  Speaker 1: Time now for back to the basics and healthcare with
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: balanced Life Chiropractic. We're here with doctor Harley. Hello, doctor Harley,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: how are you, hey, John?
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: I'm doing great.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: We are almost into June. I can't believe that. So,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: like next time we talk, it's going to be June.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: It'll be after a Memorial Day. I mean, we were
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: cruising right into summer. And this is a time of
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: year when it feels like if you drive by any
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: baseball field or soccer field, or basketball court or tennis court,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: there's like people out there doing sports all the time,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: and from time to time, people will have a little
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: bit of a sports injury. And that is kind of
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: how you actually got involved in chiropractic in the first place,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: isn't it.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you remember I do. Yeah. I was a big
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: athlete through high school and even into college, so I
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: dealt with a lot of sports injuries, mainly lower like
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: ankles and knees.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: And you were a bull rider, right, just kidding, because
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I remember what you were. I just thought I would
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: throw that little again just to be salling. But let's
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: talk about the type of injury that you had.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I had an ankle injury, in softball. That
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: was the main one that really got me in sitting chiropractic.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Junior year of high school, playing were I was rounding
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: third base to go home and I remember stepping on
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: the base wrong and I actually sprained it inside and
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: outside my ankle, you know, kind of twisted both ways.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: So that's a pretty major injury. Lettlone, spraining your ankle
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: one way right, and at the time, you know, you're
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: only thinking about getting back into playing. Like for Iowa,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: the spring like end of May was like beginning of
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: our softball season, so that was the very beginning of
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: the season. To get injured, and you know, it's kind
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: of like, oh man, I don't want to deal with it.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: So I was going to the chiropractor. What I would have,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: you know, aches or pain. So I wasn't going really regularly,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: but I went to the chiropractor that week. My parents
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: were kind of mean and made me walk on it again.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: At the time, great because I was playing in a
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: week after this ankle injury, getting chiropractic, getting it, getting
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: it adjusted, walking on it, not babying it. Great now,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: looking back on it from like you know, the doctor
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: lens of things, like probably not the best. I'm sure
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: I very damaged my ankle. It needed time to rest.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: But so now you know, I still have ankle injuries
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: from time to time. It's definitely something you know, doing
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: more keeping up with like PT work, stretching exercises can
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: help with managing that. But so if you're a parent
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: and you're listening to this, you're like, oh, well, my
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: child just got injured. You know, we didn't really know
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: what to do. Should we go to the urgent care
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Should we go to the chiropractor pt I always think
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: chiropractor is a great place to start for sprains and
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: strains like that. Obviously, if they've a broken bone or
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: a torn you know, ACL or something, definitely go to
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: urgent care er. Do not come into my office with those.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: But yeah, like a simple sprain or strain, definitely we
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: can assess it if the joint needs to go back
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: into place. So in the case of my ankle, it
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: needed to go back into its proper alignment for it
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: to move properly. So if it had healed and I
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: hadn't gotten adjusted, my ankle problems would have been way
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: worse because nothing would have been moving like it was
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: supposed to. It would still be in the out of
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: alignment part of that injury.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: So it's it's a good first step, and it might
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: be the only step. If you come in here and
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: and this is something that you can fix with chiropractic,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: why wouldn't you start there?
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: You know, all of y'all don't think about it. You know,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I was going to the chiropractor a lot through high school,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: just for sports. So my parents already were like, Okay,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: we're going to take you the chiropractor, not the medical
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: doctor or the urgent. Can we you the chiropractor, get
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: adjusted and see what they have to say, because we
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: do a test and assessment, so if we do identify
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: that there is a tear, then we can actually send
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: you to the next step.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: So if it's a muscle thing and not a joint thing.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Right or I mean like an ACL tear or something
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: like that, if you have ligaments are strained or sprained,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: or if the joints out of a lane and just
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: needs an adjustment, you know a lot of hims that
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: can help clear up that injury a lot faster versus
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: if you know, you just go in a boot and crutches.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Very nice, and again that was a sports injury. That
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: was softball, but I was being silly when I said
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: bull riding. But somebody could probably put their back out
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: or do something with that or plan if they're playing
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: any kind of what you can think of. There's you know,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: when you're doing sports, there's a lot of physical activity
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: and that's where something could get jostled and there could
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: be an issue.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Right, So you know, having a chiropractor in mind when
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: you or your child get injured is never a bad thing.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: You know, It's a good place to start if you
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: aren't sure what the next step is because we can
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: all we can assess you see what's going on, and
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: if it's something we can take care of in the
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: office and we can do that. If it's somewhere okay,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: we need to send you out for more stuff, then
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: we can do that.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: And I'm not a real sports related gain. I don't
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: even watch it on TV. But here's where I'm at
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: in my life. I'm fifty and now I can literally
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: hurt my back like sneezing, So that's yeah.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's the weekend Warrior projects that you can
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: you know, throw your back out something like that.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: What happened, John? Do you hit by a truck. Now
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: I sneezed, and now I have to I can't wait
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: till let go see doctor Harley help me get back
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: in shape.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's never a bad time to see a chiropractor.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: I would say, of course, been going to a chiropractor
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: before an injury is a great thing because if you
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: do have a tweak or sprain, you can recall a
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: lot faster because you're already in proper alignment, your nervous
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: stems functioning better. We've talked a lot about.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and Heidi and I both have mentioned that
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: that is the way it is now because in the
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: past this spring, as we were getting the yard ready
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: and the things that we're doing, you know, we're kind
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: of dragging for a day or two. But boy, in
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: the past, if we hadn't been going to see a
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: chiropractor on a regular basis, that would have been a
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: week or two instead of a day or two.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, So it's your body heals much better when
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: you are under chiropractic.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Here, if somebody listening is going, Okay, this is something
