Dr. Jorde---thanks for being with us------

We’ve had some great weather lately and I’ve already had a couple of
patients come in doing some spring cleanup around their gardens
and yards, but unfortunately we are probably still a little while yet
until that becomes the norm.
But on the plus side, we’re at least mostly out of the period of long
lasting ice on the ground and having to be careful about slips and
falls.
Since it’s not really the right time of year to talk about any specific
seasonal injuries, I thought I’d go into detail a little bit today on
something that makes us unique at Jorde Chiropractic Clinic.
Often on here I try and give general advice as well as encourage
people to go to chiropractors in general since I know with broadcasts,
the signal can certainly get far enough away that it reaches some
people who may be a little too far away to come see us.
However, at least on occasion it might be good for listeners to hear
how we do things at our own clinic. While I talked about the ARPwave
therapy not terribly long ago, it’s been a while since I last talked about
what really sets us apart; manual muscle testing.
Every muscle in the body is controlled by specific nerves.
Likewise, each of those nerves are formed by multiple nerve roots as
they exit the spine. Some nerves or even individual muscles
controlled by these nerves are very much controlled by one nerve
root substantially more than the others. Because of this fact,
physicians have long been able to identify if there is an issue with a
particular nerve root by testing individual muscles in ways that isolate
the individual muscle in question which itself also is controlled
primarily by a single nerve.
Note that I say physicians and not just chiropractors because
manual muscle testing hearkens back all the way to the days of
Hippocrates. He’s the ancient Greek physician for whom we get the
term Hippocratic Oath, by the way. Today, not as many physicians
make use of muscle testing due to the main drawback being that it’s a
bit tough and takes a lot of practice to get a good feel for muscle
testing
in the first place and these days there are quite a few tests that are
just a bit easier especially in regards to what most doctors needed
muscle testing for back in the day; determining if the issue was
stemming from a single nerve root or if it was from a named nerve.
Nowadays, the medical doctors who most use manual muscle testing
regularly are neurologists and orthopedic surgeons.

In chiropractic specifically, however, there are multiple benefits
to manual muscle testing. Not only does it tell if there is spinal nerve
impingement, but by moving the body at the affected spinal levels,
We’re able to determine what direction the impingement is coming
from and, by extension, the most appropriate way to correct it. We
can likewise tell if it’s perhaps not a chiropractic situation at all if
unable to find motion or direction that improves the strength and are
therefore able to refer accordingly.
What patients most seem to like though, is the fact that it clearly
demonstrates there is a problem and also that it got corrected once
the strength returns in the post check. It’s no longer some esoteric
thing
where the doctor says, “Ah, I see” and then “got it” after the
adjustment while the patient just has to trust the doctor knows what
they’re looking at and doing. Which is generally a safe bet anyway, of
course, but it’s still nice for the patients to know and not feel left out
of the loop.
So while I encourage anyone with aches or pains of the spine,
shoulders, knees, headaches, et. Cetara to seek out chiropractic care
in general, if wanting to see what this muscle testing is all about and
how we apply it to chiropractic at Jorde Chiropractic Clinic, you can
call us at 605-335-0880, visit online at jordechiropractic.com, or even
just walk in if nearby the Hyvee on Minnesota. 2821 S Center Ave

Just ahead a boost for the National Federation for the Blind-all on a
working on Wellness Wednesday----
9:43/30---KELO Commercials
9:45/00---Wellness Wednesday---
I’ve had a chance to meet this next guest---Richard Crawford---
National Federation for the Blind—and yes it fits as part of a working
on Wellness Wednesday----
The Washington Pavilion is thrilled to announce an exciting
collaboration with the National Federation of the Blind of South

Dakota, to bring a free transformative tactile exhibition entitled Seven
Art Movements, to our community [Dates March 1 through May 31].
This partnership marks a significant milestone in enhancing
accessibility, empowerment, and inclusivity.
Through the works of Leonardo da Vinci, Johannes Vermeer, and
Vincent van Gogh, Seven Art Movements delves into the history and
evolution of seven critical art movements across time: The
Renaissance, The Baroque, Neo-classicism, Impressionism, Post-
impressionism, Art Nouveau, and Expressionism. It seeks to explore
the distinct and unique periods concerning subject matter,
craftsmanship, and style - shown chronologically.
The National Federation of the Blind (NFB) is dedicated to breaking
down barriers for blind and low-vision individuals in a predominantly
sighted world. The organization proudly states that blindness is not
the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise
the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create
obstacles between blind people and our dreams.
This exhibition underscores the Washington
Pavilion's commitment to accessibility and community enrichment.
By hosting this traveling tactile exhibition, we are creating a more
inclusive environment for visitors, allowing them to explore, learn,
and engage with art in new and exciting ways.

Pavilion, please visit www.washingtonpavilion.org.
