Good Day Health Time Now on the Good Day program. Keep sneezing, Jack,
you're bringing out the best in my sneezes. I have done more sneezingly.
We didn't talk about this yesterday. I was in Jack's office in Salt
Lake City at his clinic. Jack is one of the masters of understanding the
body, the human body, how it works. He is one of my
great friends and we enjoy each other's company a lot. We talk about everything
in our lives and then we get down to the business of what's going on
in my body. Everybody should do and I say this lovingly, not as
a judgment thing, but y' ought to know what's going on in your body
and Jack. Both Jack and can help me. And that's why I talk
about these things on the air. I give up, as Jack and Ken
would say, my hippo writes, because I think talking about what went on
is helpful so that people get the idea of what goes on in a good
physical So I spent about four hours plus with you yesterday in your clinic and
had a number of different There are three distinct things that go on when we
have a sort of a tune up or a check up with you. One
of them is, because you're a nooka chiropractor. The upper cervical spine gets
examined. You trik X rays of me. We always laugh. So Jack
takes great pride Jay and getting out my neck is a mess. I don't
have any discs in my neck. That's just it's all over the place.
And so he had an X ray of somebody with a perfect neck, and
he said he held it up like a like a kid, say, hey,
this is what a good neck leks like here you Yeah, no,
this is not me. Decidedly not me. So anyway, explain to folks
what a Nuoka chiropractor does and how that impacted treatment with you yesterday. Well,
NUK focuses on the upper cervical spine, meaning the upper neck. And
the reason we focus on the upper neck is because everybody knows that we have
discs. Discs exist between the bones. They're not just shock absorbers, they
actually grow into the bone above, and they grow into the bone below,
and they glue the bones together, like the disk between C two and C
three will glue those two bones together. So no matter what direction you turn
your head, the whole spine moves as a unit because they're all stuck together
with discs. The thing that I address is the fact that there is no
disk between the top two bones and the neck. Between C one and C
two, there is no disk, which is what allows you the range of
motion turning your head right and left without the rest of the spine engaging.
Now, that comes at a cost. It's a very weak, floppy joint
and the right impact at the right time, it could be the birth process
if it was a difficult berth. Playground experiences growing up, trampolines, cheer
drill, football, basketball, all the contact sports. Horses four wheelers will
pound us occasionally here and there without a severe one, of course, and
that dislodges the balance point between those top two bones and the head. And
as the head begins to tip on top of the neck, muscles will tighten
up throughout the entire spine, down into the legs, down towards your feet
in order to try to keep the spine upright against gravity. Some people are
having their whole life like that, right, but other people and it starts
to hurt after a while, especially anywhere along the spine, especially the low
especially, and somebody as active as I am, it's going to take its
toll. So there are various adjustments that you can make. There's only so
much, though that you can do. I'm not Jack Is. He's always
telling me, he's amazed I can even move my neck because there's nothing there.
You have your disc shot. Yeah, yeah, So then that's how
functional the body still is. The body is incredible in its ability to try
to stabilize and recover itself even after serious injury. Yeah. So anyway,
Also as part of the process, Jack has a heart monitor machine. It
looks at the beats of your heart and how the love dub blob dub blob
dub works and you can hear the beat of your heart. Is really pretty
amazing. Well, it was developed about the same time as the EKG,
but the EKG is using electrical signals. This is using an accelerometer. This
a little accelerometer sits over top of your heart valves. You don't you know,
you don't have to take disrobe or anything. We can do it right
through clothing, and it measures the actual strength impact of the heart contraction.
Yep, and tell me yeah. Then there's the device that tells what's going
on with all of your systems, your organs and your lymph nodes and stuff
like that. And as you said, I'm thankful that things seem to be
even better. I've always been. I wonder if having the flu, the
couple of times that you and I were talking about it, whether they helped
me clean out my system? You think us Yeah, I think an awful
lot of the time, when we think we're sick, it's nothing more than
just the body going through a regular cleanse. Chinese medicine has recognized this for
thousands of years, two or three times a year, the body was to
clean itself out. We think we're sick, it's just a detox, all
right, Jack's talkwell with an overview of yours truly. The next Stefan Good
