  Speaker 1: Time now for Back to the Basics in Healthcare with
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Balanced Life Chiropractic. We're here with Dr.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Harley.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: We're going to talk about T2 today, right?
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we are on thoracic segment number two.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: So when I was a kid, T2 went to Terminator 2.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: That was like the movie. They promoted it as T2.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: So when I see T2, I think of that. But
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: we're not going to talk about Terminator. We're going to
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: talk about your back. And the T2 is connected to
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: which areas of your body?
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: T1 and T2.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: See, I was going to throw in an I'll be
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: back joke, but I was trying to think of how
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: I would connect that to everything else because it's got
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: the word back in it and everything.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: So as we get through our thoracic spine, we actually
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: start seeing more organ issue as those nerves don't just
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: control all the muscles and sensory aspect, but also our
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: organ control and organ function. So T2 has nerve innervations
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: going to our heart, actually. So we can see high
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: and low blood pressure type issues, arrhythmias, That kind of stuff.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: We started thinking, oh, I didn't know my back could
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: cause heart problems.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: And that's important. Most people use their heart every day.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Right. Yeah, it's kind of a big, vital, important organ.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: It's a pretty important one.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so we have two types of our nervous system,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: and we've talked about this. We have the sympathetics, which
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: is kind of like the go, go, go aspect, and
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: we have the parasympathetics. So the parasympathetic, the slowdown aspect
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: of our heart, actually comes up from our brain, so
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: kind of C1, C2 area. That's the vagus nerve. Probably
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: heard of that one. So the thoracics is actually more
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: the sympathetic part of the nervous system, so the go, go,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: go aspect. So that's where we talk about we can
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: see heart problems and arrhythmia-type issues. If that area is overstimulated,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: it's constantly sending messages to your heart. So we can
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: see the elevated blood pressure. We can see a higher
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: heart rate as well.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Very nice. And that's the T2. And again, we're working
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: our way down the spine. We started at the very
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: top with C1. Are we going to L5 or are
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: we going further than that?
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about the sacrum and the coccyx as well.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: I don't know how to say those. Coccyx. That's fun
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: to say.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, we're going to work our way down. But
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: we're not even halfway. There's a lot involved when it
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: comes to the spine. There's a lot of different bones
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: and things connected there.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Right. There's 33 segments in our spine. So there's seven
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: in our neck. There's 12 in our thoracic spine. There's
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: five in our lumbar. And you're probably adding up. It's like, well,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: that's not 33. Well, our sacrum is broken up into
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: five segments, and our coccyx actually has three segments.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: She knows all this. She's not even reading notes. If
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: somebody listening is going, man, I am having some issues
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: that I could use some help with, whether it happens
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: to be their T2, which we're talking about today, or
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: if it's anywhere from the top all the way to
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the bottom. If they've got questions and they're going, hey,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I'm having this little issue. I'm not really sure if
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: it's connected. I encourage them to reach out to you
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: because that would be a good conversation. And I can
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: also tell you, if you go, I don't think that
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be able to help, she would do that.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: She would say that because she's awesome. But so many times,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I'm amazed at the things that are connected to your
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: spine and how many times that that could be the answer.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: How does somebody connect with you? How do they get
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: this whole process started to work with Balanced Life Chiropractic?
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's amazing how interconnected our body is. And it's
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: kind of mind-boggling how one little issue, T2, we're like,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: how is that going to affect my heart? How can
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: that have problems? And maybe you've never heard this kind
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: of thing before. And you're like, I want to know more,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: or maybe I have having heart issues and I want
• 3:17
