  Speaker 1: Time now for back to the basics and healthcare with
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Balanced Life Chiropractic. Hello, doctor Harley, how you doing?
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Hey John, I'm doing great.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: I'm excited to chat today. We're gonna talk about extremities,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: which that's again not a word that I usually use.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: But you were talking about adjusting my knee, and then
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: you said, have we ever talked about extremities? Right, this
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: is my first extremities conversation.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: We've been using some fancy words lately.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: I know I'm learning stuff, but you know, it's.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: All good things.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: You probably hear that in you know, a radio ad
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: or a commercial, or you're like, what is that? When
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: we're talking about extremities, we're talking about your arms and
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: your legs.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Yes, so your your knees, your elbows, your you know
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: those the falangies, your little fingers. Is that the right word?
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Flanges? Is there?
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: She looked very impressed when I said falanges. Would toes
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: also be flangies?
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: They are there?
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: You go? So those are you like? Your your your
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: foot fingers? Are your toes? Your flangies? But let's talk
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: about the extremities, which which extremity gets the most attention
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: at a chiropractic office, because like, you adjusted my knee.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Is that kind of the common thing or is it
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: elbows or shoulders or fingers.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: That's a good question. I haven't really thought about that.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: If there's a particular joint like outside the spine that
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: I adjust more.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, knees are pretty common. I do adjustknees quite
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: a bit.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: And this is not the first time you've adjusted my knee.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: And this one is because I slept wrong, right, I
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: seriously didn't do any I woke up this morning and
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I'm like, why is my right knee hurt?
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: And it might have been something you did the day before,
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: like probably you step funny, you're twisted funny.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: And then you know he was trying to outrun hideast
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: to get out of her reach so she couldn't smack me.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Not best, it's probably what it was. But I'm just
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: I only say that because she's sitting right.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Behind me, so she's always listening.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: I just want to make sure people know that's why
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: I'm saying it, because she's right here. But no, this
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: is one of those things that when you've done it
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: in the past. I one time, I like twisted my
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: whole leg and then my knee was kind of jacked up,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: and when I came in, you were able to adjust
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: my knee and then it got better, like right away.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: So that's is that pretty common?
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, just like all the joints in our body,
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: they can get out of alignment, and that alignment's very
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: important because that's how they're supposed to move, that's how
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: they're designed to move. They have the proper cushionings for
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: the way they're supposed to be, so when they get
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: shifted out of alignment, it's going to affect how that
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: joint's moving. It's gonna affect all the muscles around that joint.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: So then you know, we could adjust your knee and
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: they're like, well, my leg muscles have been starting her well, yeah,
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: they've been compensating for that knee being out of alignment.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: So now we put it back where it's supposed to be.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Your muscles are like, whoa, we just got used to
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: this new location. Now you're going back to this one.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: You know, change is kind of hard, and when we
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: get used to it, it makes it harder to go
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: back to how it's supposed to be.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Absolutely made me think of karate kid. Mister Miyagi. He
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: smacked his hands together and rubbed them really hard, and
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: then he adjusted. I think it was Daniel's knee.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Do you ever do that? No? Sorry, no, that's okay.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: So in addition to nies, how about elbows? Is that
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: something where you're like some they can mess up their elbow?
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you can. We work on a lot of elbows.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: It could be from a sports injury. It could be
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: from sitting at a desk, you know, because your elbows
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: are bent all day, they get sort of picking something.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: We just wrists, shoulders, ankles.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Heads, shoulders, knees, and toes.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all of it.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Adjusted toes, fingers.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Anytime a joint goes out of alignment, and we can
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: work to put it back in its proper alignment.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: And sometimes people probably don't even realize that's what it
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: is because they're like, I'm stiff and I'm sore, and
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I've got this problem, but they didn't realize that that's
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: where the problem was, because sometimes the pain shows up
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: and into a different place, doesn't.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: It right, You know, your knee problem could actually be
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: causing your hip issue, or your hip issue could be
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: causing your knee problem, because you know that they're weight bearing.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: They're load bearing, and as you're walking, that's going to
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: affect your git. So that could be something as simple
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: as we need to put your knee back in alignment
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: and that will help with your low back pain.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: And we recently traveled, so being squished into an airplane
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: probably doesn't help, doesn't definitely.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: I know my knees and upper neck are always in
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: a funk after flying.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: And we were in Las Vegas. We walked nine thousand miles.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: That's a thing, you know, my pedometer set.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: So that could be a little bit, you know, just
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: like the overused because we don't.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Walk that much.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: We do not walk much in our normal life, but
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: then we travel, we tend to walk a lot.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Every room we had was at the end of the hall,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: and it was like we had to walk a long
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: ways for everything. But when when you're doing that, when
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: you're you know, walking a whole lot, or in my situation,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: probably being scrunched into the seat, how long does it
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: usually take for people to realize there's an issue, Like
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I noticed mine on Monday, but I was having pain
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: probably from stuff that happened over the weekend.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Is that kind of common, you know, that's a good
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: question that it's I think it's hard to pinpoint exactly
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: how long it would take for someone to know. Some
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: people are very in tune with their body, so they
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: noticed those slight shifts or changes really quickly, and other
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: people are like, oh, my knee's a little sort, it's fine,
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: I'll deal with it later. We ignore those things. It's
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: not so bad yet, and then you know, a couple
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: months later, like, wow, my knee is really hurting.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: What did I do? I didn't do And I'll ask them,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: so anything new lately?
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: No, nothing really, And maybe it was something months ago
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: that they forgot about.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I played racketball once. That was in third grade, though,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: So is that.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you had a serious injury in third
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: grade that twisted your knee up and and you know
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: affected it all these years later. I mean, I have
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: a lot of sports injuries from basketball with my knees
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: that you know. Now. I don't play basketball, but I
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: still will have knee problems because of injuring myself in
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: high school.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: There you go, And we should probably listen to our
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: bodies more often, shouldn't we.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: Definitely they tell us a lot of things if we
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: pay attention.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: So if you got something that's a little bit of
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: an inconvenience right now, if you listen to it, you
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: might be able to get ahead of it and doctor
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Harley can help you get that adjusted before it becomes
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: a big problem. And so what is that like to
• 5:28
