Hi I'm Dr David Warwick of Warwick Chiropractic.
We have Ky here and Ky is MMA fighter and he enjoys it, but it's more of a discipline for him,
he had shared with me and he was experiencing some hip pain. And I want to share with you that a lot of times when you're having pain in the hip, the knee
the foot, the shoulder, elbow or hand. A lot of times it originates in the spine. So as a chiropractor, that's where we started
working with him first and that was mainly, he has seen the difference, the pain he was experiencing there, and I said
hey, its origins is over back down in here to the lower back, so we started addressing that.
So I'll share with you just a part of his adjustment, I would say a good experience for you so far?
This is going to be number 3 visit.
He noted and said to me it's lasted well the last treatment, a lot longer, so...
People that are definitely, and I can see this now with our atheletes, people that invest in their health it's so much easier
working with them. Already, he's starting now. So one of the things that as chiropractors we look for is
the inbalance in the leg, so we he lays down I've seen like just a 1/4" difference, in the leg length so we use that as a basis for what we are doing in our adjustment.
It's just 1/4", so a lot less stress than when we first started.
We talked about his posture, and we talked about the alignment in his neck, his mid back and his lower back.
A little bit of restriction there, but a big improvement from day 1.
So that's the sacrum area.
We're going to open this side joint up, we're going to adjust it with the drop piece.
Lot better, a lot stronger.
One I used the drop to help it initiate the process into aligning that area, so then I started with the instrument and moving and shifting this primary bone
It's called the sacrum and there are 5 pair of nerves that come out of here and part of the sacral plexus.
And a good portion of this lower back communicates the to the leg in part to do that kind of motion.
And then on the ending part there, adjusting his left hand side joint while he was taking that motion to help initiate and move that area a little bit more.
It helps reinforce the adjustment. You'll notice when you watch my videos, there are series of different things I do with patients.
That's just part of reading the patient, getting to know them and how their bodies work.
We're going to start with a little bit of the traction here...
Bring that up, I like to stretch the spine up the joints, the ligaments, the tendons, low back...
So you can feel low pull and bringing the height of the table up and we're going to lower this so he's going to get a little bit of a pull right there.
Gentle traction, lower back.
We're just going to go across the mid back, or what we call the dorsal area.
Little bit of stretch in that back to give him a little more pain relief.
It's a great back treatment relief. And then I start to approach the individual segments of each of the vertibrae.
Sometimes you can't just jump in people and start doing that kind of motion, it's just too intense.
So when I go on each of the vertibrae I'm actually attaching contacting the spinuses back here.
What we have to do with this kind of attraction or is being really careful. Some people aren't used to that and it's like starting a new
workout, you have to build up, build out into it and this is the most we've done with him so far.
You can see a little shift in the feet as I bring them up. So the sacrum is tipping a little bit we're going to bring it back this way.
Now we're going to enforce that little more with the instrument. And you can see the direction I am holding at that changes the function
of that sacrum there. It changes the movement of the sacrum.
He'll notice it in how he moves.
We're checking the lower lumbar and you can see the difference, significantly.
I give the full spine, full body adjusting so I check the mid back or the neck, lower back and then I go through the extremities as well.
I feel that's part of the service that patients here deserve.
And a lot of times they don't know that chiropractors even work with those type of areas.
I'm going to adjust this shoulder.
26 bones in the hand... checking the wrist...
Obviously uses the hands quite a bit.
Alright, anything you want to share with the guys about your experience here?
The range of motion that I have definitely got over the last couple of weeks is definitely beneficial.
The first time was definitely weird, I was trying to move after that my body's not used to it, but after that I started seeing an improvement
and I can't thank you enough for sure, thank you.
- I'm your first chiropractor? -Yes
So when you're in need of chiropractic there's a lot, you know, whatever you've heard out there, whatever you're watching on tv or Hollywood
the other things is that you know, hey, this guy's in my personal space and not a lot of practioners have there hands all over you doing
this kind of work. But if you give a few visits a try with your chiropractor and see the difference. And the biggest thing is trust with that
individual and explain. I don't talk like this every single visit, it helps you as a patient to know what's going on.
