So you're gonna hear the table making some noise,
any kind of like noises you hear when people you know,
the popping, the cracking,
that's only just the spine moving and gas being released.
Like if you crack your own knuckles, something like that,
Right, like people that crack their knuckles.
That's all that's going on
It's just gas, nothing's breaking,
It doesn't hurt, right?
No one would come back, if we hurt them.
So, I've actually had x-rays on Chelsea
so I know what's going on with her spine
before hand so,
really really easy rejoin isn't going to take very long,
so you see as that spine models, this is her lying down,
this table just lifts up underneath her hips just like that,
and we just adjust her pelvis, tighten up a little bit,
just real easy, real gently.
So we have to correct that alignment of the pelvis
to make sure it's all level and balanced
so that the foundation of her spine is straight.
So that's just the table,
Yeah that's not her body!
Yeah, not her body
so those nerves in the low back, go down your legs,
the sciatic nerve, they go to the reproductive system,
so we always want to make sure those things are clear out.
So take a nice deep breath in for me, set it all the way out
(Chelsea takes a deep breath in and out)
Oh wow! I just heard her whole spine
(Chelsea laughing)
that didn't hurt though right Chels?
It did not hurt at all!
It actually felt good
A lot of people have like that, sitting all day long,
Wait, what's this thing?
Uh, it's okay, I didn't smuggle it in here,
(audience laughter)
yeah so, this is an instrument that helps me
aid in the adjustments.
This is called the athrostim, so people that are
I mean younger, older, it's a little bit
of a gentler approach to correcting their spine
I want one!
It's a little bit of an impact gun,
so let me have your hand,
now so, the harder I push, the more --
Oh I want one!
(audience laughter)
So it's like someone who'd be like Rachel,
I'd just walk around my house like this
Really correct things without really
you know, being over using or over intensified.
Can you use that on someone's neck too?
Absolutely, yeah we'll see in a second so,
I kinda you know, these lower backs are kinda the most
common issue we see,
Wow
So it really gets that spine moving,
Oh that looks fun!
We're gonna go over the areas we adjusted
It's like a massage!
I know right?
(audience laughter)
[Rachel] Oh I want one so bad!
Flip on your back for me
Okay,
So this is what people get really scared about,
and really when it comes down to chiropractic,
you know their necks, like "don't touch me"
and I get that, absolutely,
but chiropractic itself is one of the most safe forms of
health care that you can get
you know, I know my malpractice insurance,
if I was terrible at what I did and I was higher risk
my malpractice insurance would be through the roof,
and it's actually less than my auto insurance.
Wow!
I'm not a bad driver either!
(laughter)
Yeah I'm like wait, qualify that, right
- yeah
so we check the neck, we're just checking for some areas
that are not moving well,
some sore spots, I'm sure she feels that
little tension right there,
Oh yeah!
So we get really specific and get to a certain tension
and just a little push there
Oh I'm so jealous!
You're crazy, yeah so,
That was a good little one,
So, why don't you come up for me,
I'm just gonna have a seat right here,
so, like I said in the beginning,
the cervical curve is crucial in how the body functions so,
this is a major major importance when it comes to
your overall health.
So we kinda get this in here to help this natural
cervical curve back into the spine,
so we're just gonna follow that curve back--
Oh that's so cool!
(laughter)
ohhh!
Keep the spine getting in the right position, and also,
Oh that would be so good!
helps to facilitate a faster correction too so,
you know, we're always on a computer, desk, the texting now
everything is
Guilty
going down, and really the--
Me it's all the chopping in the kitchen,
Yeah
I keep pushing my head sideways
The big implication, whatever we do,
the big problem is, like well the nerves in the neck,
where do they go?
Go down your arms to your hands,
go out to the heart, the lungs, so,
you know a problem here isn't just neck or tension or pain
or headaches even,
it's affecting how that body is really working,
that's kinda why I see
from infants to however old you are!
Right?
My mom's 84 and she goes like twice a week, she loves it!
Oh wow
She's living it up too right,
(audience applause)
