Oh my god. You know I am addicted to it.
You know, it's crazy because I typically try to go
on Sundays. Uh. And my family had came in town
and they were asking what is the best place to go,
uh to get some good soul food and get some
brunch right after church. And I said, I'll tell you what.
I got the perfect place, and uh took them down there.
(08:32):
And they are from Detroit, Chicago, other parts of the
PACIFICI and they've been content. What did name of that place?

Speaker 4 (08:47):
Oh my god? And you know what, And I'm gonna
tell you so many people that they kind of know
my mother, uh uh My mother has uh uh well
she had just lost her sister probably two days before that,
so it was just kind of in a little depressed state.
And when we got there, I had told the owner,
Ron Davis, and I had just mentioned him as my
(09:07):
mama's birthday and he put a special songs on the radio,
and they came out and they just sterenated her and
uh and again and just to see that look my
mama's face, and she even started crying. She was just,
you know, so so happy. So again, Uh, just had
such a wonderful time. And and again. I ended up
going right back on Tuesday. I took some of my
(09:29):
staff over there, and so now they're asking me when
can we go again? But I mean, yeah, I mean
we just had an awesome time, so real awesome time.
So I I got a second wonderful, wonderful choice, wonderful choice.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Yeah, and and and and doctor Bobby.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
There are some nice folks on that, you said, Davis,
who's who's the owner, and also your frat brother.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Yeah, a good Yes he is. He's a good guy.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Yes he is. Yes he is, Yes he is. And
you know, it's kind of funny, Bell, because I'm one
of those kind of people that when I find something
I like, I kind of stick to it.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
I think every time I've been there, I got the
same thing for the past couple of times. So everybody
keeps saying, hey, can you try something shuther No, no, no,
let me stick with this right here. Yes, but I
know next time I go, I am going to try
something different.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
All right, Well, doctor Bobby Meyers, what's going on over
there at James Kyro Practic.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
You know this week actually we've been partnering up with
the City of Memphis with employee. We have eight interns
between the Courtover office and Whitehaven office. I say kudos
to them tomorrow, excuse me, this week is their last week.
And I say kudos because we have high school students
(10:47):
as well as college students. And it's amazing that one
year of when the students go off to high school,
excuse me, leave high school to go to college, and
just how much they learn. You know, maybe mom has been,
you know, waking them up in the morning time, and
you know, when they're in high school to make sure
that they get up on time and get to school
on time. And you know, when you go to college,
(11:09):
of course, you know mom isn't there to wake them up.
You know, they have to learn those responsibilities. And it's
just so many different factors of just talking to them
that I've learned, different skills that are developed. I think
I had one employee that did not come into work
and they didn't call they didn't, you know, send a
(11:29):
text message, they didn't send an email, and they showed
up the very next day as if everything was okay,
you know, and so just having to sit down and
talk to them about the level of professionalism and you know, uh,
and just you know, different things from using the phones
and just having different type of distractions, just understanding that
you have people's lives, you know, right there in front
(11:50):
of you. And I think when I use some different examples,
and I was telling them, you know, how what they
feel if they were to go to someone brand new
and they were doing your hair for the first time,
and you know, and you hadn't the person that even
introduced themselves to you. You know, they didn't smile at you.
How comfortable would you feel with that young lady doing
(12:11):
your hair? And it's something about hair. Young teenagers understand that,
you know, oh no, doctor, I she couldn't do my hair.
She couldn't do my hair. And I said, okay, I said, well,
that's how people feel when you have their lives in
their hands, you know, you don't, you know, you gotta gotta,
you know, introduce yourself to them, you know, introduce yourself.
And so anyway It started off very slow, just with
(12:31):
some introductory things, trying to get them right, and uh,
it's really, you know, amazing in the six week time,
you know how much they've grown to learn more about
themselves and also to learn what feel they want to
go into. Many people you know, contacted, you know, the
city of Memphis and myself just trying to see if
you know, the medical profession is what they want to
(12:53):
go in. I always tell everybody, you want to be
passionate about anything you do, you know, I tell them
this is a this is a a career path that
I would do for free. And it's taught me so
many things along the way, not so much just in business,
but just personally about myself and how to treat people
and respect for people. And it's a beautiful thing for
(13:14):
me to be able to the same people that took
care of me, is beautiful for me to be able
to take care of them. So they are our young
you know, future generation. They are the ones that gonna
be taking care of us as we get older. So
we got to take the time just to treat them
right and also show them the right way. So I
think that was like very very beneficial for me. I've
(13:37):
always have done more with college students that was you know,
they graduated. Yeah, but you know, high school is kind
of a different breed. I will definitely tell you it's
a different breed. But I think if you can get
them more one on one or more isolated, they tend
to do a whole lot better. So just excited you
(13:58):
to be a part of that journey.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
And today before I get on the air, I went
and order some food for them and we just kind
of had like a little party here at the office
and uh, just you know, just trying to get them
some positive messages. Tell you something kind of interesting, Beth.
You know, I'm a big financial guy. So when it
was paid, time to come, you know, time to get
their paychecks. You know, the next question I was asking
(14:22):
them is, you know, what do you all want to
do with your money? You know? And so a lot
of them were you know, using it to try to
get you know, prepared for school the next summer. Uh,
some of them were paying their mothers and fathers back
for money that they had borrowed. But you know, it
was just interesting with some of them rising seniors getting
ready for their rings and you know, class pictures and
(14:44):
dues of sorts. So I was just very very happy that,
you know, that they got their heads on straight and
just trying to keep looking ahead and which in whatever
direction that they decided to go.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Yeah good, Yeah, well good.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I'm glad and thank you for for accepting some of
those young people from the city of Memphis who had
those jobs, because city of Memphis counts on a different
businesses to employ those young people.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
So he's off to.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
You doctor body, Hey, thank you, thank you, and you know,
and also bit of just you know, with that being said,
I think what is also very good is when people
start seeing, you know, young people start seeing other young
people taking care of their bodies, and starting at a
younger age, it starts to become a cool thing to
(15:36):
take care of your body. And so one of the
things that I've taken a lot of pride in is
making certain things cool to do. You know. I think
there was a time that going to the doctor there
was a stigma that was very negative. There was a
stigma they call it the white coat syndrome where when
(15:59):
you see some a doctor with a white coat on,
the blood pressure would go up or anxiety would come
from some trauma that may have happened in the past,
and so I don't wear my white, you know, coat
in the office except for when I'm going to speak.
But I try my best to keep it as comfortable
as possible. I try my best to try to help
(16:20):
them process and walk them through. I think the first
thing is being able to identify that there is a problem.
You know, a lot of people are in denial. They'll say,
I got it, it's under control. I got it, it's
under control. But in all that reality, the problem has
gotten bigger and bigger and bigger. We call that compounded,
you know. And so one of the things I teach
(16:41):
my students is sometimes we minimize things and what we
don't realize is they compound over a period of time.
And then you say, where did this come from? And
so we try to help them to identify the problem
and then try to work on different stages on how
we're going to attempt to solve the problem. And sometimes
(17:02):
what's solving problems, It's going to require some things that
we really don't want to do right, you know. And
I know with myself, you know, I found myself, you know,
going out socially that I had to slow down from
going out, you know so much, or either going to
or going to a different function and only staying for
(17:22):
thirty minutes to an hour, because if I stayed longer
than that, I would find myself, you know, staying out late.
I would sell myself eating you know, things that I
shouldn't be eating, or eating too late, going to sleep
on a fool stomach, or even having some drinks, you know,
anything as simple as that. And what that would do
is the very next day, it would caused me to
(17:43):
be you know, bloated. It would caused me to be sluggish,
and it caused me not willing to go to the
gym in the morning. U just a whole lot of
stiffness in my body. So you know, again there's some
things that are uncomfortable for us in the beginning. But
I promise you, you know, once you can get over
that point, you know, it gets a whole lot easier.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
So and I'm glad you've because I know how I
am with that.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
I don't like to go to the doctors, doctor Bobby,
but I go, I know, because I want to make
sure my health.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
But I don't like doctors. I don't like needles, like
any of that. But I go on. So you have
to get over your.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Fears, you really do. I think as we get older,
one of the biggest fears that I hear from people
is you don't want to lose your independency.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
You know, for anybody out there that has been in
a car accident and maybe you didn't have a car
to drive and you have to depend on your kids
or dependent on your husband or wife or a ride.
You know, to do that one or two times may
be okay, but to do that consistently is it can
be a little burden. You know, it can be a bore.
(18:54):
And so I think for most people, you want to
be able to have that access to to take care
of yourself, to take a shower when you want to
take a shower, to go where you want to go,
and just do the things you want to do, buy
what you want to buy, especially if you, you know,
live that type of life before. So I think that's
the thing that always I think about, is just trying
(19:17):
to stay as independent as possible. You know, reading, you know,
there's just so much, so many things out there that
people are getting a lot of older people or people
who do not read, and they're putting you know, different
type of verbiage in contracts, and unfortunately we're not actually
reading all those things thoroughly, and so they're taking advantage
(19:40):
of people. So again, you just want to just try
keep your mind as sharp as possible, or having someone
in your family that can read the information for you
and help you to process it, and so just taking
care of yourself. I'm just seeing a lot of stress
come through the office. So right now we're probably seeing
a lot of people that are traveling a lot more
and you know, a lot of people that are dehydrated. Again,
(20:03):
it's been extremely hot these pasts. You know, a couple
of weeks. You have a lot of the young athletes,
especially football players, uh people who are outside uh mlgn
W again you know, just outside in this type of heat.
So again we got to keep our bodies hydrated as
much as possible.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
And and one of the things I know, I don't
know if you've been seeing this a lot lately, people
who have been coming in doctor Bobby from automobile accidents.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
Oh yes, yes, yes, Oh my gosh, yes, you know.
I use this stat all the time, and the stat
basically talks about there are more car accidents and Shelby
County than there are in any of the other counties
all put together. So when you start seeing a lot
(20:58):
of those you know, commercials from all the different times, yeah, uh,
it's it is. And so with that being said, you know,
it makes you wonder, it makes you see that's the
reason why car insurance is so high and myth is
compared to other counties is because there's more car accidents
in the Shelby County area. And so what I really
(21:21):
try to stress to everyone is, you know, you need
to be not only an offensive driver, but a defensive
driver as well, you know, being aware of your surroundings.
Try your best. You know, I say that, you know,
not use your cell phone so you can actually be
as alert as possible. You know, keep your music down
to a nice level so you can hear different things,
(21:44):
you know, just just being alert. And so again, you know,
if you have, you know, been in that accident, just
knowing how to properly go about it. And I strongly
suggest you know, to go to a doctor or come
and see us and let us, you know, ef you
make sure that you're okay, because a lot of times
the adrenaline is flowing so fast that you just don't
(22:07):
feel everything right then. And unfortunately a lot of people
come because of accidents or slitcher falls or trauma that
they've had and they kind of blew it off in
the beginning and attended to bite them later on down
the road. Uh. And so again just trying to get
them to be more aware of their bodies, knowing what
kind of symptoms, what kind of things to look for.
(22:29):
And again we work with all the major insurances as
well as all the major attorneys as well.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Oh good, and and and and so with the accidents,
doctor Bobby, is it people what.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Do we call with your with your neck.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Whiplash?
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Yeah, the whiplash, the whiplash. I'm sure you probably seen,
uh and what is that? And and and probably people
with their.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Back, yes, yes, you know what. We're also getting a
lot of people that are also losing consciousness or where
they get a little day and they know it was
in an accident, but it's not totally sure how it happened,
when it happened. You know, we see a whole lot
of that, you know, from headaches, you know a lot
(23:14):
of just neck problems, lower back problems. But that whiplass
is something very very serious. And especially if that person
has had any type of you know, problems in their
neck before, they get a lot of cryps in their necks.
It's just very common, you know, and we call those
post traumatic headaches and post traumatic headaches just basically means
(23:36):
everyone's bodies stores stress in different areas. Some stored it,
you know, up in the upper part of their back
between the shoulder blade. Some you know, stored their stressed
between the lower part of their back and their sacred area,
and then some get it right behind the occiput area.
And that's why they have so many headaches.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Oh wow, So what can you do about that?
Speaker 4 (23:57):
So we have a system that we we have what
we use what you call electrical muscle stem just to
kind of relax those muscles. So you have two muscles.
You've got superficial muscles and you got deep muscles. So
the superficial muscles are muscles, but you just kind of
bump up into something in about two or three days
and goes away. Then you have more of those deeper muscles.
And that's kind of like the whiplash injury, you know,
(24:20):
where ligaments have been affected or the tendons have been overstretched,
you know, and those areas require more of a deeper
kind of therapy. So the best way they can't explain
this is, you know, I use the example of a
woman that's been pregnant. Okay, when the woman has been
pregnant and her stomach has been stretched for nine months,
those ligaments have been stretched. After she has that baby,
(24:43):
those ligaments are still very loose, Okay, So it takes
us to kind of you know, it takes time to
actually get those ligaments to go back to in this
normal place. Now, if they injured it again, or if
they have a baby number two again, those ligament stretch
again and it takes even longer to heal. So that's
(25:04):
the reason why when someone gets into an accident, you
want to try to get them the heal as fast
as possible, but you also want to try to prevent
them from doing anything else to overstretch that ligament because
that delays the healing process. So our ultrasound and laser
machine will actually tighten those ligaments up and that will
(25:25):
make that recovery time a lot faster. Now, if the
problem still keeps going on, then that's when I will
get them into the massage therapist to kind of work
on some different areas, do some what you call trigger
point therapy to try to release those trigger points. And
those trigger points again are just nothing but where the
stress stores that in the body. And then I do
(25:47):
the last part and I do my adjustment. And what
the adjustment does is just takes that bone and puts
the bone back in this proper alignment. So it takes
the pressure off of those nerves. Because see what people
don't understand is as long as there's pressure on that nerve,
no matter how much you try to take the medicine,
all that's going to do is just you know, dull
(26:09):
that pain or cause the inflammation to go down, but
the pressure is still on that nerve. So eventually it's
going to go right back, you know, feeling that pain
because it never got fully fixed. So again, we do
those different therapies first just to kind of relax that
area for me to come in do the fighter touch,
which is that adjustment, and that would definitely help the
(26:31):
particular problem.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Why is it, doctor Bobby, and I've been wondering this
for a couple of weeks, or that your nerves have
a lot of douke to do with what's going on
in your body.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
The nerves are something else.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
They really are. So you know when they say you're
getting on my nerves, yeah, you know what.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
You know what I used to say.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
You know, I got this from my mother, and we
always say I'm resting my nerves and people ask me,
I really have to rest my nerves now, because oh
my god goodness, your nerves will trigger.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
A lot of things.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Yes, it is. It is so crazy. So when you
think about your spinal cord, you have the spinal cord,
it's nothing but a casing that protects your nerves. So
your nerves go all the way down through that casing.
And so what ends up happening is when those nerves
(27:25):
gets pinched. You remember, all every single nerve in your
body goes to some orgental function. So whether it's your eyes,
your ears, where is your tongue, your heart, your lung,
your spleen, your bladder, I mean you name it, your stomach,
It's all connected to a nerve. So that's the reason
(27:46):
why when that nerve gets agitated, you know, you may
find the heart beating real fast, or when you get
real nervous, what happens to your stomach. Your stomach is really,
really queasy. You know, you get real nervous in your bladder.
You got to use the restroom, you know, because a
frequent you're a nation. You know, it's just so amazing.
(28:10):
Every single nerve goes to an origin. Now, whether you
feel it or you don't feel it. When you have
a lot of stress, and it puts a lot of
stress on that nervous system, your body is going into
a disarray of overload. You know. I always use this example.
So last year I had a little incident on an airplane,
(28:32):
and so I can fly from Memphis to Atlanta, which
is we're going to say about a forty five minute
to a one hour flight, and I'll wake up in
the morning time catch the first flight out. I will
not have anything to drink last night or anything to
drink that morning, and I will use the restroom maybe
(28:52):
three or four times, just on a forty five to
fifty minutes light And I know that it has a
lot to do with just the nervousness. Is that I
have the anxiety that is build up from the trauma
that I had from the previous accident. You know. So
you know, I again that is normal. When I say normal,
it's normal that your nerves are functioning, and so that's
(29:14):
where the high blood pressure and things of that nature
kind of comes from. It comes from a dietary source.
But also when you think about the amount of stress
that we have each and every day, some people have
a hard time relaxing. Yeah, and so one of the
things that my doctor said to me was he said,
you know what, you're carrying on a lot of responsibilities,
and so your resting heart rate at rest is still
(29:36):
very high. So even though I wasn't doing anything, you
would think that my blood pressure would be low or
my heart rate would be low, but my heart rate
was still high even at a resting potential, which lets
me know that I'm still carrying on a lot of stress,
a lot of you know, emotions that I thought that
(29:57):
it was not bothering me. So again that's another reason
why you know that getting a good massage once a
month or twice a month, depending on you know, where
your stress level is. If you're a caregiver and you're
taking care of someone, or if you have family members
that are you know, sick, that are not doing very well,
(30:18):
or you know, if you're a parent and your kids
are off in school and you just having a hard
time sleeping, you know. I know. One of the biggest
ones that I've been hearing lately is parents have came
to me and said that their kids are home for
the summer and they're staying at home, and when they
go out to a party, they say that they just
can't sleep. They can't sleep until that kid comes back home, right,
(30:40):
you know. So again, I'm just hearing so much from
so many different people, But I don't think people really
understand how those things accumulating, how they deal, and how
they affect us in so many different ways.

(33:07):
Johnson and welcome back to.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
W d i A.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
We are talking with our Cairo practor doctor Bobby Myers,
doctor Bobby hold On. We're going to our phone lines
and talked to Beverly.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Hi, Beverly, Hey, good.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
Morning, bed Well, good afternoon well, and good afternoon, dtor Bobby.
Doctor Bobby. I heard you are talking about how you
have issues with youriniry frequency whenever you're flying on the
flight and it brought.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
Up a question that I have too.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
I was having issues with my blood pressure being elevated
in the morning time, and so my doctor recommended that
I take my blood pressure medicines at bedtime to keep
you know, my blood pressure for being elevated in the morning,
(34:02):
and neither of them are diuretics. But after I take
the medicines, you know, and I go to sleep, sometimes
after maybe two or three hours, you know, I wake
up having to go to the bathroom and it's like
and it's an urgency. I mean it's it's like it's
(34:26):
like you've taken a diuretic. If anybody takes dialuretics, you
know how they'll do. It'll rush you to the bathroom.
It's like this. But my doctor keeps assuring me neither
one of my medicines are diuretics. And then you know,
it'll be like that, like through the morning time, you know,
maybe after I get up. Yeah, I have these urgent
(34:48):
episodes to the bathroom, and then it'll stop and then
I can go kind of through the whole day and
not have to go to the bathroom unless I'm drinking
a lot of flood. And I was just wondering, you know,
when I heard you talk about, you know, your issue
on the plane, and I know nerves and everything, you know,
(35:11):
works throughout the body in different areas and on different
parts of the body, and I was just wondering if
you have any type of take on that or any
type of opinion on that.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Okay, thank you, Beverly, I'll hang up and listen, all right, Thank.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
You so much. I hope you heard our question, doctor Bobby.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
Yeah, I did. Uh, you know one thing about how
blood pressure. I think it varies from personal person, and
I should have asked her what was the blood pressure medical?
Because I take a low dosage of excuse me, a
(35:54):
low dosage of m A loader pain. That's the one
that I'm actually on. And actually, when I went to
my last checkup, the doctor talked about trying to take
me off of it, and I told him that I
wanted to stay on it for three more months. And
(36:15):
my reasoning for wanting to do it was I had
been doing a fast of drinking a gallon of water
every day, and honestly, I don't think that I can
continue to drink a gallon of water every day. So
(36:37):
I want to see if me drinking half a gallon
to three fourths of a gallon, if that would make
a difference in my blood pressure, And if so, then
I feel more comfortable with getting off of it. And
I say that because how blood pressure they called it
the silent killer. That's the thing that we live with
(37:02):
each and every day that you do not realize what
your blood pressure is because most people don't check their
blood pressure every day. If you don't have if you
don't have a problem with your blood pressure, if you
got a problem pressure, then you're probably gonna check it
a little bit more frequently. So again, so that was
my reason of And then also I had a trauma
(37:23):
where I think it was kind of more anxiety because
I was in an airplane crash about a year ago
and kind of felt like my life just kind of
went right in front of my eyes. And so even
though I don't, I try to push myself through it.
But every time that door closes and I hear it
(37:44):
a lot, it just does something to me. It's just
more of a trigger, you know, to me, and I
don't do any gummies or apes or anything of that nature.
So I try to just deal with it. And I think,
you know, it's just yet my blood pressure high. But
I do think that taking your love pressure at different
times the other day does affect you differently, So I,
you know, miss barely, I do want to say that,
(38:06):
I do think that, And actually that's something that I
may try after this time right here, is try switching
it to the swishing it to do taking it at
nighttime versus the morning time, to see how that goes.
So just over the weekend, when I was driving from
Memphis to Jackson, Mississippi, I didn't want to keep stopping
(38:26):
every forty minutes with everyone in the car. So I
did find myself actually taking my medicine a little bit later,
just to uh, to kind of help me to get
to my location before I start doing it. But but again,
I still do think that there are some side effects,
(38:46):
you know, with different types of medication. Uh. And I
think it does affect everyone totally differently. And I think
that was that was something good that you are noticing
that and you know, maybe possibly kind of change up
at the time of the at the time of the
day that you took their medication.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
Okay, I have a question here, uh doctor Bobby from
Addy and wanted to know this is doctor Bobby, what
makes your muscles get tight? Is it a lack of
exercise or something going on with your nerves.
Speaker 4 (39:20):
So there's a couple of things. I mean, tight muscles
can come from a variety of things. It can come
from a lack of water, h someone being dehydrated. It
can come from lack of magnesium and calcium inside the body,
which causes the muscles to stay very contracted. You know,
I've seen people that go into what we call hypertonicity.
(39:45):
Hypertonicity is very similar to like when someone wakes up
with a crook in their neck and those muscles become
very tight.
Speaker 3 (39:52):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (39:54):
It doesn't mean that they're weak. Uh, it just means
that they've been on overloaded. They've been overloaded, they've been
constantly firing. Maybe they slept in a bad position and
the muscles were just trying to you know, correct itself
and get it back into its normal you know positioning.
(40:15):
You know, I've seen where people have had strokes and
the muscle was just tight and just wouldn't let go.
You know. I've also seen just the opposite where someone
has been bedridden, where they stayed in the bed for
a long time and they lost a lot of muscle tone,
where where they had muscle strength you know before. You know,
(40:38):
for many people that have seen people that have been
in the hospital, they've seen that they were fully walking.
I'm talking about dancing, squatting, climbing stairs, and they can
stay in the hospital for two or three weeks and
be bedridden and it's almost like starting to walk all
over again. You know, you mean so much you know
(40:59):
muscle tone.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (41:00):
So again, it could be a it could be a
number of things, you know, it could be you know,
with the vitamins. I always right now, especially because it
is so hot outside. I get a lot of football
players that are outside training, uh and they have a
lot of charliy horses and a lot of that has
to come from dehydration.
Speaker 3 (41:21):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (41:22):
And so one of the things if you do find
yourself as fastic is that my favorite food that I
recommend that everyone is getting some watermelon.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
Oh watermelon.
Speaker 4 (41:33):
Watermelon is one of those you know foods that you
can have and uh, you know, it just hydrates the
body just very very fast.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
Oh okay.
Speaker 1 (41:42):
So, so if you're a kind of person, doctor Bobby,
that you don't drink a lot of water, the watermelon
will will will help you.
Speaker 4 (41:52):
Yes, that is that is cos that is corel okay okay.
Speaker 1 (41:57):
So and and when you're talking, I want to go
back when you were talking about those nerves, and I
know that that that when people had the spinal stenosis.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
It's it's it's with that spine.
Speaker 1 (42:09):
The nerves has something to do with that, because the
nerves are you don't explain that card but not under
the spine or they got caught in the spine or something's.
Speaker 2 (42:18):
Going on with that.
Speaker 4 (42:20):
Yeah. So with your spine. You have what you call
in your spinal cord. You have to call for rainman,
and the foramen is nothing but outlets there. They're actually
forames in another word, for a whole. It's the outlet
where it bifurcates from the spine and it goes to
the left side, and then it bifurcates and goes to
the right side, and that's how it connects the nerves
(42:45):
to all the organs. So if it's a right lung
or a left lung or you know, uh, you know,
just different areas of the body. But with that being said,
a lot of times when we get into trauma, we've
been in car accident, then we've been sitting with bad posture,
played basketball, we slipped that we fail. We land sometimes
(43:09):
on our spine on our back and sometimes we land
even try that on you know, on our front. And
what it does, it causes the spine to move, okay,
And depending on when the person comes in, you know,
you start pealpating their spine. You want to make sure
that it is straight up and down. But sometimes you'll
palpate and you'll see certain areas of the spine are
(43:32):
not properly aligned, which mean there's some curvature that's there,
and so what happens is those muscles try to protect
that area and they become very very spastic in trying
to protect that area. And that's the reason why we
usually take abue profiens. That's the reason why we put
ice packs there, because we have to decrease that inflammation
(43:52):
the quickest way possible. And the sooner that we can
get that inflammation down, it allows us to have more
range of motion. But the whole purpose of that inflammation
is to try to protect that area from getting inflamed again.
You know, if you've ever had a bump or you know,
if you had a bump on your back and you
(44:14):
go to that bump, that bump eventually gets very tender
and very sore. Well, the reason why it's sending sore
is because it's trying to protect that area. That area
is very very weak right in that area, and so
that's how we know where to actually do the adjustment at,
and that's where we know where to do the laser at.
(44:34):
That's how my massage therapist knows which part to try to,
you know, to focus on, and so taking the X
rays sometimes would definitely let us know, and then we
also know exactly those nerves, what organs are affected with that.
So you'll be so surprised on the number of things,
like I'm a asthmatic, and people don't realize that. When
(44:58):
I went to a chiropractice one time, he laid me
on the table, gave me an adjustment, and I haven't
had an asthma a tax since. Wow. Yeah, And again,
these were all things that I did not know that
even existed if I had to went to a chiropractice,
you know. But I grew up in a family. Again,
my mom and dad both are come from very big
(45:19):
families of twelves, and honestly, we just didn't know anything
about that, you know. And so no, I see kids
probably four months old, and my oldest patient is like
ninety six years old and she just had a birthday
about two weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (45:37):
So it's good doctor Bobby to come see you to
get an adjustment on your spine.
Speaker 4 (45:44):
Yes, and again, there's some people that come because they're
in a whole lot of pain, you know, right exactly,
They're coming a lot of thing. And then there's some
people that come more for just you know, they understand
the points of maintenance care. You know, maybe maybe they've had,
you know, a heart attack, or maybe we've had a stroke,
(46:05):
you know, or maybe they have some areas stiatic nerves.
And again they know that they have a job that's
sitting down for a long period of time. And if
you've got a job that you know that you're going
to sit down for a long period of time, then
you then you understand the importance of stretching and just
keeping that you know, just keeping that body going, you know.
(46:25):
So I always say, you know, just depending on what
you do for a living. Also say also too, depending
on what stage of arthritis you in. Also knowing your body.
I think a lot of people do not know their body.
And what I mean by that is if you see
that your flexibility is not the very best, and that's
something you just got to work on when you're in
(46:47):
the shower at home, making sure you take time to
bend over, make sure you take time to stretch before
you go, you know, because not doing that is going
to cause your body to change. Is posture, and it's
just going to lead to different changes. So my whole
philosophy I tell everybody is let's stay moving, let's keep
you know, your body as stretched out as possible and
(47:08):
trying to stay as independent as possible.
Speaker 2 (47:10):
Sounds good.
Speaker 1 (47:11):
And before you get out of here, doctor Bober wanted
to ask always you all always have something good going
on at James Chiropractice.
Speaker 2 (47:21):
Anything for this month?
Speaker 4 (47:23):
You know what we do? Well, we're really trying to
figure it all out. I actually celebrate a birthday next week. Yeah,
I'm very excited. I do want to do something special
for this for this month.
Speaker 3 (47:40):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (47:40):
You know, one of the things that I have taken
pride in is we have sponsored and teamed up with
miss Odestha's Supposed to Care And it's a group of
men and women that are just trying to get back
into the just get back into the world. And so
(48:03):
we've been going over there to the community and stretching
them out, just talking to them about life, talking to
them about hygiene, taking care of themselves. And so for
many of them over there, you know, needs some different clothing.
So I always tell all my guys if they have
(48:23):
twenty thirty pair of shoes at home, if they have
you know, a pair of shoes or two that you know,
maybe they just want to clean out their closet and
they just want to just help somebody out at the
same time, you know, you know, please get those donations
to us. We've been getting a lot of clothes from
different people and I just want to say thank you.
It's just, you know, it's really not really for me.
(48:45):
It's just something that i've you know, it's just been
put on my heart, you know, and just helping people
and I just another way. So at James kinndro practice
this month, we're taking old donations, shoes, clothes, as kids
are going back to school, maybe they don't need certain
things anymore, but anyway, just know that whatever you have
is going to be a blessing for someone else.
Speaker 1 (49:08):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (49:08):
And so that's what we'll be doing at the James
Chararopractic at both locations. We are going to also be
open this Saturday. Okay, this Saturday will be our last
Saturday that will be open for the month of July
before we head into August getting ready for back to
school month. A lot of them will be traveling, a
lot of us will be I got a lot of
(49:29):
students that are being doing a lot of trunk parties
getting ready to go back to school. So again it
is gonna be just a very big time, a very
big month of just encouraging uh to get these kids
get and get all the teachers back, you know, inside
the office one or two more times before they go back.
(49:49):
Uh for to go back to school.
Speaker 2 (49:51):
Sounds good, sounds good.
Speaker 1 (49:53):
And as always, doctor Bobby, let our listeners know you
have two locations where you located and you telephone number.
Speaker 4 (50:02):
Yes, so we're located an office in Cordova and we
have an office in white Haven. The office in Cordova
is eleven forty three Cully Road. It's right off for
Germantown Parkway. And then we have an office in white
Haven which is right off of Shelby Drive. It's right
next door to the south Land All. The telephone number
is seventy five to two eight eight A three. That's
(50:26):
seven five to two eight A three. And again if
you go to social media, look us up on Instagram, Facebook,
it's James Chiropractic. And so we're always just having different tips,
different things that you can be doing, ways to encourage others, inspiring,
telling testimonies, what to do if you was in a

chiropractice community. So again we welcome you if you have
not been to the office before, but just strongly encourage

and they were asking what is the best place to go,
uh to get some good soul food and get some
brunch right after church. And I said, I'll tell you what.
I got the perfect place, and uh took them down there.
(08:32):
And they are from Detroit, Chicago, other parts of the
PACIFICI and they've been content. What did name of that place?
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Again?
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Place again? But I'm gonna tell you they really did
a wonderful job for my mom for her birthday.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Celebrated your mom's birthday, didn't.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Oh my god? And you know what, And I'm gonna
tell you so many people that they kind of know
my mother, uh uh My mother has uh uh well
she had just lost her sister probably two days before that,
so it was just kind of in a little depressed state.
And when we got there, I had told the owner,
Ron Davis, and I had just mentioned him as my
(09:07):
mama's birthday and he put a special songs on the radio,
and they came out and they just sterenated her and
uh and again and just to see that look my
mama's face, and she even started crying. She was just,
you know, so so happy. So again, Uh, just had
such a wonderful time. And and again. I ended up
going right back on Tuesday. I took some of my
(09:29):
staff over there, and so now they're asking me when
can we go again? But I mean, yeah, I mean
we just had an awesome time, so real awesome time.
So I I got a second wonderful, wonderful choice, wonderful choice.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Yeah, and and and and doctor Bobby.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
There are some nice folks on that, you said, Davis,
who's who's the owner, and also your frat brother.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Yeah, a good Yes he is. He's a good guy.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Yes he is. Yes he is, Yes he is. And
you know, it's kind of funny, Bell, because I'm one
of those kind of people that when I find something
I like, I kind of stick to it.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
I think every time I've been there, I got the
same thing for the past couple of times. So everybody
keeps saying, hey, can you try something shuther No, no, no,
let me stick with this right here. Yes, but I
know next time I go, I am going to try
something different.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
All right, Well, doctor Bobby Meyers, what's going on over
there at James Kyro Practic.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
You know this week actually we've been partnering up with
the City of Memphis with employee. We have eight interns
between the Courtover office and Whitehaven office. I say kudos
to them tomorrow, excuse me, this week is their last week.
And I say kudos because we have high school students
(10:47):
as well as college students. And it's amazing that one
year of when the students go off to high school,
excuse me, leave high school to go to college, and
just how much they learn. You know, maybe mom has been,
you know, waking them up in the morning time, and
you know, when they're in high school to make sure
that they get up on time and get to school
on time. And you know, when you go to college,
(11:09):
of course, you know mom isn't there to wake them up.
You know, they have to learn those responsibilities. And it's
just so many different factors of just talking to them
that I've learned, different skills that are developed. I think
I had one employee that did not come into work
and they didn't call they didn't, you know, send a
(11:29):
text message, they didn't send an email, and they showed
up the very next day as if everything was okay,
you know, and so just having to sit down and
talk to them about the level of professionalism and you know, uh,
and just you know, different things from using the phones
and just having different type of distractions, just understanding that
you have people's lives, you know, right there in front
(11:50):
of you. And I think when I use some different examples,
and I was telling them, you know, how what they
feel if they were to go to someone brand new
and they were doing your hair for the first time,
and you know, and you hadn't the person that even
introduced themselves to you. You know, they didn't smile at you.
How comfortable would you feel with that young lady doing
(12:11):
your hair? And it's something about hair. Young teenagers understand that,
you know, oh no, doctor, I she couldn't do my hair.
She couldn't do my hair. And I said, okay, I said, well,
that's how people feel when you have their lives in
their hands, you know, you don't, you know, you gotta gotta,
you know, introduce yourself to them, you know, introduce yourself.
And so anyway It started off very slow, just with
(12:31):
some introductory things, trying to get them right, and uh,
it's really, you know, amazing in the six week time,
you know how much they've grown to learn more about
themselves and also to learn what feel they want to
go into. Many people you know, contacted, you know, the
city of Memphis and myself just trying to see if
you know, the medical profession is what they want to
(12:53):
go in. I always tell everybody, you want to be
passionate about anything you do, you know, I tell them
this is a this is a a career path that
I would do for free. And it's taught me so
many things along the way, not so much just in business,
but just personally about myself and how to treat people
and respect for people. And it's a beautiful thing for
(13:14):
me to be able to the same people that took
care of me, is beautiful for me to be able
to take care of them. So they are our young
you know, future generation. They are the ones that gonna
be taking care of us as we get older. So
we got to take the time just to treat them
right and also show them the right way. So I
think that was like very very beneficial for me. I've
(13:37):
always have done more with college students that was you know,
they graduated. Yeah, but you know, high school is kind
of a different breed. I will definitely tell you it's
a different breed. But I think if you can get
them more one on one or more isolated, they tend
to do a whole lot better. So just excited you
(13:58):
to be a part of that journey.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
And today before I get on the air, I went
and order some food for them and we just kind
of had like a little party here at the office
and uh, just you know, just trying to get them
some positive messages. Tell you something kind of interesting, Beth.
You know, I'm a big financial guy. So when it
was paid, time to come, you know, time to get
their paychecks. You know, the next question I was asking
(14:22):
them is, you know, what do you all want to
do with your money? You know? And so a lot
of them were you know, using it to try to
get you know, prepared for school the next summer. Uh,
some of them were paying their mothers and fathers back
for money that they had borrowed. But you know, it
was just interesting with some of them rising seniors getting
ready for their rings and you know, class pictures and
(14:44):
dues of sorts. So I was just very very happy that,
you know, that they got their heads on straight and
just trying to keep looking ahead and which in whatever
direction that they decided to go.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Yeah good, Yeah, well good.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I'm glad and thank you for for accepting some of
those young people from the city of Memphis who had
those jobs, because city of Memphis counts on a different
businesses to employ those young people.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
So he's off to.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
You doctor body, Hey, thank you, thank you, and you know,
and also bit of just you know, with that being said,
I think what is also very good is when people
start seeing, you know, young people start seeing other young
people taking care of their bodies, and starting at a
younger age, it starts to become a cool thing to
(15:36):
take care of your body. And so one of the
things that I've taken a lot of pride in is
making certain things cool to do. You know. I think
there was a time that going to the doctor there
was a stigma that was very negative. There was a
stigma they call it the white coat syndrome where when
(15:59):
you see some a doctor with a white coat on,
the blood pressure would go up or anxiety would come
from some trauma that may have happened in the past,
and so I don't wear my white, you know, coat
in the office except for when I'm going to speak.
But I try my best to keep it as comfortable
as possible. I try my best to try to help
(16:20):
them process and walk them through. I think the first
thing is being able to identify that there is a problem.
You know, a lot of people are in denial. They'll say,
I got it, it's under control. I got it, it's
under control. But in all that reality, the problem has
gotten bigger and bigger and bigger. We call that compounded,
you know. And so one of the things I teach
(16:41):
my students is sometimes we minimize things and what we
don't realize is they compound over a period of time.
And then you say, where did this come from? And
so we try to help them to identify the problem
and then try to work on different stages on how
we're going to attempt to solve the problem. And sometimes
(17:02):
what's solving problems, It's going to require some things that
we really don't want to do right, you know. And
I know with myself, you know, I found myself, you know,
going out socially that I had to slow down from
going out, you know so much, or either going to
or going to a different function and only staying for
(17:22):
thirty minutes to an hour, because if I stayed longer
than that, I would find myself, you know, staying out late.
I would sell myself eating you know, things that I
shouldn't be eating, or eating too late, going to sleep
on a fool stomach, or even having some drinks, you know,
anything as simple as that. And what that would do
is the very next day, it would caused me to
(17:43):
be you know, bloated. It would caused me to be sluggish,
and it caused me not willing to go to the
gym in the morning. U just a whole lot of
stiffness in my body. So you know, again there's some
things that are uncomfortable for us in the beginning. But
I promise you, you know, once you can get over
that point, you know, it gets a whole lot easier.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
So and I'm glad you've because I know how I
am with that.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
I don't like to go to the doctors, doctor Bobby,
but I go, I know, because I want to make
sure my health.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
But I don't like doctors. I don't like needles, like
any of that. But I go on. So you have
to get over your.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Fears, you really do. I think as we get older,
one of the biggest fears that I hear from people
is you don't want to lose your independency.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
You know, for anybody out there that has been in
a car accident and maybe you didn't have a car
to drive and you have to depend on your kids
or dependent on your husband or wife or a ride.
You know, to do that one or two times may
be okay, but to do that consistently is it can
be a little burden. You know, it can be a bore.
(18:54):
And so I think for most people, you want to
be able to have that access to to take care
of yourself, to take a shower when you want to
take a shower, to go where you want to go,
and just do the things you want to do, buy
what you want to buy, especially if you, you know,
live that type of life before. So I think that's
the thing that always I think about, is just trying
(19:17):
to stay as independent as possible. You know, reading, you know,
there's just so much, so many things out there that
people are getting a lot of older people or people
who do not read, and they're putting you know, different
type of verbiage in contracts, and unfortunately we're not actually
reading all those things thoroughly, and so they're taking advantage
(19:40):
of people. So again, you just want to just try
keep your mind as sharp as possible, or having someone
in your family that can read the information for you
and help you to process it, and so just taking
care of yourself. I'm just seeing a lot of stress
come through the office. So right now we're probably seeing
a lot of people that are traveling a lot more
and you know, a lot of people that are dehydrated. Again,
(20:03):
it's been extremely hot these pasts. You know, a couple
of weeks. You have a lot of the young athletes,
especially football players, uh people who are outside uh mlgn
W again you know, just outside in this type of heat.
So again we got to keep our bodies hydrated as
much as possible.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
And and one of the things I know, I don't
know if you've been seeing this a lot lately, people
who have been coming in doctor Bobby from automobile accidents.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
Oh yes, yes, yes, Oh my gosh, yes, you know.
I use this stat all the time, and the stat
basically talks about there are more car accidents and Shelby
County than there are in any of the other counties
all put together. So when you start seeing a lot
(20:58):
of those you know, commercials from all the different times, yeah, uh,
it's it is. And so with that being said, you know,
it makes you wonder, it makes you see that's the
reason why car insurance is so high and myth is
compared to other counties is because there's more car accidents
in the Shelby County area. And so what I really
(21:21):
try to stress to everyone is, you know, you need
to be not only an offensive driver, but a defensive
driver as well, you know, being aware of your surroundings.
Try your best. You know, I say that, you know,
not use your cell phone so you can actually be
as alert as possible. You know, keep your music down
to a nice level so you can hear different things,
(21:44):
you know, just just being alert. And so again, you know,
if you have, you know, been in that accident, just
knowing how to properly go about it. And I strongly
suggest you know, to go to a doctor or come
and see us and let us, you know, ef you
make sure that you're okay, because a lot of times
the adrenaline is flowing so fast that you just don't
(22:07):
feel everything right then. And unfortunately a lot of people
come because of accidents or slitcher falls or trauma that
they've had and they kind of blew it off in
the beginning and attended to bite them later on down
the road. Uh. And so again just trying to get
them to be more aware of their bodies, knowing what
kind of symptoms, what kind of things to look for.
(22:29):
And again we work with all the major insurances as
well as all the major attorneys as well.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Oh good, and and and and so with the accidents,
doctor Bobby, is it people what.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Do we call with your with your neck.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Whiplash?
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Yeah, the whiplash, the whiplash. I'm sure you probably seen,
uh and what is that? And and and probably people
with their.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Back, yes, yes, you know what. We're also getting a
lot of people that are also losing consciousness or where
they get a little day and they know it was
in an accident, but it's not totally sure how it happened,
when it happened. You know, we see a whole lot
of that, you know, from headaches, you know a lot
(23:14):
of just neck problems, lower back problems. But that whiplass
is something very very serious. And especially if that person
has had any type of you know, problems in their
neck before, they get a lot of cryps in their necks.
It's just very common, you know, and we call those
post traumatic headaches and post traumatic headaches just basically means
(23:36):
everyone's bodies stores stress in different areas. Some stored it,
you know, up in the upper part of their back
between the shoulder blade. Some you know, stored their stressed
between the lower part of their back and their sacred area,
and then some get it right behind the occiput area.
And that's why they have so many headaches.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Oh wow, So what can you do about that?
Speaker 4 (23:57):
So we have a system that we we have what
we use what you call electrical muscle stem just to
kind of relax those muscles. So you have two muscles.
You've got superficial muscles and you got deep muscles. So
the superficial muscles are muscles, but you just kind of
bump up into something in about two or three days
and goes away. Then you have more of those deeper muscles.
And that's kind of like the whiplash injury, you know,
(24:20):
where ligaments have been affected or the tendons have been overstretched,
you know, and those areas require more of a deeper
kind of therapy. So the best way they can't explain
this is, you know, I use the example of a
woman that's been pregnant. Okay, when the woman has been
pregnant and her stomach has been stretched for nine months,
those ligaments have been stretched. After she has that baby,
(24:43):
those ligaments are still very loose, Okay, So it takes
us to kind of you know, it takes time to
actually get those ligaments to go back to in this
normal place. Now, if they injured it again, or if
they have a baby number two again, those ligament stretch
again and it takes even longer to heal. So that's
(25:04):
the reason why when someone gets into an accident, you
want to try to get them the heal as fast
as possible, but you also want to try to prevent
them from doing anything else to overstretch that ligament because
that delays the healing process. So our ultrasound and laser
machine will actually tighten those ligaments up and that will
(25:25):
make that recovery time a lot faster. Now, if the
problem still keeps going on, then that's when I will
get them into the massage therapist to kind of work
on some different areas, do some what you call trigger
point therapy to try to release those trigger points. And
those trigger points again are just nothing but where the
stress stores that in the body. And then I do
(25:47):
the last part and I do my adjustment. And what
the adjustment does is just takes that bone and puts
the bone back in this proper alignment. So it takes
the pressure off of those nerves. Because see what people
don't understand is as long as there's pressure on that nerve,
no matter how much you try to take the medicine,
all that's going to do is just you know, dull
(26:09):
that pain or cause the inflammation to go down, but
the pressure is still on that nerve. So eventually it's
going to go right back, you know, feeling that pain
because it never got fully fixed. So again, we do
those different therapies first just to kind of relax that
area for me to come in do the fighter touch,
which is that adjustment, and that would definitely help the
(26:31):
particular problem.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Why is it, doctor Bobby, and I've been wondering this
for a couple of weeks, or that your nerves have
a lot of douke to do with what's going on
in your body.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
The nerves are something else.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
They really are. So you know when they say you're
getting on my nerves, yeah, you know what.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
You know what I used to say.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
You know, I got this from my mother, and we
always say I'm resting my nerves and people ask me,
I really have to rest my nerves now, because oh
my god goodness, your nerves will trigger.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
A lot of things.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Yes, it is. It is so crazy. So when you
think about your spinal cord, you have the spinal cord,
it's nothing but a casing that protects your nerves. So
your nerves go all the way down through that casing.
And so what ends up happening is when those nerves
(27:25):
gets pinched. You remember, all every single nerve in your
body goes to some orgental function. So whether it's your eyes,
your ears, where is your tongue, your heart, your lung,
your spleen, your bladder, I mean you name it, your stomach,
It's all connected to a nerve. So that's the reason
(27:46):
why when that nerve gets agitated, you know, you may
find the heart beating real fast, or when you get
real nervous, what happens to your stomach. Your stomach is really,
really queasy. You know, you get real nervous in your bladder.
You got to use the restroom, you know, because a
frequent you're a nation. You know, it's just so amazing.
(28:10):
Every single nerve goes to an origin. Now, whether you
feel it or you don't feel it. When you have
a lot of stress, and it puts a lot of
stress on that nervous system, your body is going into
a disarray of overload. You know. I always use this example.
So last year I had a little incident on an airplane,
(28:32):
and so I can fly from Memphis to Atlanta, which
is we're going to say about a forty five minute
to a one hour flight, and I'll wake up in
the morning time catch the first flight out. I will
not have anything to drink last night or anything to
drink that morning, and I will use the restroom maybe
(28:52):
three or four times, just on a forty five to
fifty minutes light And I know that it has a
lot to do with just the nervousness. Is that I
have the anxiety that is build up from the trauma
that I had from the previous accident. You know. So
you know, I again that is normal. When I say normal,
it's normal that your nerves are functioning, and so that's
(29:14):
where the high blood pressure and things of that nature
kind of comes from. It comes from a dietary source.
But also when you think about the amount of stress
that we have each and every day, some people have
a hard time relaxing. Yeah, and so one of the
things that my doctor said to me was he said,
you know what, you're carrying on a lot of responsibilities,
and so your resting heart rate at rest is still
(29:36):
very high. So even though I wasn't doing anything, you
would think that my blood pressure would be low or
my heart rate would be low, but my heart rate
was still high even at a resting potential, which lets
me know that I'm still carrying on a lot of stress,
a lot of you know, emotions that I thought that
(29:57):
it was not bothering me. So again that's another reason
why you know that getting a good massage once a
month or twice a month, depending on you know, where
your stress level is. If you're a caregiver and you're
taking care of someone, or if you have family members
that are you know, sick, that are not doing very well,
(30:18):
or you know, if you're a parent and your kids
are off in school and you just having a hard
time sleeping, you know. I know. One of the biggest
ones that I've been hearing lately is parents have came
to me and said that their kids are home for
the summer and they're staying at home, and when they
go out to a party, they say that they just
can't sleep. They can't sleep until that kid comes back home, right,
(30:40):
you know. So again, I'm just hearing so much from
so many different people, But I don't think people really
understand how those things accumulating, how they deal, and how
they affect us in so many different ways.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Good if you've just tuned in this afternoon, we are
talking with our chiropractor to Bobby Myers. If you have

(33:07):

Speaker 4 (33:09):
W d i A.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
We are talking with our Cairo practor doctor Bobby Myers,
doctor Bobby hold On. We're going to our phone lines
and talked to Beverly.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Hi, Beverly, Hey, good.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
Morning, bed Well, good afternoon well, and good afternoon, dtor Bobby.
Doctor Bobby. I heard you are talking about how you
have issues with youriniry frequency whenever you're flying on the
flight and it brought.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
Up a question that I have too.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
I was having issues with my blood pressure being elevated
in the morning time, and so my doctor recommended that
I take my blood pressure medicines at bedtime to keep
you know, my blood pressure for being elevated in the morning,
(34:02):
and neither of them are diuretics. But after I take
the medicines, you know, and I go to sleep, sometimes
after maybe two or three hours, you know, I wake
up having to go to the bathroom and it's like
and it's an urgency. I mean it's it's like it's
(34:26):
like you've taken a diuretic. If anybody takes dialuretics, you
know how they'll do. It'll rush you to the bathroom.
It's like this. But my doctor keeps assuring me neither
one of my medicines are diuretics. And then you know,
it'll be like that, like through the morning time, you know,
maybe after I get up. Yeah, I have these urgent
(34:48):
episodes to the bathroom, and then it'll stop and then
I can go kind of through the whole day and
not have to go to the bathroom unless I'm drinking
a lot of flood. And I was just wondering, you know,
when I heard you talk about, you know, your issue
on the plane, and I know nerves and everything, you know,
(35:11):
works throughout the body in different areas and on different
parts of the body, and I was just wondering if
you have any type of take on that or any
type of opinion on that.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Okay, thank you, Beverly, I'll hang up and listen, all right, Thank.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
You so much. I hope you heard our question, doctor Bobby.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
Yeah, I did. Uh, you know one thing about how
blood pressure. I think it varies from personal person, and
I should have asked her what was the blood pressure medical?
Because I take a low dosage of excuse me, a
(35:54):
low dosage of m A loader pain. That's the one
that I'm actually on. And actually, when I went to
my last checkup, the doctor talked about trying to take
me off of it, and I told him that I
wanted to stay on it for three more months. And
(36:15):
my reasoning for wanting to do it was I had
been doing a fast of drinking a gallon of water
every day, and honestly, I don't think that I can
continue to drink a gallon of water every day. So
(36:37):
I want to see if me drinking half a gallon
to three fourths of a gallon, if that would make
a difference in my blood pressure, And if so, then
I feel more comfortable with getting off of it. And
I say that because how blood pressure they called it
the silent killer. That's the thing that we live with
(37:02):
each and every day that you do not realize what
your blood pressure is because most people don't check their
blood pressure every day. If you don't have if you
don't have a problem with your blood pressure, if you
got a problem pressure, then you're probably gonna check it
a little bit more frequently. So again, so that was
my reason of And then also I had a trauma
(37:23):
where I think it was kind of more anxiety because
I was in an airplane crash about a year ago
and kind of felt like my life just kind of
went right in front of my eyes. And so even
though I don't, I try to push myself through it.
But every time that door closes and I hear it
(37:44):
a lot, it just does something to me. It's just
more of a trigger, you know, to me, and I
don't do any gummies or apes or anything of that nature.
So I try to just deal with it. And I think,
you know, it's just yet my blood pressure high. But
I do think that taking your love pressure at different
times the other day does affect you differently, So I,
you know, miss barely, I do want to say that,
(38:06):
I do think that, And actually that's something that I
may try after this time right here, is try switching
it to the swishing it to do taking it at
nighttime versus the morning time, to see how that goes.
So just over the weekend, when I was driving from
Memphis to Jackson, Mississippi, I didn't want to keep stopping
(38:26):
every forty minutes with everyone in the car. So I
did find myself actually taking my medicine a little bit later,
just to uh, to kind of help me to get
to my location before I start doing it. But but again,
I still do think that there are some side effects,
(38:46):
you know, with different types of medication. Uh. And I
think it does affect everyone totally differently. And I think
that was that was something good that you are noticing
that and you know, maybe possibly kind of change up
at the time of the at the time of the
day that you took their medication.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
Okay, I have a question here, uh doctor Bobby from
Addy and wanted to know this is doctor Bobby, what
makes your muscles get tight? Is it a lack of
exercise or something going on with your nerves.
Speaker 4 (39:20):
So there's a couple of things. I mean, tight muscles
can come from a variety of things. It can come
from a lack of water, h someone being dehydrated. It
can come from lack of magnesium and calcium inside the body,
which causes the muscles to stay very contracted. You know,
I've seen people that go into what we call hypertonicity.
(39:45):
Hypertonicity is very similar to like when someone wakes up
with a crook in their neck and those muscles become
very tight.
Speaker 3 (39:52):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (39:54):
It doesn't mean that they're weak. Uh, it just means
that they've been on overloaded. They've been overloaded, they've been
constantly firing. Maybe they slept in a bad position and
the muscles were just trying to you know, correct itself
and get it back into its normal you know positioning.
(40:15):
You know, I've seen where people have had strokes and
the muscle was just tight and just wouldn't let go.
You know. I've also seen just the opposite where someone
has been bedridden, where they stayed in the bed for
a long time and they lost a lot of muscle tone,
where where they had muscle strength you know before. You know,
(40:38):
for many people that have seen people that have been
in the hospital, they've seen that they were fully walking.
I'm talking about dancing, squatting, climbing stairs, and they can
stay in the hospital for two or three weeks and
be bedridden and it's almost like starting to walk all
over again. You know, you mean so much you know
(40:59):
muscle tone.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (41:00):
So again, it could be a it could be a
number of things, you know, it could be you know,
with the vitamins. I always right now, especially because it
is so hot outside. I get a lot of football
players that are outside training, uh and they have a
lot of charliy horses and a lot of that has
to come from dehydration.
Speaker 3 (41:21):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (41:22):
And so one of the things if you do find
yourself as fastic is that my favorite food that I
recommend that everyone is getting some watermelon.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
Oh watermelon.
Speaker 4 (41:33):
Watermelon is one of those you know foods that you
can have and uh, you know, it just hydrates the
body just very very fast.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
Oh okay.
Speaker 1 (41:42):
So, so if you're a kind of person, doctor Bobby,
that you don't drink a lot of water, the watermelon
will will will help you.
Speaker 4 (41:52):
Yes, that is that is cos that is corel okay okay.
Speaker 1 (41:57):
So and and when you're talking, I want to go
back when you were talking about those nerves, and I
know that that that when people had the spinal stenosis.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
It's it's it's with that spine.
Speaker 1 (42:09):
The nerves has something to do with that, because the
nerves are you don't explain that card but not under
the spine or they got caught in the spine or something's.
Speaker 2 (42:18):
Going on with that.
Speaker 4 (42:20):
Yeah. So with your spine. You have what you call
in your spinal cord. You have to call for rainman,
and the foramen is nothing but outlets there. They're actually
forames in another word, for a whole. It's the outlet
where it bifurcates from the spine and it goes to
the left side, and then it bifurcates and goes to
the right side, and that's how it connects the nerves
(42:45):
to all the organs. So if it's a right lung
or a left lung or you know, uh, you know,
just different areas of the body. But with that being said,
a lot of times when we get into trauma, we've
been in car accident, then we've been sitting with bad posture,
played basketball, we slipped that we fail. We land sometimes
(43:09):
on our spine on our back and sometimes we land
even try that on you know, on our front. And
what it does, it causes the spine to move, okay,
And depending on when the person comes in, you know,
you start pealpating their spine. You want to make sure
that it is straight up and down. But sometimes you'll
palpate and you'll see certain areas of the spine are
(43:32):
not properly aligned, which mean there's some curvature that's there,
and so what happens is those muscles try to protect
that area and they become very very spastic in trying
to protect that area. And that's the reason why we
usually take abue profiens. That's the reason why we put
ice packs there, because we have to decrease that inflammation
(43:52):
the quickest way possible. And the sooner that we can
get that inflammation down, it allows us to have more
range of motion. But the whole purpose of that inflammation
is to try to protect that area from getting inflamed again.
You know, if you've ever had a bump or you know,
if you had a bump on your back and you
(44:14):
go to that bump, that bump eventually gets very tender
and very sore. Well, the reason why it's sending sore
is because it's trying to protect that area. That area
is very very weak right in that area, and so
that's how we know where to actually do the adjustment at,
and that's where we know where to do the laser at.
(44:34):
That's how my massage therapist knows which part to try to,
you know, to focus on, and so taking the X
rays sometimes would definitely let us know, and then we
also know exactly those nerves, what organs are affected with that.
So you'll be so surprised on the number of things,
like I'm a asthmatic, and people don't realize that. When
(44:58):
I went to a chiropractice one time, he laid me
on the table, gave me an adjustment, and I haven't
had an asthma a tax since. Wow. Yeah, And again,
these were all things that I did not know that
even existed if I had to went to a chiropractice,
you know. But I grew up in a family. Again,
my mom and dad both are come from very big
(45:19):
families of twelves, and honestly, we just didn't know anything
about that, you know. And so no, I see kids
probably four months old, and my oldest patient is like
ninety six years old and she just had a birthday
about two weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (45:37):
So it's good doctor Bobby to come see you to
get an adjustment on your spine.
Speaker 4 (45:44):
Yes, and again, there's some people that come because they're
in a whole lot of pain, you know, right exactly,
They're coming a lot of thing. And then there's some
people that come more for just you know, they understand
the points of maintenance care. You know, maybe maybe they've had,
you know, a heart attack, or maybe we've had a stroke,
(46:05):
you know, or maybe they have some areas stiatic nerves.
And again they know that they have a job that's
sitting down for a long period of time. And if
you've got a job that you know that you're going
to sit down for a long period of time, then
you then you understand the importance of stretching and just
keeping that you know, just keeping that body going, you know.
(46:25):
So I always say, you know, just depending on what
you do for a living. Also say also too, depending
on what stage of arthritis you in. Also knowing your body.
I think a lot of people do not know their body.
And what I mean by that is if you see
that your flexibility is not the very best, and that's
something you just got to work on when you're in
(46:47):
the shower at home, making sure you take time to
bend over, make sure you take time to stretch before
you go, you know, because not doing that is going
to cause your body to change. Is posture, and it's
just going to lead to different changes. So my whole
philosophy I tell everybody is let's stay moving, let's keep
you know, your body as stretched out as possible and
(47:08):
trying to stay as independent as possible.
Speaker 2 (47:10):
Sounds good.
Speaker 1 (47:11):
And before you get out of here, doctor Bober wanted
to ask always you all always have something good going
on at James Chiropractice.
Speaker 2 (47:21):
Anything for this month?
Speaker 4 (47:23):
You know what we do? Well, we're really trying to
figure it all out. I actually celebrate a birthday next week. Yeah,
I'm very excited. I do want to do something special
for this for this month.
Speaker 3 (47:40):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (47:40):
You know, one of the things that I have taken
pride in is we have sponsored and teamed up with
miss Odestha's Supposed to Care And it's a group of
men and women that are just trying to get back
into the just get back into the world. And so
(48:03):
we've been going over there to the community and stretching
them out, just talking to them about life, talking to
them about hygiene, taking care of themselves. And so for
many of them over there, you know, needs some different clothing.
So I always tell all my guys if they have
(48:23):
twenty thirty pair of shoes at home, if they have
you know, a pair of shoes or two that you know,
maybe they just want to clean out their closet and
they just want to just help somebody out at the
same time, you know, you know, please get those donations
to us. We've been getting a lot of clothes from
different people and I just want to say thank you.
It's just, you know, it's really not really for me.
(48:45):
It's just something that i've you know, it's just been
put on my heart, you know, and just helping people
and I just another way. So at James kinndro practice
this month, we're taking old donations, shoes, clothes, as kids
are going back to school, maybe they don't need certain
things anymore, but anyway, just know that whatever you have
is going to be a blessing for someone else.
Speaker 1 (49:08):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (49:08):
And so that's what we'll be doing at the James
Chararopractic at both locations. We are going to also be
open this Saturday. Okay, this Saturday will be our last
Saturday that will be open for the month of July
before we head into August getting ready for back to
school month. A lot of them will be traveling, a
lot of us will be I got a lot of
(49:29):
students that are being doing a lot of trunk parties
getting ready to go back to school. So again it
is gonna be just a very big time, a very
big month of just encouraging uh to get these kids
get and get all the teachers back, you know, inside
the office one or two more times before they go back.
(49:49):
Uh for to go back to school.
Speaker 2 (49:51):
Sounds good, sounds good.
Speaker 1 (49:53):
And as always, doctor Bobby, let our listeners know you
have two locations where you located and you telephone number.
Speaker 4 (50:02):
Yes, so we're located an office in Cordova and we
have an office in white Haven. The office in Cordova
is eleven forty three Cully Road. It's right off for
Germantown Parkway. And then we have an office in white
Haven which is right off of Shelby Drive. It's right
next door to the south Land All. The telephone number
is seventy five to two eight eight A three. That's
(50:26):
seven five to two eight A three. And again if
you go to social media, look us up on Instagram, Facebook,
it's James Chiropractic. And so we're always just having different tips,
different things that you can be doing, ways to encourage others, inspiring,
telling testimonies, what to do if you was in a
(50:47):
car accident, and just a little bit about the James
chiropractice community. So again we welcome you if you have
not been to the office before, but just strongly encourage
everyone just to take better care of themselves.
Speaker 1 (51:00):

so glad you told me about your your accepting clothing
donations because brother, I got a bag full.
