Episode Transcript

Dr Alec Spano, PT, DPT: 0:00

So, welcome to Hercules Performance Physical Therapy podcast. We have Dr Brittany Hughes here. She's a chiropractor. I'm going to let her just tell us a little bit about you, what I do. Go for it.

Dr Hughes, DC: 0:12

Yeah, so basically, like you said, I'm a chiropractor. I focus a lot on not only getting patients out of pain, but making sure that they know that pain isn't what I'm chasing. So just because you come in with a pain signal does not mean that that's exactly what I'm going to treat. I want you to be functioning overall at the highest amount, and I also want you to focus on having health, and health is very important. Just because you don't have pain doesn't mean that you're healthy. So we want to really focus on just getting you better not only feeling better, but functioning better.

Dr Alec Spano, PT, DPT: 0:40

by functioning better.

Dr Hughes, DC: 0:41

So where you don't have any appearances in the nervous system, where you're not having like GERD after you eat, where you're not having issues go into sleep, where you're not having all these different kinds of things that can happen when you have those interferences in the nervous system. So when we do the adjustments and we clear them, that's when you're functioning at the highest amount that you can be and that's whenever you're functioning at the optimal support.

Dr Alec Spano, PT, DPT: 1:05

Have you found patients say to you that they actually are sleeping a little better after some of these adjustments and manipulations ?

Dr Hughes, DC: 1:17

I'm not going to use names, but I had this two year old adjustments come in and the mother was at her wits in. She had been to the pediatrician a million times. He's having extreme night terrors, like to the point to where he's waking up six to seven times a night, screaming bloody murder and crying, and so the parents aren't sleeping. His sister that's a baby, newborn isn't sleeping. He's not sleeping. The whole family's a mess. This has been going on for months and every single night he has night terrors. So she, finally the pediatrician was like I don't know what else to do, bring them to a chiropractor. So what I did is I did a full assessment on them. I made sure everything was good. I went all the way back to his birth, like I was asking the mother all these questions did you use four steps? Did you have a vaginal birth? Did you have a C section? You know, really going in depth. Well, once we were done with the history, basically the little boy was terrified of doctors because he's been in and out of doctors since he was born because of the night terrors you know the past six months. So I set him down on my table, I grabbed a pad, kind of like this, right here, and I gave him a pen. I said draw me something fun. So he's sitting on the table. I said mommy, come sit in front of him. So she sits in front of him and they're drawing. And I get behind him and I grab my little activator, which is a tool that I used to adjust babies for the most part, and I show it to him like look, you see this tool, isn't it cool? And then I was like mom, let me see your hand. So I grabbed mom's hand and I just did the hand and then I grabbed his hand. I did the same thing. So he was fine with it. Then we go and I start feeling the spine. He's sitting in front of me, I'm feeling, I'm feeling and his C one, which is the first vertebrae in the spine, was severely rotated. So all I did was I grabbed right there. He grabbed my hand because it was painful, because it's so badly rotated, and I was like it's okay, it's okay. So I grabbed it, put my hand there, adjusted it, and he turned around and looked at me. And he turned around and gave me a hug. This little baby that is terrified of doctors, like absolutely was screaming bloody murder in my waiting room, gave me a hug and then I went all the way down the spine, adjusted what needed to be adjusted and then I told him you know, come back in at the end of the week. I want to see how he responded. I know he's going to respond well, but I just want to hear it from you to make sure she comes back in. Three days later she gave me a hug. He hasn't had a night care since. He slept throughout the night and it was something that simple. You know, just a rotation of the Atlas and Getting that fixed makes a huge difference. So that it happens in babies, it happens in adults. So it's the same thing. We have the same amount of birth rate whether we're a newborn, whether we're 82 years old. So bone is there exactly.

Dr Alec Spano, PT, DPT: 3:41

Yeah, we don't grow bone as we age, I think that's a testament to looking outside what the traditional idea of medicine. Okay, I have night terrors. Right, I need to go see a doc. I need to go see all this and those are definitely part of the plan of care, right, but using these other sources that are researched

Dr Hughes, DC: 4:17

My biggest thing is the way I look at health care nowadays, which I learned this when I went to a seminar up in Colorado Not long ago we no longer have a health care system. We have a sick care system, absolutely. So you go to the hospital for something small like, let's say, high blood pressure. Guess what they put you on high blood pressure meds. Why do you have high blood pressure? They don't know. I'm just gonna put you on meds. Mm-hmm then, guess what? There's a side effect to that med. So now you're on another one, then you're on another one, then you're on another one and it's just a downhaul. You know, fall, yeah, and so we no longer have a health care system. Our health care system is our alternative medicine physical therapy, chiropractic massage therapy, acupuncture that's your health care. What do we do? We look at the root cause of what's going on. Why do you have high blood pressure? Oh, the segment that Intervation to your heart is out. Let me adjust that. Guess what. Your blood pressure goes down. It's, it's simple. I mean, it's science, it's there, is evidence-based. It's just a matter of getting that knowledge out there, to where people know that there's an alternative to medicine and the alternative is Health care, not sick care.

Dr Alec Spano, PT, DPT: 5:16

I mean, just when you even look at what some of the gyms are doing these days and like advocating for, this stuff exists. All all this exercise, that kind of stuff, the alternative medicine, like that is how we will Correct and create a health care system as you say right instead of a sick care, and there's a lot of dominoes need to fall first, but it's starting right. You can even notice in a small area like Vero Beach here that may be a little bit more traditional and what not. There are plenty of alternative providers that are adding some really cool stuff to the area. Yeah.

Dr Hughes, DC: 5:51

I mean, my favorite is the fact that when people come in and they're like I've tried everything and I'm like, good, I'm glad you, yeah, I'm glad you did, because now, guess what, I'm your last hope and I'm gonna get you better, and then you're gonna regret trying everything else, like that's just the main thing. And diet diet is huge, as you know. Like 90% of weight loss is diet. So people are eating like crap and they get high cholesterol and you're like they go take a medicine for it and I'm like that is defeating the whole purpose of this.

Dr Alec Spano, PT, DPT: 6:20

Not fixing the root cause at all. Exactly the root cause is what you really need to focus on, sure and often times, in a lot of cases, it takes longer than people want, right. But there are ways like what you do, some of the stuff that I do, where you can kind of break the cycle a little quicker and then that will allow you to do the big things you need like getting your nutrition right? Getting your sleeping right?

Dr Hughes, DC: 6:46

Yeah, it's a huge difference, and I mean something that small can make a huge change in your life, absolutely so I mean you we're not always chasing pain. It can be something that's not pain related. It can be, you know, like I said, neuropathy issues. It can be cholesterol, high blood pressure. That's not necessarily painful, sure. Does it make you an unhealthy person? Correct? Yeah, so we want you to function correctly, we want you to be an optimal health, and so just just because you're not in pain, does it mean you don't need to see a chiropractor? Like I have patients all the time. When they come in, I'm like how are you feeling? They're like, oh well, I wouldn't be here if I was doing better. And I'm like, well, no, that's not the case. Like chiropractic was originally made to be a Like alternative. It's supposed to be Preventative help. Yeah so we're supposed to prevent you from getting sick, prevent you from having these issues? Now it's kind of changed to being pain source. So you have pain, you go to a chiropractor. No, that shouldn't be that. It's like when you drive your car, right, so you get a brand new car, you drive it 6,000 miles, mm-hmm. You don't just keep driving it until it breaks and then take it to the mechanic. You go get an oil change and get your tires rotated. You do maintenance on your car to keep it from breaking. Why do we treat our car so well by our body, so bad, so we don't do these maintenance, these checkups on our body, when this is the only one you have? You can crash your car and go get another one. This is all that you have. You're gone, you're gone, and so why don't we do maintenance on our bodies? Instead, we do maintenance on our vehicles. We treasure those so much and then we only check on us whenever we're in pain, which pain is very subjective, obviously, and it's also very strange in the sense that it's the last thing that comes with an injury and the first thing that leaves. So, with that being said, a repetitive trauma, injury. So say, you work at a desk all day and you're constantly hunched over and you're using your mouse way out here and then you end up with shoulder pain and neck pain and back pain. That didn't come the first day you started your job. That came six years after, absolutely. So it's the last thing that comes with an injury, but it's also the first thing that leaves. So just because you're not in pain doesn't mean that you're better. You're still unstable because they you have pain. That's the first sign of instability. So, with that being said, just because the pain is gone doesn't mean you're stabilized. So once the pain is gone, you move on to the next step, which is stabilization, which is where physical therapy comes into play, where we work on your biomechanics. So, instead of sitting like this and working like this, you're sitting like this and working with your your wrist cocked up. So that makes a huge difference. So biomechanics, physical therapy, massage, acupuncture, chiropractic it's all hand-in-hand.

Dr Alec Spano, PT, DPT: 9:15

Absolutely, and it's a synergistic thing, right. There's certain things that you guys do. Right that you look at it from a slightly different angle, but I believe the way to really move the health care system forward is right. You need all these different angles that create this like big pie right and that creates the whole health care model in a sense?

Dr Hughes, DC: 9:32

Yeah, it sure does.

Dr Alec Spano, PT, DPT: 9:33

I wanted to kind of pick on where you use the phrase often lagging indicator for pain where it really is. It's like the check engine late but your oil light is already down or what not. You've already been driving 50,000 miles. You get people like I had someone the other day who walked in and like, oh, I changed my routine or life up about a year ago but now I'm having pain. Like that's not super un common, like it's hard to put two and two together. Yep, but big changes sometimes they take a while to basically happen into pain. Right, and however that movement dysfunction, the stuff that you were doing that may have caused it. It's been a long time ago, exactly, part of your daily, exactly right.

Dr Hughes, DC: 10:10

The biggest thing is I not only ask what were you doing when the injury started, it's what'd you do for the last 10 years? Absolutely and I mean movement is so important. You know from what you do every single day. So when I see an ex-athlete come into my office and they trained, you know they train their body to be able to play, let's just say, soccer. For 18, 19 years of their life. They go off to college and they have a sedentary lifestyle because they're not playing in college anymore. Then they come to me and they're like why am I in pain now that I'm not playing anymore because you're not moving? Yeah, like you're sitting at a desk all day studying, you're laying in a little bitty cot in your dorm like everything adds up. And when you train your body to have that Elasticity to play soccer your knees, your, your hips, everything and you stop, you're going to go backwards, absolutely. So you've got to keep moving. Movement is so important.

Dr Alec Spano, PT, DPT: 11:02

Isn't it funny that you see these injuries and they start occurring at a higher frequency. You, you think like 35 to 40, you start seeing people, yeah, things are breaking down, but when you look at it, they are way less active, you're not really doing that much other than maybe sitting in bad positions or whatever. So why is it that at 25, when you're running around slamming yourself in to stuff, right, you're fine, but later, yeah, there's an age thing, but could just be that you stop moving, right? Stop doing what your body was meant to do, it's huge.

Dr Hughes, DC: 11:33

I mean my first thing when I have like a 75 year old come into my office, he's like I can't play golf anymore. And I'm like, well, I'm gonna get you back to playing golf. Sure it's, I'm not that person. It's gonna say don't play golf anymore. I'm gonna say, take a step back for two weeks, let's get you better, and then let's ease back into it, because movement is important Absolutely. There's a reason why you know these athletes. They're able to keep doing what they're doing because they're moving. Yeah, like it's it, you go backwards when you stop.

Dr Alec Spano, PT, DPT: 11:58

So and that brings up a really good point in the sense of even if we have to remove ourselves from the sport for a little while, that does not mean hey, we're not doing anything right. And it could also be a maybe we're not using the driver right, something with a long axis, basically a lot of torque on the back. Maybe, hey, we're just putting for the next few weeks, but that's actually, you're out there moving. There's a pain relief effect just to exercise that like high you get in the middle of a workout.

Dr Hughes, DC: 12:25

That's your body's way of being pumping, that's your body's way of saying we like this keep doing Right. Yep, I mean, there's such thing as a good sore.

Dr Alec Spano, PT, DPT: 12:33

Yes, I mean after a good workout.

Dr Hughes, DC: 12:35

You want to be sore, mm-hmm, and that's a good sort. You feel great when you're. I mean it sucks going upstairs, but it's a great sore. You know what I mean.

Dr Alec Spano, PT, DPT: 12:43

I thought I was the only weirdo that like the soreness, that like little bit of quad soreness after a word. There's definitely the kind where you're like I can't stand up too much, but it's rare. Yeah, that good sore that's what you want.

Dr Hughes, DC: 12:56

Yes, absolutely I got them in the calves right now for the dubs exactly.

Dr Alec Spano, PT, DPT: 13:01

Brittany, give me a couple just like fun little tidbits. I'm gonna ask you some fun little tidbits about chiropractic. So one I often get is what happens with a pop or no crack that you may get yeah, so that popping, cracking sound.

Dr Hughes, DC: 13:14

You know I can take all these scientific words and put it into it, but I'm just gonna be simple. It's a gas release, okay, so Hear that? Yep, that's a release of gas. So what the adjustment does is it kind of opens up the synovial fluid and when it does that, if there's any gas in there, it releases. So a lot of times if you get an adjustment and you don't hear a pop doesn't mean it didn't move. It just means that you didn't have any gas filter. So the gas builds up. Whenever you have two segments that are kind of like this Okay, when one turns and it's stuck, gas forms in the synovial fluid. So when we adjust it back, that gas releases and it makes that pop, I mean, yeah, don't get me wrong, I love the sound of that. Like I may Definitely crack at it, but when it comes to making the sound versus getting the thing to move, I focus more on getting movement, mm-hmm, but I do love the sound.

Dr Alec Spano, PT, DPT: 14:01

Yeah, the sound is good, Like it just gives you that a little bit of feedback.

Dr Hughes, DC: 14:05

Oh, I got it. Yes, exactly, even though we know that's not necessarily what's going on.

Dr Alec Spano, PT, DPT: 14:09

It's just a good correlate.

Dr Hughes, DC: 14:10

I like it. It's one of those things, you know, you just get some thrill out of it yeah because the patients hear it, they feel better.

Dr Alec Spano, PT, DPT: 14:16

Yeah great audible response there's a phrase of my family always said growing up when we were playing sports look good, play good.

Dr Hughes, DC: 14:23

It's kind of sound good, play good, whatever it is like that.

Dr Alec Spano, PT, DPT: 14:26

So let's say you get that pop. You don't get the pop, you get just manipulated. What is kind of course for action after that? What would you say are best practices?

Dr Hughes, DC: 14:34

So I have three steps to recovery. First step is get you out of pain. So I don't chase pain, but if you're in pain I'm gonna try to decrease, sure. So let's get you out of pain. Second space is let's stabilize that instability that you got going on. The fact that there's pain there Means that you're unstable. You wouldn't have pain if you were completely stabilized. So the fact that you have pain means you're unstable. So second step is stabilize. Stabilize is where you come into play. That's where you do functional Strengthening, that's where you do biomechanic training. We give you small exercises to do at home. You know all these little things. And after stabilization is pretty much maintenance. You know, every once in a while get your car oil change, basically. And so that's kind of the three steps that I try to go through. My goal isn't to see patients every day for the rest of their life. Sure, there's some chiropractors that you walk into their office. The first thing they say is oh, you have pain. Yeah, that's gonna take me about three times a week for four weeks, seven times or two times a week for seven weeks and buck. And next thing, you know you're on a six month plan. Sure, if it takes you six months to get out of playing pain, get out of that office because you're not in the right one. Yeah, so Basically you just need to focus on those three steps and every patient's different Somebody that's active, like you. If you were in pain, it might take you two adjustments and you're better like you're out of pain, then we work on stabilizing you. But if it's somebody that is, you know, 75, they've reached all options they can. They're on pain medicine every single day. They come into my office. It's going to take them a couple of weeks, so you have to structure the three-phase plan to each patient so when every patient comes into your office they get the same plan. That's terrible chiropractic care, if you ask me, and all that is is money. All they're wanting is money out of your pocket. But my thing is is, if you focus on getting the patient better, getting them out of pain, stabilizing them, putting them on maintenance to come in every once in a while, they're going to tell other patients oh, absolutely. Your office is going to be booming and you're not going to be worried about. You know, do I have to pay the rent? Do I have to do this? You're going to be more focused on patients and when you start focusing on patients, you see a huge change in your office. Whenever you're giving out those stupid care plans that are six months long for every single patient, with the exact same weeks like spread out frequency, that's the wrong way to do it. I've seen many chiropractors do that and it just makes me want to shake my head very hard.

Dr Alec Spano, PT, DPT: 16:55

You know, I think the model has kind of changed over the years. Right, and there's more like hey, like you make someone feel better, you make them better, you make them move better, fix their problem.

Dr Hughes, DC: 17:04

They're going to come back to you later.

Dr Alec Spano, PT, DPT: 17:06

Exactly Because people are going to throw stuff out right Like it's part of life and if you do a good job and you can get them out and out of that pain quickly, like that's only a more testament to how good you are right, exactly. They'll come back. They want to work with you, that's my thing.

Dr Hughes, DC: 17:21

It's like I always tell patients when they first come in I'm like I'm not that chiropractor that wants to see you every day for the rest of your life. You may be fun, you may be cool, you may make me laugh, we may have a great time in my office, but I want to get you better. Sure, like that's the whole reason why you came to me. So why do I want to see you that many times when I know you don't need it? So that's my biggest thing. I even have friends that I have down in West Palm and anytime they hurt themselves they text me and I'm like, okay, let me look it up. And I'll look up chiropractors in the area and I'm like, okay, this one, no, this one, no, this one, no, this one maybe. And then I'll send them there. They go, they come back to me and they're like, okay, they want me to do this. And I'm like, no, that's not good, go to somebody else. Like it's just so hard to find a good chiropractor that wants to get you better and doesn't want to just drain your profits and that's where I structure my entire business model around is that I want to get you better. I don't look at the money side of anything like at all. Even at the beginning of practicing I tried to take myself out of it and just say, look, I don't even care how much it takes, I'm going to get you better. And you know, at the beginning yeah, it kind of sucked because I was really slow, but I got patients better. And then now it's picking up. Because why? Because I'm getting them better.

Dr Alec Spano, PT, DPT: 18:33

That's what people want.

Dr Hughes, DC: 18:34

That's why they're there exactly.

Dr Alec Spano, PT, DPT: 18:36

Sometimes you lose sight of that. I think you're told to go to the doctor, go do these things, and you have to versus. Like, when you go to buy something right, you buy the TV because you want to sit around and watch the game, right, when you go to these places because you want to get better and be able to play with the grandkids and go golf and all that kind of stuff.

Dr Hughes, DC: 18:51

So you got to keep that goal in mind in the day.

Dr Alec Spano, PT, DPT: 18:54

The goal is not to become a professional. Go to these offices right, exactly. Figure out what we need to take care of our body long term. Exactly, no, 100%. You have any other fun tidbits for us Brittney?

Dr Hughes, DC: 19:05

I mean, just stay active. You know how important that is, absolutely, and we work hand in hand with what we do. I mean there's many of things that I can't do inside my office that I have to send to you for, because that's what your specialty is and that's the thing is. Like you need to know your scope of practice. I know what I can and cannot do. Once I get somebody that stabilization process, I can give them a little bit here and there, but if they need more, they need to go get something from someone else. Like that's the thing is know your scope of practice.

Dr Alec Spano, PT, DPT: 19:34

And we work really well together right, yeah. Because there are people who really do. They need what you do and it's a great way to like hey, like she knows what she's doing, First of all, it's fine, there's a whole lot of stuff that run through there. And a lot of times you get adjusted and manipulated right. You feel better in general to nervous system reset, and more so than like a replaced, like a putting stuff back in place. Maybe do the simplest way and tell people that is an awesome time to now go. Hey, this thing was hurting for so long. Let's break that cycle.

Dr Hughes, DC: 20:03

And then go load it, because you're gonna feel a lot better and better.

Dr Alec Spano, PT, DPT: 20:06

Yet you're gonna move better, right ?

Dr Hughes, DC: 20:08

Now we can load in good positions.

Dr Alec Spano, PT, DPT: 20:09

Yeah, and we just we need that help to get there right, so that's where you come into play.

Dr Hughes, DC: 20:14

Like a little jump start to get you back up where you need to be. Yes, jump start.

Dr Alec Spano, PT, DPT: 20:17

I love that. Yeah, it all goes, it all plays together, Everything goes back to a car.

Dr Hughes, DC: 20:21

You know what I mean. You gotta jump start your car sometimes if that's your body needs it to.

Dr Alec Spano, PT, DPT: 20:25

I love that analogy. It's easy to comprehend.

Dr Hughes, DC: 20:27

It is, and that's the thing. You gotta be able to break it down to where other people can understand it, because I could come in here and talk all scientifically to you all day long and you would get it, but all these people watching you're gonna have a million comments like never allow her back again.

Dr Alec Spano, PT, DPT: 20:40

I think you even see that trend with chiropractic and physical therapy, where we have this really cool thing where we can operate just on the outskirts of like traditional medicine and we can focus on like, hey, we're gonna tell you what's going on. It doesn't have to be complicated, it really doesn't. Exactly, you just know when the complicated stuff sometimes just makes it a little harder. Yeah, no, it definitely does.

Dr Hughes, DC: 21:01

The more the patient understands about what's going on with their body, the more likely they are to feel better and stick to the plan, buy in Yep exactly so like, if you can break it down like I have a little model of a disc herniation. It's a perfect like two vertebrae's and a little sponge in between right, and I use that model so many times I'm pretty sure I gotta buy like six more.

Dr Alec Spano, PT, DPT: 21:21

Yep.

Dr Hughes, DC: 21:22

Because I'm running around to each room trying to find it whenever I have a patient come in that has a disc injury, because I want them to see what's going on. Like, if they know what's going on, they're more likely to get better Absolutely. And so there's been many a times, like I always use the analogy of I explain what I'm doing and why I'm doing it when I'm adjusting, because I hate going into a doctor's office and not knowing what they're doing and why they're doing it. Like, how many times have you gone to the doctor's office and they just start drawing blood? Why are you drawing blood? What are you looking for? Don't you need a reason to do what you're doing? Oh, it's just, we do it on every patient. Why? But what are you looking for? Sure, and the same thing is when you take your dog to the vet. You go in there and you'll walk out with a $700 bill and don't even know what happened. They gave your dog a treat. Next thing you know you're paying 800 bucks, like it's insane. So tell me what you're doing. Sure, tell me why you're doing it and tell me what you're looking for. So that's exactly what I do when a patient comes into my office. I walk them through the entire adjustment. I don't care if they've been to chiropractors every single day since they were born. I want you to know what I'm doing and why.

Dr Alec Spano, PT, DPT: 22:22

Absolutely.

Dr Hughes, DC: 22:22

So I walk them through it and then after that I'm like okay, you should feel better, and if you don't, let's bring you back in, let's get this assessed, let's figure out what's worked best for your body, because every spine is different. So the way you respond isn't how I respond, isn't how Joe down the street responds. So figure out how you respond and treat that way.

Dr Alec Spano, PT, DPT: 22:41

You got it. You got to see what's in front of you Exactly.

Dr Hughes, DC: 22:43

Make it as simple as possible and go for it, yeah.

Dr Alec Spano, PT, DPT: 22:46

Dr Alec Spano, PT, DPT: 23:00

Yes.

Dr Alec Spano, PT, DPT: 23:03

Yes, I'll be over there, hopefully in the next couple of days.

Dr Hughes, DC: 23:05

Yeah, we actually just moved yesterday so we're still trying to work out. The kinks ran into a little row, bumps here and there, but we're getting there.

Dr Alec Spano, PT, DPT: 23:11

You guys are seeing patients there correct?

Dr Hughes, DC: 23:13

Yes, yes, started yesterday, which was rough, but we did it. We made it through. I also learned that there's a long way around and then a short way, and I always ended up taking the long way. So I hit all my steps by then, which was good. But what the heck? But yeah, so I'm at Riverside Chiropractic. It's down the road, it's. You can reach out to me on Facebook, on Instagram, anything like that. Look up the office, call the office line. I'll be glad to talk to you.
