Thanks for having me.

Appreciate you coming down.
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:25.439
Yeah.
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:33.039
You know, looking forward to learning a little bit more about you and also uh chiropractic practice that you've had in the area for quite a few years now.
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:33.759
22.
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:34.719
22 years.
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:35.199
There we go.
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:36.719
In the Springfield area for sure.
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:39.280
Well, before we get into that, let's just learn a little bit about you.
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:40.639
Tell me a little bit about your background.
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:44.879
Well, my background, I I'm a local guy, so I've been here my whole life.
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:52.240
But uh my background graduated Logan Chiropractic College many years ago and uh had a great education down there.
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:57.360
Uh, learned a lot about the the body and the spine and and how it can help so many people.
00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:01.199
And bringing that back to the to the Springfield area has been great.
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:04.800
Just helping so many people over the years and getting the spines moving again.
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:05.360
There you go.
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:08.960
So you said grew up around here then, so like went to local schools and all that?
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:13.039
Southeast, graduated Southeast High School and a good old class in 99.
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:14.000
Go Spartans.
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:14.560
That's right.
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:15.360
There you go.
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:15.840
Yeah.
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:22.080
So when you were in high school, did uh I mean, was that the plan where you graduate and say, hey, I'm gonna go be a chiropractor and that's what I'm gonna do.
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:22.560
Here we go.
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:23.039
Let's roll.
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:24.719
No, that was a last-minute pivot.
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:29.120
Uh there was always something in the medical field that uh health and wellness of some kind.
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:35.919
And one day I just realized, man, I'm not cut out for late night hours and emergency room calls and this and that.
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:37.840
And I was like, oh, chiropractic.
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:38.879
That helped my mom.
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:40.080
Maybe I should go check into that.
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:40.639
Okay.
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:41.039
Yeah.
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:42.639
So that's how it all fell into place.
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:43.439
There you go.
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:46.719
Did you take any health-related classes while you're there at Southeast?
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:48.080
Did they have anything like that for you back then?
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:50.159
Oh, we weren't that fancy at that point.
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:52.479
Uh just the standard uh standard stuff.
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:52.879
Okay.
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:53.120
Yeah.
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:56.240
Yeah, because nowadays they do have some some pretty good pathways for some of the kids.
00:03:57.039 --> 00:04:02.080
I've I've heard about some of those in into the different career fields of medical uh areas.
00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:03.199
Absolutely.
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:05.680
So Logan chiropractic, where's that at?
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:06.960
It is just outside of St.
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:07.360
Louis.
00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:10.800
I I think it's it's one of the more popular schools around this area.
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:14.319
Uh at this point, maybe there's only about 15 chiropractic schools in the country.
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:15.759
So there's not too many around.
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:17.040
That's all there that there is.
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:18.639
Yeah, there's not too many.
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:20.639
I didn't realize there was that few of them.
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:21.360
Yeah.
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:28.399
I think it was even less when I was in school, but I think a lot of them have opened up satellite schools in other parts of the country.
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:29.199
So Okay.
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:29.519
Yeah.
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:36.800
So was that always the plan to after you finish school down there to bring that back to Springfield, or was there a thought, hey, I'm going to go branch out somewhere else?
00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:40.160
No, I I always figured I'd come back home or at least in the area.
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:51.759
You know, being close to family is important and having that support is is great to have, especially in the in the early stages of starting an office from scratch and needing as much help as possible.
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:52.399
Right.
00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:54.879
So when you first start, is that what you did?
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:57.360
Just started from scratch, all you, nobody else.
00:04:57.519 --> 00:04:58.959
I'm I'm the chiropractor.
00:04:59.040 --> 00:04:59.519
We're rolling here.
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:06.560
I I did share some office space, but he had his own office and I was all on my own.
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:10.319
So it was me getting out, giving presentations anywhere that would have me.
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:11.600
Let's talk chiropractic.
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:19.199
I remember heck, there was a time where uh I met two or three little ladies uh at a Panera uh to give a presentation.
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:21.360
Any presentation I could give, I would give.
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:31.040
I will remember walking into the Panera with my spine in hand, sat down at the table with these three ladies and started talking about how the spine works and how to get adjusted.
00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:31.519
Yeah.
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:35.759
No, that's a great way to get in front of people, is to have some of those presentations like that.
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:37.120
Yeah, it was tough.
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:38.720
It was a tough go for a long time.
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:43.199
Did you have uh bank of a dozen talks that you gave, stock talks that you did?
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:46.720
It was pretty much just the one and only uh a variation of it.
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:57.279
But like I said, anybody that would have me, it was mainly, you know, how the spine works, why it's important, and maybe some take-home little exercises that you could do.
00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:04.480
A lot of the presentations that I gave were at uh, you know, like the the labor halls and that kind of stuff, how how to prevent an injury.
00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:06.399
So that that was an easy in.
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:10.319
Hey, uh, I'll hope you guys not get hurt on the job if you if you let me come give a presentation.
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:11.680
That works, that works.
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:14.079
So, where were you located at when you first opened up?
00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:18.240
Uh, I was up on North Grand, uh, just uh about North Grand and first.
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:20.480
So that was that was the first office.
00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:33.519
And uh that was a good home for many years, and probably about 12 or 13 years I was there, and then uh for about the last 10 years, I went out on my own, just me, myself, and I, no, no staff or anything.
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:38.560
So I was at the back of the house getting people adjusted, doing the front desk, everything in between.
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:42.879
And I was over there, that was over by Mariah's steakhouse in that little strip mall.
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:44.480
Uh, and that was the last 10 years.
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:50.399
And here recently, I I just went down and uh have an office inside of Wagner and Allen Chiropractic now.
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:51.759
So yeah, no, we love Dr.
00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:52.160
Sammy.
00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:53.120
Yeah, that's that's right.
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:53.600
She's great.
00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:54.480
No doubt about it.
00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:58.160
So those the practice on grand, was that also just you?
00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:00.800
You were running the whole thing, or did you have an office staff at that one?
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:02.800
Th there were there was somebody at the front desk.
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:09.759
By the time I left there, I think there were what four different chiropractors in there, but we were all doing our own separate thing.
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:13.519
Uh, we just shared some space and passed each other in the hallway half the time.
00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:13.920
Yeah.
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:14.480
Okay.
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:21.920
So when you were over by Mariah's in that strip over there, that 10 years of by yourself, that'd be difficult though, not having a team to it was tough.
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:29.439
Uh at first it was great and just completely on my own, and I didn't have to have a vote on if something how something happened at the office.
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:31.040
But after a while it got lonely.
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:34.079
So that was kind of the hardest part of of that.
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:42.319
Uh and what I what I didn't realize I was missing was just being able to turn or go knock on another door and say, hey, I had this this thing happen.
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:43.920
What do you guys think about this?
00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:45.920
Or do you know anything about this condition?
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:47.199
I'm not familiar with it.
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:57.759
And just having that ability to talk to somebody just right away is great to to have a second opinion or a confirmation of, yeah, that's what I would have done too.
00:07:57.920 --> 00:07:58.480
Perfect.
00:07:58.720 --> 00:07:59.120
You know.
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:02.959
So you talked about your presentations that you were given.
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:09.360
So over those first 10, 20 years, what are some other ways you use to really market yourself, get folks into the doors?
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:16.160
You know, honestly, I that was one thing that I I've talked with some of the guys that I've graduated chiropractic school with.
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:20.240
We had almost zero any kind of marketing business.
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:25.519
It was just here's chiropractic, you're gonna hang your sign out and you're gonna be good to go.
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:29.040
That was all of that was just learned the hard way.
00:08:29.279 --> 00:08:35.759
And and when I first started, the Facebooks and the YouTubes and all those things weren't really popular, weren't really around.
00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:39.360
And so I just struggled through things.
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:41.519
It was tough for many years.
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:43.919
And then you're like, oh, I should have done that a long time ago.
00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:52.720
And but you live and you learn, and yeah, you know, you try some radio ads, you try some newspaper ads, all that kind of stuff, but most of it was a big giant flop.
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:55.039
You know, I I didn't do anything correctly.
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:58.080
Well, for that 10 years at least, you're one man shop.
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:00.639
You're running front of the house, back of the house, the whole thing.
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:06.159
And at least at that point, I had built up enough of a clientele that and it's even kind of like this today.
00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:08.080
It's it's pretty much just word of mouth.
00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:13.120
Uh, and that reputation, once you build a good reputation somewhere, it goes a long way.
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:14.559
No, I bet.
00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:17.919
Specifically in your line of work, it would be a lot of word of mouth.
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:18.480
Right.
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:27.919
And it's it's nice having somebody come in where their friend's already giving you a glowing review, they're already happy to be there the day they step foot in the door.
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:43.039
And you know, it's like we already know each other because they've heard enough about me, I've heard enough about them, and it's a whole lot easier to start versus the guy that found y'all the yellow pages, and nobody knows anybody, and it's there's just an ex extra steps in there.
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:43.600
Yeah.
00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:49.679
Well, to get those glowing reviews and those referrals and everything, you obviously have to provide an exceptional experience.
00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:53.200
So, how would you say you elevate the client experience at your place?
00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:57.840
It's all about just the personal touches and getting to know the people.
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:01.279
There's so many people that I've gotten to know inside the office.
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:09.519
Not only do we get them help, and that's why they're in there to begin with, is something's not feeling right, they're in pain, discomfort, they need some help with something.
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:12.320
So getting feeling better is the first step.
00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:34.480
But then once that happens, then getting them to know them on a personal level and being able to say, Oh, how's Johnny doing with his with his sports or the the play and and being able to remember that and knowing the names of their family members and just it's that personal touch, and and all of a sudden become we become like friends and family, and and I think they appreciate that.
00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:41.039
There's not the air of, hey, you're gonna come in here and then I'm gonna jump home and I don't want to know you and know how your life is.
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:42.960
So I I think they really appreciate that.
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:44.080
Yeah, absolutely.
00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:44.480
Yeah.
00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:47.440
So with medicine, you have like different specialties and everything.
00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:50.960
Is there such a thing as specialization in chiropractic?
00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:55.600
There are many chiropractic things you you can handle across the board.
00:10:55.759 --> 00:11:02.879
Um, but there are some specialized techniques for certain conditions, but most chiropractors are able to handle most things.
00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:12.559
Um when I say specializations, whether it be like a sports chiropractic, it it's more just learning how in different activities, how the body moves.
00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:14.799
So you just gotta think about things a little bit differently.
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:15.120
Sure.
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:21.919
And in pediatrics, dealing with the the newborns and the kids, and just how their spines are different.
00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:26.879
But as a whole, you're looking to get the interference out of the spine and getting the spine moving again.
00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:31.759
So the principles are uh pretty similar, the the core principles across the board.
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:32.559
They're very similar.
00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:37.519
And would you say most of your patients are more in that general category rather than a specialized?
00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:51.679
Yeah, most folks are just your average, average Joe going down the street, going through life that maybe they they tried to get back into an activity or their their kids are in sports and and just uh and just need that extra help to get them back on track.
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:52.639
Absolutely.
00:11:52.879 --> 00:12:05.279
We've talked about this before on the show with other folks, but is there a difference, maybe like a mindset difference or a uh procedural difference between, say, chiropractic or holistic type of techniques versus allopathic?
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:07.360
There is a different uh mindset.
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:09.519
You're looking what's more natural?
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:12.159
How can my body heal itself?
00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:20.159
And what do I need to do to allow it to heal itself versus jumping right in there and telling your body what it needs to do?
00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:29.200
Whether it's supplements or chiropractic or what have you, you're just trying to feed and get the in interference out of your body's way so it can heal itself.
00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:30.399
That's how it was designed.
00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:34.320
It is pretty amazing what the body can do and how it can heal itself.
00:12:34.639 --> 00:12:42.240
Not to say there aren't times and and conditions where you need to have that extra intervention, but there's a time and place for everything.
00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:44.639
And I like to think, hey, let's start simple.
00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:49.519
If you're not jumping the gun here and and and your body can heal itself, that's where you should start.
00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:49.840
Absolutely.
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:59.759
You know, you can always get more aggressive, but if you're having surgeries and removing things just because, well, there was a chance that could have gone that way, you can't come back from that.
00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:08.639
So as long as it's not a you should always get checked and have and have different consultations with different places, but you know, weigh your options and see what's best for you.
00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:09.279
Absolutely.
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:13.679
No, our bodies are beautifully built machines to heal themselves a lot of times.
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:15.120
It's it's amazing, you know.
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:16.080
It's it really is.
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:17.840
I've seen so many things over the years.
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:20.799
You mentioned interference a minute ago, a minute ago.
00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:21.759
Dig into that a little bit more.
00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:22.720
What do you mean by interference?
00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:23.519
Interference.
00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:33.200
Well, when I talk about interference, and without getting too complicated here, the nervous system that's the brain to out to the body and and back, it's it's that loop.
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:36.240
Your brain sends out a signal and says, hey, move your hand.
00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:41.519
And your hand moves, and then it sends that signal back to the brain and says, Hey, I moved just like you told me to.
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:44.879
And the same thing happens with your organs and other tissues.
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:47.279
Hey, digest this food that just came into my stomach.
00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:49.360
Hey, I'm digesting it like you told me to.
00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:56.240
Well, that interference comes in, that nerve, that pathway sending out the signal can get interrupted.
00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:59.519
And so the brain sends out a signal, hey, stomach, digest this food.
00:13:59.919 --> 00:14:03.440
Use this amount of uh acid to get that taken care of.
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:06.960
And there's uh that interference and it increases the acid.
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:08.639
So then you got that acid reflux.
00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:15.039
Your stomach says, Hey, brain, I did what you told me to, but it only reports half the amount back because of that interference.
00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:18.240
So the brain says, Well, you need more, and it's just that never-ending loop.
00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:24.879
So as a chiropractor, you come in and you break that cycle, you get that interference, that pressure off of those nerves.
00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:37.279
So the brain says, 10 liters of fluid, the stomach says, Hey, I did I did that 10 liters and sends it back and then it stops versus that never-ending cycle of miss and repeat.
00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:38.879
It's it's like the broken phone line.
00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:41.039
Your wife tells you to go do something, right?
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:48.240
You thought you heard something else, you go do that, you get back and report, and she's like, I didn't tell you to get ice cream, I told you you get a gallon of milk.
00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:48.559
Sure.
00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:51.120
But it's just that little difference of what kind of dairy did you get.
00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:52.320
Okay, that makes sense.
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:52.720
Yeah.
00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:55.039
What's your favorite thing about being a chiropractor?
00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:56.720
Man, that's a tough one.
00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:00.159
Just seeing people doing better and knowing I had a part in that.
00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:08.080
Me being able to come in there, figure out what the problem was, put my hands on them, make some corrections, uh, and they get up off the table.
00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:09.039
Man, I feel better.
00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:10.559
That's been bothering me for 10 years.
00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:10.799
Yeah.
00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:13.039
You know, like, yeah, I wish I would have met you sooner.
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:13.440
Right.
00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:15.360
But yeah, that that's probably my favorite.
00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:15.919
Okay.
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:16.480
All right.
00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:18.240
So let's uh talk to a lot of business stuff.
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:19.600
Let's flip over to the person a little bit.
00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:22.000
Anything you do to elevate your life personally?
00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:23.120
Elevating it.
00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:31.759
Man, it's just important to be with family and good people and putting yourself in the in the right communities of having the right people surrounding you.
00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:37.919
My boy, he he's over at Springfield Christian, and so we've been part of that family, and he's a runner.
00:15:38.080 --> 00:15:49.200
And so being out on the the track, uh man, I've met some great people over there on uh his teammates' parents, and we've become friends over the years, and it's it's just a good group of people.
00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:53.919
Everything's a positive atmosphere, and and doing that is been wonderful.
00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:54.559
Absolutely.
00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:55.840
Yeah, they do a nice job over there.
00:15:55.919 --> 00:15:56.879
We well, we go to Westside.
00:15:57.200 --> 00:15:58.080
Okay, perfect over there.
00:15:58.240 --> 00:15:59.840
So yeah, attached right there.
00:15:59.919 --> 00:16:03.600
If folks out there didn't know that Springfield Christian is right there at Westside Christian True.
00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:04.799
Absolutely, yeah, yeah.
00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:09.440
Yeah, no, it's just it's just putting yourself in in good circles and like mindsets.
00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:15.759
I mean, that's it's it's so easy to get wrapped up in negativity and bring yourself down and bring others down around you.
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:27.360
And I had this conversation with my wife not too long ago of you meet those people who everything they touch goes sideways, but every response they give you is a negative response.
00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:32.240
And the there's some kind of power out there, I don't know what it is.
00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:42.480
And we can all get into that negative circle, but you make a positive change, and then all of a sudden the next thing's positive, and the next thing's positive, and then before you know it, you're running high on life.
00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:44.799
And you just got to make those positive changes.
00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:45.759
No doubt about it.
00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:46.240
I love that.
00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:48.320
That's uh one reminder I have every day.
00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:49.519
This little bracelet that I have.
00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:50.559
No negativity allowed.
00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:50.799
Right.
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:53.519
That's just a quick reminder every day.
00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:57.759
You know, sometimes it's tough, and it's real easy to get into those into those habits.
00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:00.720
And uh I've been trying to teach my boy, he's 13.
00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:05.680
It's it's okay to be mad, it's okay to be sad about different things, and but don't dwell on it.
00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:07.279
What are you gonna do to change the problem?
00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:07.599
Right.
00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:12.240
Think about it overnight, but tomorrow you got to do something different to make a positive impact.
00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:13.200
No doubt about it.
00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:18.319
Have you been involved in any uh community organizations, associations, anything like that over the years?
00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:21.119
Yeah, I I've been part of the Springfield Chamber for a number of years.
00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:40.400
I haven't been a member for a handful of years, just life changes, but uh was an ambassador with them for a lot of years and and Toastmasters organization for a number of years, and heck at one point I helped coach over at Southeast with the road wrestling program for a couple seasons and and the JFL years before that.
00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:47.359
But you know, as life changes and and the family household things change, you go from one project to the next project.
00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:55.359
So right now it's it's all about uh keeping the family happy and doing the activities with with them and just being part of the community.
00:17:55.680 --> 00:17:56.319
No doubt about it.
00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:59.440
Well, speaking of activities, any fun activities planned for this summer?
00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:03.279
Oh, we we've got a couple vacations, just quick trips here and there.
00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:07.440
Uh, apparently I was told that we're getting out on the lake this weekend for a little bit.
00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:09.279
Uh, so we'll see how that goes.
00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:12.079
I'm sure there'll be some tubing and all that kind of fun stuff.
00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:14.720
So as long as I don't fall off the tube, we should be good.
00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:15.519
There you go.
00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:17.519
I haven't done any tubing in a long time.
00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:18.720
Yeah, it could be rough.
00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:19.119
Right.
00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:22.640
Well, I know a couple of chiropractors that could help me out if I go out there and get myself injured or something.
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:24.000
Hopefully that's the case.
00:18:24.240 --> 00:18:24.480
Right.
00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:25.440
So, well, Dr.
00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:32.880
Allen, let's give the audience a piece of advice, one on the personal side, one on the professional side to help them elevate their life or business.
00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:33.519
Okay.
00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:36.960
Uh well, let's go professional side, just activity.
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:38.079
You gotta be moving.
00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:39.039
Movement is good.
00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:41.519
And that's the thing so many people get stuck down with.
00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:47.039
Whether you're coming to see the chiropractor or you want to find something else, you just gotta be up and moving.
00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:49.680
Being stagnant on the couch is not a way to go.
00:18:49.839 --> 00:18:51.039
Just being outside and moving.
00:18:51.119 --> 00:18:57.279
It whether it's going for a walk, stretching, any combination of that uh is is a positive.
00:18:57.359 --> 00:18:58.559
So you gotta be up and moving.
00:18:58.720 --> 00:18:59.200
There you go.
00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:01.519
Um, and personally, something simple.
00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:03.759
Just you got to treat others how you want to be treated.
00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:10.240
And I keep circling back to that a little bit of uh just that positive atmosphere and positive outlook on life.
00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:11.599
Uh, it's just so important.
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:15.200
Many years ago, I I probably was that negative, grumpy guy.
00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:21.519
And looking back upon it, I probably didn't get a lot of the responses that I was looking for then.
00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:25.759
Uh, but it's so much easier to be nice to somebody and they're like, oh, thank you.
00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:27.519
And then they give you better service.
00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:29.359
I don't know why more people don't do that.
00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:30.400
Absolutely.
00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:31.599
Live and learn, I suppose.
00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:32.079
Yep.
00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:37.680
And is there anything we can do community-wide to help all of us here elevate Springfield and the surrounding communities?
00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:38.480
Absolutely.
00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:44.000
You know, you you just gotta be out there, you gotta be with the the local businesses and pushing everybody forward.
00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:46.480
When one person's doing well, everybody's doing well.
00:19:46.720 --> 00:19:46.960
Right.
00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:47.839
Yeah, absolutely.
00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:48.640
No doubt about it.
00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:49.920
We talk a lot about that on this show.
00:19:50.079 --> 00:19:51.599
Communities grow together when we work together.
00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:52.079
So let's go.
00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:53.279
It's amazing.
00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:54.480
Yep, absolutely.
00:19:54.640 --> 00:19:55.119
Well, Dr.
00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:57.279
Allen, uh, somebody wants to come see you.
00:19:57.599 --> 00:19:57.839
Yeah.
00:19:58.559 --> 00:19:59.039
Anytime.
00:19:59.119 --> 00:20:02.880
I I'm located outside of uh Piper Glen at 7012 Kingsmill Court.
00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:03.200
Yeah.
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:03.680
Awesome.
00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:05.200
Well, I appreciate you spending some time with me today.
00:20:05.440 --> 00:20:05.920
Thank you so much.
00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:06.400
All right.
00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:07.440
We're gonna let Dr.
00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:09.440
Allen get back to elevating Springfield.

When I first walked into Shudokan Karate Club, I was just looking for a way to get stronger.
00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:06.640
But what I found was so much more.
00:22:06.799 --> 00:22:09.680
Here we train in traditional karate, the real stuff.
00:22:09.839 --> 00:22:11.519

Every punch, every kata has purpose.
00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:18.079
I've learned self discipline, confidence, and how to protect myself.
00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:20.319
Not just in class, but in real life.
00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:23.359

Appreciate you coming down.
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:25.439
Yeah.
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:33.039
You know, looking forward to learning a little bit more about you and also uh chiropractic practice that you've had in the area for quite a few years now.
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:33.759
22.
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:34.719
22 years.
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:35.199
There we go.
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:36.719
In the Springfield area for sure.
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:39.280
Well, before we get into that, let's just learn a little bit about you.
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:40.639
Tell me a little bit about your background.
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:44.879
Well, my background, I I'm a local guy, so I've been here my whole life.
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:52.240
But uh my background graduated Logan Chiropractic College many years ago and uh had a great education down there.
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:57.360
Uh, learned a lot about the the body and the spine and and how it can help so many people.
00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:01.199
And bringing that back to the to the Springfield area has been great.
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:04.800
Just helping so many people over the years and getting the spines moving again.
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:05.360
There you go.
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:08.960
So you said grew up around here then, so like went to local schools and all that?
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:13.039
Southeast, graduated Southeast High School and a good old class in 99.
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:14.000
Go Spartans.
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:14.560
That's right.
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:15.360
There you go.
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:15.840
Yeah.
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:22.080
So when you were in high school, did uh I mean, was that the plan where you graduate and say, hey, I'm gonna go be a chiropractor and that's what I'm gonna do.
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:22.560
Here we go.
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:23.039
Let's roll.
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:24.719
No, that was a last-minute pivot.
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:29.120
Uh there was always something in the medical field that uh health and wellness of some kind.
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:35.919
And one day I just realized, man, I'm not cut out for late night hours and emergency room calls and this and that.
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:37.840
And I was like, oh, chiropractic.
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:38.879
That helped my mom.
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:40.080
Maybe I should go check into that.
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:40.639
Okay.
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:41.039
Yeah.
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:42.639
So that's how it all fell into place.
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:43.439
There you go.
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:46.719
Did you take any health-related classes while you're there at Southeast?
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:48.080
Did they have anything like that for you back then?
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:50.159
Oh, we weren't that fancy at that point.
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:52.479
Uh just the standard uh standard stuff.
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:52.879
Okay.
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:53.120
Yeah.
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:56.240
Yeah, because nowadays they do have some some pretty good pathways for some of the kids.
00:03:57.039 --> 00:04:02.080
I've I've heard about some of those in into the different career fields of medical uh areas.
00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:03.199
Absolutely.
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:05.680
So Logan chiropractic, where's that at?
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:06.960
It is just outside of St.
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:07.360
Louis.
00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:10.800
I I think it's it's one of the more popular schools around this area.
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:14.319
Uh at this point, maybe there's only about 15 chiropractic schools in the country.
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:15.759
So there's not too many around.
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:17.040
That's all there that there is.
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:18.639
Yeah, there's not too many.
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:20.639
I didn't realize there was that few of them.
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:21.360
Yeah.
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:28.399
I think it was even less when I was in school, but I think a lot of them have opened up satellite schools in other parts of the country.
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:29.199
So Okay.
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:29.519
Yeah.
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:36.800
So was that always the plan to after you finish school down there to bring that back to Springfield, or was there a thought, hey, I'm going to go branch out somewhere else?
00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:40.160
No, I I always figured I'd come back home or at least in the area.
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:51.759
You know, being close to family is important and having that support is is great to have, especially in the in the early stages of starting an office from scratch and needing as much help as possible.
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:52.399
Right.
00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:54.879
So when you first start, is that what you did?
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:57.360
Just started from scratch, all you, nobody else.
00:04:57.519 --> 00:04:58.959
I'm I'm the chiropractor.
00:04:59.040 --> 00:04:59.519
We're rolling here.
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:06.560
I I did share some office space, but he had his own office and I was all on my own.
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:10.319
So it was me getting out, giving presentations anywhere that would have me.
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:11.600
Let's talk chiropractic.
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:19.199
I remember heck, there was a time where uh I met two or three little ladies uh at a Panera uh to give a presentation.
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:21.360
Any presentation I could give, I would give.
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:31.040
I will remember walking into the Panera with my spine in hand, sat down at the table with these three ladies and started talking about how the spine works and how to get adjusted.
00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:31.519
Yeah.
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:35.759
No, that's a great way to get in front of people, is to have some of those presentations like that.
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:37.120
Yeah, it was tough.
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:38.720
It was a tough go for a long time.
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:43.199
Did you have uh bank of a dozen talks that you gave, stock talks that you did?
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:46.720
It was pretty much just the one and only uh a variation of it.
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:57.279
But like I said, anybody that would have me, it was mainly, you know, how the spine works, why it's important, and maybe some take-home little exercises that you could do.
00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:04.480
A lot of the presentations that I gave were at uh, you know, like the the labor halls and that kind of stuff, how how to prevent an injury.
00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:06.399
So that that was an easy in.
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:10.319
Hey, uh, I'll hope you guys not get hurt on the job if you if you let me come give a presentation.
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:11.680
That works, that works.
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:14.079
So, where were you located at when you first opened up?
00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:18.240
Uh, I was up on North Grand, uh, just uh about North Grand and first.
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:20.480
So that was that was the first office.
00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:33.519
And uh that was a good home for many years, and probably about 12 or 13 years I was there, and then uh for about the last 10 years, I went out on my own, just me, myself, and I, no, no staff or anything.
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:38.560
So I was at the back of the house getting people adjusted, doing the front desk, everything in between.
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:42.879
And I was over there, that was over by Mariah's steakhouse in that little strip mall.
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:44.480
Uh, and that was the last 10 years.
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:50.399
And here recently, I I just went down and uh have an office inside of Wagner and Allen Chiropractic now.
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:51.759
So yeah, no, we love Dr.
00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:52.160
Sammy.
00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:53.120
Yeah, that's that's right.
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:53.600
She's great.
00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:54.480
No doubt about it.
00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:58.160
So those the practice on grand, was that also just you?
00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:00.800
You were running the whole thing, or did you have an office staff at that one?
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:02.800
Th there were there was somebody at the front desk.
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:09.759
By the time I left there, I think there were what four different chiropractors in there, but we were all doing our own separate thing.
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:13.519
Uh, we just shared some space and passed each other in the hallway half the time.
00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:13.920
Yeah.
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:14.480
Okay.
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:21.920
So when you were over by Mariah's in that strip over there, that 10 years of by yourself, that'd be difficult though, not having a team to it was tough.
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:29.439
Uh at first it was great and just completely on my own, and I didn't have to have a vote on if something how something happened at the office.
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:31.040
But after a while it got lonely.
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:34.079
So that was kind of the hardest part of of that.
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:42.319
Uh and what I what I didn't realize I was missing was just being able to turn or go knock on another door and say, hey, I had this this thing happen.
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:43.920
What do you guys think about this?
00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:45.920
Or do you know anything about this condition?
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:47.199
I'm not familiar with it.
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:57.759
And just having that ability to talk to somebody just right away is great to to have a second opinion or a confirmation of, yeah, that's what I would have done too.
00:07:57.920 --> 00:07:58.480
Perfect.
00:07:58.720 --> 00:07:59.120
You know.
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:02.959
So you talked about your presentations that you were given.
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:09.360
So over those first 10, 20 years, what are some other ways you use to really market yourself, get folks into the doors?
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:16.160
You know, honestly, I that was one thing that I I've talked with some of the guys that I've graduated chiropractic school with.
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:20.240
We had almost zero any kind of marketing business.
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:25.519
It was just here's chiropractic, you're gonna hang your sign out and you're gonna be good to go.
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:29.040
That was all of that was just learned the hard way.
00:08:29.279 --> 00:08:35.759
And and when I first started, the Facebooks and the YouTubes and all those things weren't really popular, weren't really around.
00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:39.360
And so I just struggled through things.
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:41.519
It was tough for many years.
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:43.919
And then you're like, oh, I should have done that a long time ago.
00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:52.720
And but you live and you learn, and yeah, you know, you try some radio ads, you try some newspaper ads, all that kind of stuff, but most of it was a big giant flop.
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:55.039
You know, I I didn't do anything correctly.
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:58.080
Well, for that 10 years at least, you're one man shop.
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:00.639
You're running front of the house, back of the house, the whole thing.
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:06.159
And at least at that point, I had built up enough of a clientele that and it's even kind of like this today.
00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:08.080
It's it's pretty much just word of mouth.
00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:13.120
Uh, and that reputation, once you build a good reputation somewhere, it goes a long way.
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:14.559
No, I bet.
00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:17.919
Specifically in your line of work, it would be a lot of word of mouth.
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:18.480
Right.
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:27.919
And it's it's nice having somebody come in where their friend's already giving you a glowing review, they're already happy to be there the day they step foot in the door.
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:43.039
And you know, it's like we already know each other because they've heard enough about me, I've heard enough about them, and it's a whole lot easier to start versus the guy that found y'all the yellow pages, and nobody knows anybody, and it's there's just an ex extra steps in there.
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:43.600
Yeah.
00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:49.679
Well, to get those glowing reviews and those referrals and everything, you obviously have to provide an exceptional experience.
00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:53.200
So, how would you say you elevate the client experience at your place?
00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:57.840
It's all about just the personal touches and getting to know the people.
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:01.279
There's so many people that I've gotten to know inside the office.
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:09.519
Not only do we get them help, and that's why they're in there to begin with, is something's not feeling right, they're in pain, discomfort, they need some help with something.
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:12.320
So getting feeling better is the first step.
00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:34.480
But then once that happens, then getting them to know them on a personal level and being able to say, Oh, how's Johnny doing with his with his sports or the the play and and being able to remember that and knowing the names of their family members and just it's that personal touch, and and all of a sudden become we become like friends and family, and and I think they appreciate that.
00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:41.039
There's not the air of, hey, you're gonna come in here and then I'm gonna jump home and I don't want to know you and know how your life is.
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:42.960
So I I think they really appreciate that.
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:44.080
Yeah, absolutely.
00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:44.480
Yeah.
00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:47.440
So with medicine, you have like different specialties and everything.
00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:50.960
Is there such a thing as specialization in chiropractic?
00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:55.600
There are many chiropractic things you you can handle across the board.
00:10:55.759 --> 00:11:02.879
Um, but there are some specialized techniques for certain conditions, but most chiropractors are able to handle most things.
00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:12.559
Um when I say specializations, whether it be like a sports chiropractic, it it's more just learning how in different activities, how the body moves.
00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:14.799
So you just gotta think about things a little bit differently.
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:15.120
Sure.
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:21.919
And in pediatrics, dealing with the the newborns and the kids, and just how their spines are different.
00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:26.879
But as a whole, you're looking to get the interference out of the spine and getting the spine moving again.
00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:31.759
So the principles are uh pretty similar, the the core principles across the board.
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:32.559
They're very similar.
00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:37.519
And would you say most of your patients are more in that general category rather than a specialized?
00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:51.679
Yeah, most folks are just your average, average Joe going down the street, going through life that maybe they they tried to get back into an activity or their their kids are in sports and and just uh and just need that extra help to get them back on track.
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:52.639
Absolutely.
00:11:52.879 --> 00:12:05.279
We've talked about this before on the show with other folks, but is there a difference, maybe like a mindset difference or a uh procedural difference between, say, chiropractic or holistic type of techniques versus allopathic?
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:07.360
There is a different uh mindset.
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:09.519
You're looking what's more natural?
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:12.159
How can my body heal itself?
00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:20.159
And what do I need to do to allow it to heal itself versus jumping right in there and telling your body what it needs to do?
00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:29.200
Whether it's supplements or chiropractic or what have you, you're just trying to feed and get the in interference out of your body's way so it can heal itself.
00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:30.399
That's how it was designed.
00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:34.320
It is pretty amazing what the body can do and how it can heal itself.
00:12:34.639 --> 00:12:42.240
Not to say there aren't times and and conditions where you need to have that extra intervention, but there's a time and place for everything.
00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:44.639
And I like to think, hey, let's start simple.
00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:49.519
If you're not jumping the gun here and and and your body can heal itself, that's where you should start.
00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:49.840
Absolutely.
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:59.759
You know, you can always get more aggressive, but if you're having surgeries and removing things just because, well, there was a chance that could have gone that way, you can't come back from that.
00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:08.639
So as long as it's not a you should always get checked and have and have different consultations with different places, but you know, weigh your options and see what's best for you.
00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:09.279
Absolutely.
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:13.679
No, our bodies are beautifully built machines to heal themselves a lot of times.
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:15.120
It's it's amazing, you know.
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:16.080
It's it really is.
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:17.840
I've seen so many things over the years.
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:20.799
You mentioned interference a minute ago, a minute ago.
00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:21.759
Dig into that a little bit more.
00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:22.720
What do you mean by interference?
00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:23.519
Interference.
00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:33.200
Well, when I talk about interference, and without getting too complicated here, the nervous system that's the brain to out to the body and and back, it's it's that loop.
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:36.240
Your brain sends out a signal and says, hey, move your hand.
00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:41.519
And your hand moves, and then it sends that signal back to the brain and says, Hey, I moved just like you told me to.
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:44.879
And the same thing happens with your organs and other tissues.
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:47.279
Hey, digest this food that just came into my stomach.
00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:49.360
Hey, I'm digesting it like you told me to.
00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:56.240
Well, that interference comes in, that nerve, that pathway sending out the signal can get interrupted.
00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:59.519
And so the brain sends out a signal, hey, stomach, digest this food.
00:13:59.919 --> 00:14:03.440
Use this amount of uh acid to get that taken care of.
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:06.960
And there's uh that interference and it increases the acid.
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:08.639
So then you got that acid reflux.
00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:15.039
Your stomach says, Hey, brain, I did what you told me to, but it only reports half the amount back because of that interference.
00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:18.240
So the brain says, Well, you need more, and it's just that never-ending loop.
00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:24.879
So as a chiropractor, you come in and you break that cycle, you get that interference, that pressure off of those nerves.
00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:37.279
So the brain says, 10 liters of fluid, the stomach says, Hey, I did I did that 10 liters and sends it back and then it stops versus that never-ending cycle of miss and repeat.
00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:38.879
It's it's like the broken phone line.
00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:41.039
Your wife tells you to go do something, right?
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:48.240
You thought you heard something else, you go do that, you get back and report, and she's like, I didn't tell you to get ice cream, I told you you get a gallon of milk.
00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:48.559
Sure.
00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:51.120
But it's just that little difference of what kind of dairy did you get.
00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:52.320
Okay, that makes sense.
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:52.720
Yeah.
00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:55.039
What's your favorite thing about being a chiropractor?
00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:56.720
Man, that's a tough one.
00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:00.159
Just seeing people doing better and knowing I had a part in that.
00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:08.080
Me being able to come in there, figure out what the problem was, put my hands on them, make some corrections, uh, and they get up off the table.
00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:09.039
Man, I feel better.
00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:10.559
That's been bothering me for 10 years.
00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:10.799
Yeah.
00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:13.039
You know, like, yeah, I wish I would have met you sooner.
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:13.440
Right.
00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:15.360
But yeah, that that's probably my favorite.
00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:15.919
Okay.
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:16.480
All right.
00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:18.240
So let's uh talk to a lot of business stuff.
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:19.600
Let's flip over to the person a little bit.
00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:22.000
Anything you do to elevate your life personally?
00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:23.120
Elevating it.
00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:31.759
Man, it's just important to be with family and good people and putting yourself in the in the right communities of having the right people surrounding you.
00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:37.919
My boy, he he's over at Springfield Christian, and so we've been part of that family, and he's a runner.
00:15:38.080 --> 00:15:49.200
And so being out on the the track, uh man, I've met some great people over there on uh his teammates' parents, and we've become friends over the years, and it's it's just a good group of people.
00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:53.919
Everything's a positive atmosphere, and and doing that is been wonderful.
00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:54.559
Absolutely.
00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:55.840
Yeah, they do a nice job over there.
00:15:55.919 --> 00:15:56.879
We well, we go to Westside.
00:15:57.200 --> 00:15:58.080
Okay, perfect over there.
00:15:58.240 --> 00:15:59.840
So yeah, attached right there.
00:15:59.919 --> 00:16:03.600
If folks out there didn't know that Springfield Christian is right there at Westside Christian True.
00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:04.799
Absolutely, yeah, yeah.
00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:09.440
Yeah, no, it's just it's just putting yourself in in good circles and like mindsets.
00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:15.759
I mean, that's it's it's so easy to get wrapped up in negativity and bring yourself down and bring others down around you.
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:27.360
And I had this conversation with my wife not too long ago of you meet those people who everything they touch goes sideways, but every response they give you is a negative response.
00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:32.240
And the there's some kind of power out there, I don't know what it is.
00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:42.480
And we can all get into that negative circle, but you make a positive change, and then all of a sudden the next thing's positive, and the next thing's positive, and then before you know it, you're running high on life.
00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:44.799
And you just got to make those positive changes.
00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:45.759
No doubt about it.
00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:46.240
I love that.
00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:48.320
That's uh one reminder I have every day.
00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:49.519
This little bracelet that I have.
00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:50.559
No negativity allowed.
00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:50.799
Right.
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:53.519
That's just a quick reminder every day.
00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:57.759
You know, sometimes it's tough, and it's real easy to get into those into those habits.
00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:00.720
And uh I've been trying to teach my boy, he's 13.
00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:05.680
It's it's okay to be mad, it's okay to be sad about different things, and but don't dwell on it.
00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:07.279
What are you gonna do to change the problem?
00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:07.599
Right.
00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:12.240
Think about it overnight, but tomorrow you got to do something different to make a positive impact.
00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:13.200
No doubt about it.
00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:18.319
Have you been involved in any uh community organizations, associations, anything like that over the years?
00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:21.119
Yeah, I I've been part of the Springfield Chamber for a number of years.
00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:40.400
I haven't been a member for a handful of years, just life changes, but uh was an ambassador with them for a lot of years and and Toastmasters organization for a number of years, and heck at one point I helped coach over at Southeast with the road wrestling program for a couple seasons and and the JFL years before that.
00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:47.359
But you know, as life changes and and the family household things change, you go from one project to the next project.
00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:55.359
So right now it's it's all about uh keeping the family happy and doing the activities with with them and just being part of the community.
00:17:55.680 --> 00:17:56.319
No doubt about it.
00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:59.440
Well, speaking of activities, any fun activities planned for this summer?
00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:03.279
Oh, we we've got a couple vacations, just quick trips here and there.
00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:07.440
Uh, apparently I was told that we're getting out on the lake this weekend for a little bit.
00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:09.279
Uh, so we'll see how that goes.
00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:12.079
I'm sure there'll be some tubing and all that kind of fun stuff.
00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:14.720
So as long as I don't fall off the tube, we should be good.
00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:15.519
There you go.
00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:17.519
I haven't done any tubing in a long time.
00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:18.720
Yeah, it could be rough.
00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:19.119
Right.
00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:22.640
Well, I know a couple of chiropractors that could help me out if I go out there and get myself injured or something.
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:24.000
Hopefully that's the case.
00:18:24.240 --> 00:18:24.480
Right.
00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:25.440
So, well, Dr.
00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:32.880
Allen, let's give the audience a piece of advice, one on the personal side, one on the professional side to help them elevate their life or business.
00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:33.519
Okay.
00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:36.960
Uh well, let's go professional side, just activity.
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:38.079
You gotta be moving.
00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:39.039
Movement is good.
00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:41.519
And that's the thing so many people get stuck down with.
00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:47.039
Whether you're coming to see the chiropractor or you want to find something else, you just gotta be up and moving.
00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:49.680
Being stagnant on the couch is not a way to go.
00:18:49.839 --> 00:18:51.039
Just being outside and moving.
00:18:51.119 --> 00:18:57.279
It whether it's going for a walk, stretching, any combination of that uh is is a positive.
00:18:57.359 --> 00:18:58.559
So you gotta be up and moving.
00:18:58.720 --> 00:18:59.200
There you go.
00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:01.519
Um, and personally, something simple.
00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:03.759
Just you got to treat others how you want to be treated.
00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:10.240
And I keep circling back to that a little bit of uh just that positive atmosphere and positive outlook on life.
00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:11.599
Uh, it's just so important.
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:15.200
Many years ago, I I probably was that negative, grumpy guy.
00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:21.519
And looking back upon it, I probably didn't get a lot of the responses that I was looking for then.
00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:25.759
Uh, but it's so much easier to be nice to somebody and they're like, oh, thank you.
00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:27.519
And then they give you better service.
00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:29.359
I don't know why more people don't do that.
00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:30.400
Absolutely.
00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:31.599
Live and learn, I suppose.
00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:32.079
Yep.
00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:37.680
And is there anything we can do community-wide to help all of us here elevate Springfield and the surrounding communities?
00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:38.480
Absolutely.
00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:44.000
You know, you you just gotta be out there, you gotta be with the the local businesses and pushing everybody forward.
00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:46.480
When one person's doing well, everybody's doing well.
00:19:46.720 --> 00:19:46.960
Right.
00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:47.839
Yeah, absolutely.
00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:48.640
No doubt about it.
00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:49.920
We talk a lot about that on this show.
00:19:50.079 --> 00:19:51.599
Communities grow together when we work together.
00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:52.079
So let's go.
00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:53.279
It's amazing.
00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:54.480
Yep, absolutely.
00:19:54.640 --> 00:19:55.119
Well, Dr.

When I first walked into Shudokan Karate Club, I was just looking for a way to get stronger.
00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:06.640

Passed down through generations.

Every punch, every kata has purpose.
00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:18.079
I've learned self discipline, confidence, and how to protect myself.
00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:20.319
Not just in class, but in real life.
00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:23.359

00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:26.160
