<p>Practicing for almost 4 decades as a Chiropractic Orthopedist and author of 'Healing The Human Machine.’</p> <p>Dr. Hargis, a graduate from Palmer College, he wanted to specialize in Orthopedics because that was most germain to patient population he was seeing. </p> <p>Once making the decision into Orthopedics, he went through an 3 1/2 year orthopedic program at NY chiropractic college. </p> <p>Along the way, he started treating people with Scoliosis. During this time, he saw X-ray of patients, noticing leg length discrepancies. To his surprise, radiologists never commented on these. </p> <p>Dr Hargis shares his a rational perspective. X-rays are taken from a standing position. This should be an easy observation to see as a leg length discrepancy. Dr. Hargis explains. The spine made up of 24 moveable vertebra sitting on a pelvis. If one leg is shorter, you’re going to have a pelvic tilt. In Dr. Hargis, opinion the leg length discrepancy is never discussed. If a lift were put in the show, while tracking the scoliotic patient, </p> <p>“there would be no money to be made.”</p> <p>Dr Hargis, questions “why Scoliosis isn’t evaluated properly.”He breaks this down. </p> <p>Dr. Hargis dives deeper into the connection of body balance in his book, Healing the Human Machine along with equipment he has designed to help patients. There is a way to balance & correct the body if you understand how to do it. </p> <p>He emphasize’s how important exercise is.</p> <p>“Balance them from the ground up.” Good spinal mobility is important. One way to get them is through spinal manipulation. </p> <p>“Doing the right therapy avoiding the wrong procedures.”</p> <p><br></p> <p>Where can you find Dr. Hargis:</p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/DrCalHargis">https://www.facebook.com/DrCalHargis</a></p> <p><a href="Dr Hargis " target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"> https://www.youtube.com/@healingthehumanmachine8014</a></p> <p>www:https://healingthehumanmachine.com</p> <p><br></p> <p>LEAVE A REVIEW: if you enjoy this episode, we’d to hear what was your take away.
