  Speaker 1: Time now for back to the basics and healthcare with
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: balanced Life Chiropractic. I'm here with doctor Harley and I
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: get to say some fun words today, don't I.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're going a little more science, doctor neuroplasticity?
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: Did they say right? Can I see? I said it
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: nine hundred times in my head. First I figured I'd
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: get it wrong, but I got it right.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Yay.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: I pronounced things a little weird sometimes.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's okay.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: So what the heck is neuroplasticity?
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: And you're probably not the only one asking that question, yeah.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Because I'm sure there's probably somebody on I'm pretty sure
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: John said it wrong because that doesn't sound right.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: But what is that? So when we talk about nervous system,
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: and we've talked a lot about how when we adjust
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: someone it's affecting their nervous system. So there's a lot
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: of research and the researcher in particular is doctor Heidi Havoc.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: She's a New Zealander. Okay, so that's why I just
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: got made a little bit of a funny last name.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: I like it, doctor Heidi Havock.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: She's really big on the neural lens with chiropractic and
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: looking at what is the adjustment actually doing. And that's
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: where we talk about neuroplasticity. So it's how your brain
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: is able to adapt to life and stressors through our
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: nervous system. So plasticity you kind of think flexibility, you know,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: being able to go with the flow kind of thing. Yeah,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: maybe I'm a little bit simpler. So think of all
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: the things you have going on in your day to day.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: You know, we've talked about stress a lot, how that
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: affects things, and you know, everything just kind of bogs
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: down our system. Well, that makes it a lot harder
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: for our brain and nervous system to go with the flow,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: and that neuroplasticity kind of takes a hit and it's
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: not working as easily or adjusting or overcoming those obstacles
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: as easily. So when we are adjusting the spine, we've
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: kind of talked about this with like the electrician and
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: the circuit boards and all those kinds of things, Right,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: we're kind of readjusting or fixing that fuse that is broken.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: That's kind of the same thing. That's what we're doing
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: with the adjustments, is we're fixing those parts that aren't
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: communicating with your brain. So restoring that neuroplasticity and.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: That helps this communicate with this I'm pointing that doesn't
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: really translate to the radio. So it helps your brain
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: connect with like your foot and your leg and your
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: back and all the different parts of your body. It's
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: that connection between them, and that's what neuroplasticity is kind
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: of doing, right.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: You know, the one we're trying to correct, that neuroplasticity
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: between the brain and the body. One of the studies
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: that she had focused on was stroke patients. And I know,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: people like, oh, strokes, chiropractors. What's going It's not chiropractors
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: causing the strokes. It's a chiropractor seeing a patient after
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: a stroke so they've had one, and people like, oh,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: you should never go to chiropractor ever again, Well, actually,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: what they're seeing is restoring of bodily function, mental function, communication,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: motor mobility, muscle movement. Seeing how that can change with
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: a chiropractic adjustment very nice. And with this study they
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: saw a huge improvement with these stroke patients.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: In their neuroplasticity, right, because.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: That's connect the brain back to those muscles in different
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: areas that we lose with having a stroke.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: Very nice.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Well, if somebody listening is having issues, whether it's with
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: neuroplasticity or something completely different, to see away, it sounds
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I can say it now, what is the best way
• 3:02

• 3:09
  Speaker 3: It and let us know. I didn't keep track. It
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: was a few. But I mean it's a fun word, right.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I just wanted to say it because I learned a
• 3:17
