- 0:00Speaker 1: Time out for back to the Basics and Healthcare with
- 0:02Speaker 1: Balance Life Chiropractic. Hello, doctor Harley, how are you?
- 0:04Speaker 2: Hi? John, I'm doing good and.
- 0:05Speaker 1: You I'm fantastic. And we're going to talk about chiropractors
- 0:08Speaker 1: and who they are and what they do. Now we're
- 0:10Speaker 1: going to just kind of for folks that, you know,
- 0:12Speaker 1: I'm sure there are a lot of people that have
- 0:13Speaker 1: seen chiropractice, but if they've never actually been under chiropractic care,
- 0:18Speaker 1: they might go, well, I don't know what they do,
- 0:20Speaker 1: or they might even have misconceptions of what you do. Do
- 0:22Speaker 1: You have people that come in and go, oh, you
- 0:24Speaker 1: guys do this, don't you, And they're like not even close.
- 0:26Speaker 2: Right, because they watch the YouTube videos or the tiktoks
- 0:30Speaker 2: you know, coming thing, and that's what it's going to be.
- 0:32Speaker 2: Or maybe they're they don't go because that's what they're
- 0:34Speaker 2: afraid is going to be.
- 0:35Speaker 1: Like some guy's going to jump on me and make
- 0:37Speaker 1: me snap and crackle and pop, and that's not necessarily
- 0:40Speaker 1: the way everyone does this.
- 0:42Speaker 2: Maybe not quite that extreme. I tend to not watch
- 0:44Speaker 2: those videos as they are slightly terrifying because they do
- 0:48Speaker 2: it for the likes they do it for the views.
- 0:50Speaker 2: They got the mic right next to the person's You
- 0:53Speaker 2: hear those pops really loud, and our body doesn't make
- 0:56Speaker 2: that loud of noises by any means, and then.
- 0:59Speaker 1: They can go in and enhanced that sound and crank
- 1:00Speaker 1: it way up right.
- 1:02Speaker 2: So no chiropractic can actually be very gentle. You know,
- 1:05Speaker 2: a lot of my patients they are more relaxed when
- 1:08Speaker 2: they get adjusted. We use more instrument based adjusting versus
- 1:12Speaker 2: the big snap crackle pops, which are very effective, but
- 1:15Speaker 2: with instrument adjusting, it's a lot more precise. It's very
- 1:19Speaker 2: gentle as we're adjusting exactly where your body's you know,
- 1:23Speaker 2: needing to be adjusted, and with the instrument we're able
- 1:25Speaker 2: to be very specific versus sometimes their hands. You know,
- 1:28Speaker 2: we're touching a couple of different areas at the same time.
- 1:30Speaker 2: So I've had a couple of patients recently they're like,
- 1:33Speaker 2: I don't like who my neck gets cracked. And so
- 1:36Speaker 2: this type of adjusting is actually really great for patients
- 1:39Speaker 2: like that, as we're not doing the twisting, pulling, cracking, crunching.
- 1:43Speaker 2: We're doing all the adjusting you know, to you while
- 1:45Speaker 2: you get to just lay there and relax.
- 1:48Speaker 1: It feels a little more fine tuned to me.
- 1:50Speaker 2: Right, that's a good way. Look. I always kind of
- 1:52Speaker 2: look at it as a kind of a sniper rifle
- 1:53Speaker 2: approach versus a shotgun. We're able to really be pinpoint specific.
- 2:01Speaker 2: By doing that, we're able to really be less is more.
- 2:05Speaker 2: And when it comes to our nervous system, we've talked
- 2:07Speaker 2: about that over the years, that we're trying to calm
- 2:09Speaker 2: down the nervous system. Sometimes if we adjust too much,
- 2:12Speaker 2: it can over excite the nervous system. So we're really
- 2:15Speaker 2: trying to calm things down, and by being very precise
- 2:18Speaker 2: with our adjusting, that's one good way of doing that.
- 2:21Speaker 1: Now, chiropractic has been around for a bit and it's
- 2:25Speaker 1: from not too far from here, isn't it.
- 2:28Speaker 2: Yeah. Eighteen ninety five was the first chiropractic adjustment by
- 2:32Speaker 2: doctor DEDE. Palmer, and that happened actually in Davenport, Iowa.
- 2:36Speaker 1: And there are people that are chiropractice all over the
- 2:39Speaker 1: world now, but many of them got their start in
- 2:41Speaker 1: Iowa and then kind of expanded out from there.
- 2:43Speaker 2: Right because Palmer cart right, because Palmer College with Chiropractic
- 2:48Speaker 2: was the first chiropractic school, so everyone kind of got
- 2:51Speaker 2: their start from there, and then they branched out and
- 2:54Speaker 2: started their own chiropractic schools or took their teachings to
- 2:57Speaker 2: other countries. So it's really cool to see how how
- 3:00Speaker 2: much the profession has spread in the last you know,
- 3:02Speaker 2: what was it, one hundred and twenty five years.
- 3:04Speaker 1: I think we're at and the thing that's neat again,
- 3:07Speaker 1: if this is something that you've never experienced before, but
- 3:09Speaker 1: you're going, hey, I'd kind of like to check into this.
- 3:12Speaker 1: It's not like when they walk in they have to
- 3:13Speaker 1: sign up to be a client for the next fourteen years.
- 3:16Speaker 1: They can literally come in and say, hey, I want to
- 3:18Speaker 1: see if this is the right thing for me, and
- 3:19Speaker 1: then if it is, they can continue to work with.
