Brief Summary & Bio:
ON today’s show we’re asking Dr Bob Newhaven to explain to us his experienceusing Telehealth in his Northwest Indiana wellness center called Motus Integrative Health.

Points of Discussion:
- How Dr. Bob is adapting to the challenges of the pandemic and social distancing laws
- TeleHealth is like FaceTime or video calls
- What types of treatments do they typically offer at Motus Integrative Health and what’s transferred over to Telehealth?
- “Why isn’t Massage Therapy considered ‘essential’?” Marisa asked
- What’s it like for patients using Telehealth for the first time?
- Businesses are allowed to use Zoom for the calls during the pandemic
- Telehealth is optional for most services
- Patient with Shoulder Impingement (shoulder pain)
- The muscles are pinched under the joint/shoulder
- Visual exam, range of motion, functional movements
- Dr. Bob suggests certain exercises and avoiding others, and teaches patient’s wife how to do some stretches and muscles work
- Patient experienced 90% pain relief by the end of the call
- What are symptoms of shoulder impingement?
- sharp pinpoint pains when raising arms over head (or out to the side for a jumping jack)
- pain occurs during just parts of the range of motion
- pushups
- Dr. Bob explains pushup modifications and progressions to avoid pain
- Telehealth is covered by insurance for the same services covered in the office
- In nearly every state you can walk into a chiropractor office without a referral (unless required by your insurance specifically)
- Mechanical Pain vs Chemical Pain
- Chemical Pain is treated well medically, it’s typically inflammatory based like Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Mechanical Pain is like a muscle knot pushing on a nerve
- Dr. Bob explains why many people don’t find relief from back pain with the use of opioids
- People who see chiropractor are 60% less likely to take opioids in their lifetime
- Common skepticism about chiropractic procedures is discussed
- “adjustments” are a tool that’s appropriate for certain cases
- “motion is lotion”, adjustments help loosen stiff joints
- exercises can be a tool for herniated discs
- How to find the right Chiropractor, what to look for when you’re searching?
- look for continuing education on your chiropractor’s website, knowing they’re going above and beyond the required education
- look for more certifications and credentials
- it’s a good sign when your chiropractor offers a wide range of services
- Dr. Bob shares a TeleHealth story about helping a young girl and her parents to make progress towards her ability to walk (she has a genetic syndrome)
