Female Speaker: Although, many people are unsure or even frightened of the idea of visiting a licensed chiropractor, the practice of chiropractic care can enhance people's lives. So hi, and welcome to watchmojo.com. I am here with Dr. Simon Tanguay, a licensed chiropractor. Thank you for joining us.
Dr. Simon Tanguay: You are welcome.
Female Speaker: So what exactly does a chiropractor do?
Dr. Simon Tanguay: We are addressing the wellbeing and the health of people.
Female Speaker: And what could someone expect visiting a chiropractor for the first time? How long does it last? Is it painful?
Dr. Simon Tanguay: It's not painful at all. How long does it last for the first time? It's usually between 30 minutes and an hour, because I need to know about the person, where they are in their life. And after the other session or usually 20 minutes, half-an-hour. Usually, people come to see me for physical pain. People get a lot of fears about it. So it's kind of so good that we cannot even think about painful.
Female Speaker: What kind of approach do you take towards treatments you do on your patients?
Dr. Simon Tanguay: There are many different ways, so that's a good question. As a chiropractor, I start with practicing the usual way, and refining my skills actually bring to me a new approach. So instead of using the normal adjustment like everybody are scared about, this approach is actually with light touch, so it's almost not more than the strength we could point of touch our finger to our eyes. And it brings actually a peace in the person's body. So it's a total different approach.
The basic principle behind it is that I want to address you by giving you the less as possible. Because I want your body doing the job itself, because if your body learned the strategy to heal itself or to get to that place of wellbeing itself, it will be able to do the same, while you will be in your other activity at home, at your work, you will not need like a guru or chiropractor or a healer somewhere, because you will be able to heal yourself by yourself.
People will experience either huge relief, slight relief; some people who are first in treatment or adjustment feel little. Majority of people who come to see me feel big difference when I am accessing different points or strategy in their body. What did you experience on the table?
Male Speaker: Well Simon, at first just general relaxation, I felt a sense of wellbeing, serenity and I feel - if there is a pain, I just feel relaxed and your body just surrenders and you feel more of the tingling sensations. And it's like a profound restful sleep, that's my best way of saying it.
Dr. Simon Tanguay: In 20 minutes?
Male Speaker: Yeah, more than I normally get in one night.
Dr. Simon Tanguay: Okay.
