  Speaker 1: Time out for back to the basics and health care
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: with Balance Life Chiropractic where with doctor Harley and winter
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: is definitely here. Now. Last time we talked, it had
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: been cold and we had like a little dusting of snow. Now, oh,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: it's more than a dusting.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we've got a little bit of snow and you know,
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: a little bit of ice from some of the melting. Yeah.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: And this is the time of year where you can
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: hurt your back by shoveling snow because you know, you're
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: twisting and turning and you're maybe lifting when you're not
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: used to that. But also even if you don't shovel,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: you can slip on the ice, twist and turn and
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: cost some issues with that too.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Right, I thought you it might be good to have
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: talk about like slips and falls. It's very common this
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: time of year, especially as you know, you get a
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: little bit iicier with that snow melt.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: And I've seen some video camera footage from like the
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: ring doorbells that has gone viral where people are slipping,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: and there was one that I was like, I don't
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: know how that was not done on purpose, but the
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: guy was like running in place and he just kept
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: running and run and then he finally fell, but it
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: was like a it was like a thirty second fall.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: That crazy. Like we watched those videos to like because
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: we know something bad's going to happen.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: That's why they share it. Nobody shares heyes, here's my
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: ring doorbell camera from Wednesday. Nothing happens for six hours,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: but enjoy right.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: And you know, regardless of you know, how you're walking,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: if you are you're like that guy running and you fall,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: or if you maybe just take a step and slip
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: and turn and fall, any sort of falls is not
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: gonna be great for our body because it's very jarring.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: You know. We hopefully land on our butts or our
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: bellies somewhere that's got a little bit more cushioning. That's
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: the best case scenario if we're gonna fall, you know,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Otherwise we always want to try to break our fall,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: so we put our hands out, which you're better off
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: not trying to catch yourself because that's how you can
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: really hurt your hands or break your wrist or your
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: arm or your shoulder. Yeah, it's yeah, that's why we
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: have a little more cushioning in on our butts or
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: land on the tush. Yeah, and you don't really want
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: to get some cush on your knees either, and you
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: can disscate your knee, hurts your knee, all sorts of
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: not so fun things. So even though it's not fun
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: to not catch yourself, your better off trying to not
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: catch yourself.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: And when it comes to ice, you don't even necessarily
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: have to fall because you could literally just slip and
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: like pull something, pull a muscle, or knock something out
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: of place, just slipping on the ice, right.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Trying to catch yourself from keeping you from falling. So
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: we always get this email from our apartment complex. Walk
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: like a penguin, but it's very true. When you have
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: to walk on ice is kind of that waddling point
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: your toes out a little bit more. It's gonna help
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: give you a little bit wider center of balance. So
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: it's going to help you maintain that balance a little
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: bit better.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: And then here's John's tip wear shoes that have some
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: sort of grip. I was out in my crocks. This
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: is a couple of years ago. That is a snow
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: and ice plus crocks.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Bad idea, unless I don't know, do they have off
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: roading winter.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I think they do. Yeah, my wife I no longer
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: have crocks. She's not a fan, but she made fun
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: of me for slipping on the ice in my crocks.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: She's like, you know, most people are smart enough to
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: not wear crocks in the winter.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: All the vans aren't necessarily the most grippy either.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I got my checkered vans and I wear
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: those year rounds, so you know what, they're better on
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: the ice in the crocks.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: You can get in some like those ice spikes for
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: if you put on the shoes. So yeah, if you're
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: really prone to slipping falling, have a lot of ice
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: where you're at getting shoes that have you know, you
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: can get like an ice spike attachment for your shoes.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that can help give you some more traction,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: or you're wearing more winter appropriate footwear that has some
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: more grip on it.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: If somebody's already done the slip and they have twisted
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: or they have fallen and they're not feeling great, chiropractic
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: might be able to help. If they got a feme
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: or poking out of the skin, that might not. But
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: if it's just a little twist or a little of that,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: they should stop and see you, and how do they
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: connect with you at Balance Life Chiropractic.
• 3:35

• 3:37

• 3:43
  Speaker 2: they say. If you feel like you have like like

  Speaker 2: you are concerned you might have a small fracture or
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: wrist or foot, that's where like urgent care is a
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: good spurt. Say, if you don't know where to go
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: after you fall, maybe take a quick check. Is anything
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: physically broken? Can you see it? Can you not walk?
