Say, if you're not elevating your health and wellness, you're not gonna be able to elevate in all other areas.
00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:21.599

All right, and we are back for another edition of the Wellness Upgrade.
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:14.719
Joining me in the studio, Dr.
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:16.719
Sammy Wagner and Dr.
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:17.759
Daryl Allen.
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:18.879
How are you guys doing today?
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:19.759
Doing great.
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:20.560
Fantastic.
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:22.879
Appreciate you guys coming down again for another segment.
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:25.840
Remind everybody what you guys do before we get into it.
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:37.039
We have a generalized family practice where we treat anyone from newborn all the way up to over 100 years old, all different kinds of ailments and issues, and we also do some wellness care.
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:37.840
All right.
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:40.879
So today we're gonna do something pretty fun, I think.
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:44.159
So we're gonna rate some chiropractic gadgets.
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:47.759
Everybody loves a good gadget, or at least a lot of people like good gadget, maybe.
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:49.919
We'll see if you guys both like these gadgets or not.
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:50.960
It'll be fun.
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:59.199
So with social media and everything, gadgets can be just thrown at people, not just chiropractic gadgets, but for everything in the health and wellness realm.
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:02.319
You see them all over Instagram and Facebook and TikTok and everything.
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:05.919
So they are pretty popular right now in terms of everybody sees them.
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:09.039
So I'm interested to see what you guys rate these bad boys.
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:11.360
We've got like 21 of them on here.
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:17.280
So we're gonna go through and rapid fire, but also give the audience a little bit of explanation on what that thing is.
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:17.919
Okay, great.
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:18.879
So all right.
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:21.120
So number one, inversion.
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:24.400
Before I before I begin, the rating is zero to ten, folks.
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:25.120
Zero to ten.
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:25.439
Okay.
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:27.919
So 10 being ten being what?
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:31.759
Awesome being the greatest works wonders for everybody.
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:32.240
Yeah.
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:32.719
Okay.
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:33.280
All right.
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:35.840
So one inversion table.
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:37.919
Five out of ten.
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:39.759
Six.
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:40.800
I'll go six.
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:42.080
You guys are pretty close on that one.
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:43.439
Then what's an inversion table?
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:52.080
Well, it's uh a table where you hook your feet, knees in, and it turns you upside down to provide a little distraction in the spine.
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:52.400
Okay.
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:54.000
See like a decompression table.
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:54.479
Yeah.
00:03:54.560 --> 00:04:03.520
So if you have like disc issues, or if you have a job where you sit or bend forward a lot, or if you don't have a lot of mobility in your spine, I don't think an inversion table is a bad idea.
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:05.840
No, no, it can bring some benefit.
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:07.439
Take a little pressure off.
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:09.439
This next one kind of has a fun name.
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:11.520
I don't know what it is, a neck hammock.
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:16.879
I guess it depends on which one you get, but I would say, I don't like four out of ten.
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:18.959
Five.
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:32.240
And and this one's uh there's a there's a number of different versions of it, but one that a lot of people see is like a like a weighted bag that goes over the door frame, over the door, and you put your head in it to kind of lift it up.
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:32.959
Oh, okay.
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:40.879
It's very similar to the inversion table in it's what it's trying to what it's trying to accomplish, but more specifically for the neck.
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:42.079
Gotcha.
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:47.759
This next one I've used a number of times over the years, even growing up, I think it was one that my mom always had.
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:49.279
So biofreeze.
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:50.240
Yeah.
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:51.360
Feels good.
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:52.480
Four out of ten.
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:53.279
Yeah.
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:54.480
Well, four is good.
00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:55.279
I think it's great.
00:04:55.360 --> 00:05:02.160
Like if you are getting ready to go for a run or after a run, or if you, you know, have had a long day, or if you've worked out a lot, I think it feels good.
00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:04.560
I think there are better products out there.
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:09.600
Well, everything in that uh arena is it kind of just overrides some of the pain sensors.
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:10.639
It's cooling.
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:12.480
It feels good, but feels good.
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:13.920
How much does it really do?
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:15.839
It's short term.
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:16.160
Yeah.
00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:18.480
I think I've used one um like deep blue.
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:19.360
Yeah, I love deep blue.
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:20.480
That's the one we use now.
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:21.360
The biofreeze.
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:23.279
I remember using that one growing up at some point.
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:25.759
Yeah, I would rate deep blue higher than biofreeze for sure.
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:26.160
Yeah.
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:26.480
Okay.
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:27.680
Definitely a little stronger.
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:29.040
I'm on the right track there then.
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:29.439
Yes.
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:32.399
Next one, class four laser therapy.
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:33.439
Eight out of ten.
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:34.720
Oh man.
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:35.360
Uh-oh.
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:37.279
We'll give it a we'll give it a seven.
00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:37.920
All right.
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:38.639
Yeah.
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:39.360
Yeah.
00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:42.560
Uh this she likes the gadgets way more than I do.
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:45.360
Uh, I'm kind of more the old school chiropractor.
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:52.399
But there's a lot of really good research on the problem is is there's a lot of lasers out there that you can just buy online or buy on Amazon that are cheap.
00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:56.480
A good quality laser is tens of thousands of dollars.
00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:59.680
Like they're not, but there's a lot of really good research on laser therapy.
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:05.360
And I think to encourage healing and cellular regeneration, it's it's pretty good.
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:05.839
Okay.
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:08.079
So, I mean, is that is that what it's for?
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:09.920
Cellular regeneration.
00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:10.639
Okay.
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:11.279
Gotcha.
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:12.000
All right.
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:13.439
Ooh, another fun name.
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:14.480
I have no idea what it does.
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:15.439
Shockwave.
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:17.279
8.5 out of 10.
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:18.720
I'll I'll give it an eight.
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:21.040
That one's that one's kind of a newer one on the market.
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:23.040
Well, it's actually not that new.
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:28.959
It the technology's been around for a long time, but it's uh they they've improved it and changed what it does.
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:40.959
That one blasts a sound wave deep into the tissues to once again change some of the cellular healing, break through some of the scar tissue and adhesions in a joint and bring some blood flow.
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:42.399
It's really good.
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:44.560
It's it's just different than laser.
00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:46.720
You just use them for different things.
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:49.920
One's for more acute, one's for more chronic.
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:52.319
And uh I like shockwave a lot.
00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:54.079
I think I'd like to try that one.
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:54.800
It'd be fun.
00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:55.279
Yeah.
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:57.839
And all these things, there's so many companies out there.
00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:02.800
It's I had I had one for a short time, but it wasn't the right fit for me, that model.
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:09.680
So I I need to research it a little bit more to find uh one that I I think would be more useful in in the office.
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:10.319
Mm-hmm.
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:10.800
Okay.
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:15.600
Next one, I've used this before icing and cryotherapy.
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:16.720
Big fan.
00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:17.600
I'm gonna go eight.
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:18.639
Yeah, maybe nine.
00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:19.759
Oh, nine.
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:20.079
Yeah.
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:30.160
I wouldn't give it more than eight, but I think icing, especially after injury, I know there's some conflict on that, but for the most part, I it's great for inflammation, I think.
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:31.759
Yeah, you can't go wrong with icing.
00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:35.920
And the difference between just straight icing and cryotherapy.
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:44.560
Cryotherapy chambers, it's kind of a fancy, quick, global way of decreasing inflammation in the body, I would say.
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:45.040
Right.
00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:47.600
Um, but a good old ice pack will do.
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:48.079
Yeah.
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:48.480
Okay.
00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:54.319
With the cryotherapy chambers is similar to do ice baths and cold plunges and things like that.
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:54.879
Similar, yeah.
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:55.439
Similar.
00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:55.920
Similar.
00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:57.040
Just a whole body.
00:07:57.360 --> 00:07:57.519
Right.
00:07:57.600 --> 00:07:58.000
Just everything.
00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:00.160
Yeah, instead of just your up to here or whatever.
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:00.399
Yeah.
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:03.199
I don't think I've ever dunked my head in my polar plunge.
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:05.680
I don't believe I've done that.
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:07.120
So all right.
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:07.839
Next thing.
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:13.120
Cupping's good.
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:16.319
Um I'll give it a we'll go seven.
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:16.800
Yeah.
00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:17.360
Yeah.
00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:18.560
I would agree with that.
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:20.160
Six or seven out of ten.
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:20.800
Yeah.
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:28.800
It's I like cupping and people think normally it feels really good and they get a lot of immediate relief with it and decrease in muscle tension.
00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:29.279
Yeah.
00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:33.200
Uh so many of these things is to to bring blood flow into an area.
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:39.360
Obviously, if there's more nutrients and more blood flow, uh it's going to promote some healing instead of an area getting stagnant.
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:41.039
So it's definitely good for recovery.
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:41.679
Right.
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:42.960
So how does it work?
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:50.320
You've got like I don't know if they're like suctions, but they you've got the little cup thing, you put it on their back or wherever, and it starts pulling the skin up and the whatever, right?
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:52.240
There's a number of different types.
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:53.759
Uh, they all function.
00:08:54.000 --> 00:09:00.639
The the outcome is the same, but it yeah, it creates a suction on the skin and and opens up the different layers of tissues.
00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:05.039
And some of them you can kind of work around and work through some adhesions in in that area.
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:05.759
Mm-hmm.
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:09.759
Some of them use fire, some of them are silicone cups, some people use plastic.
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:13.600
So I think that's more of like a practitioner choice rather than an effectiveness.
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:14.159
Okay.
00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:14.799
All right.
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:16.159
I have no idea what this is.
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:17.039
K-taping.
00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:18.320
Kinesio taping.
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:18.879
Oh, okay.
00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:19.200
Yeah.
00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:21.679
And both of these things are have been popular.
00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:27.759
You've seen all the guys in the Olympics with all the cupping mark, the round circles, and the and the covered in K-tape.
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:30.399
Covered in the in the neon tape.
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:34.159
So I think I would probably give K-taping like a five out of ten.
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:38.960
It doesn't have the best research, but it definitely has more than it used to.
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:46.159
And I had an ailment in 2019 that I did a lot for, but then I did do some appropriate K-taping and it made a huge difference.
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:49.919
Yeah, I I'd be in the same realm, five, six, somewhere in through there.
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:51.440
It's just kind of inconvenient.
00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:53.600
It comes off easily and you got to reapply it.
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:54.879
It's tough.
00:09:55.360 --> 00:10:02.639
And uh you so many people you can just go buy it at the store, and uh my boy's a runner, and I I've seen some of the athletes just put it on.
00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:06.000
Well, there's a lot more to it than just putting a piece of tape on you.
00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:08.720
And so Yeah, you have to put the right amount of tension on it.
00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:13.519
Yeah, I would imagine it probably doesn't work great for a lot of people when they just slap it on.
00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:15.519
But I don't hate it.
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:16.000
No.
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:16.639
Okay.
00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:18.480
Dry needling.
00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:20.639
I don't know much about it.
00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:21.600
Seven out of ten.
00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:22.000
Okay.
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:27.679
Depends on the ailment, but usually to encourage healing and help people get over injuries quicker.
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:30.960
Sometimes you can hook it up to a little bit of an electrical current.
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:32.240
I like it.
00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:34.879
It does really well for plantar fascia issues.
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:36.720
I'd say seven out of ten.
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:42.720
It's just the problem with dry needling is some people are afraid of needles and sometimes it can be uncomfortable to do.
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:43.440
All right.
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:47.440
So it might be a completely stupid question, but why is it dry needling?
00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:49.679
What the the wording behind it?
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:59.279
So basically you're using small hair-like needles, and it's basically like an acupuncture needle, and you're putting it into it's it's not using like meridians like acupuncture does.
00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:04.480
It's like directly treating a trigger point or an injured muscle or a hurt lobac or something like that.
00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:10.879
So if you're just taking the needle and inserting it into the skin, so it's just a really tiny acupuncture needle.
00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:11.840
Makes sense.
00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:12.639
All right.
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:14.720
Therapeutic exercise.
00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:15.759
Nine out of ten.
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:16.799
Yeah, absolutely.
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:18.320
It's all about the motion.
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:20.720
If you're stiff, nothing's gonna work right.
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:26.080
You need to get things moving and doing and and all those things attached to the joints, and it just affects everything.
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:31.840
And I know there's some c controversy too between physical therapists and chiropractors, not all of them.
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:36.320
I absolutely love all the physical therapists that I work with and we all treat each other.
00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:46.480
But I think sometimes there's chiropractors that are trying to do certain types of rehab that they don't know enough about, or there's physical therapists trying to adjust and maybe they didn't have that particular training.
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:48.639
So I think there's some controversy there.
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:52.559
But I absolutely love adjusting someone and I love that part of it.
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:58.480
I don't necessarily love sitting through and rehabbing someone, but I love when people have both at the same time.
00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:00.000
So I love physical therapy.
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:00.720
I think it's great.
00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:01.279
Okay.
00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:04.000
This next one, I have no idea what it is.
00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:05.360
Tens unit.
00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:06.879
A lot of people like them.
00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:08.080
I I don't like the feel of it.
00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:09.039
So I'm gonna go low.
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:09.840
I'm gonna go three.
00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:10.320
Oh, okay.
00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:11.759
Yeah, I'd say like four out of ten.
00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:13.919
The problem is, is you can buy those at the store.
00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:15.440
People wear them way too long.
00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:16.000
That's true.
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:20.399
They get totally desensitized, they they don't use it right.
00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:23.759
They're trying to do it to block that pain response.
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:25.440
I just think it's okay.
00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:29.919
It's good for to relax some tissues if you have some injury and stuff, but it's okay.
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:30.720
What is it?
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:31.600
What what does it do?
00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:35.759
It's uh two little electrodes and it just creates a uh pulsation.
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:36.399
Oh, okay.
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:38.799
It's like little sticky pads that you put on.
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:43.919
And and it's to kind of get just the muscles to twitch and fire a little bit.
00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:50.000
Um, once again, to bring some blood flow into the area, get them to relax, you know, kind of tire them out so they can relax.
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:51.840
Kind of contracts and fatigues, yeah.
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:52.399
Okay.
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:53.360
So I've I've seen those before.
00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:54.399
I just didn't know what they were called.
00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:55.279
Yeah.
00:12:55.600 --> 00:12:56.960
Next one, I have one of these.
00:12:57.120 --> 00:12:58.000
So does Courtney.
00:12:58.240 --> 00:12:59.519
Weighted vests.
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:02.559
I guess it depends on what you're using it for.
00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:03.039
Right.
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:07.279
So I guess if you're using it for bone density issues, I would probably give it a seven out of ten.
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:08.000
Okay.
00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:15.519
But if you're doing it to try to burn calories and use it that way, just to be more efficient with your exercising, I would give it a two out of ten.
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:21.840
Yeah, and I think the research, if I'm not mistaken, yeah, it doesn't really bring that much more to the exercise world.
00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:25.759
But you think, oh, I'm carrying more weight, so I've got to be working harder.
00:13:25.919 --> 00:13:34.879
Um, but just walking or doing whatever, I don't really think it changes your muscle combination of how your body's firing.
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:45.120
There was a PubMed article that was released, I think it was maybe a year or two ago, that was talking about if you walked a 5K in a best versus not, it was only like 35 additional calories were burnt or something like that.
00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:47.679
So I can't remember the exact exactly.
00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:49.519
So that part, it wasn't necessarily worth it.
00:13:49.600 --> 00:13:59.120
But some of my women who are small females who have bone density issues, osteoporosis issues, the problem is this people probably aren't wearing the right size either.
00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:02.080
Um, but they recommend like 10% of your weight to wear.
00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:04.480
Eight to 10, 8 to 12.
00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:06.159
Depends on what your end goal is.
00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:10.960
Um, but another problem with that is is all day long we're causing compression on the spine.
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:13.840
So then these people go do activity with compression on the spine.
00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:21.120
So if you have disc injuries or if you don't necessarily have bone density issues, or if you're trying to do it to be in a calorie deficit, I don't think it's beneficial.
00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:21.440
Yeah.
00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:21.840
Okay.
00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:22.159
Yeah.
00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:24.399
How is it supposed to help with bone density?
00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:38.559
So anytime you add weight to if you have somebody who has a decrease in weight, you want to either lift weights or have a weighted vest or have the ankle and wrist weights because it's going to cause your bone to get stronger.
00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:39.120
Okay.
00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:40.720
It increases the density in it.
00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:48.960
Bones need that impact, just like you build a muscle by exercising it, the bone is built by having some compression to it.
00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:51.440
Um, the harder it's hit, the more it has to grow.
00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:52.320
It has to grow.
00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:59.440
And then a lot of older people, when they are tight and stuff, they want to go swimming, or it's an easier but still good way to move your body.
00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:01.600
But that's the worst thing if you have bone density issues.
00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:02.159
Okay.
00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:02.639
All right.
00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:09.919
Well, the stat you gave a minute ago, my weighted vest is probably too light for me then because it's it's one of those that doesn't look like a weighted vest.
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:12.159
I don't know if you've seen the ion brand ones.
00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:15.600
You know, they there looks like a nicer vest you could wear to work or something like that.
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:18.240
So it's I think it's only six or eight pounds.
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:19.519
You know, I think what'd you say?
00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:19.840
10%.
00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:25.120
Yeah, they say like eight to ten or eight to twelve percent of your weight is what you know I will say.
00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:28.159
Uh ideally should start out with two pounds is not ten percent of my body weight.
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:29.919
So maybe up that a little bit, Robert.
00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:30.320
That's right.
00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:31.840
And I think that needs to be up a little bit.
00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:32.159
Yeah.
00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:33.600
So all right.
00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:36.399
Oh, we've got one of these too, a massage gun.
00:15:36.559 --> 00:15:37.120
Feels good.
00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:37.919
Feels good.
00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:39.519
I'll give it a six.
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:41.360
Seven out of ten for sure.
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:42.559
Yeah, it feels good.
00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:43.919
It loosens some things up.
00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:48.080
It's a good way after you do activity for muscle recovery, too.
00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:49.200
Patients love it.
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:51.360
99% of patients love it.
00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:52.159
Yeah, feels good.
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:53.360
A lot of things feel good.
00:15:53.679 --> 00:15:56.639
Is there anything with that that you could hurt yourself with that if you're not?
00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:57.759
Yeah, don't put it on your neck.
00:15:57.919 --> 00:15:59.120
People put it on their neck all the time.
00:15:59.200 --> 00:15:59.679
Don't do that.
00:15:59.919 --> 00:16:03.759
Yeah, you you you want it into the the meaty part of the tissue.
00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:05.120
And don't overdo it.
00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:05.519
Yeah.
00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:09.679
A lot of people just hold it on there for all night long while they're sitting on the couch.
00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:11.679
Yeah, don't do that.
00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:13.039
Okay.
00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:14.480
A little's good.
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:18.399
Oh, I've heard a little bit about these toe separators.
00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:20.879
Love eight out of ten.
00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:22.399
Eight point five out of ten.
00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:23.679
I'm gonna go low.
00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:28.720
We're gonna go like two or something.
00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:33.440
Um there's a lot of new research on foot health that I've gotten really into.
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:35.679
And uh I think it's really important.
00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:38.240
And and so I don't mind the premise of it.
00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:46.000
I would much rather um do that actively of spreading the toes and doing it that way versus just putting a wedge in there.
00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:46.799
I don't disagree.
00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:47.919
The problem is people don't do that.
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:48.559
Well, that's true.
00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:50.320
So this is kind of an easy way to get it done.
00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:59.679
There's an Instagram page called Gate Happens, G-A-I-T happens, and it's a group of physical therapists, and it is really good for foot health because it's basically the foundation of everything.
00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:04.000
So And these toe separators, it's like just a little like you said, wedges that go in between.
00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:05.680
It kind of looks like the pedicure thing.
00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:06.160
Yeah, yeah.
00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:08.079
But I like the jelly ones.
00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:23.359
There's some on Amazon called yoga toes, and I like to put those in the freezer, and then after I work, I stretch my feet out, stretch my toes out, and then I put the toe separators in from the freezer, so it's kind of anti-inflammatory, but then it also is really good to get all of your foot stretched back out after being crammed all day.
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:23.759
Okay.
00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:25.680
How long do you typically need to wear those?
00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:27.279
Work up to 20 minutes a night.
00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:33.119
I started with 10 and at first it was I could barely get them in there just because it's you gotta get used to it like anything else.
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:33.759
You gotta train it.
00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:36.960
Sometimes I'll wear it for about 30 minutes a night, but I'd say on average 20 minutes a night.
00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:37.440
Okay.
00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:38.160
Or a day.
00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:43.839
Really the big thing here is so many people's shoes are too tight and just squeezes all the toes together.
00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:48.000
Well, more barefoot time outside in the yard is gonna is gonna be great for you.
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:49.200
Absolutely.
00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:50.000
All right.
00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:53.440
I'm not sure exactly what these are, but I could imagine.
00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:54.720
Posture correctors.
00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:55.519
Two out of ten.
00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:56.960
Yeah, I'm gonna be in the same boat.
00:17:57.279 --> 00:18:00.000
And the rationale is kind of just like the toe separators.
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:07.440
Um, you know, I'm sure there's a handful of people that they would be really beneficial for, but the general population, not so much.
00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:15.279
I think the problem with them is people wear them and it might hold them back, but then their muscles aren't necessarily working because it's like holding that position for them.
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:17.839
And so then they take it off and they're just weakened.
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:18.319
Yeah.
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:19.920
They're not necessarily training it.
00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:22.640
I think the best thing for posture would be therapeutic exercise.
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:23.119
Right.
00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:30.799
It's just your body gets used to, if you keep it in that, you know, like the the the weight belt, if you wear that all day long, your body never has to work.
00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:35.279
So it if you take it off, well, it's where was my help at?
00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:36.480
And it gets weak.
00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:38.720
So what would a posture corrector look like?
00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:40.240
Are there various kinds?
00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:43.119
They kind of look like a little ropey vest almost.
00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:48.160
Some of them have velcro, some of them have straps, they go around your shoulders and like tighten them so it pulls your shoulders back.
00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:48.559
Okay.
00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:52.480
So a lot of people want to wear them at a desk or I don't know.
00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:56.960
I guess if it reminds you to have good posture, but it doesn't do the work for you, it's not a bad idea.
00:18:57.279 --> 00:18:57.599
Yeah.
00:18:58.000 --> 00:18:59.119
Short periods of time.
00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:02.319
You know, if you're wearing it all day, I'm gonna give it a zero.
00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:12.559
But if you're wearing it just here and there to just like the weight belt, if you if you wear it while you're doing a big lift or doing a limited amount of work, but then take it off the rest of the day, you're good to go.
00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:13.359
I agree.
00:19:13.519 --> 00:19:13.680
Okay.
00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:15.599
This next one, I've got one of these.
00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:16.960
Vibration plate.
00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:17.680
I like it.
00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:18.240
Love it.
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:20.000
I'll give it a six.
00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:20.960
Seven out of ten.
00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:21.680
Okay.
00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:23.680
I think that's another thing.
00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:31.839
In chiropractic school, we had a really nice, expensive, well-functioning one that had a certain level of vibration with it.
00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:38.480
I think that you can buy some of these really crummy ones off a TikTok shop and Amazon, and they're maybe not necessarily doing anything.
00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:45.119
But I think for lymphatic flow and muscle relaxation and even just supporting the joints.
00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:47.200
So, you know, you're getting mobility in it.
00:19:47.359 --> 00:19:47.519
Yeah.
00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:48.000
I like them.
00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:48.799
If it's a good one.
00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:52.960
Just for a second, yeah, I think because it's thrown out there a lot, and I don't think people know what it is.
00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:54.079
Lymphatic flow.
00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:56.000
We just said or lymphatic drainage.
00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:58.559
People say that all the time, but what is that?
00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:02.000
Well, everybody's heard of the lymph nodes and that lymphatic system.
00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:12.559
You could describe it as that would be another way where your body has highways and your lymph nodes are filtering or protecting um your body against certain things.
00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:18.079
And so people get lymphatic flow issues for a lot of different reasons.
00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:21.920
It could be surgical, it could be illness.
00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:27.359
And so it helps to remove the traffic jams of the highways in your body.
00:20:27.599 --> 00:20:27.920
Okay.
00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:32.240
Next one I've seen a lot, but I've never actually used myself the mouth tape.
00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:33.599
We're gonna go low.
00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:35.759
Oh, I feel a zero coming on.
00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:37.599
Well, we may go zero.
00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:40.079
I, you know, I it's not out of the question here.
00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:50.160
I think it depends on what you're using it for because I do a lot of this is where we differ because I do a lot of pediatric and small child stuff.
00:20:50.400 --> 00:20:51.920
And we work a lot with Dr.
00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:58.799
Lisa Baines, and she does a lot of the tongue lip tie release and a lot of the swollen tonsils, small airway.
00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:00.160
The airways are so important.
00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:03.039
If you're a mouth breather, it changes the structure of your whole face.
00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:12.079
The problem is mouth taping isn't for everyone because if you have deviated septum or if you have a small nasal passageway, or if you have inflamed tonsils, it's not really safe to use it.
00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:22.720
But if you're doing it in regards to trying to get better, deeper sleep and to have a better formed mouth and face, I would give it like seven out of ten.
00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:23.599
Okay.
00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:27.759
Is there is there different types of mouth tape?
00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:32.799
I mean, or like I'm not sure I would assume there's a quality spectrum, just like that.
00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:40.480
The fancy hypoallergenic.
00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:41.839
It's a lot better now.
00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:42.400
Okay.
00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:42.960
All right.
00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:46.960
Next one seems to have been, I mean, it's trendy at some point.
00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:49.200
Stand standing desk.
00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:50.400
Nine out of ten.
00:21:50.559 --> 00:21:50.799
Yeah.
00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:52.079
Yeah, it's it's up there.
00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:59.279
And they're they're so nice because you can you can sit for a little bit, stand for a little bit, um, move around, just not get stuck in one position all day.
00:21:59.519 --> 00:21:59.599
Yeah.
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:00.480
Sitting at a desk.
00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:01.359
Sit down for too long.
00:22:01.440 --> 00:22:02.000
I get really ants.
00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:03.200
I mean, one, I get antsy.
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:04.240
I don't like being sitting.
00:22:04.799 --> 00:22:05.920
And it's horrible for your spine.
00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:08.799
It shortens your hip flexors and then they stay in that position for long.
00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:10.640
So they make those walking pads now.
00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:19.359
So I love if someone has the option, I tell them to get a standing desk, get a walking pad, put it on a slow pace, get your steps in throughout the day, get your body moving.
00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:20.160
I love them.
00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:21.119
Heck yeah.
00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:22.319
There we go.
00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:23.680
Foam roller.
00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:24.640
I've got one of these too.
00:22:24.799 --> 00:22:24.960
Yeah.
00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:25.359
Good.
00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:26.319
I love a foam roller.
00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:26.720
Yeah.
00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:27.599
It feels good.
00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:29.519
Work some tightness out.
00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:30.799
Get some of the knots out.
00:22:31.440 --> 00:22:32.799
I'll give it a six, seven.
00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:33.119
Yeah.
00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:35.279
Seven out of ten for sure.
00:22:35.440 --> 00:22:37.119
I think for all of our younger listeners too.
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:38.319
I was just gonna say, good job.
00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:39.200
Wyatt's gonna look at it.
00:22:39.839 --> 00:22:40.880
Nice job on that one.
00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:42.880
Wyatt school banned it.
00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:44.880
They they got together as a class and banned it.
00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:47.839
So I had so many little ones say that too.
00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:49.359
No, I think foam rolling's good.
00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:50.000
I think it feels good.
00:22:50.079 --> 00:22:51.359
I think it's good for thoracic extension.
00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:52.960
I think you can do good training on it.
00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:53.680
I think it's good.
00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:55.359
Yeah, it's uh pretty useful.
00:22:55.839 --> 00:23:00.880
Anything people should be careful of with that if they're rolling their back on that thing all the time.
00:23:01.119 --> 00:23:05.759
I mean, I think you can overdo it and then the curve of your spine changes in your low back.
00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:14.079
So you have your cervical lordosis, your thoracic kyphosis, where it changes, it comes back, and then in the lumbar spine it goes in again.
00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:19.920
So if you foam roll at the low back, you're shoving what's already in in more and you're kind of dressing those joints.
00:23:20.079 --> 00:23:24.480
So I always tell patients don't necessarily foam roll the low low back.
00:23:24.559 --> 00:23:28.400
You can do glutes and sacrum and stuff, that area, but I always say maybe don't do that part.
00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:29.119
Gotcha.
00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:29.839
All right.
00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:33.279
Next one, I have one of these infrared sauna.
00:23:33.759 --> 00:23:34.640
I hear good things.
00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:35.920
I don't know a ton about it.
00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:40.240
Um, but from what uh uh from what I hear, I I'd give it seven.
00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:41.599
Yeah, eight out of ten.
00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:43.599
And we've talked about that before.
00:23:43.839 --> 00:23:48.480
The infrared, you really have to have good quality lights, right?
00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:50.079
You can't just buy the cheapest stuff that you find.
00:23:50.480 --> 00:23:51.839
And it's consistency also.
00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:54.880
And um there's some people that can't do it.
00:23:55.039 --> 00:24:00.240
Cardiac patients I think if you can do it and if it's safe and you have clearance, I think it's a good thing.
00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:00.720
Okay.
00:24:01.039 --> 00:24:03.599
Any how often you should do it or anything like that?
00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:06.400
I think it depends on what your end goal is, like why you're using it.
00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:08.480
It depends on the strength, it depends on what you're using it for.
00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:09.599
So I can't really answer that.
00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:10.160
Okay.
00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:12.480
That answer could be all over the board for sure.
00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:13.200
Gotcha.
00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:16.160
Diaphromatic breathing.
00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:19.279
Diaphragmatic.
00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:19.839
Pretty fancy.
00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:22.160
You better explain what that's 10 out of 10 for me.
00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:23.200
Wow, ten.
00:24:24.079 --> 00:24:26.400
Um that's like the basis of everything, I think.
00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:28.400
I don't have a problem with it.
00:24:28.480 --> 00:24:30.240
Um we'll we'll go we'll go eight.
00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:32.240
I mean, you should probably breathe anyway.
00:24:32.319 --> 00:24:44.480
So the problem is is everybody breathes from their chest, they get tight up front, they get round shoulders, anterior head carriage, tight muscles, weak in the back.
00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:47.279
We don't breathe from down here, so we don't have any coarsibility.
00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:50.319
So that leads to low back pain, pelvic floor dysfunction.
00:24:50.720 --> 00:24:57.440
Well, and then even taking those deep breaths, uh, it's gonna move your organs around and it gets them to function a little bit better too.
00:24:57.680 --> 00:24:59.920
So yeah, it's it's important.
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:04.400
Um practicing it every day five to ten minutes is very it would be difficult for most people.
00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:05.039
It's it's tough.
00:25:05.359 --> 00:25:06.079
Most people can't do it.
00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:07.440
It's very difficult.
00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:11.359
You might have to do a whole session on that and just go through all the different things.
00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:12.400
It's wonderful.
00:25:13.039 --> 00:25:13.359
Okay.
00:25:13.759 --> 00:25:14.640
Well, this was fun.
00:25:14.799 --> 00:25:16.160
We had some good stuff in there.
00:25:16.400 --> 00:25:17.680
So we didn't disagree that much.
00:25:17.839 --> 00:25:18.240
No, nothing.
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:22.240
No, yeah, no, I was expecting more of a gulf on some of those, but no, I think you guys are pretty close on.
00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:23.039
Yeah, yeah.
00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:25.359
Most things are pretty good, pretty standard.
00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:35.279
So with all of these, whether they're on this list or these new gadgets come out, any advice for folks out there on looking at those before they start to use them?
00:25:35.440 --> 00:25:38.319
Any advice for them if they are looking at any gadget?
00:25:39.039 --> 00:25:43.279
Yeah, you know, you you gotta New isn't always the greatest.
00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:47.519
Sometimes the the time-tested things are better that have been around a little bit.
00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:49.359
Make sure the research is out there.
00:25:49.519 --> 00:25:51.680
And with anything, you can overdo it.
00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:53.680
Sometimes a little goes a long way.
00:25:53.920 --> 00:25:56.559
And I think that's where most people get in trouble with their gadgets.
00:25:57.359 --> 00:26:00.079
And just because you saw it on TikTok doesn't mean it's gonna work for you.
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:07.599
So I would say ask your trusted health professional, whether that's your chiropractor, your medical doctor, your whatever it is.
00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:11.839
I would just make sure that just because it works for one person doesn't necessarily mean it's something that would work for you.
00:26:12.160 --> 00:26:12.640
Absolutely.
00:26:12.799 --> 00:26:17.200
And if somebody out there wants you guys to be their trusted health professional, where do they go to do that?
00:26:17.519 --> 00:26:19.920
7012 Kings Mill Court in Springfield, Illinois.
00:26:20.160 --> 00:26:20.640
There you go.

Joining me in the studio, Dr.
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:16.719
Sammy Wagner and Dr.
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:17.759
Daryl Allen.
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:18.879
How are you guys doing today?
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:19.759
Doing great.
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:20.560
Fantastic.
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:22.879
Appreciate you guys coming down again for another segment.
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:25.840
Remind everybody what you guys do before we get into it.
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:37.039
We have a generalized family practice where we treat anyone from newborn all the way up to over 100 years old, all different kinds of ailments and issues, and we also do some wellness care.
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:37.840
All right.
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:40.879
So today we're gonna do something pretty fun, I think.
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:44.159
So we're gonna rate some chiropractic gadgets.
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:47.759
Everybody loves a good gadget, or at least a lot of people like good gadget, maybe.
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:49.919
We'll see if you guys both like these gadgets or not.
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:50.960
It'll be fun.
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:59.199
So with social media and everything, gadgets can be just thrown at people, not just chiropractic gadgets, but for everything in the health and wellness realm.
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:02.319
You see them all over Instagram and Facebook and TikTok and everything.
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:05.919
So they are pretty popular right now in terms of everybody sees them.
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:09.039
So I'm interested to see what you guys rate these bad boys.
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:11.360
We've got like 21 of them on here.
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:17.280
So we're gonna go through and rapid fire, but also give the audience a little bit of explanation on what that thing is.
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:17.919
Okay, great.
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:18.879
So all right.
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:21.120
So number one, inversion.
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:24.400
Before I before I begin, the rating is zero to ten, folks.
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:25.120
Zero to ten.
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:25.439
Okay.
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:27.919
So 10 being ten being what?
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:31.759
Awesome being the greatest works wonders for everybody.
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:32.240
Yeah.
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:32.719
Okay.
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:33.280
All right.
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:35.840
So one inversion table.
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:37.919
Five out of ten.
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:39.759
Six.
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:40.800
I'll go six.
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:42.080
You guys are pretty close on that one.
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:43.439
Then what's an inversion table?
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:52.080
Well, it's uh a table where you hook your feet, knees in, and it turns you upside down to provide a little distraction in the spine.
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:52.400
Okay.
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:54.000
See like a decompression table.
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:54.479
Yeah.
00:03:54.560 --> 00:04:03.520
So if you have like disc issues, or if you have a job where you sit or bend forward a lot, or if you don't have a lot of mobility in your spine, I don't think an inversion table is a bad idea.
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:05.840
No, no, it can bring some benefit.
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:07.439
Take a little pressure off.
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:09.439
This next one kind of has a fun name.
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:11.520
I don't know what it is, a neck hammock.
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:16.879
I guess it depends on which one you get, but I would say, I don't like four out of ten.
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:18.959
Five.
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:32.240
And and this one's uh there's a there's a number of different versions of it, but one that a lot of people see is like a like a weighted bag that goes over the door frame, over the door, and you put your head in it to kind of lift it up.
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:32.959
Oh, okay.
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:40.879
It's very similar to the inversion table in it's what it's trying to what it's trying to accomplish, but more specifically for the neck.
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:42.079
Gotcha.
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:47.759
This next one I've used a number of times over the years, even growing up, I think it was one that my mom always had.
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:49.279
So biofreeze.
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:50.240
Yeah.
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:51.360
Feels good.
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:52.480
Four out of ten.
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:53.279
Yeah.
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:54.480
Well, four is good.
00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:55.279
I think it's great.
00:04:55.360 --> 00:05:02.160
Like if you are getting ready to go for a run or after a run, or if you, you know, have had a long day, or if you've worked out a lot, I think it feels good.
00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:04.560
I think there are better products out there.
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:09.600
Well, everything in that uh arena is it kind of just overrides some of the pain sensors.
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:10.639
It's cooling.
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:12.480
It feels good, but feels good.
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:13.920
How much does it really do?
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:15.839
It's short term.
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:16.160
Yeah.
00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:18.480
I think I've used one um like deep blue.
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:19.360
Yeah, I love deep blue.
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:20.480
That's the one we use now.
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:21.360
The biofreeze.
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:23.279
I remember using that one growing up at some point.
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:25.759
Yeah, I would rate deep blue higher than biofreeze for sure.
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:26.160
Yeah.
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:26.480
Okay.
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:27.680
Definitely a little stronger.
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:29.040
I'm on the right track there then.
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:29.439
Yes.
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:32.399
Next one, class four laser therapy.
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:33.439
Eight out of ten.
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:34.720
Oh man.
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:35.360
Uh-oh.
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:37.279
We'll give it a we'll give it a seven.
00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:37.920
All right.
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:38.639
Yeah.
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:39.360
Yeah.
00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:42.560
Uh this she likes the gadgets way more than I do.
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:45.360
Uh, I'm kind of more the old school chiropractor.
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:52.399
But there's a lot of really good research on the problem is is there's a lot of lasers out there that you can just buy online or buy on Amazon that are cheap.
00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:56.480
A good quality laser is tens of thousands of dollars.
00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:59.680
Like they're not, but there's a lot of really good research on laser therapy.
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:05.360
And I think to encourage healing and cellular regeneration, it's it's pretty good.
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:05.839
Okay.
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:08.079
So, I mean, is that is that what it's for?
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:09.920
Cellular regeneration.
00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:10.639
Okay.
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:11.279
Gotcha.
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:12.000
All right.
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:13.439
Ooh, another fun name.
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:14.480
I have no idea what it does.
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:15.439
Shockwave.
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:17.279
8.5 out of 10.
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:18.720
I'll I'll give it an eight.
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:21.040
That one's that one's kind of a newer one on the market.
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:23.040
Well, it's actually not that new.
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:28.959
It the technology's been around for a long time, but it's uh they they've improved it and changed what it does.
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:40.959
That one blasts a sound wave deep into the tissues to once again change some of the cellular healing, break through some of the scar tissue and adhesions in a joint and bring some blood flow.
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:42.399
It's really good.
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:44.560
It's it's just different than laser.
00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:46.720
You just use them for different things.
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:49.920
One's for more acute, one's for more chronic.
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:52.319
And uh I like shockwave a lot.
00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:54.079
I think I'd like to try that one.
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:54.800
It'd be fun.
00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:55.279
Yeah.
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:57.839
And all these things, there's so many companies out there.
00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:02.800
It's I had I had one for a short time, but it wasn't the right fit for me, that model.
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:09.680
So I I need to research it a little bit more to find uh one that I I think would be more useful in in the office.
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:10.319
Mm-hmm.
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:10.800
Okay.
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:15.600
Next one, I've used this before icing and cryotherapy.
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:16.720
Big fan.
00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:17.600
I'm gonna go eight.
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:18.639
Yeah, maybe nine.
00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:19.759
Oh, nine.
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:20.079
Yeah.
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:30.160
I wouldn't give it more than eight, but I think icing, especially after injury, I know there's some conflict on that, but for the most part, I it's great for inflammation, I think.
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:31.759
Yeah, you can't go wrong with icing.
00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:35.920
And the difference between just straight icing and cryotherapy.
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:44.560
Cryotherapy chambers, it's kind of a fancy, quick, global way of decreasing inflammation in the body, I would say.
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:45.040
Right.
00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:47.600
Um, but a good old ice pack will do.
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:48.079
Yeah.
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:48.480
Okay.
00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:54.319
With the cryotherapy chambers is similar to do ice baths and cold plunges and things like that.
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:54.879
Similar, yeah.
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:55.439
Similar.
00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:55.920
Similar.
00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:57.040
Just a whole body.
00:07:57.360 --> 00:07:57.519
Right.
00:07:57.600 --> 00:07:58.000
Just everything.
00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:00.160
Yeah, instead of just your up to here or whatever.
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:00.399
Yeah.
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:03.199
I don't think I've ever dunked my head in my polar plunge.
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:05.680
I don't believe I've done that.
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:07.120
So all right.
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:07.839
Next thing.
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:13.120
Cupping's good.
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:16.319
Um I'll give it a we'll go seven.
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:16.800
Yeah.
00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:17.360
Yeah.
00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:18.560
I would agree with that.
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:20.160
Six or seven out of ten.
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:20.800
Yeah.
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:28.800
It's I like cupping and people think normally it feels really good and they get a lot of immediate relief with it and decrease in muscle tension.
00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:29.279
Yeah.
00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:33.200
Uh so many of these things is to to bring blood flow into an area.
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:39.360
Obviously, if there's more nutrients and more blood flow, uh it's going to promote some healing instead of an area getting stagnant.
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:41.039
So it's definitely good for recovery.
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:41.679
Right.
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:42.960
So how does it work?
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:50.320
You've got like I don't know if they're like suctions, but they you've got the little cup thing, you put it on their back or wherever, and it starts pulling the skin up and the whatever, right?
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:52.240
There's a number of different types.
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:53.759
Uh, they all function.
00:08:54.000 --> 00:09:00.639
The the outcome is the same, but it yeah, it creates a suction on the skin and and opens up the different layers of tissues.
00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:05.039
And some of them you can kind of work around and work through some adhesions in in that area.
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:05.759
Mm-hmm.
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:09.759
Some of them use fire, some of them are silicone cups, some people use plastic.
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:13.600
So I think that's more of like a practitioner choice rather than an effectiveness.
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:14.159
Okay.
00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:14.799
All right.
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:16.159
I have no idea what this is.
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:17.039
K-taping.
00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:18.320
Kinesio taping.
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:18.879
Oh, okay.
00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:19.200
Yeah.
00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:21.679
And both of these things are have been popular.
00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:27.759
You've seen all the guys in the Olympics with all the cupping mark, the round circles, and the and the covered in K-tape.
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:30.399
Covered in the in the neon tape.
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:34.159
So I think I would probably give K-taping like a five out of ten.
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:38.960
It doesn't have the best research, but it definitely has more than it used to.
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:46.159
And I had an ailment in 2019 that I did a lot for, but then I did do some appropriate K-taping and it made a huge difference.
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:49.919
Yeah, I I'd be in the same realm, five, six, somewhere in through there.
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:51.440
It's just kind of inconvenient.
00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:53.600
It comes off easily and you got to reapply it.
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:54.879
It's tough.
00:09:55.360 --> 00:10:02.639
And uh you so many people you can just go buy it at the store, and uh my boy's a runner, and I I've seen some of the athletes just put it on.
00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:06.000
Well, there's a lot more to it than just putting a piece of tape on you.
00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:08.720
And so Yeah, you have to put the right amount of tension on it.
00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:13.519
Yeah, I would imagine it probably doesn't work great for a lot of people when they just slap it on.
00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:15.519
But I don't hate it.
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:16.000
No.
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:16.639
Okay.
00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:18.480
Dry needling.
00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:20.639
I don't know much about it.
00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:21.600
Seven out of ten.
00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:22.000
Okay.
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:27.679
Depends on the ailment, but usually to encourage healing and help people get over injuries quicker.
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:30.960
Sometimes you can hook it up to a little bit of an electrical current.
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:32.240
I like it.
00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:34.879
It does really well for plantar fascia issues.
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:36.720
I'd say seven out of ten.
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:42.720
It's just the problem with dry needling is some people are afraid of needles and sometimes it can be uncomfortable to do.
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:43.440
All right.
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:47.440
So it might be a completely stupid question, but why is it dry needling?
00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:49.679
What the the wording behind it?
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:59.279
So basically you're using small hair-like needles, and it's basically like an acupuncture needle, and you're putting it into it's it's not using like meridians like acupuncture does.
00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:04.480
It's like directly treating a trigger point or an injured muscle or a hurt lobac or something like that.
00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:10.879
So if you're just taking the needle and inserting it into the skin, so it's just a really tiny acupuncture needle.
00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:11.840
Makes sense.
00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:12.639
All right.
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:14.720
Therapeutic exercise.
00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:15.759
Nine out of ten.
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:16.799
Yeah, absolutely.
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:18.320
It's all about the motion.
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:20.720
If you're stiff, nothing's gonna work right.
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:26.080
You need to get things moving and doing and and all those things attached to the joints, and it just affects everything.
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:31.840
And I know there's some c controversy too between physical therapists and chiropractors, not all of them.
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:36.320
I absolutely love all the physical therapists that I work with and we all treat each other.
00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:46.480
But I think sometimes there's chiropractors that are trying to do certain types of rehab that they don't know enough about, or there's physical therapists trying to adjust and maybe they didn't have that particular training.
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:48.639
So I think there's some controversy there.
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:52.559
But I absolutely love adjusting someone and I love that part of it.
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:58.480
I don't necessarily love sitting through and rehabbing someone, but I love when people have both at the same time.
00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:00.000
So I love physical therapy.
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:00.720
I think it's great.
00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:01.279
Okay.
00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:04.000
This next one, I have no idea what it is.
00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:05.360
Tens unit.
00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:06.879
A lot of people like them.
00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:08.080
I I don't like the feel of it.
00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:09.039
So I'm gonna go low.
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:09.840
I'm gonna go three.
00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:10.320
Oh, okay.
00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:11.759
Yeah, I'd say like four out of ten.
00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:13.919
The problem is, is you can buy those at the store.
00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:15.440
People wear them way too long.
00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:16.000
That's true.
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:20.399
They get totally desensitized, they they don't use it right.
00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:23.759
They're trying to do it to block that pain response.
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:25.440
I just think it's okay.
00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:29.919
It's good for to relax some tissues if you have some injury and stuff, but it's okay.
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:30.720
What is it?
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:31.600
What what does it do?
00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:35.759
It's uh two little electrodes and it just creates a uh pulsation.
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:36.399
Oh, okay.
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:38.799
It's like little sticky pads that you put on.
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:43.919
And and it's to kind of get just the muscles to twitch and fire a little bit.
00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:50.000
Um, once again, to bring some blood flow into the area, get them to relax, you know, kind of tire them out so they can relax.
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:51.840
Kind of contracts and fatigues, yeah.
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:52.399
Okay.
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:53.360
So I've I've seen those before.
00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:54.399
I just didn't know what they were called.
00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:55.279
Yeah.
00:12:55.600 --> 00:12:56.960
Next one, I have one of these.
00:12:57.120 --> 00:12:58.000
So does Courtney.
00:12:58.240 --> 00:12:59.519
Weighted vests.
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:02.559
I guess it depends on what you're using it for.
00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:03.039
Right.
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:07.279
So I guess if you're using it for bone density issues, I would probably give it a seven out of ten.
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:08.000
Okay.
00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:15.519
But if you're doing it to try to burn calories and use it that way, just to be more efficient with your exercising, I would give it a two out of ten.
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:21.840
Yeah, and I think the research, if I'm not mistaken, yeah, it doesn't really bring that much more to the exercise world.
00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:25.759
But you think, oh, I'm carrying more weight, so I've got to be working harder.
00:13:25.919 --> 00:13:34.879
Um, but just walking or doing whatever, I don't really think it changes your muscle combination of how your body's firing.
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:45.120
There was a PubMed article that was released, I think it was maybe a year or two ago, that was talking about if you walked a 5K in a best versus not, it was only like 35 additional calories were burnt or something like that.
00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:47.679
So I can't remember the exact exactly.
00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:49.519
So that part, it wasn't necessarily worth it.
00:13:49.600 --> 00:13:59.120
But some of my women who are small females who have bone density issues, osteoporosis issues, the problem is this people probably aren't wearing the right size either.
00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:02.080
Um, but they recommend like 10% of your weight to wear.
00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:04.480
Eight to 10, 8 to 12.
00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:06.159
Depends on what your end goal is.
00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:10.960
Um, but another problem with that is is all day long we're causing compression on the spine.
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:13.840
So then these people go do activity with compression on the spine.
00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:21.120
So if you have disc injuries or if you don't necessarily have bone density issues, or if you're trying to do it to be in a calorie deficit, I don't think it's beneficial.
00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:21.440
Yeah.
00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:21.840
Okay.
00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:22.159
Yeah.
00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:24.399
How is it supposed to help with bone density?
00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:38.559
So anytime you add weight to if you have somebody who has a decrease in weight, you want to either lift weights or have a weighted vest or have the ankle and wrist weights because it's going to cause your bone to get stronger.
00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:39.120
Okay.
00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:40.720
It increases the density in it.
00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:48.960
Bones need that impact, just like you build a muscle by exercising it, the bone is built by having some compression to it.
00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:51.440
Um, the harder it's hit, the more it has to grow.
00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:52.320
It has to grow.
00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:59.440
And then a lot of older people, when they are tight and stuff, they want to go swimming, or it's an easier but still good way to move your body.
00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:01.600
But that's the worst thing if you have bone density issues.
00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:02.159
Okay.
00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:02.639
All right.
00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:09.919
Well, the stat you gave a minute ago, my weighted vest is probably too light for me then because it's it's one of those that doesn't look like a weighted vest.
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:12.159
I don't know if you've seen the ion brand ones.
00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:15.600
You know, they there looks like a nicer vest you could wear to work or something like that.
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:18.240
So it's I think it's only six or eight pounds.
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:19.519
You know, I think what'd you say?
00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:19.840
10%.
00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:25.120
Yeah, they say like eight to ten or eight to twelve percent of your weight is what you know I will say.
00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:28.159
Uh ideally should start out with two pounds is not ten percent of my body weight.
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:29.919
So maybe up that a little bit, Robert.
00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:30.320
That's right.
00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:31.840
And I think that needs to be up a little bit.
00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:32.159
Yeah.
00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:33.600
So all right.
00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:36.399
Oh, we've got one of these too, a massage gun.
00:15:36.559 --> 00:15:37.120
Feels good.
00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:37.919
Feels good.
00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:39.519
I'll give it a six.
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:41.360
Seven out of ten for sure.
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:42.559
Yeah, it feels good.
00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:43.919
It loosens some things up.
00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:48.080
It's a good way after you do activity for muscle recovery, too.
00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:49.200
Patients love it.
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:51.360
99% of patients love it.
00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:52.159
Yeah, feels good.
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:53.360
A lot of things feel good.
00:15:53.679 --> 00:15:56.639
Is there anything with that that you could hurt yourself with that if you're not?
00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:57.759
Yeah, don't put it on your neck.
00:15:57.919 --> 00:15:59.120
People put it on their neck all the time.
00:15:59.200 --> 00:15:59.679
Don't do that.
00:15:59.919 --> 00:16:03.759
Yeah, you you you want it into the the meaty part of the tissue.
00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:05.120
And don't overdo it.
00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:05.519
Yeah.
00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:09.679
A lot of people just hold it on there for all night long while they're sitting on the couch.
00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:11.679
Yeah, don't do that.
00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:13.039
Okay.
00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:14.480
A little's good.
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:18.399
Oh, I've heard a little bit about these toe separators.
00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:20.879
Love eight out of ten.
00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:22.399
Eight point five out of ten.
00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:23.679
I'm gonna go low.
00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:28.720
We're gonna go like two or something.
00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:33.440
Um there's a lot of new research on foot health that I've gotten really into.
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:35.679
And uh I think it's really important.
00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:38.240
And and so I don't mind the premise of it.
00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:46.000
I would much rather um do that actively of spreading the toes and doing it that way versus just putting a wedge in there.
00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:46.799
I don't disagree.
00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:47.919
The problem is people don't do that.
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:48.559
Well, that's true.
00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:50.320
So this is kind of an easy way to get it done.
00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:59.679
There's an Instagram page called Gate Happens, G-A-I-T happens, and it's a group of physical therapists, and it is really good for foot health because it's basically the foundation of everything.
00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:04.000
So And these toe separators, it's like just a little like you said, wedges that go in between.
00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:05.680
It kind of looks like the pedicure thing.
00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:06.160
Yeah, yeah.
00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:08.079
But I like the jelly ones.
00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:23.359
There's some on Amazon called yoga toes, and I like to put those in the freezer, and then after I work, I stretch my feet out, stretch my toes out, and then I put the toe separators in from the freezer, so it's kind of anti-inflammatory, but then it also is really good to get all of your foot stretched back out after being crammed all day.
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:23.759
Okay.
00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:25.680
How long do you typically need to wear those?
00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:27.279
Work up to 20 minutes a night.
00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:33.119
I started with 10 and at first it was I could barely get them in there just because it's you gotta get used to it like anything else.
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:33.759
You gotta train it.
00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:36.960
Sometimes I'll wear it for about 30 minutes a night, but I'd say on average 20 minutes a night.
00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:37.440
Okay.
00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:38.160
Or a day.
00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:43.839
Really the big thing here is so many people's shoes are too tight and just squeezes all the toes together.
00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:48.000
Well, more barefoot time outside in the yard is gonna is gonna be great for you.
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:49.200
Absolutely.
00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:50.000
All right.
00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:53.440
I'm not sure exactly what these are, but I could imagine.
00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:54.720
Posture correctors.
00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:55.519
Two out of ten.
00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:56.960
Yeah, I'm gonna be in the same boat.
00:17:57.279 --> 00:18:00.000
And the rationale is kind of just like the toe separators.
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:07.440
Um, you know, I'm sure there's a handful of people that they would be really beneficial for, but the general population, not so much.
00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:15.279
I think the problem with them is people wear them and it might hold them back, but then their muscles aren't necessarily working because it's like holding that position for them.
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:17.839
And so then they take it off and they're just weakened.
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:18.319
Yeah.
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:19.920
They're not necessarily training it.
00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:22.640
I think the best thing for posture would be therapeutic exercise.
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:23.119
Right.
00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:30.799
It's just your body gets used to, if you keep it in that, you know, like the the the weight belt, if you wear that all day long, your body never has to work.
00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:35.279
So it if you take it off, well, it's where was my help at?
00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:36.480
And it gets weak.
00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:38.720
So what would a posture corrector look like?
00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:40.240
Are there various kinds?
00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:43.119
They kind of look like a little ropey vest almost.
00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:48.160
Some of them have velcro, some of them have straps, they go around your shoulders and like tighten them so it pulls your shoulders back.
00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:48.559
Okay.
00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:52.480
So a lot of people want to wear them at a desk or I don't know.
00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:56.960
I guess if it reminds you to have good posture, but it doesn't do the work for you, it's not a bad idea.
00:18:57.279 --> 00:18:57.599
Yeah.
00:18:58.000 --> 00:18:59.119
Short periods of time.
00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:02.319
You know, if you're wearing it all day, I'm gonna give it a zero.
00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:12.559
But if you're wearing it just here and there to just like the weight belt, if you if you wear it while you're doing a big lift or doing a limited amount of work, but then take it off the rest of the day, you're good to go.
00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:13.359
I agree.
00:19:13.519 --> 00:19:13.680
Okay.
00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:15.599
This next one, I've got one of these.
00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:16.960
Vibration plate.
00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:17.680
I like it.
00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:18.240
Love it.
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:20.000
I'll give it a six.
00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:20.960
Seven out of ten.
00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:21.680
Okay.
00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:23.680
I think that's another thing.
00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:31.839
In chiropractic school, we had a really nice, expensive, well-functioning one that had a certain level of vibration with it.
00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:38.480
I think that you can buy some of these really crummy ones off a TikTok shop and Amazon, and they're maybe not necessarily doing anything.
00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:45.119
But I think for lymphatic flow and muscle relaxation and even just supporting the joints.
00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:47.200
So, you know, you're getting mobility in it.
00:19:47.359 --> 00:19:47.519
Yeah.
00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:48.000
I like them.
00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:48.799
If it's a good one.
00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:52.960
Just for a second, yeah, I think because it's thrown out there a lot, and I don't think people know what it is.
00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:54.079
Lymphatic flow.
00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:56.000
We just said or lymphatic drainage.
00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:58.559
People say that all the time, but what is that?
00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:02.000
Well, everybody's heard of the lymph nodes and that lymphatic system.
00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:12.559
You could describe it as that would be another way where your body has highways and your lymph nodes are filtering or protecting um your body against certain things.
00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:18.079
And so people get lymphatic flow issues for a lot of different reasons.
00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:21.920
It could be surgical, it could be illness.
00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:27.359
And so it helps to remove the traffic jams of the highways in your body.
00:20:27.599 --> 00:20:27.920
Okay.
00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:32.240
Next one I've seen a lot, but I've never actually used myself the mouth tape.
00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:33.599
We're gonna go low.
00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:35.759
Oh, I feel a zero coming on.
00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:37.599
Well, we may go zero.
00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:40.079
I, you know, I it's not out of the question here.
00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:50.160
I think it depends on what you're using it for because I do a lot of this is where we differ because I do a lot of pediatric and small child stuff.
00:20:50.400 --> 00:20:51.920
And we work a lot with Dr.
00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:58.799
Lisa Baines, and she does a lot of the tongue lip tie release and a lot of the swollen tonsils, small airway.
00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:00.160
The airways are so important.
00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:03.039
If you're a mouth breather, it changes the structure of your whole face.
00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:12.079
The problem is mouth taping isn't for everyone because if you have deviated septum or if you have a small nasal passageway, or if you have inflamed tonsils, it's not really safe to use it.
00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:22.720
But if you're doing it in regards to trying to get better, deeper sleep and to have a better formed mouth and face, I would give it like seven out of ten.
00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:23.599
Okay.
00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:27.759
Is there is there different types of mouth tape?
00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:32.799
I mean, or like I'm not sure I would assume there's a quality spectrum, just like that.
00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:40.480
The fancy hypoallergenic.
00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:41.839
It's a lot better now.
00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:42.400
Okay.
00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:42.960
All right.
00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:46.960
Next one seems to have been, I mean, it's trendy at some point.
00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:49.200
Stand standing desk.
00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:50.400
Nine out of ten.
00:21:50.559 --> 00:21:50.799
Yeah.
00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:52.079
Yeah, it's it's up there.
00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:59.279
And they're they're so nice because you can you can sit for a little bit, stand for a little bit, um, move around, just not get stuck in one position all day.
00:21:59.519 --> 00:21:59.599
Yeah.
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:00.480
Sitting at a desk.
00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:01.359
Sit down for too long.
00:22:01.440 --> 00:22:02.000
I get really ants.
00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:03.200
I mean, one, I get antsy.
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:04.240
I don't like being sitting.
00:22:04.799 --> 00:22:05.920
And it's horrible for your spine.
00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:08.799
It shortens your hip flexors and then they stay in that position for long.
00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:10.640
So they make those walking pads now.
00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:19.359
So I love if someone has the option, I tell them to get a standing desk, get a walking pad, put it on a slow pace, get your steps in throughout the day, get your body moving.
00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:20.160
I love them.
00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:21.119
Heck yeah.
00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:22.319
There we go.
00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:23.680
Foam roller.
00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:24.640
I've got one of these too.
00:22:24.799 --> 00:22:24.960
Yeah.
00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:25.359
Good.
00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:26.319
I love a foam roller.
00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:26.720
Yeah.
00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:27.599
It feels good.
00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:29.519
Work some tightness out.
00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:30.799
Get some of the knots out.
00:22:31.440 --> 00:22:32.799
I'll give it a six, seven.
00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:33.119
Yeah.
00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:35.279
Seven out of ten for sure.
00:22:35.440 --> 00:22:37.119
I think for all of our younger listeners too.
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:38.319
I was just gonna say, good job.
00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:39.200
Wyatt's gonna look at it.
00:22:39.839 --> 00:22:40.880
Nice job on that one.
00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:42.880
Wyatt school banned it.
00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:44.880
They they got together as a class and banned it.
00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:47.839
So I had so many little ones say that too.
00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:49.359
No, I think foam rolling's good.
00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:50.000
I think it feels good.
00:22:50.079 --> 00:22:51.359
I think it's good for thoracic extension.
00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:52.960
I think you can do good training on it.
00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:53.680
I think it's good.
00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:55.359
Yeah, it's uh pretty useful.
00:22:55.839 --> 00:23:00.880
Anything people should be careful of with that if they're rolling their back on that thing all the time.
00:23:01.119 --> 00:23:05.759
I mean, I think you can overdo it and then the curve of your spine changes in your low back.
00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:14.079
So you have your cervical lordosis, your thoracic kyphosis, where it changes, it comes back, and then in the lumbar spine it goes in again.
00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:19.920
So if you foam roll at the low back, you're shoving what's already in in more and you're kind of dressing those joints.
00:23:20.079 --> 00:23:24.480
So I always tell patients don't necessarily foam roll the low low back.
00:23:24.559 --> 00:23:28.400
You can do glutes and sacrum and stuff, that area, but I always say maybe don't do that part.
00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:29.119
Gotcha.
00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:29.839
All right.
00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:33.279
Next one, I have one of these infrared sauna.
00:23:33.759 --> 00:23:34.640
I hear good things.
00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:35.920
I don't know a ton about it.
00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:40.240
Um, but from what uh uh from what I hear, I I'd give it seven.
00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:41.599
Yeah, eight out of ten.
00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:43.599
And we've talked about that before.
00:23:43.839 --> 00:23:48.480
The infrared, you really have to have good quality lights, right?
00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:50.079
You can't just buy the cheapest stuff that you find.
00:23:50.480 --> 00:23:51.839
And it's consistency also.
00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:54.880
And um there's some people that can't do it.
00:23:55.039 --> 00:24:00.240
Cardiac patients I think if you can do it and if it's safe and you have clearance, I think it's a good thing.
00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:00.720
Okay.
00:24:01.039 --> 00:24:03.599
Any how often you should do it or anything like that?
00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:06.400
I think it depends on what your end goal is, like why you're using it.
00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:08.480
It depends on the strength, it depends on what you're using it for.
00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:09.599
So I can't really answer that.
00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:10.160
Okay.
00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:12.480
That answer could be all over the board for sure.
00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:13.200
Gotcha.
00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:16.160
Diaphromatic breathing.
00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:19.279
Diaphragmatic.
00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:19.839
Pretty fancy.
00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:22.160
You better explain what that's 10 out of 10 for me.
00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:23.200
Wow, ten.
00:24:24.079 --> 00:24:26.400
Um that's like the basis of everything, I think.
00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:28.400
I don't have a problem with it.
00:24:28.480 --> 00:24:30.240
Um we'll we'll go we'll go eight.
00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:32.240
I mean, you should probably breathe anyway.
00:24:32.319 --> 00:24:44.480
So the problem is is everybody breathes from their chest, they get tight up front, they get round shoulders, anterior head carriage, tight muscles, weak in the back.
00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:47.279
We don't breathe from down here, so we don't have any coarsibility.
00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:50.319
So that leads to low back pain, pelvic floor dysfunction.
00:24:50.720 --> 00:24:57.440
Well, and then even taking those deep breaths, uh, it's gonna move your organs around and it gets them to function a little bit better too.
00:24:57.680 --> 00:24:59.920
So yeah, it's it's important.
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:04.400
Um practicing it every day five to ten minutes is very it would be difficult for most people.
00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:05.039
It's it's tough.
00:25:05.359 --> 00:25:06.079
Most people can't do it.
00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:07.440
It's very difficult.
00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:11.359
You might have to do a whole session on that and just go through all the different things.
00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:12.400
It's wonderful.
00:25:13.039 --> 00:25:13.359
Okay.
00:25:13.759 --> 00:25:14.640
Well, this was fun.
00:25:14.799 --> 00:25:16.160
We had some good stuff in there.
00:25:16.400 --> 00:25:17.680
So we didn't disagree that much.
00:25:17.839 --> 00:25:18.240
No, nothing.
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:22.240
No, yeah, no, I was expecting more of a gulf on some of those, but no, I think you guys are pretty close on.
00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:23.039
Yeah, yeah.
00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:25.359
Most things are pretty good, pretty standard.
00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:35.279
So with all of these, whether they're on this list or these new gadgets come out, any advice for folks out there on looking at those before they start to use them?
00:25:35.440 --> 00:25:38.319
Any advice for them if they are looking at any gadget?
00:25:39.039 --> 00:25:43.279
Yeah, you know, you you gotta New isn't always the greatest.
00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:47.519
Sometimes the the time-tested things are better that have been around a little bit.
00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:49.359
Make sure the research is out there.
00:25:49.519 --> 00:25:51.680
And with anything, you can overdo it.
00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:53.680
Sometimes a little goes a long way.
00:25:53.920 --> 00:25:56.559
And I think that's where most people get in trouble with their gadgets.
00:25:57.359 --> 00:26:00.079
And just because you saw it on TikTok doesn't mean it's gonna work for you.
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:07.599
So I would say ask your trusted health professional, whether that's your chiropractor, your medical doctor, your whatever it is.
00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:11.839
I would just make sure that just because it works for one person doesn't necessarily mean it's something that would work for you.
00:26:12.160 --> 00:26:12.640
Absolutely.
00:26:12.799 --> 00:26:17.200
And if somebody out there wants you guys to be their trusted health professional, where do they go to do that?
00:26:17.519 --> 00:26:19.920
