:40
  actually where I went to school. So it's really nice being able to like
• 2:46
  trace your roots back to where chiropractic started, and that's in Iowa and Davenport,
• 2:50
  Iowa. But it's been nothing but up since we started. It's been
• 2:53
  a lot of fun getting to take care of people of all walks, alive
• 2:57
  moms, dads, kiddos, grandparents, athletes, pregnant moms. We just
• 3:01
  kind of see anybody and everybody and our goal really is just to help them
• 3:06
  heal from the inside out. You'll really get into the root cause of their
• 3:09
  health problem. If somebody maybe has been listening for a bit and they're going
• 3:13
  I kind of feel like, I know this doctor lady that I hear on
• 3:16
  Wednesdays, if they would like to come in and just see if this is
• 3:20
  the right fit, because there are a lot of different types of chiropractically,
• 3:23
  and I really like this. Again, it seems to me that it's a
• 3:27
  little more educated. It's not just I'm gonna, you know, twisty until
• 3:30
  you pop. There's some scans and there's some things that are done that a
• 3:34
  lot of technology that you don't necessarily see everywhere. But I like that,
• 3:37
  and I don't know that necessarily list what everybody likes, but for people who
• 3:39
  want to maybe come in and check it out, what does the process look
• 3:42
  like. Yeah, so I can start with a phone call. You know,
• 3:45
  you got to get a new patient appointment scheduled with us, so then
• 3:46
  we know when you're coming in and get your paperwork filled out. We'll give
• 3:51
  you a quick tour of the office so you know where everything is, so
• 3:53
  every time you come in, like, you know where the bathrooms are has
• 3:57
  always the weirdest thing when you walk into a place to bathroom, but I
• 4:00
  don't know how to ask, so awkward. You're like, yeah, we'll
• 4:01
  show you where everything is. You know, we're going to walk you through
• 4:04
  a thorough health consultation. We need to know a little bit about you before
• 4:08
  we start to figure out how to work on your health problem. Little education
• 4:13
  about you, know how your body works, how chiropractic helps with how your
• 4:15
  body works, because a lot of people don't really know much about it.
• 4:18
  You know, you go to a chiropractor, but you might not really know
• 4:20
  what is chiropractic actually doing for me exactly. And we'll do some scans.
• 4:25
  We have some technology in our office to help kind of pinpoint where those underlying
• 4:29
  issues are stemming from. So you actually get a picture of your nervous system,
• 4:32
  your muscle system, your skeletal systems. See, okay, we can
• 4:35
  see all these different things going on, and that's relating to why you're experiencing
• 4:39
  the things that you're experiencing. And then after that we'll put together, you
• 4:43
  know, a custom treatment options, like this is what it's going to take.
• 4:46
  You know, you're you're here. We're trying to get to, you
• 4:47
  know, somewhere else. So it's kind of like a roadmap. This is
• 4:49
  what it's going to take. This is how much you need to come in
• 4:51
  right away, go over costs for care, and then get you adjusted.
• 4:56
  So it's like it's a little bit slow over a process, but we want
• 4:58
  to make sure that comfortable with everything. And the scans kind of reminds me
• 5:03
  of like if my car the check engine light comes on, I can go
• 5:06
  and have somebody like just change things until it goes off. Or I can
• 5:11
  have them plug in a little device and go, oh, hey, the
• 5:13
  sensor says this is the problem, and then they fix the one thing,
• 5:16
  rather than hey, we're going to just keep changing things till that thing goes
• 5:19
  off. You know, you could do it both ways and again, if
• 5:21
  you want to have every part under the hood changed until the light goes off,
• 5:26
  that's up to you. For me, I would rather have them find
• 5:28
  out what the problem actually is and fix that. And I think the scan
• 5:30
  process you guys do is similar to that. Yeah, it's it's kind of
• 5:33
  a diagnostic of your nervous system, muscles. There's nothing plugged into you.
• 5:36
  It just reads like your body temperature on your longer spy. You know,
• 5:42
  it's reading your muscle activities, all electrical currents. I kind of like an
• 5:45
  EKG so I said, it's similar, it's not exactly the same. Nothing's
• 5:47
  put into you. It's not painful. Am I a little cold? Or
• 5:51
  ticklish? Oh? It is ticklish. I laugh every time. If somebody
• 5:55
  would like to stop in and see you again. It starts with phone call,
• 5:59
  make an appointment? What is that? What is the number? And
• 6:00
  how do they get hold of you? Yeah, give us a call at
• 6:02
