00:00Napanood diba sa social media, itong nakakasatisfy na pagpapatunog ng leeg, ng likod, ng ulo, diba?

00:09Napapanood ko yan. May isang parang aray ko, parang masakit niya, pero comfort kasi mararamdaman mo after, no?

00:14Kaya naman ngayong umaga, sabay-sabay po nating alamin itong tungkol sa chiropractic care, diba?

00:21Kasama natin sa Dr. Rob Walsher III, a celebrity chiropractor and philanthropist.

00:26Good morning, Doc. Welcome back.

00:27Good morning, guys. Great to be back.

00:29Good to be back.

00:30Magaling na mag-Tagalog to mag-Pilipino sa Dr. Rob Walsher III.

00:32Oo, ka musta, Doc?

00:33Mabuti.

00:33Mabuti naman, because Dr. Rob has been here for 10 years already here.

00:3710 years.

00:37Mag-Tagal, ha?

00:39Tell us about this chiropractic care.

00:41How does it work?

00:42Yeah, chiropractors, we are doctors that care for the spine, right?

00:47Everyone knows you go to the chiropractor because of likod, diba?

00:50Meron sa akin, likod.

00:52So chiropractors, we focus on the spine because that is your frame.

00:56Think of your body like a car.

00:58Your spine is your frame.

01:00If your frame of your car is out of position, what's going to happen?

01:04It's going to wear the tires incorrectly, the brakes.

01:06Your car is going to break down.

01:08It is not going to perform optimally.

01:11Well, it's the same thing with our spine.

01:12If our posture is forward, if our pelvis is in deep panthai, of course, that is going to create problems.

01:18It's going to create wear and tear in shoulders and, of course, your spine and your knees and your ankles.

01:24But also the really big, important thing that is affected when your spine is not in the correct position is

01:31your nerves.

01:32Okay.

01:32Right?

01:32Our brain sends messes down the spinal cord.

01:34And your nerves communicate with everything in your body.

01:37It is your master communication pathway.

01:41So that is why you get muscle spasm, tension, pain.

01:45It's because of the stress that is built up on your spine affecting the nerves.

01:50All right.

01:51I'm just curious, though.

01:52What was the reason why you had the clinic here in the Philippines?

01:55I understand you've been here.

01:56As I said a while ago, you've been here for 10 years already.

01:59Tell us more why.

02:00Well, we sold.

02:01My clinic was purchased in San Diego.

02:04So someone bought my clinic in San Diego.

02:06And it was the first time that I was free from owning a business.

02:09And so we decided, hey, while the kids are young, chiropractic is not well known in the Philippines.

02:14Let's go there and let the kids experience Philippines culture.

02:18And then I can really educate Filipinos about this natural way of health care, which is chiropractic.

02:24Okay.

02:24How was the reception with the Filipinos about chiropractic?

02:26It was huge.

02:27My gosh.

02:28It just blew up.

02:29We just started seeing people out of a little condo we were renting.

02:32And it was full of people.

02:34It just exploded.

02:36Yeah.

02:36Okay.

02:37So if I'm interested to undergo such treatment, are there any preparations?

02:42Or also, who are the kinds of people who should go to a chiropractor?

02:46Yeah.

02:46So chiropractors, we are doctors.

02:48We have extensive education in the body and how it works.

02:51So all schools are abroad in America.

02:54Majority are in America.

02:55So you go to chiropractic school after college.

02:58So it's eight years of schooling.

02:59So you can feel very confident to get a proper diagnosis when you see a chiropractic doctor.

03:05So you don't really need any preparation.

03:07You go there and you have a consultation, history, and examination with the doctor of chiropractic.

03:13And then they might refer you to get an x-ray or an MRI.

03:16But the majority of the time, those things are not required.

03:19And as far as who is a candidate for chiropractic, really, I mean, everybody.

03:24We all have stress, right?

03:26Every single thing we do is stress, right?

03:29Whether what it is we do for work, if we're digging ditches or sitting at the computer, playing sports, how

03:35you sit, how you sleep.

03:37Again, then we have also the emotional stress that's going on in our life.

03:40And then we have the chemical stressors, things that we're taking in, such as our diet, you know, taking medication,

03:47drinking alcohol.

03:47These are all chemical stressors that affect how the body operates.

03:51So chiropractic is more of a holistic approach to health.

03:55Our goal is no medication.

03:57Our goal is to allow your body to perform and function like the way it's supposed to.

04:02All right, Doc is looking at our body.

04:05I'm thinking maybe seeing something else.

04:07Like, for instance, maybe there's something wrong with the framing of my body.

04:10I'll try to see whether we could have chiropractic services from Doc Rob.

04:14But anyway, Doc, here in the Philippines, maybe before 10 years ago, what we have here is HILOT.

04:20Yeah, yeah.

04:21Okay, other therapy.

04:24And I actually have done physical therapy.

04:26Well, I thought it's like a chiropractor thing.

04:28But what are the differences between this, chiropracting or being a chiropractor and also into massage therapy, physical therapy, and

04:37even HILOT?

04:38Yeah, so I mean, as far as I am understanding, HILOT is like massage, right?

04:43But I also now know that they do do back cracking, right?

04:47I'm not sure, but I believe it's kind of like massage.

04:49So massage and PT, you're working on the muscles, right?

04:52So you go to massage and they're rubbing your muscles.

04:55Physical therapists usually are working on the muscle.

04:58They are going to put modalities like electric stimulation, ultrasound, shockwave.

05:03They are working on the muscles.

05:04But during the PT part, it was like there is some parts of my body are being twisted and it's

05:08being noticed like that.

05:10So yeah, here in the Philippines, a lot of people do chiropractic.

05:14Even though they didn't go to chiropractic school, they are cracking the back and claiming...

05:20It's dangerous if they're not knowledgeable about it, of course.

05:22Sure, it certainly can be.

05:24I wouldn't allow somebody to adjust my spine that didn't go to chiropractic school.

05:28So here in the Philippines, there's not so much regulations.

05:31Kind of anybody can kind of say that they are or doing chiropractic.

05:36But that is the difference.

05:37PTs generally focus on muscle, like a massage.

05:41And that's great if you want an hour-long therapy session where they're working on your muscles.

05:47That's great.

05:48It can help a person feel better.

05:50So chiropractors, we believe that the reason your muscle is in spasm is because your posture is forward.

05:56So until you start to improve your posture, you're always going to have tension, headaches.

06:02So chiropractic is a very fast type of a procedure.

06:06It only takes five to ten minutes.

06:08So we are not doing any therapy.

06:10We are just adjusting the spine, the pelvis, and trying to improve movement.

06:15So we're releasing the stress in the joint.

06:17And then the reason it's so powerful is we instantly improve nerve function.

06:21So the nerve will tell the muscles to start to relax.

06:25And so that's really the power of chiropractic.

06:27We are dealing with the nervous system.

06:28We don't work on the muscle.

06:29That is the symptom.

06:32The reason your muscle is in spasm is because your joint is misaligned and the nerve is telling the muscle

06:38to tighten.

06:39So we bypass the muscle.

06:41We just go straight to the nerve by adjusting the joint.

06:43And so that brings up a great point.

06:46Why you should go to a real chiropractor's.

06:48Our schooling, we're taught exactly which nerve to adjust, which joint to adjust to influence the proper nerve.

06:55So when people come in with acid reflux, we know exactly which joint and nerve to impact.

07:02So that way we can help with the acid reflux.

07:02I'm overthinking right now which part of my body needs to...

07:07What's the term to be cracked?

07:08Is that how you...

07:09Well, we're not cracking.

07:10I mean, you hear popping.

07:11That's just air.

07:12Like when you crack your knuckles, that's just air.

07:14Which joint should be popped?

07:15Yeah.

07:16So we evaluate the spine through our hands or we can take an x-ray and then we start the

07:21process of improving the joint alignment through repetitive adjustments.

07:25Okay.

07:27At this moment, like if you scan us or probably see our shoulder, can you actually tell which problem is?

07:32Yeah, I can tell when I just look at people, you know, their head forward or, you know, of course,

07:38how you sit like that is going to lead to issues.

07:40Really?

07:41Okay.

07:41So I just have to sit like this.

07:43Yeah, I need to do some things that we do every day.

07:45I'm just a more comfortable sitting like this.

07:46We do them every day.

07:47And so again, over time, we start to change our posture.

07:52Okay.

07:53If I have a scoliosis, can I also go to a chiropractor?

07:55Yeah, of course.

07:56We take care of a lot of people with scoliosis.

07:58It's very effective.

07:59We cannot, you know, correct a scoliosis.

08:01There's no such thing as correcting your scoliosis.

08:04But we can certainly improve how one feels.

08:07We can possibly improve things if they come young enough.

08:10Okay.

08:11Because most Filipinos, ang talaging concern, lower back, it always has the same.

08:17Because most of us have sedentary lifestyle, always on our desk, and then eventually you'll feel pain in the lower

08:24back.

08:24So how frequent should I visit if ever experience some pain?

08:28So usually when somebody starts to see us, they're already, say, 30 or 35 or 40.

08:33So that's, you know, 35, that's 40 years of stress accumulation.

08:36So it might take a few sessions to get you better.

08:40And then after that, you should just do some type of a maintenance.

08:42For example, like once a month.

08:44Okay.

08:45You get an adjustment.

08:45It's like a tune-up.

08:46Think, again, like your body like a car, right?

08:49You only have one your entire life.

08:51So the better you take care of your body, the better you're going to feel as you age.

08:55If you don't take care of it, you're going to have a lot of problems by the time you're 50,

08:59right?

08:59And then you're not going to last long.

09:01There are all actually some misconceptions like this, that when people are trying to have some parts of their body

09:07being popped,

09:08they're afraid that they might experience some spinal or back problems.

09:12What are your thoughts on this, sir?

09:13Yeah, it doesn't cause injury if you go to a legitimate chiropractor.

09:17You think about it around the world, 100 million plus adjustments take place every day.

09:21It's very, very safe.

09:23But of course, if you go to somebody that is not a chiropractor, it could be dangerous.

09:27Like I think something happened last year, remember something bad in the news, something happened.

09:31And there are existing ones that are not safe.

09:34They're just claiming that they are a chiropractor.

09:37There's many here that say they're chiropractors that are not.

09:39I've tried that once.

09:40And then after what this part was so painful, I think I was with you during that time.

09:45Was it like, where is it?

09:46We should go to the Krobin.

09:48Yeah.

09:49Was it a home clinic or a home service thing?

09:51It's a home service thing.

09:52Well, that's the number one big red flag.

09:53If they're a home service, they're not a chiropractor.

09:56Okay.

09:56What are the other red flags that we should take into?

10:00Well, I mean, majority of us are foreigners because there's no schools here.

10:05Oh, okay.

10:06So.

10:07You have to study abroad if you want to go there.

10:09You have to study abroad.

10:10What specialization are you should be the doctors?

10:13Chiropractic school.

10:14Okay.

10:14It's four years and you have national board exams.

10:16So you go to college, you get a degree in biology, and then you go to chiropractic school,

10:20which is another four years.

10:22So we learn about the entire body, every single system, how it operates.

10:26And then again, like I said, how to adjust and then how the nerve impacts organs and muscles.

10:32So we're very specific with our adjustments.

10:34We're not just randomly cracking your back.

10:37Like you could go behind you and pick you up and crack your back.

10:40Yeah.

10:40That doesn't mean that's chiropractic.

10:42Okay.

10:42That doesn't mean that you're a chiropractor.

10:44So, you know, we get lumped in.

10:47You see somebody get injured in Malaysia and it was a masseuse that cracked someone's back.

10:51That's not a chiropractor.

10:53So that can kind of affect our name and what we do.

10:57Yeah, yeah, yeah.

10:57All right.

10:58So it's very safe.

10:59One last question, Dr. Rob.

11:00Any advice for our viewers before they go to a chiropractor?

11:06Yeah.

11:06And also general tips on how to probably protect our spine.

11:09So here in the Philippines, we must prove that we went to chiropractic school through PTAC, Philippines Institute of Traditional

11:17Health.

11:18And so I would suggest to go to the PTAC website and there you can find out if your chiropractor

11:22here in the Philippines is legitimate.

11:24Okay.

11:25So all of our chiropractors here because we have five branches are all legitimate chiropractors that are with PTAC.

11:31All right.

11:32Yeah.

11:33Well, thank you very much, Dr. Rob, for sharing your expertise here in Rise and Shine, Pilipinas.

11:39Yes, you're welcome.

11:40And sa ating mga ka-RSP, medyo sumasakit-sakit na mga likod din yung balikat, I think it's time for

11:46you to visit a chiropractor.

11:47But make sure legitimate chiropractor.

11:49Thank you, Dr. Rob.

11:50Thank you, Dom.

11:50You're welcome.
