Speaker 1 (00:55):
Here's Bev Johnson.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
And welcome back on this Wednesday, June fourth, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Enjoyed this fabulous day to day.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
I told you we're asking the experts today back in
the house our Cairo practor from James Cairo Practic, our
Cairo practor my pyt. Dr Bobby Myers, Good afternoon, doctor.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Bobby, Good afternoon, Good afternoon, Bille. How you doing today.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
I'm doing fabulous, Doctor Bobby. How you doing?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Hey, I'm doing awesome. We're in the month of June
and this Man's Awareness Month, and we are just rocking
and rolling.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Over here all right as we get ready to start
Doctor Bobby and Doctor Bobby's James Chiro Practic. I know
you always have something up, brother. What's going on at
James Chiro Practic.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
You know what, We're really just doing what we normally do,
but we're also praising and we're also just taking care
of the men. This month of June, we've kind of
devoted it to a healthier you, but really just taking
care of the men just giving them tips. You know.
(02:12):
One of the things that I kind of learned about
myself was I was going through some very hard times
and I really didn't know who to go to to
talk to. And even though I have some very good
friends surrounded in my life, sometimes it seems like when
I really need to talk to them, they're busy with
their families or doing different things and they're just not around.
(02:33):
And so just being able to know where to get
good help and good information from, I think it's just
very very important. And I didn't really realize how that
stress was really weighing in on me. You know. I
was making a little conversation with my girlfriend the other
day and we were just talking about how you see
so many people when they blow up, and they may
(02:56):
do some things that are out of care to They
may say something things Let's say, you drop something on
your foot and you you know, when you say some
things or uh. And I think kind of what happens
in those moments is we've become very very irritated, very sensitive,
and very emotional and not even realizing that we're at
that point. Uh. And I think it's just very important
(03:19):
to be able to recognize when you're at that tipping point,
so you don't blow off the lids and say some
things that you totally regret from saying. So just teaching
men about, you know, taking care of themselves, how to
get help, you know, physically, emotionally, mentally, and just how
important those things really are. So what we're going to
(03:41):
be doing on not this Saturday, but next Saturday, which
is a Saturday before Father's Day, we're going to be
having like a little men's day at the office. What
we're going to be doing massages, We're going to be
doing some chararopractic care. We're going to be handing out
some little tips, you know, what to do if you're
in the age of forty, what kind of tests you
(04:02):
should go to get to do, what kind of tests
you should go you know, to be seen or evaluated for.
And we're gonna also have some food and some of
doors for all the me and so again, if you're
a lady and you're taking care of you know, your
husband or your father or just trying to teach your sons,
you know, how to become a better man and what
(04:23):
things that need to take care of. I think that
this will be a very good start to bring in
by the office. And so we'll be open this next Saturday,
in the following Saturday, and so again we're just so
happy to be doing it this month. I will have
to say this right here, Bell, since we you know,
since we started, I will probably say I was seeing
(04:43):
about eighty five percent women inside the office. And I
will say that since I started realizing that not many
men understand how to take care of themselves. Uh, maybe
they wasn't taught, maybe they didn't see those things, or
maybe they didn't think that those things were important, we've
(05:05):
seen a significant increase. I would say the office right
now is pretty much about fifty to fifty. You have
more men that are bringing their sons into the office,
some to get stretched, some just to teach them how
to sit up straight, how important their posture is. You know,
how to eat better, how to make better choices, because
(05:28):
you got to understand something. If we don't teach these
young men, you know, how to be young men, it's
going to be very difficult for them to be providers
not only for themselves but also for families. So again,
just trying to teach them how to be a better
role model and to take care of their own health.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
You know what I noticed, doctor Bobby, And I'm glad
you said that, because every time I come into your office,
I see more and more young men coming into a kyropractor.
And I was thinking, back in the day, you wouldn't
have seen young men going to the chiropractical. You would
see old folks, as they would say, But I'm why,
why is that?
Speaker 3 (06:07):
What? What's going on with these young folks?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
You know, I think it's also the power of social media.
I think that younger the younger generation is seeing newer technologies.
Uh you know, I think that they're seeing younger and
younger people are getting sick. They're having different diseases from arthritis.
(06:34):
And I think it's just the power of education. I
think more parents are actually talking to their kids more
about health matters. Unfortunately, I think back in the day,
grandparents and parents didn't really talk to their kids about
the different health problems that they had and the genetics
that were there. And I think that they pretty much
didn't find out until much later on in life. And
(06:57):
when you find out later in life, you really don't
have much time to prevent it or to do some
different things. I know that prostate cancer runs into the family.
So I've started, even at a younger age, taking vitamins
and taking medicine and you know, taking different different, uh
precautious things to actually prevent those things from happening. And
(07:22):
I think that that's the beauty. When you know that
cancer runs in your family, or high blood pressure or
die be just running your family, you have a chance
to start earlier in life. Uh. And I appreciate and
I applaud to parents that are giving their kids a
head start in learning how to take care of themselves.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
The most of these young men that are coming in
to see you are are they athletes, doctor Bobby, or
they're just coming in just their their their dads are
bringing in just for preventive health.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
You know. I think it's a combination. I will say
that we do have more athletes, you know, I think
to get to that next level to play college ball.
I think a lot of them are seeing that to
get this now. Now you have so much more money
in sports, Okay, you have what you call nil money,
and nil money basically is money that players are getting
(08:21):
in college, high school and also you know after that,
uh and it's basically you're being the brand. And I
think when you become the brand of something, you've got
to be accountable for your actions, you know. So that
means that you've got to be a good role model.
You've got to be a good student. You can't be
in any trouble or they take away that money from you.
(08:42):
So now you have players that are doing that. They
know the importance and taking care of their body. They
have to be the best at the best, you know.
So a lot of these athletes are coming in to
stay uh, you know, healthy, stay injury free.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
At the same time, they also want their career to
be as long as possible. And when you want your
career to be as long as possible, you know, you
just have to make sure that you are mindful of
what you intake and what you put inside your body.
And I think those things are very very important.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
One of the things that also and not only would
young men or people who come in men and women,
and we're talking about you talked about I love this doctor,
Bobby Kyle brac practic care and one of the things
that you try to help people. And I know that
to know that your spine is important because it affects
a lot of things.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
It does, it does, it does so right now, and
I really love where I'm at right now. I'm at
a point now that I never saw myself as being
a teacher. Honestly, teaching was not the direction that I
saw myself ever going. I really take so much pride
(09:58):
and so much joy and doing it. So we're a
part of the employee program right now. So for many
of you, all this becoming.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Good good, I didn't know that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yeah. So we we have eight interns right now. We
had five today and we have a couple this afternoon.
And I'm gonna tell you from high school through college,
and I'm gonna tell you they're so amazing. You can
tell the ones that this is their first job, and
you can tell the ones that has been working, you know,
(10:31):
for two or three years, and it's amazing how that
one year of experience, that one year of maybe going
from high school to college and being on your own,
that one year of maturity, it just makes so much
of a big difference. But when we talk about the spine,
(10:51):
we understand that when we get very nervous, our heart gets,
you know, starts being real fast. When we get real nervous,
we have to use the rest room. You know, when
you get real nervous, you just find like your eyes
start to like buck out of your head. And so
I was kind of making a little joke about, you know,
when you're very scared, what happens, And everybody understood that
(11:13):
that's your nervous system at work. And so if you
can imagine when you're out of alignment and there's some
pressure that's putting on that nerve, that those different organs
do not function properly. And so I was just making
a little statement and saying, if your heart didn't function properly,
(11:34):
how would you feel, you know, if your bladder wasn't
functioning properly, how do you feel? You know? This weekend,
I've had three people that called me and they have
went almost two to two and a half weeks without
having a bowel movement.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
WHOA, that's not good.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
That's not good at all. That's not good at all.
I mean I know that, and again that individual knows
that it's not good, but at the same time, because
they've been doing it for so long, they've almost accepted
that it's being normal. And so I had to immediately
tell them that that's not good. And so one of
(12:16):
them had to get admitted into the hospital. The other
two said that they're going to take something to do that.
And so what happens to a lot of people is
when their bodies are out of whack. Sometimes we minimize
the situation and we let it occur to get a
lot bigger and it becomes a bigger problem. And so
(12:37):
what we try to do is try to help prevent
those things from happening. Keeping your lower back, keeping your
spine aligne so we can have all of your organs
functioning properly as well as they can be, so we
don't have to take a lot of medicine, We don't
have to do a lot of things to be on
a long term care Wait.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
A minute, doctor Barbers, with your spine not being right
or something's wrong that can of effect you have a
bowel movement?
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Yes, yes, because because your stomach is an organ. Your
stomach is an organ, Okay, in the lower part of
your back, in the in the lower lumbard area. For
many individuals out there that have had problems in your
L three, L four, or L five. The reason why
they're so important is because those are the organs that
(13:29):
that that they actually affect so if you've ever failed
or been in a car accident. I know when we
were younger, we used to play a little game where
when you get ready to sit down in a seat,
they'll pull the seat out and you fall and you
hit that tailbone. They sound it funny at the time,
but if you hit that area in the tailbone, that's
one of the most tender areas in your body and
(13:52):
it takes the longest to heal. So that has a
lot to do with you know, your bladder problems, minstrul
little young kids, wedding in the bed, minth carriages, irregular periods,
painful periods, all of those frequent urination, back aches, poor circulation,
(14:12):
the legs, all of those come from that lower lumbar area.
And when you get adjusted in that area and move
the spine where it needs to be and take that
pressure off that nerve, you will see a lot of
those problems will immediately decrease.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Wow, I have never heard that before.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
So we even have a pregnancy table, So we do
have individuals and come in here when they're pregnant, where
when they lay on the table, we have an opening
in the table where their stomach can kind of sit,
so we can actually adjust and again adjust those hips,
which actually helps the mother go through their whole pregnancy.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Wow. Wow when that.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
So, you know, another analogy is when you think about
a toothache, you think about that nerve and that toothache,
and everyone knows when it's your satic nerve, whether it's
a toothing, no matter what it is. When that nerve
gets irritated, it sends you off the wall and you
(15:23):
have to take something to actually calm that nerve down.
So when you have a toothache and it gets so bad,
you're taking whatever type of pain medication you can to
calm that tooth down. When you got a siadic pain,
I don't care what you're trying to do. You're trying
to get comfortable. You're trying to calm that nerve down.
So when these nerves get affected, you have to calm
(15:47):
those nerves down. So again when the patients come in,
one of the first things we try to do is
reduce the inflammation and take that soreness, take that pain
out of that area, which will allow me to actually
do the adjustments to rotate the mind off that nerve.
But as long as that nerve is very sensitive, you
(16:07):
can barely touch that area. You know, that nerve in
that area is just very sensitive. So again, the whole
purpose of what we're really trying to do is to
get that area to calm itself down.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
One of my listeners just email me doctor Bobby and says,
tell doctor Bob, ask. Doctor Bobby said, people don't know
that your let's say, your spine, your spinal cord is.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
A part of the nervous system. Is that right?
Speaker 2 (16:35):
That is correct?
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (16:38):
That is correct. That's correct. That's correct. You know. You
know I was saying this just a little bit ago.
We were just kind of, you know, just talking about
men's health, and I started talking about this. But when
I was at the gym, I was feeling very depressed.
And when I say depressed, I'm not saying isn't happy
(17:00):
or anything. When I say god pressed, I mean that
my mind was just constantly going. I felt like I
had so many problems that I needed to solve and
I couldn't solve them. It's like, I try to solve
one problem, another problem, rise try to solve another problem
of the prom arise and I just couldn't catch a break.
(17:22):
And so when I couldn't catch a break that in
my mind just kept going and I couldn't sleep. I
remember going to the doctor and I got a physical,
and I left the physical and I was, you know,
feeling like I did a good job. I said, oh, yeah,
I got a good physical. But what I did not
know was this, if you do not go to the
(17:43):
doctor and specifically tell them what to look for, they're
only going to run the most basic tests. They didn't
even run the test and I really needed. Once I
realized that there was some tests that I really needed,
that doctor random my problem immediately went away, probably within
(18:04):
one week or two weeks. And if it wasn't for
some other guys in the gym to try to tell
me about some of those tests, I would have never known.
And so as I talked to my patients that come
in my office and I talked to my friends, I'm
going to say ninety eight ninety nine percent of them
(18:24):
of those men, never knew anything about it. Now, the
flip side is when I talked to women and they
go to the doctor, they thought they were getting a
full physical as well. They did not know that they
had to ask those specific questions too. And if they
didn't know, so I guess what I'm really trying to
(18:46):
say is there are certain tests, there are certain checkups
that we as men should get if we're in our
twenties or thirties, if we're in our forties to fifties,
or even in our sixties, but you would not. And
I don't know if it's an insurance thing. I don't
know if it's same. Again, I'm not really sure what
(19:08):
the reasoning is, but they will not do those tests
unless you specifically ask for those questions or specifically asked
for those tests. So as we go through this, I
want to make sure that as the men come into
the office, or if you're married, or if you've got
a boyfriend, because I'll be honest with you, I don't
(19:29):
know a lot about the female test that they get,
and a lot of women don't know about the test
that men should get. So if they don't know about
the test that men should get, then they don't even
know how to help their husband or to help their sons.
So again, I think some of this information is just
very good for all of us to make us more
knowledgeable and make us more aware of some different tests
(19:51):
that we need to talk to our doctors about to
make sure that we get the mean in our life
some better attention.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
All right, if you've just tuned in this afternoon, we
are talking with our chiropractor, doctor Bobby Myers is here

Hall of Famer Bev Johnson on dou w.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
D i A.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
Hey you did a thing.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
I'm telling you.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Everyone seem talking. Everyone.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Welcome back to w d i A.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
We are talking with our Cairo practor doctor Bobby Myers.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Doctor Bobby. I'm going to our phone lines to talk
with IRMA.
Speaker 5 (21:53):
Hi, IRMA, Hello Bob, Hello Bill and doctor Bobby.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Hi.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
How are you?
Speaker 2 (22:01):
I'm good?
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Your question?
Speaker 2 (22:02):
That's bunny, Yes, that's it. Shouldn't everyone have at least
one down movement every day?
Speaker 3 (22:09):
At least one? Okay? Is that your question?
Speaker 6 (22:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:14):
We'll get that in all right, thank you, Okay, be listening.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Hi, Beverly, Hey Bell, how you doing doing wonderful today?
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Beverly? How about you?
Speaker 5 (22:26):
I'm doing fine? And Dr Bobbie. I was listening to
Doctor Barbie talk about the different tests that uh you know,
that are needed periodically, and I have a fly. I
was just looking at it though, but it doesn't really
say I was going to tell him. I was gonna
(22:46):
bring him by his office. He might find it helpful.
But it doesn't have some of the stuff that I
thought it might have had. But anyway, it was from SIGNA.
It was a handout that I had gotten that a
health fare and I had Signal represented and they gave
a handout about preventing health care. And it talks about
the different preventive tests that people should have as far
(23:12):
as like imminizations and different type of screenings and blood
tests and things of that sort. But some of the
stuff I need to go through. But anyway, I was
gonna tell him if his office is open, the one
in Cordova, I was going to be out that way
this afternoon and I could drop it by there and
he can take a look at it and see if
(23:32):
it may be helpful, you know, when he's you know,
talking to some of his patients about different tests and screenings.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
Yeah, that would be good. Yeah, he's opened this evening. Yes,
he's opened today.
Speaker 5 (23:45):
Yeah, Okay, I'll.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Let him answer, but I know for a fact he's
opened this evening.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
Okay, all righty. I just wanted to let him know.
I thought that was good for him to bring that
up because a lot of people they don't know what
tests they should be having at different points in their lives,
especially adults. Now children, it's a little different because you're
taking your little babies and little children protect us on
a regular basis, and the doctor will all tell you
(24:15):
when they come back and what tests they need. But
as we become adults, you know, we don't really keep
up with what we need like they don't. A lot
of people don't know you need to have a tennis
shot every ten years.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
You know.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
It's things like that. You know they're pushing, you know,
the COVID vaccines and rs B vaccines and all of that,
but you know, a lot of us don't know some
of the routine stuff like tetanus vaccines, you know, protect
you against cuts and scrapes and stuff you know that
you might get, you know, through our life. But anyway,
I'm gonna get off the phone, but I'm gonna come
(24:50):
by and drop this paper off for him this afternoon,
and maybe I can say hello to him and Corey.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Yeah, yeah, Cory, I love Corey. Corey is a man
co man.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Hey.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
You know, I refer caller to doctor Bobby because he
did a massage for me over at the Concord and
I'll tell you he reminded me of doctor Bobby, so
I refer him to Dr Bobby. So I'm gonna have
to say hello to him, but I'll see you this afternoon,
Doctor Bobby, You're welcome.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Bye bye bye bye.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
W D I a hi caller. Hey, you know I'm
doing well, common man?
Speaker 3 (25:27):
How are you.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Doing?
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Fan doing?
Speaker 5 (25:30):
Fan?
Speaker 6 (25:31):
I got a question maybe two.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
For the doctor on the other end.
Speaker 6 (25:36):
Uh, what's nae GMB.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Doctor Bobby Myers.
Speaker 6 (25:40):
Doctor Bob Myers? Yeah, okay, yeah, So doctor Myers and
Bell were just saying, we know that the span of
court is part of it for the nervous system. So
in a case, for instance, a person becomes paralyzed, hey,
after an accident or maybe shooting or whatever it may be.
Their paralyzed from the waist down what they usually be
(26:03):
from some type of damage done to the spinal cord.
The second question is if the newer transmitters are trying
to send messages to that part of the body, how
did they reflect the transmitters with the messages, you know,
what would happen with the messages trying to go to
that part of about this paralyze. Now, if you get
(26:24):
outside those questions, so.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Those questions, bet thank you, common man, I appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Doctor Bobby. I hope you got the question from common man.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
I did. I did. Thank you so much again and
coming man, I really do appreciate it. That's that's very good.
So we're gonna just use a water hose theory, and
the water hole theory basically is, if you've got a
water hose that's that's straight all the way out, and
you turn the water holes on very high, that water
(26:52):
just flows all the way out. Okay, But if you
step on that water hose or you bend that water hose,
it slows down there of water or it may even
stop that water. So if we understand that, it's almost
how the nerves are going from the brain and it's
sending the messages all the way to the body. As
(27:13):
long as there's no impingement, as long as everything is
properly aligned, you'll see that there'll be no problems with
getting those nerves sensations going all the way to those organs.
But when the body is out of alignment, or that
nerve is being pinched on, or there's pressure or disk
(27:36):
it's putting pressure on that, it couts those nerves not
to function properly, and that properly may be a decrease
or a delay in sensation, may be a decrease in
the amount of nerve flow that goes there, and that
can cause a whole lot of different problems. And so
when there has been a gunshot or trauma, or a
(27:57):
car accident or slipper or fall, playing football, playing basketball,
doing some type of sport, it could be from the
way that you're sitting, wearing the heels a lot any
type of trauma to the spine. Over a period of time,
it starts to put pressure on that. And we all
know that if you keep pressure on something long enough,
(28:18):
it can become more of a temporary move in to
something permanent and that's the reason why we try to
hurry up and get that pressure off that nerve so
we can save it. So you think about when someone
has neuropathy, that's a nerve problem. You see that that
problem happens for over a period of time. It stays,
(28:39):
it stays and stays. You start seeing the color change
in a person's leg, it changes, it changes. Sometimes it
becomes septic, sometimes it becomes gangering, and sometimes they have
to do the inevitable, which is actually amputation. And so
when I think about those things all the time, and
(28:59):
again I raised my hand when I say this. I've
been in situations even with my own body, where I
saw something happening to my body, but I minimized it
and I said, Oh, it's gonna be okay. Oh it's
gonna be okay. In two or three days ended up
turning into four days, and I ended up going into
(29:20):
the hospital and I ended up having to stay for
a whole week. And the doctor told me that it
became septic because I didn't do anything about it at
a quicker time. And I'll be honest with you, I
really felt kind of filing because I knew it. I
knew it, I knew it. I knew it. My body
gave me all the signs for it, but I minimized it.
(29:41):
And so again I'm so blessed that I was able
to catch that problem when I did, and they was
able to find the right antibiotics to help me to
get back. But a lot of times we kind of
missed that window and we let things linger on too much.
And so again with learning how to better take care
of ourselves when these things happening. That's my whole objective
(30:05):
is to try to catch things at our earlier standpoint
that we don't let it get to that point. So
coming in, that's a very good question, and you're right.
The spinal cord is connected. It controls everything our bladder.
That's the reason why sometimes people start losing their bladder.
They can't contract it because it's not actually functioning. The
(30:25):
brain's not able to send those sensations all the way
down there. That's why they say as we get older,
sometimes people have left filters. They say a whole lot
of things that are on their minds. They can't control
it because again, the whole brain and the nervous system
how everything flows. So remember the nervous system controls every
(30:46):
single organ in the body. Whether we feel it or
we don't feel it, it's all within our nervous system.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
Wow, and Arama wanted to know, doctor Bobby, shouldn't you
have a bowel movement at least on today?
Speaker 2 (31:02):
You should? You should? You should? And so one of
the things that we talk about, even in my ofusice
is how important it is to detox. And I think
what people are starting to learn and understand is the
quality of food that we have now is just not
the same as it was forty fifty years ago. And
because we're taking in, you know, so much, you know,
(31:26):
different different chemicals in different forms, whether it's in our
water drinks, whether it's in our food, whatever it is
that we're ingesting from medicine we're taking in. We need
to be able to get those foods out. So think
about it. If you're not able to, you know, get
those foods out and it's constantly staining your body, all
(31:47):
this is doing is becoming compounded, compounded, compounded, compounded, and
eventually it's going to lead to what we call this ease.
You know. So anybody that's out there that's having some problems,
you know, not going to the bathroom, A strongly, strongly
suggest for you to see your PCP, try to go
(32:07):
and see a gastro doctor to try to see what
the problem is, what the cause is, because that's not
a very good sign.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
All right.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
And doctor Bobby had this email from Patricia. She says,
Doctor Bobby, why are we hearing so much now about sciatica?
We never heard about it back in the day. What's
going on? That's thank you, that's a good qume.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
Think like all of a sudden people, I met siatica.
I got siatica. I got what is going on with that?
Speaker 4 (32:40):
You know?
Speaker 2 (32:41):
I think the evolution of us really is just changing
right before our eyes, you know. But you know when
I say that, I mean that I think our diets
have changed. You know. You think about, you know, being
able to go from you know, going out to eat
with such a pleasure and a tree from a Friday
night till now the expectations of going out to eat
(33:03):
is practically every day breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You know.
I even laugh at my staff as they come in,
a lot of them are younger workers, and everybody orders
fast food and bring them back, you know. And I
remember just bringing my lunch each and every day, you know,
and it's just it's just times are so different. And
I think to evolve to about the sciatica, I just
(33:25):
think that we were more active, you know, everybody was
more outside, we walked more. But now you got kids
at fifteen years old, everybody got cars. You know, there's
more jobs on computers. Now there's more jobs sitting down.
I just think that the lifestyle was just more sedentary
in that aspect. And so when you have, you know,
(33:46):
at younger ages, sitting down more, you know, it just
tightens up those muscles, excuse me, which actually leads to
more the Saturday problem. So one of the things that
I stress stress not only the a pores of water, uh,
but again just taking frequent breaks, you know, going you know,
from sitting down to standing up, you know, and alternating
(34:09):
back and forth, and also doing some stretches in the
morning time or throughout the day.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
And so again that's why I like having you know,
some different stretch classes. And I have a decompression machine
which actually decompresses takes pressure off of those disks in
that lumbard area. So if anybody out there that's had
they seen their heights start to change and they getting
you know, they find themselves, you know, their height getting
you know, smaller, they're getting shorter. Excuse me, uh if
(34:38):
they start to see that uh, the lower part of
the back are having that saddic pain.
Speaker 5 (34:43):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
I got the perfect machine for you, and that's our
decompression machine. So again it's the best, one of the
best things, you know for individuals that have that sadic problem. Uh.
And then we do an adjustment to just make sure
that that problem stays where it needs to be.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
Sounds good good.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
And again as we get ready kind of to wrap up,
Doctor Bobby again, I always like for our folks to
know any specials going on at James Chylepractice.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
You know, the special we have right now is for
any of the young men, any of the men that
are out there that just want to bring, you know,
their fathers or another male you know, into the office.
We have a special which is fifty dollars special for
the first visit. And we also have massage specials for
the men which is thirty five dollars for a thirty
(35:35):
minute massage. We do have a female massage therapist that
will also be here on the last Saturday of this month,
and you know, and again Bell just to kind of
tell you just some little stats. You know, suicide right now,
it's a leading cause of death among men in the
(35:56):
United States. They say that men are four times more
likely to die by suicide. Only twenty five percent of
men who experience depression actually seek help. And so with
back pain being one of the most common reasons why
me and miswork. And again I say this for a
lot of different reasons because when you're a father and
(36:19):
you take on a role in responsibility, and this goes
to a lot of women as well, who takes on responsibility,
you sometimes do not let your kids see the emotional
side or hurt that you feel. You know, I know
I've been in relationships where even though I was hurting,
I didn't want the young lady to know that I
(36:42):
was hurting. And so a lot of times when things
are off kilter, the man becomes where he works two
jobs to try to keep his family intact in different things.
So they put a lot of pressure on themselves. That
why I strongly encourage not always the physical aspect, but
(37:05):
also the mental aspect as well. And so I feel
that if more women can understand a little bit more
about some of the different stresses that a man goes through,
and they can also offer some assistance. I know sometimes
when you are trying to help someone, you tend to
(37:25):
be very combative between the two, but it's good to
have another person as a buffer, whether that buffer is
myself and my office or finding a counselor of someone
that can also help them along the way. And so
I'm just so happy to be able to direct people
and encourage them and let them know that there's nothing
(37:47):
wrong with taking care of yourself. There's nothing wrong with
going to counseling. I strongly believe in self care. I
love self care. As a matter of fact, two or
three of my patients that have been with me for
over ten years has came to see me in these
past couple of weeks and they said, man, I'm so
happy to see you smiling and seeing you happy, because
(38:10):
they said that I worked so much and I worked
so hard that they saw it running me down and
they didn't want to see me that way. But I
feel like when you're passionate about something and you're just
a strong giver, I think that that just happens. And
if I tell you this, a little funny little story
before I go. I love my dad to death. My
(38:33):
dad rocks like my dad rocks rocks, rocks, I mean,
I love him to death. And so my dad has
been the caregiver team care of my mom and he's
done an excellent job. He's showing me how a real
man takes care of this woman. And so it was
kind of interesting about it. Is my dad goes to
church about four nights a week. He's a vacation Bible school.
(38:55):
He's the deacon. He's sinking in the choir, I mean,
you name it. He he cuts the church grass, blah
blah blah. My dad just has a real strong heart
for helping people, and I think that's kind of where
I kind of got my passion for him as well.
So I told my dad, I said, Dan, you know what,
you know, I'm gonna start, you know, getting someone to
take care of your yard for you. Hey Dad, you
(39:17):
know what, I'm gonna get somebody to take care of
your car for you. Hey Dad, I'm gonna find somebody
to you know, cook, you know, for once a month
for you, you know, trying to do anything that I
can do to take some of the pressure off my dad.
Because he's coming home very tired from taking care of
my mother. So one day I got somebody to cut,
(39:41):
you know, to cut my dad's yard for him, and
then come to find out, my dad goes out and
he cuts two or three stick and shut in people's yards,
you know. And I just started laughing at it, because
sometimes when we do things for other people, we're doing
it to try to take a load off of them,
(40:02):
but in turn, what it really does is allow that
person to go out and cut somebody else's yard for them,
you know. And I just thought that that was just
a funny because, you know, as much as I try
to take or people trying to take the load, you know,
off of me, so I can focus on, you know,
(40:25):
my balance and focus on my self care, when I
do get that little time and I'm not used to
actually sitting still, I find myself giving and doing more
for others. So for all the fathers that are out there,
you know, trying to balance out life and trying to
balance out, you know, just doing things for their families,
(40:46):
I just want to encourage them to take some time
to take care of themselves. So again, we will not
be open this Saturday, but we'll be open the next
three Saturdays actually, and like I said, again, we do
have a female massage therapists as well as Corey, So
I'm actually very kind of happy to have that because
to have that mix into the office, I just think
(41:09):
there's something just very very good to have and we're
just always trying to add on, you know, to our office.
So again, just so so happy for this month of June.
Make sure you follow us on James Charropractic. That's on
our Instagram as well as our Facebook, and we're going
to have all kind of tips for men, the essential
(41:29):
health screens for men by the age, So if you're
in your twenties and thirties or in your forties and
fifties or either sixties and beyond, we have some very
very good things for you and some also some stress
relief tips. So Bell, we're just excited to do that.
Speaker 3 (41:45):
Give the number doctor Bobby, and you have two locations.
Speaker 2 (41:50):
The number is seventy five to two eight eight eight three,
seventy five to two eight eight eight three, and again
that's at the Cordova location and that's also at the
white Haven location. Uh So again we're at the Cordova
location today. Uh and again feel free to just give
us a call and also come and support and just
(42:13):
encourage and inspire some of these young interns that we
have here at at our office. So we're just so
happy to have them. You know what, Bell, you know,
I think, you know, we all started talking about this
through the whole I think it was char Morin thing,
and everybody was talking about the dad, and everybody was
talking about, you know, all the different things going on,
(42:35):
and you know, and my question that my dad always
says is this. You know, people are always very quick
to talk and give their opinions, but when it comes
down to doing the work, it gets very quiet. And
so one of the things that I wanted to do
was I wanted to make sure that I took some
time out to try to teach them as much as
(42:58):
I could. And because my job requires so much effort
and work, I wanted to kind of bring them up
under my wing and I try to just teach them
whatever we can. So I'm so happy that all of
my patients that have came in have been very encouraging
and talking to them about school and trying to find
(43:19):
their passion encourage them. So for everybody out there, I
want to say thank you so much again. This is
a village and I promise you I'm getting calls every
week of someone wanting me to talk to their son,
or talk to their nephew, or talk to someone that
they know. And I'll be honest with you, I don't
(43:39):
have any room for anyone else but my heart. But
my heart is so big that I just can't say
no to them. And I'm one of those people that
if you put in the effort and you want to
do something, then I will definitely do my best with
trying to make that work. I don't do it when
(44:00):
I have people that don't really want to be here.
I'm really quick to say, you know where a sweetheart,
it is really in for you.
Speaker 1 (44:07):
You need to find you.
Speaker 2 (44:08):
Another path for you. So again I just say to
all the listeners out there, thank you all for just
supporting me. And again, let's just make this month a
very healthy month.
Speaker 4 (44:18):
All right, Doctor Bobby, very good, very good information today.

You're listening to Tennessee Radio Hall of Famer Bev Johnson.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
On w d i A.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
You're listening to the Bev Johnson Show.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Here's Bev Johnson.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
And welcome back on this Wednesday, June fourth, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Enjoyed this fabulous day to day.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
I told you we're asking the experts today back in
the house our Cairo practor from James Cairo Practic, our
Cairo practor my pyt. Dr Bobby Myers, Good afternoon, doctor.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Bobby, Good afternoon, Good afternoon, Bille. How you doing today.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
I'm doing fabulous, Doctor Bobby. How you doing?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Hey, I'm doing awesome. We're in the month of June
and this Man's Awareness Month, and we are just rocking
and rolling.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Over here all right as we get ready to start
Doctor Bobby and Doctor Bobby's James Chiro Practic. I know
you always have something up, brother. What's going on at
James Chiro Practic.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
You know what, We're really just doing what we normally do,
but we're also praising and we're also just taking care
of the men. This month of June, we've kind of
devoted it to a healthier you, but really just taking
care of the men just giving them tips. You know.
(02:12):
One of the things that I kind of learned about
myself was I was going through some very hard times
and I really didn't know who to go to to
talk to. And even though I have some very good
friends surrounded in my life, sometimes it seems like when
I really need to talk to them, they're busy with
their families or doing different things and they're just not around.
(02:33):
And so just being able to know where to get
good help and good information from, I think it's just
very very important. And I didn't really realize how that
stress was really weighing in on me. You know. I
was making a little conversation with my girlfriend the other
day and we were just talking about how you see
so many people when they blow up, and they may
(02:56):
do some things that are out of care to They
may say something things Let's say, you drop something on
your foot and you you know, when you say some
things or uh. And I think kind of what happens
in those moments is we've become very very irritated, very sensitive,
and very emotional and not even realizing that we're at
that point. Uh. And I think it's just very important
(03:19):
to be able to recognize when you're at that tipping point,
so you don't blow off the lids and say some
things that you totally regret from saying. So just teaching
men about, you know, taking care of themselves, how to
get help, you know, physically, emotionally, mentally, and just how
important those things really are. So what we're going to
(03:41):
be doing on not this Saturday, but next Saturday, which
is a Saturday before Father's Day, we're going to be
having like a little men's day at the office. What
we're going to be doing massages, We're going to be
doing some chararopractic care. We're going to be handing out
some little tips, you know, what to do if you're
in the age of forty, what kind of tests you
(04:02):
should go to get to do, what kind of tests
you should go you know, to be seen or evaluated for.
And we're gonna also have some food and some of
doors for all the me and so again, if you're
a lady and you're taking care of you know, your
husband or your father or just trying to teach your sons,
you know, how to become a better man and what
(04:23):
things that need to take care of. I think that
this will be a very good start to bring in
by the office. And so we'll be open this next Saturday,
in the following Saturday, and so again we're just so
happy to be doing it this month. I will have
to say this right here, Bell, since we you know,
since we started, I will probably say I was seeing
(04:43):
about eighty five percent women inside the office. And I
will say that since I started realizing that not many
men understand how to take care of themselves. Uh, maybe
they wasn't taught, maybe they didn't see those things, or
maybe they didn't think that those things were important, we've
(05:05):
seen a significant increase. I would say the office right
now is pretty much about fifty to fifty. You have
more men that are bringing their sons into the office,
some to get stretched, some just to teach them how
to sit up straight, how important their posture is. You know,
how to eat better, how to make better choices, because
(05:28):
you got to understand something. If we don't teach these
young men, you know, how to be young men, it's
going to be very difficult for them to be providers
not only for themselves but also for families. So again,
just trying to teach them how to be a better
role model and to take care of their own health.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
You know what I noticed, doctor Bobby, And I'm glad
you said that, because every time I come into your office,
I see more and more young men coming into a kyropractor.
And I was thinking, back in the day, you wouldn't
have seen young men going to the chiropractical. You would
see old folks, as they would say, But I'm why,
why is that?
Speaker 3 (06:07):
What? What's going on with these young folks?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
You know, I think it's also the power of social media.
I think that younger the younger generation is seeing newer technologies.
Uh you know, I think that they're seeing younger and
younger people are getting sick. They're having different diseases from arthritis.
(06:34):
And I think it's just the power of education. I
think more parents are actually talking to their kids more
about health matters. Unfortunately, I think back in the day,
grandparents and parents didn't really talk to their kids about
the different health problems that they had and the genetics
that were there. And I think that they pretty much
didn't find out until much later on in life. And
(06:57):
when you find out later in life, you really don't
have much time to prevent it or to do some
different things. I know that prostate cancer runs into the family.
So I've started, even at a younger age, taking vitamins
and taking medicine and you know, taking different different, uh
precautious things to actually prevent those things from happening. And
(07:22):
I think that that's the beauty. When you know that
cancer runs in your family, or high blood pressure or
die be just running your family, you have a chance
to start earlier in life. Uh. And I appreciate and
I applaud to parents that are giving their kids a
head start in learning how to take care of themselves.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
The most of these young men that are coming in
to see you are are they athletes, doctor Bobby, or
they're just coming in just their their their dads are
bringing in just for preventive health.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
You know. I think it's a combination. I will say
that we do have more athletes, you know, I think
to get to that next level to play college ball.
I think a lot of them are seeing that to
get this now. Now you have so much more money
in sports, Okay, you have what you call nil money,
and nil money basically is money that players are getting
(08:21):
in college, high school and also you know after that,
uh and it's basically you're being the brand. And I
think when you become the brand of something, you've got
to be accountable for your actions, you know. So that
means that you've got to be a good role model.
You've got to be a good student. You can't be
in any trouble or they take away that money from you.
(08:42):
So now you have players that are doing that. They
know the importance and taking care of their body. They
have to be the best at the best, you know.
So a lot of these athletes are coming in to
stay uh, you know, healthy, stay injury free.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
At the same time, they also want their career to
be as long as possible. And when you want your
career to be as long as possible, you know, you
just have to make sure that you are mindful of
what you intake and what you put inside your body.
And I think those things are very very important.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
One of the things that also and not only would
young men or people who come in men and women,
and we're talking about you talked about I love this doctor,
Bobby Kyle brac practic care and one of the things
that you try to help people. And I know that
to know that your spine is important because it affects
a lot of things.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
It does, it does, it does so right now, and
I really love where I'm at right now. I'm at
a point now that I never saw myself as being
a teacher. Honestly, teaching was not the direction that I
saw myself ever going. I really take so much pride
(09:58):
and so much joy and doing it. So we're a
part of the employee program right now. So for many
of you, all this becoming.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Good good, I didn't know that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yeah. So we we have eight interns right now. We
had five today and we have a couple this afternoon.
And I'm gonna tell you from high school through college,
and I'm gonna tell you they're so amazing. You can
tell the ones that this is their first job, and
you can tell the ones that has been working, you know,
(10:31):
for two or three years, and it's amazing how that
one year of experience, that one year of maybe going
from high school to college and being on your own,
that one year of maturity, it just makes so much
of a big difference. But when we talk about the spine,
(10:51):
we understand that when we get very nervous, our heart gets,
you know, starts being real fast. When we get real nervous,
we have to use the rest room. You know, when
you get real nervous, you just find like your eyes
start to like buck out of your head. And so
I was kind of making a little joke about, you know,
when you're very scared, what happens, And everybody understood that
(11:13):
that's your nervous system at work. And so if you
can imagine when you're out of alignment and there's some
pressure that's putting on that nerve, that those different organs
do not function properly. And so I was just making
a little statement and saying, if your heart didn't function properly,
(11:34):
how would you feel, you know, if your bladder wasn't
functioning properly, how do you feel? You know? This weekend,
I've had three people that called me and they have
went almost two to two and a half weeks without
having a bowel movement.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
WHOA, that's not good.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
That's not good at all. That's not good at all.
I mean I know that, and again that individual knows
that it's not good, but at the same time, because
they've been doing it for so long, they've almost accepted
that it's being normal. And so I had to immediately
tell them that that's not good. And so one of
(12:16):
them had to get admitted into the hospital. The other
two said that they're going to take something to do that.
And so what happens to a lot of people is
when their bodies are out of whack. Sometimes we minimize
the situation and we let it occur to get a
lot bigger and it becomes a bigger problem. And so
(12:37):
what we try to do is try to help prevent
those things from happening. Keeping your lower back, keeping your
spine aligne so we can have all of your organs
functioning properly as well as they can be, so we
don't have to take a lot of medicine, We don't
have to do a lot of things to be on
a long term care Wait.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
A minute, doctor Barbers, with your spine not being right
or something's wrong that can of effect you have a
bowel movement?
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Yes, yes, because because your stomach is an organ. Your
stomach is an organ, Okay, in the lower part of
your back, in the in the lower lumbard area. For
many individuals out there that have had problems in your
L three, L four, or L five. The reason why
they're so important is because those are the organs that
(13:29):
that that they actually affect so if you've ever failed
or been in a car accident. I know when we
were younger, we used to play a little game where
when you get ready to sit down in a seat,
they'll pull the seat out and you fall and you
hit that tailbone. They sound it funny at the time,
but if you hit that area in the tailbone, that's
one of the most tender areas in your body and
(13:52):
it takes the longest to heal. So that has a
lot to do with you know, your bladder problems, minstrul
little young kids, wedding in the bed, minth carriages, irregular periods,
painful periods, all of those frequent urination, back aches, poor circulation,
(14:12):
the legs, all of those come from that lower lumbar area.
And when you get adjusted in that area and move
the spine where it needs to be and take that
pressure off that nerve, you will see a lot of
those problems will immediately decrease.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Wow, I have never heard that before.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
So we even have a pregnancy table, So we do
have individuals and come in here when they're pregnant, where
when they lay on the table, we have an opening
in the table where their stomach can kind of sit,
so we can actually adjust and again adjust those hips,
which actually helps the mother go through their whole pregnancy.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Wow. Wow when that.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
So, you know, another analogy is when you think about
a toothache, you think about that nerve and that toothache,
and everyone knows when it's your satic nerve, whether it's
a toothing, no matter what it is. When that nerve
gets irritated, it sends you off the wall and you
(15:23):
have to take something to actually calm that nerve down.
So when you have a toothache and it gets so bad,
you're taking whatever type of pain medication you can to
calm that tooth down. When you got a siadic pain,
I don't care what you're trying to do. You're trying
to get comfortable. You're trying to calm that nerve down.
So when these nerves get affected, you have to calm
(15:47):
those nerves down. So again when the patients come in,
one of the first things we try to do is
reduce the inflammation and take that soreness, take that pain
out of that area, which will allow me to actually
do the adjustments to rotate the mind off that nerve.
But as long as that nerve is very sensitive, you
(16:07):
can barely touch that area. You know, that nerve in
that area is just very sensitive. So again, the whole
purpose of what we're really trying to do is to
get that area to calm itself down.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
One of my listeners just email me doctor Bobby and says,
tell doctor Bob, ask. Doctor Bobby said, people don't know
that your let's say, your spine, your spinal cord is.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
A part of the nervous system. Is that right?
Speaker 2 (16:35):
That is correct?
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (16:38):
That is correct. That's correct. That's correct. You know. You
know I was saying this just a little bit ago.
We were just kind of, you know, just talking about
men's health, and I started talking about this. But when
I was at the gym, I was feeling very depressed.
And when I say depressed, I'm not saying isn't happy
(17:00):
or anything. When I say god pressed, I mean that
my mind was just constantly going. I felt like I
had so many problems that I needed to solve and
I couldn't solve them. It's like, I try to solve
one problem, another problem, rise try to solve another problem
of the prom arise and I just couldn't catch a break.
(17:22):
And so when I couldn't catch a break that in
my mind just kept going and I couldn't sleep. I
remember going to the doctor and I got a physical,
and I left the physical and I was, you know,
feeling like I did a good job. I said, oh, yeah,
I got a good physical. But what I did not
know was this, if you do not go to the
(17:43):
doctor and specifically tell them what to look for, they're
only going to run the most basic tests. They didn't
even run the test and I really needed. Once I
realized that there was some tests that I really needed,
that doctor random my problem immediately went away, probably within
(18:04):
one week or two weeks. And if it wasn't for
some other guys in the gym to try to tell
me about some of those tests, I would have never known.
And so as I talked to my patients that come
in my office and I talked to my friends, I'm
going to say ninety eight ninety nine percent of them
(18:24):
of those men, never knew anything about it. Now, the
flip side is when I talked to women and they
go to the doctor, they thought they were getting a
full physical as well. They did not know that they
had to ask those specific questions too. And if they
didn't know, so I guess what I'm really trying to
(18:46):
say is there are certain tests, there are certain checkups
that we as men should get if we're in our
twenties or thirties, if we're in our forties to fifties,
or even in our sixties, but you would not. And
I don't know if it's an insurance thing. I don't
know if it's same. Again, I'm not really sure what
(19:08):
the reasoning is, but they will not do those tests
unless you specifically ask for those questions or specifically asked
for those tests. So as we go through this, I
want to make sure that as the men come into
the office, or if you're married, or if you've got
a boyfriend, because I'll be honest with you, I don't
(19:29):
know a lot about the female test that they get,
and a lot of women don't know about the test
that men should get. So if they don't know about
the test that men should get, then they don't even
know how to help their husband or to help their sons.
So again, I think some of this information is just
very good for all of us to make us more
knowledgeable and make us more aware of some different tests
(19:51):
that we need to talk to our doctors about to
make sure that we get the mean in our life
some better attention.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
All right, if you've just tuned in this afternoon, we
are talking with our chiropractor, doctor Bobby Myers is here
if you have a question or two for him. Nine
zero one five three five nine three four two eight
hundred five zero three nine three four two eight three
three five three five nine three four two, or email
(20:20):
me your question at Bev Johnson at iHeartMedia dot com.
Bev Johnson at iHeartMedia dot com. You're listening to double
you d i A The BEV JNS Show.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Got something to say? Say it next with Tennessee Radio
Hall of Famer Bev Johnson on dou w.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
D i A.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
Hey you did a thing.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
I'm telling you.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Everyone seem talking. Everyone.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Welcome back to w d i A.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
We are talking with our Cairo practor doctor Bobby Myers.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Doctor Bobby. I'm going to our phone lines to talk
with IRMA.
Speaker 5 (21:53):
Hi, IRMA, Hello Bob, Hello Bill and doctor Bobby.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Hi.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
How are you?
Speaker 2 (22:01):
I'm good?
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Your question?
Speaker 2 (22:02):
That's bunny, Yes, that's it. Shouldn't everyone have at least
one down movement every day?
Speaker 3 (22:09):
At least one? Okay? Is that your question?
Speaker 6 (22:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:14):
We'll get that in all right, thank you, Okay, be listening.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Hi, Beverly, Hey Bell, how you doing doing wonderful today?
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Beverly? How about you?
Speaker 5 (22:26):
I'm doing fine? And Dr Bobbie. I was listening to
Doctor Barbie talk about the different tests that uh you know,
that are needed periodically, and I have a fly. I
was just looking at it though, but it doesn't really
say I was going to tell him. I was gonna
(22:46):
bring him by his office. He might find it helpful.
But it doesn't have some of the stuff that I
thought it might have had. But anyway, it was from SIGNA.
It was a handout that I had gotten that a
health fare and I had Signal represented and they gave
a handout about preventing health care. And it talks about
the different preventive tests that people should have as far
(23:12):
as like imminizations and different type of screenings and blood
tests and things of that sort. But some of the
stuff I need to go through. But anyway, I was
gonna tell him if his office is open, the one
in Cordova, I was going to be out that way
this afternoon and I could drop it by there and
he can take a look at it and see if
(23:32):
it may be helpful, you know, when he's you know,
talking to some of his patients about different tests and screenings.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
Yeah, that would be good. Yeah, he's opened this evening. Yes,
he's opened today.
Speaker 5 (23:45):
Yeah, Okay, I'll.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Let him answer, but I know for a fact he's
opened this evening.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
Okay, all righty. I just wanted to let him know.
I thought that was good for him to bring that
up because a lot of people they don't know what
tests they should be having at different points in their lives,
especially adults. Now children, it's a little different because you're
taking your little babies and little children protect us on
a regular basis, and the doctor will all tell you
(24:15):
when they come back and what tests they need. But
as we become adults, you know, we don't really keep
up with what we need like they don't. A lot
of people don't know you need to have a tennis
shot every ten years.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
You know.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
It's things like that. You know they're pushing, you know,
the COVID vaccines and rs B vaccines and all of that,
but you know, a lot of us don't know some
of the routine stuff like tetanus vaccines, you know, protect
you against cuts and scrapes and stuff you know that
you might get, you know, through our life. But anyway,
I'm gonna get off the phone, but I'm gonna come
(24:50):
by and drop this paper off for him this afternoon,
and maybe I can say hello to him and Corey.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Yeah, yeah, Cory, I love Corey. Corey is a man
co man.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Hey.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
You know, I refer caller to doctor Bobby because he
did a massage for me over at the Concord and
I'll tell you he reminded me of doctor Bobby, so
I refer him to Dr Bobby. So I'm gonna have
to say hello to him, but I'll see you this afternoon,
Doctor Bobby, You're welcome.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Bye bye bye bye.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
W D I a hi caller. Hey, you know I'm
doing well, common man?
Speaker 3 (25:27):
How are you.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Doing?
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Fan doing?
Speaker 5 (25:30):
Fan?
Speaker 6 (25:31):
I got a question maybe two.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
For the doctor on the other end.
Speaker 6 (25:36):
Uh, what's nae GMB.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Doctor Bobby Myers.
Speaker 6 (25:40):
Doctor Bob Myers? Yeah, okay, yeah, So doctor Myers and
Bell were just saying, we know that the span of
court is part of it for the nervous system. So
in a case, for instance, a person becomes paralyzed, hey,
after an accident or maybe shooting or whatever it may be.
Their paralyzed from the waist down what they usually be
(26:03):
from some type of damage done to the spinal cord.
The second question is if the newer transmitters are trying
to send messages to that part of the body, how
did they reflect the transmitters with the messages, you know,
what would happen with the messages trying to go to
that part of about this paralyze. Now, if you get
(26:24):
outside those questions, so.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Those questions, bet thank you, common man, I appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Doctor Bobby. I hope you got the question from common man.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
I did. I did. Thank you so much again and
coming man, I really do appreciate it. That's that's very good.
So we're gonna just use a water hose theory, and
the water hole theory basically is, if you've got a
water hose that's that's straight all the way out, and
you turn the water holes on very high, that water
(26:52):
just flows all the way out. Okay, But if you
step on that water hose or you bend that water hose,
it slows down there of water or it may even
stop that water. So if we understand that, it's almost
how the nerves are going from the brain and it's
sending the messages all the way to the body. As
(27:13):
long as there's no impingement, as long as everything is
properly aligned, you'll see that there'll be no problems with
getting those nerves sensations going all the way to those organs.
But when the body is out of alignment, or that
nerve is being pinched on, or there's pressure or disk
(27:36):
it's putting pressure on that, it couts those nerves not
to function properly, and that properly may be a decrease
or a delay in sensation, may be a decrease in
the amount of nerve flow that goes there, and that
can cause a whole lot of different problems. And so
when there has been a gunshot or trauma, or a
(27:57):
car accident or slipper or fall, playing football, playing basketball,
doing some type of sport, it could be from the
way that you're sitting, wearing the heels a lot any
type of trauma to the spine. Over a period of time,
it starts to put pressure on that. And we all
know that if you keep pressure on something long enough,
(28:18):
it can become more of a temporary move in to
something permanent and that's the reason why we try to
hurry up and get that pressure off that nerve so
we can save it. So you think about when someone
has neuropathy, that's a nerve problem. You see that that
problem happens for over a period of time. It stays,
(28:39):
it stays and stays. You start seeing the color change
in a person's leg, it changes, it changes. Sometimes it
becomes septic, sometimes it becomes gangering, and sometimes they have
to do the inevitable, which is actually amputation. And so
when I think about those things all the time, and
(28:59):
again I raised my hand when I say this. I've
been in situations even with my own body, where I
saw something happening to my body, but I minimized it
and I said, Oh, it's gonna be okay. Oh it's
gonna be okay. In two or three days ended up
turning into four days, and I ended up going into
(29:20):
the hospital and I ended up having to stay for
a whole week. And the doctor told me that it
became septic because I didn't do anything about it at
a quicker time. And I'll be honest with you, I
really felt kind of filing because I knew it. I
knew it, I knew it. I knew it. My body
gave me all the signs for it, but I minimized it.
(29:41):
And so again I'm so blessed that I was able
to catch that problem when I did, and they was
able to find the right antibiotics to help me to
get back. But a lot of times we kind of
missed that window and we let things linger on too much.
And so again with learning how to better take care
of ourselves when these things happening. That's my whole objective
(30:05):
is to try to catch things at our earlier standpoint
that we don't let it get to that point. So
coming in, that's a very good question, and you're right.
The spinal cord is connected. It controls everything our bladder.
That's the reason why sometimes people start losing their bladder.
They can't contract it because it's not actually functioning. The
(30:25):
brain's not able to send those sensations all the way
down there. That's why they say as we get older,
sometimes people have left filters. They say a whole lot
of things that are on their minds. They can't control
it because again, the whole brain and the nervous system
how everything flows. So remember the nervous system controls every
(30:46):
single organ in the body. Whether we feel it or
we don't feel it, it's all within our nervous system.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
Wow, and Arama wanted to know, doctor Bobby, shouldn't you
have a bowel movement at least on today?
Speaker 2 (31:02):
You should? You should? You should? And so one of
the things that we talk about, even in my ofusice
is how important it is to detox. And I think
what people are starting to learn and understand is the
quality of food that we have now is just not
the same as it was forty fifty years ago. And
because we're taking in, you know, so much, you know,
(31:26):
different different chemicals in different forms, whether it's in our
water drinks, whether it's in our food, whatever it is
that we're ingesting from medicine we're taking in. We need
to be able to get those foods out. So think
about it. If you're not able to, you know, get
those foods out and it's constantly staining your body, all
(31:47):
this is doing is becoming compounded, compounded, compounded, compounded, and
eventually it's going to lead to what we call this ease.
You know. So anybody that's out there that's having some problems,
you know, not going to the bathroom, A strongly, strongly
suggest for you to see your PCP, try to go
(32:07):
and see a gastro doctor to try to see what
the problem is, what the cause is, because that's not
a very good sign.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
All right.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
And doctor Bobby had this email from Patricia. She says,
Doctor Bobby, why are we hearing so much now about sciatica?
We never heard about it back in the day. What's
going on? That's thank you, that's a good qume.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
Think like all of a sudden people, I met siatica.
I got siatica. I got what is going on with that?
Speaker 4 (32:40):
You know?
Speaker 2 (32:41):
I think the evolution of us really is just changing
right before our eyes, you know. But you know when
I say that, I mean that I think our diets
have changed. You know. You think about, you know, being
able to go from you know, going out to eat
with such a pleasure and a tree from a Friday
night till now the expectations of going out to eat
(33:03):
is practically every day breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You know.
I even laugh at my staff as they come in,
a lot of them are younger workers, and everybody orders
fast food and bring them back, you know. And I
remember just bringing my lunch each and every day, you know,
and it's just it's just times are so different. And
I think to evolve to about the sciatica, I just
(33:25):
think that we were more active, you know, everybody was
more outside, we walked more. But now you got kids
at fifteen years old, everybody got cars. You know, there's
more jobs on computers. Now there's more jobs sitting down.
I just think that the lifestyle was just more sedentary
in that aspect. And so when you have, you know,
(33:46):
at younger ages, sitting down more, you know, it just
tightens up those muscles, excuse me, which actually leads to
more the Saturday problem. So one of the things that
I stress stress not only the a pores of water, uh,
but again just taking frequent breaks, you know, going you know,
from sitting down to standing up, you know, and alternating
(34:09):
back and forth, and also doing some stretches in the
morning time or throughout the day.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
And so again that's why I like having you know,
some different stretch classes. And I have a decompression machine
which actually decompresses takes pressure off of those disks in
that lumbard area. So if anybody out there that's had
they seen their heights start to change and they getting
you know, they find themselves, you know, their height getting
you know, smaller, they're getting shorter. Excuse me, uh if
(34:38):
they start to see that uh, the lower part of
the back are having that saddic pain.
Speaker 5 (34:43):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
I got the perfect machine for you, and that's our
decompression machine. So again it's the best, one of the
best things, you know for individuals that have that sadic problem. Uh.
And then we do an adjustment to just make sure
that that problem stays where it needs to be.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
Sounds good good.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
And again as we get ready kind of to wrap up,
Doctor Bobby again, I always like for our folks to
know any specials going on at James Chylepractice.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
You know, the special we have right now is for
any of the young men, any of the men that
are out there that just want to bring, you know,
their fathers or another male you know, into the office.
We have a special which is fifty dollars special for
the first visit. And we also have massage specials for
the men which is thirty five dollars for a thirty
(35:35):
minute massage. We do have a female massage therapist that
will also be here on the last Saturday of this month,
and you know, and again Bell just to kind of
tell you just some little stats. You know, suicide right now,
it's a leading cause of death among men in the
(35:56):
United States. They say that men are four times more
likely to die by suicide. Only twenty five percent of
men who experience depression actually seek help. And so with
back pain being one of the most common reasons why
me and miswork. And again I say this for a
lot of different reasons because when you're a father and
(36:19):
you take on a role in responsibility, and this goes
to a lot of women as well, who takes on responsibility,
you sometimes do not let your kids see the emotional
side or hurt that you feel. You know, I know
I've been in relationships where even though I was hurting,
I didn't want the young lady to know that I
(36:42):
was hurting. And so a lot of times when things
are off kilter, the man becomes where he works two
jobs to try to keep his family intact in different things.
So they put a lot of pressure on themselves. That
why I strongly encourage not always the physical aspect, but
(37:05):
also the mental aspect as well. And so I feel
that if more women can understand a little bit more
about some of the different stresses that a man goes through,
and they can also offer some assistance. I know sometimes
when you are trying to help someone, you tend to
(37:25):
be very combative between the two, but it's good to
have another person as a buffer, whether that buffer is
myself and my office or finding a counselor of someone
that can also help them along the way. And so
I'm just so happy to be able to direct people
and encourage them and let them know that there's nothing
(37:47):
wrong with taking care of yourself. There's nothing wrong with
going to counseling. I strongly believe in self care. I
love self care. As a matter of fact, two or
three of my patients that have been with me for
over ten years has came to see me in these
past couple of weeks and they said, man, I'm so
happy to see you smiling and seeing you happy, because
(38:10):
they said that I worked so much and I worked
so hard that they saw it running me down and
they didn't want to see me that way. But I
feel like when you're passionate about something and you're just
a strong giver, I think that that just happens. And
if I tell you this, a little funny little story
before I go. I love my dad to death. My
(38:33):
dad rocks like my dad rocks rocks, rocks, I mean,
I love him to death. And so my dad has
been the caregiver team care of my mom and he's
done an excellent job. He's showing me how a real
man takes care of this woman. And so it was
kind of interesting about it. Is my dad goes to
church about four nights a week. He's a vacation Bible school.
(38:55):
He's the deacon. He's sinking in the choir, I mean,
you name it. He he cuts the church grass, blah
blah blah. My dad just has a real strong heart
for helping people, and I think that's kind of where
I kind of got my passion for him as well.
So I told my dad, I said, Dan, you know what,
you know, I'm gonna start, you know, getting someone to
take care of your yard for you. Hey Dad, you
(39:17):
know what, I'm gonna get somebody to take care of
your car for you. Hey Dad, I'm gonna find somebody
to you know, cook, you know, for once a month
for you, you know, trying to do anything that I
can do to take some of the pressure off my dad.
Because he's coming home very tired from taking care of
my mother. So one day I got somebody to cut,
(39:41):
you know, to cut my dad's yard for him, and
then come to find out, my dad goes out and
he cuts two or three stick and shut in people's yards,
you know. And I just started laughing at it, because
sometimes when we do things for other people, we're doing
it to try to take a load off of them,
(40:02):
but in turn, what it really does is allow that
person to go out and cut somebody else's yard for them,
you know. And I just thought that that was just
a funny because, you know, as much as I try
to take or people trying to take the load, you know,
off of me, so I can focus on, you know,
(40:25):
my balance and focus on my self care, when I
do get that little time and I'm not used to
actually sitting still, I find myself giving and doing more
for others. So for all the fathers that are out there,
you know, trying to balance out life and trying to
balance out, you know, just doing things for their families,
(40:46):
I just want to encourage them to take some time
to take care of themselves. So again, we will not
be open this Saturday, but we'll be open the next
three Saturdays actually, and like I said, again, we do
have a female massage therapists as well as Corey, So
I'm actually very kind of happy to have that because
to have that mix into the office, I just think
(41:09):
there's something just very very good to have and we're
just always trying to add on, you know, to our office.
So again, just so so happy for this month of June.
Make sure you follow us on James Charropractic. That's on
our Instagram as well as our Facebook, and we're going
to have all kind of tips for men, the essential
(41:29):
health screens for men by the age, So if you're
in your twenties and thirties or in your forties and
fifties or either sixties and beyond, we have some very
very good things for you and some also some stress
relief tips. So Bell, we're just excited to do that.
Speaker 3 (41:45):
Give the number doctor Bobby, and you have two locations.
Speaker 2 (41:50):
The number is seventy five to two eight eight eight three,
seventy five to two eight eight eight three, and again
that's at the Cordova location and that's also at the
white Haven location. Uh So again we're at the Cordova
location today. Uh and again feel free to just give
us a call and also come and support and just
(42:13):
encourage and inspire some of these young interns that we
have here at at our office. So we're just so
happy to have them. You know what, Bell, you know,
I think, you know, we all started talking about this
through the whole I think it was char Morin thing,
and everybody was talking about the dad, and everybody was
talking about, you know, all the different things going on,
(42:35):
and you know, and my question that my dad always
says is this. You know, people are always very quick
to talk and give their opinions, but when it comes
down to doing the work, it gets very quiet. And
so one of the things that I wanted to do
was I wanted to make sure that I took some
time out to try to teach them as much as
(42:58):
I could. And because my job requires so much effort
and work, I wanted to kind of bring them up
under my wing and I try to just teach them
whatever we can. So I'm so happy that all of
my patients that have came in have been very encouraging
and talking to them about school and trying to find
(43:19):
their passion encourage them. So for everybody out there, I
want to say thank you so much again. This is
a village and I promise you I'm getting calls every
week of someone wanting me to talk to their son,
or talk to their nephew, or talk to someone that
they know. And I'll be honest with you, I don't
(43:39):
have any room for anyone else but my heart. But
my heart is so big that I just can't say
no to them. And I'm one of those people that
if you put in the effort and you want to
do something, then I will definitely do my best with
trying to make that work. I don't do it when
(44:00):
I have people that don't really want to be here.
I'm really quick to say, you know where a sweetheart,
it is really in for you.
Speaker 1 (44:07):
You need to find you.
Speaker 2 (44:08):
Another path for you. So again I just say to
all the listeners out there, thank you all for just
supporting me. And again, let's just make this month a
very healthy month.
