  Speaker 1: Time now for we're back to the basics in health
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: care with Balanced Life Chiropractic. I have doctor Harley with me.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Hello, doctor Harley, Hey John, Happy Spring.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And we're wrapping up Women's Health Month, and we've
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: been talking about a lot of women's health issues and
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: today we're going to talk about fibromyalgia, which men and
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: women can both get, but it's a little more prevalent
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: and women.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: You said, yeah, it is more likely women are diagnosed
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: with it than men are.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So I've heard of fibromyalgia, and I think I
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: know what fibermiologia is, but I would love to get
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: your definition of what that means, because I'm like, I
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: don't know for sure that I know. I think I know,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: but I don't know if I know.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: It's kind of a generic, you know, catch all term
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: for like a chronic pain does, like widespread muscule skeletal pain.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: There used to be like numbers attached that you had
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: fifteen or more pain spots that were always there. But
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: basically it's like widespread chronic pain that doesn't necessarily have
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: a specific rhyme or reason of why this person is
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: dealing with this chronic pain.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: And this isn't something really go, oh, just take one
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: of these Flintstone vitamins and you'll be fine.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Right, you know, I imagine they're probably on some pain
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: medication or muscle relaxers or you name it kind of stuff.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: But chiropractic can actually help with fibromiologia.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: And the thing that's cool about that chiropractic can help
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: with a lot of things. So again, when it comes
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: to pains in different places. You know, the thing that's
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: really cool, especially about the way you do it, because
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: you have all kinds of technology in your office, you
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: can kind of help pinpoint where do we need to
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: do things to help fix problems over here, because it's
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: not necessarily I have a pain right here, so that's
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: where the problem is. Sometimes it's elsewhere, isn't it right?
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: We're addressing, you know, widespread the nervous system, making sure
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: the whole body is working, not just chasing pain. And
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: the other nice thing is with our technique, it's very gentle.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: It's very minimally invasive, Like we're not you know, putting
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: you in a lot of different maneuvers and anything like that,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: and that can be hard for patients to have fibromologia
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: is even having someone touch them. So that's where this
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: gentle specific technique with torque release technique is great for
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: those fibro patients because they're not having to worry like, oh,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna hurt because you're touching me xyz. In this,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: you know, in a more of a broad area versus
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: the instrument is a very pinpoint specific area that we
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: are adjusting.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: And I really do love the torque relief method the
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: thing that you do because it is it's very specific
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: and every once in a while, like when I was
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: having some allergy issues a month ago, I just come in.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I say, doctor Harley, it needs you to punch me
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: in the face.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: That's probably not what most people say, is it.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: No, I mean not actually doing that. No, we've talked
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: about allergies. We can help release with that. So that's
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: a really great thing with tork release technique is we
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: can utilize it all over, you know, even the spine,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: the extremities, arms and legs, or even like your sinuses
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: and allergies that kind of stuff, and it's a lot
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: more accurate. Right, We're very able to be very pinpoint
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: and specific and adjust exactly what your body is needing
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: to be adjusted. Sometimes with manual adjusting, we almost adjust
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: too much and it can be too much for the
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: body and kind of overload and overwhelm the system. So
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: then that's where you see a lot of those flare ups,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: or you might feel worse after an adjustment because there's
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: almost too much for your body and we don't really
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: see that. With torque relief technique, it's a lot easier
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: for recovery after the adjustment.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: So what I would like to do right now is
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: appeal to anybody who if you personally have fibromialgia and
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: maybe you've tried chiropractic but you were like, oh, I
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: was in more pain when I left because you know
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: they did this other method. If that's you, I would
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: encourage you to reach out to balance life chiropractic. But
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: also if you have a loved one in your life,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: maybe there's somebody else that you know that they've even
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: said the words fibromiologia, or maybe they haven't said it.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: You know they have issues here, they have issues there.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: You might reach out to them and just say have
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: you ever tried chiropractic And if they say, well, I
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: tried it, and I was in more pain because, like
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: you were saying, it kind of hurts when people touch
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: you if you've got But this is a different method.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: So let them know that, hey, there's an option, check
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: it out because you could literally change your life, couldn't.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: They right, It's really impactful. I've had many patients that
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: have had fibro manager or they thought maybe they did
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: and they weren't diagnosed with it, but it was like
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: just very painful for them to be adjusted that this
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: technique really helped alleviate a lot of their issues.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: So if you think you've tried it all but you
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: haven't tried this, well you haven't tried this, So reach out.
