Speaker 4 (01:05):
Good afternoon and welcome back to the second half of
the Bev Johnson Show. Here at wd I A we
are rocking and rolling on this Wednesday, November twelve, twenty
twenty five. Enjoyed this fabulous day to day. As I
said earlier back in the saddle our Cairo practor from
(01:28):
James Cairo Practic, Doctor Bobby Myers.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Good afternoon, doctor Bobby Myers. How are you, brother?
Speaker 5 (01:36):
Hey, I'm doing wonderful bail. Today is a beautiful day, beil.
It's a beautiful day.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
It is a beautiful day, doctor Bobby, my kind of day,
you know.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
Just waking up this morning. You know, you know, we
we started something kind of new at James Chiropractic, which
is kind of really cool and can't take full credit
for the idea, but we did what you call a
grateful board and what we so the idea came about
(02:09):
that there's more people that commit suicide or depressed lonely,
just a whole lot of mixed you know, feelings and
memories around this time of the year. And so with
that being said, uh, we we know that there's a
lot of things that we can talk about that we
wish that was better or greater. Uh, But at the
(02:31):
same time, we still have so many things to be
thankful for. And that's the one lesson that I try
to teach my staff and what I'm doing training is
our job is to you know, not only to help
to heal, but to also you know, congratulate them on
where we are now and and just in all of
(02:54):
our efforts, you know that we're really trying to do. So,
we have a grateful board and so we usually ask
patients when they walk in, what are you thankful for?
And again, everybody has a different you know, you know,
different things that they're thankful for, and they write it
over the sheet of paper and we tack it on
the board. And you'll be surprised on how many people
(03:14):
that walk by that board, that reads that board and
they think about those things and it push them more
into a positive light. Just yesterday, I was blessed that
afternoon to talk to a patient that I was telling
you know them about the board and about what I
(03:34):
was asking for them to do for me. And she
started crying and she told me that she was very
suicidal and just told me just you know, some different
things that were going on inside of her life. And
she just told me that what I did for her
that day was one of the best things that that
(03:56):
I could have done for today and that she really
needed it. So something was to trendspot are at work
or at home or you know, at our job or
some kind of way, And that was just one of
those days. And so, you know, being you know, away
from family, you know, just different things going on. And
I always tell everybody you never know what's message going through.
(04:17):
And so I think that's one of the things about
myself is just always trying to look at the bright
side of things, always trying to be happy for what
we do have, trying to look at the gap the
glasses being half fools instead of have empty and just
looking at the bright side of things. So for all
of my patients out there, for all the people that
(04:39):
know me, they know my staff, this is my time
of the year for giving back. We had partnered with
Miss Odessa's Foster Care. We're donating jackets if anyone has
any old jackets, old clothes. Again, we have about thirty
to thirty three men and about six women. And it's
(05:00):
something that you know that that that I tell my
staff that I will do it by myself, but at
the same time, I also want to share and just
let others know what we're doing and if it's on
their heart and it's something that they can do. You know,
you'll never be surprised on some of the things that
you have at home that you may not even use anymore.
(05:21):
I know I have some clothes that I haven't worn
in four or five years and probably will never wear
them again for some apparent reason, and just being a
blessing to somebody else that does not have so at
my office. Again, it's just always just trying to teach
different things, you know, as we go throughout the day.
So we're going to be having our annual Thanksgiving luncheon.
(05:43):
It's going to be on that Wednesday, which is gonna
be next Wednesday, which is the nineteenth, at the Cordova office,
and then on that Thursday we're going to be having
it at the white Haven office. So again I try
to make sure that both offices get a chance to
show love and appreciation to all of the listeners and
just all my patients, all my friends, people haven't seen
a long time, and just you know, just people just
(06:06):
that just have done whatever they can do to just
support me and just tell others about what we're doing.
I just want to say thank you, and to you
also to be I'm just want to say thank you
for all that you do.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
You're welcome.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Now now, doctor Bobby, Now who is this said? You
said that you help out with clothes and stuff. What
is the place?
Speaker 5 (06:23):
Yes, it's called miss Odessa's Foster Care. It's over in
the LC lemarn On in College area.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Oh okay, yes, for your associate. You take me out
young people.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Or actually they are adults. Okay, they are adults. Uh.
And mainly between the sizes of you know, large and
extra large for most of the men. H and so
most of the women are probably more fatigue probably I'm
gonna say probably well anywhere between small and large. And
(06:57):
again just spell on some hard times and we've been
going over there. I've been sending my staff over there
kind of volunteering and just spending time with them, talking
to them. They have a young lady that volunteers to
do some to do some dental cleaning and dental work
and just you know, you just be surprised when we
(07:18):
come over there, their eyes just you know, light up.
I got some friends of mine that have just donated
some different fraternities that came over there to speak to
the men and just speaking to the women. And one
of the things that I will never forget what they
said was everybody has a choice, you know, and we
(07:38):
make choices every single day, and just remember that you
do have a choice, and you are valued. And so
no matter what's going on, I think a lot of times,
with the pressure that's going on in the world, sometimes
you know, it does get very hard. But having those
conversations with people to let them know that, you know,
(08:00):
these material things are very nice and great, but they
don't make us who we are, you know. And I
think that's where we kind of got a little bit
away from, is just being a very good person no
matter what's going on in your life. So I stress,
I stress and encourage everyone if you have a family member,
just reach out to them, call them, talk to them,
(08:21):
give them a hug. You'll be surprised on what what
you say that could really help someone else.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Good. Good, that's a good thing.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
I was thinking because doctor Bibot, I was looking the
other day.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
I have a bag full. So that's that's what I
was asking.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
No, thank you so much, you know, and again, you know,
I don't you know, I never want to be that
person to act that I'm trying to beg anybody or
I don't want anyone to do anything that they don't
want to do. All I say is, you know, there
is a place that is in need, and they would
just love I mean, I've even had patience that I've
(09:02):
even talked to them about what I'm doing. And some
of them are singers and entertainers. You know, they said, hey, listen,
I don't have any of this, but I can come
over there and sing to them. And I was like, listen,
they would love that, you know, you know, because you
know what the way that I was caught is giving
is giving, and you know, giving to someone maybe something else,
(09:23):
giving you know, something else to something else. So you know,
everyone has different talents. Whatever your talent is whatever you
can do to try to bless somebody else. You know,
I strongly encourage us to do it. So thank you, Bell.
I appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
You are so welcome.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
So yeah, I have a yeah, I do, I do.
I'm trying to get rid of you a lot of clothes, brother,
doctor Bobby.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
You do not want to know.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
Well, you know, I did want to say. You can
drop it off at our location, uh my court O
office which is eleven forty three Cully Road, that's here
in the Cordova location. Or you can drop it off
in my white Haven office which is forty seven zero
seven wood Ridge and that's right besides the Southland Mall
(10:16):
in between Bishop Burns. So we would love to have
your donations in any kind of way.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
See fit Okay, So other than that, doctor Bobby, as
we talk about our health, and I know you always
talk about our health, the weather has turned on us,
doctor Bobby.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
People had to turn on their heat.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
Yes, yes, yes, you know. We've been seeing a lot
of patients coming in with a lot of stiffness. I
will say that I think that a lot of things
that we got away with in the summertime, I think
are kind of showing up now in the winter time.
You know, one thing about myself is I'm trying to
(10:59):
get more sleep, and I can definitely tell that I'm
sleeping so much better in the winter time. But of
course with sleep comes laziness, and with that laziness you
can find yourself just not being as active. So this
is the time that most people start to gain weight
because they're not as active. We're watching more sports, we're
(11:24):
coming in the house a lot earlier, we got shorter daylight,
getting less sunshine. So again, this is that time to
start monitoring your weight, uh, to not let it catch
up with you, because we've got some good eating going
on right now.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Right, So so so what do you you you suggest?
Speaker 1 (11:44):
I know, we we we've changed.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Our clocks, so we fall back, so we get a
little extra hour of sleep. But you said, you see
you're seeing a lot of stiffness in the neck, in
the back. What's going on, doctor Bobby?
Speaker 5 (12:00):
You know, So one of the things that I've kind
of recommended is to get one of those fitbit or
get one of those kind of watches where you kind
of monitor your steps, just to try to make sure
you're trying to get anywhere between eight to ten thousand steps.
You know, if you have a job that you know
it's a stationary job where you're sitting down for a
long period of time trying to just get up. And
(12:23):
instead of you know, parking your car closed, parking your
car a little far away, just anytime that you can
get some type of activity and movement in. I strongly
suggest that, you know, something was kind of interesting. I
went to the cardiologist actually last week, and the cardiologist
said something to me that was kind of weird. And
what I mean by bat was, lately, when I've been flying,
(12:45):
I've been flying these long flights ten and twelve hours,
and I've been eating a lot of airplane food, and
so in my mind, I'm like, you know, I'm not
eating that many calories. You know, I was gaining between
eight to ten pounds while I was flying, you know,
over that weekend. And I said, eight to ten pounds,
(13:06):
that's a lot of weight for a three or four
day period. And so when I came back, I wanted
to talk to the cardiology, said, hey, I need somebody
to help, you know, help me understand what's really going on.
What's going on, And the cardiology started laughing at me,
and I said, you know, why are you laughing? And
he said that what you don't realize is when you
eat airplane food, there's three to four times as many
(13:30):
preservatives and sodium and the food. So the whole time
I'm thinking that I'm only eating a small portion of food,
I didn't realize that I'm having three to four times
the amount of sodium and the amount of preservatives that
I normally would eat. And that's what was causing me
(13:50):
to swell. And then after I get back, Yeah, and
then after I get back to you know, Myphis, it'll
take about three days and all of that water weight,
know that sodium would get out of me. But I
was flying so much, you know, two to three times
a month, that I did not realize that I was
taking in from her sodium. So for all the individuals
(14:11):
out there that are having a lot of joint stiffness,
a lot of problems, you know, waking up in the
morning feeling like their fingers are swelling, watch that sodium intake.
Because a lot of restaurants ound here are going through
some hard times and they're having to you know, store
(14:31):
that food and preserve that food for a longer period
of time, and so just got to be mindful of
what you used to eat. May didn't bother you, but
you're not knowing what they're doing to the foods, and
so you are consuming what you normally would consume and
just not realizing that you're consuming more sodium. So many
(14:52):
people out there that got you know, high blood pressure,
diabetes or different different elements. You know. Again, try to
do as natural as possible or as fresh foods as possible,
or better yet, just go to the grocery store and
cook and prepare your own.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Meals, because that is not good for you.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
A lot a lot of sodium, I know, doctor Bobby,
and tell me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
We need a little bit, but we don't we overdo
it right.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
Correct, correct, correct? A little sodium is okay, But again,
just not knowing exactly what other restaurants and people are
putting inside those foods is causing us to swell. They
have a lot of stiffness, especially around this time of
the year.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Okay, okay, and so the stiffness you said, the neck
in the back, and you can help with that.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
I know you have some things you do.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
Yeah, you know. The biggest thing is and again we're
strongly and I say this because most people they will
think of stiffness being associated with athletes, and you know,
athletes definitely need stretching in the proper you know, therapies.
But what's happening to us is is causing our posture
(16:13):
to change. So instead of standing up straight, you'll see
individuals starting to get kind of humped over. You'll start
seeing a lot more headaches, migraine headaches. And one of
the biggest things is our immune system is trying to
fight each and every day. Many people don't realize this,
but a lot of people are getting sick. They are
(16:34):
sneezing alive. The weather is changing, walking outside, that change
of temperature, you know, from being you know, you know,
from cold weather to you know, get into your car
and the car being hot, you know, having t shirts on,
not wearing hats, kids not wearing jackets. I mean, I
can go on and on. You know, I've been hearing
about some schools have been like closing down because so
(16:57):
many people are already getting sick. So the one thing
that we've been stressing, even inside of our office, is
just how to properly make sure that your immune system
stays as strong as possible, and of course you know
there's there's you know, there's numerous of vitamins that are
out there. Uh, there's an adjustment that we do in
the neck area, which is your C one C two,
(17:17):
which are the top two vertebrae. And if I adjust
those two areas, that vertebrae there controls your immune system.
So we've been doing a whole lot of that, and
again really just trying to stress the importance of drinking
water and staying properly stretched. Uh. Those are just those
are a few key components that you can do on
your own just to try to keep that immune system,
(17:39):
especially as we go through this this particular season.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
You know what, I am learning so much today, not
not I think for my first guest, I learned something today.
And now wait a minute, doctor Bobby, you telling me
your vertebrate A part of it works with your immune system.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
That's correct, That's correct, that's your.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
You say that before today?
Speaker 5 (18:07):
Yeah, So you know, when a person comes in and
you know what, and and again, most of the time
when someone comes in, I really just address the issues
that they came in for. And then there's sometimes some
when they'll come in they made tim if they had
a hard week, or they made timmy they had a
headache a couple of days ago, uh, or some different things.
(18:30):
But a lot of different problems come from in the
neck area. So when you see a chiropractor generally adjusting
the neck, typically they're checking your vertebrae. That's where your
headaches comes from. It's also your sinus and your immune system. Now,
a lot of people also get what you call a
pinch nerve into the neck where they may start having
(18:51):
that radiating pain that shoots down their arms, their shoulders,
and sometimes affects their hands. Some people get what you
call carporal tunnel syndrome as well, and that's also effected
in the lower part of the neck. But in that
upper part of the neck, that's where your headaches and
your sinus and your immune system, all three of those
are all met upper cervical area.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Oh wow, So.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
That's the reason why. So, so that's the reason why.
A lot of times I like to know how a
person sleeps when I look at when I look at
their neck, I'm looking to see if they've lost some
of the curvature in your neck. I'm looking to see.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (19:29):
Some people have been in a car accident and they
get whiplash.
Speaker 6 (19:33):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
And so instead of their head their necks sitting properly,
their neck may sit more with what we call an
anterior carriage, means that it sits more forward. And when
it sits more forward, it puts a lot of pressure
and stress and a lot of the trigger points starts
to come between the upper part of the cervical area
all the way down to the all the way down
(19:55):
to their traps. So individuals that do a lot of
overhead movements, such as barbers or beauticians and do a
lot with their they do they do a lot with
their arms in their hands. Our contractors they typically see
a lot of problems in their cervical area, which is
their neck, and they up part of their back.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
Okay, okay, I'm good. So that so that that that
spinal cord does a lot.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Oh, I mean it totally.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Yeah, yeah, tell me about it. It does a lot.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
Yeah, it does a lot. It does a lot in it.
And again you'll see individuals that have strokes or individuals
that uh and and that's that's another reason why you
want to make sure that that blood flow is there's
just no interference uh in the nerve flow or the
blood flow, because that area is so intricate, because it
goes to the brain and it also goes to all
(20:49):
the orders in your body.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
All right, hold on, doctor Bobby please, we will take
a break. We will continue our conversation with our Cairo

Speaker 2 (22:50):
Are you ready.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
You're listening to the Bev Johnson Show.
Speaker 6 (23:20):
Here's Bev Johnson.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
And we're talking with our Cairo practor, doctor Bobby Myers
from James Cairo Practic and Doctor Bobby. I had a
question for you from from Daphne and she wanted to know,
doctor Bobby, why are we seeing so much psiattica going on.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
I've never heard that before.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
It seems like now everywhere I go it's talking about
sciatica pain or neuropathy.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
Yeah. I think a lot of statica pain is typically
coming from more and more people working from home or
having more jobs that are sitting at a desk. I
think more people are traveling, more people are sitting down,
you know. I also think that the the benefits of
(24:16):
stretching just has not been stressed enough. One of the
things that we've been doing here is more of teaching
people how to stretch, whether it's with my staff or
with the massage therapist. I will say that these past months,
the two or three months, we have been extremely busy,
(24:39):
extremely and you're right, we're getting more satage issues probably
than any other issue. I'll probably say sadag issues is
number one, and I'm probably gonna say headaches will probably
be number two. Oh really, mm hmm, I will probably
say headaches. And again, I think a lot of it
is just stress that just accumulates and you kind of
(25:01):
feel like you're okay, I can deal with I can
deal with it, and it just keeps accumulating, accumulating, accumulating, right,
And uh, you know, for any of you all that
has had SADIC paying before, they you know, you know,
it's a nagging toothache, like it's just a nagging, nagging
you just can't get comfortable for anything, you can't do anything.
(25:24):
And uh, you know, so one of the things that
I that I you know, try my best to do,
you know what, you know, it's it's I think it's
more of really just trying to get more people to
be more proactive. I think a lot of the problems
we have are problems that we feel like or just
want to go away, or we feel like, you know,
(25:46):
it's just for you know, uh, a few minutes so
I can take this, you know, advil or this you know,
out in the open, and you know, and and and
again it may you know, damper it down just a
little bit, but the problem is still there. And then
when it comes back, it's even that much more. Uh,
And it just keeps going and keeps going, and then
before you know it, you know, you got a problem
(26:07):
like sciatica that probably could have got taken you know,
care of, you know, if you had to just address
it a little bit sooner.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
And I was thinking with the sciatica because and I'm
like Daphne, more and more people are dealing with sciatica.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
I know, I am.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
And it's it's just like and I think, doctor Bobby,
was it something that I did years years, years ago
that that now it's triggering because you get older.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
So because I don't hear, well, I don't, I don't know,
doctor Bobby. You can tell me, do young younger people
suffer with sciatica?
Speaker 5 (26:46):
You know what?
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Not?
Speaker 5 (26:48):
Typically typically you'll see you know, my runners guys that
do a lot of running. Uh, you'll see a lot
with my cyclists, you know, people that are sitting down
the cyclers. But those are pretty much the main individuals
that I see. You don't see it just you know,
very commonly or pretty much from a car accident where
(27:09):
maybe they fail, you know, from playing football, they fail
on their side, you know, some type of injury. I
guess I should say, but usually usually when someone is older,
typically it's not from an injury. Sometimes it's from just
poor posture. It can come from, you know, sitting on
a wallet. Now with my guys, that's the most common thing,
(27:32):
is sitting on a wallet. Ladies. Sometimes it's from wearing heels,
the lower back being very tired and you find yourself
kind of shifting me away from side to side, just
trying to take pressure off of that, you know, off
that hip. But again, prolong sitting is one of the
biggest biggest coming factors.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
Wow, okay, okay, I have this email and it is
please ask doctor Bobby what can I do or take
for the clicking sound. I have started to hear clicking sound,
so I don't know if she's talking about in her ear. Yeah,
I guess she's talking about her ears, and I don't
(28:15):
know if you deal with the ears.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
But she says, doctor Bobby, what can I do.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Or take for the clicking sound I have started to hear?
And oh, she said, Okay, so I'm looking at this degenerative.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Hostill writer's disease. Doctor Bobby, you know about that?
Speaker 5 (28:36):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (28:38):
So yeah, okay, So she has that at the first
and so she says, what can I do or take
for the clicking sound I have started to hear?
Speaker 5 (28:48):
Okay, So I want to say, I got to write,
So is the clicking sound in her ear or is
the clicking sound in her joints when she moves like
her neck or her body in a certain way.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Okay, that's a good question, So sister, I'll email me back.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Because she didn't say what was in her ears or
in her joints. So if you if you think so,
I don't know if you could dress either one.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
If it's in your joints, what.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
Yeah, So if it's so, if it's in the joints,
typically what you have is the cartilage in that area
sometimes has been kind of loose. I do see that
a lot of times when someone has been stretching or
they overstretch a particular you know area. Now, as far
(29:42):
as the clicking in the ear, I don't know much
about that. I just know that usually I would you know,
send them over to a ear nose and throat to
make sure the sinuses are fine. Or having my shoe gum.
I know sometimes when I'm flying on the airplane and
my ears pop, I try to chew gum, and that
(30:04):
typically helps to open that area up.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Mm so, And and you said again, if it's the joint.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
To it, it just you know, that's more like I
think that's kind of more normal. As far as like cocrepitis,
typically it's more like gas bubbles. It's more like the friction.
Uh So, the cartilage in that area typically is damaged.
We do what you call an ultrasound machine to try
(30:34):
to get the swelling out of those joints. So what
I would recommend is take your hand and stick your
hand into like a cup of ice water and let
it sit there just for about you know, five minutes.
Uh And that should decrease the joint swelling as well
(30:55):
as decrease the clicking.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
Okay, okay, okay, okay, good question. Thank you for emailing
us MS Pollard. Yeah, that was a good question here,
big and and and when you think about this, when
I think about this, doctor Bobby, as a chiropractor, you
you you you also deal with joints or basically, doctor Bobby,
(31:20):
let me ask you, because somebody is listening, or are
you basically when someone comes to the chiropractor, you're dealing
with that spinal area, your spine.
Speaker 5 (31:31):
I am. I am. So I think what kind of
makes me a little bit different from most chiropractors is
because I deal with a lot of sports. I've took
I've taken quite a few extra classes on extremities. So
I deal a lot with ankles, with knees, with shoulders,
(31:52):
with wrists, and dealing with sports. Of course, you know
a lot of athletes will you know, twist their ankles.
A lot of a lot of athletes, you know, get
a c l injuries. I get a lot of basketball
players and wrestlers with the shoulders, even lifting weights. You know,
sometimes you'll find someone lifting some weights and they may
(32:15):
hyper extend or they may actually overstretch a particular you know,
in the rotator cuff. You know, we get a lot
of individuals to get a lot of whiplash injuries. So
with that being said, I do a lot with the rehabs.
So any individuals may have had a surgery, uh, and
(32:36):
they may come to me just as a second opinion.
You know, we have a machine which is a laser
therapy machine which actually helps speeds up the healing time
when a person does have surgery. So it helps to
tighten those ligaments up. Uh, Because when that ligament has
been you know, sprained, you know a few times, it
(33:00):
becomes very loose. And so with that laser therapy, it
ties that ligament up, so it makes it a lot
more stronger. So it allows an athlete to be able
to run, to be able to cut, you know, to
make sudden movements to the left, to the right, and
it just makes them feel more confident about doing whatever
whatever moves they're trying to make.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
Okay, okay, I want to go back one of the
things that you said, doctor Bobby, when you're talking about
the spine and how it affects your immune system, does
when you do those adjustments, is that helping as well?
Speaker 5 (33:34):
Yes, So when we do the adjustments, many people don't
totally understand what all goes into the adjustment, but I'm
actually palpating the spine to see exactly which bones are
actually misaligned. So if the bone is already in this
proper position, then I'm not going to adjust that area.
(33:55):
And so you have to be able to feel the
spine to know exactly which vertebra needs to be moved. Now,
of course having an X ray will tell you more definitives,
but you want to pay. You want to exactly see
exactly what's going on so you can address that issue properly.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
Okay, So when you're doing their adjustment, and I know
you've done one on me, and.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
You've done several on me.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
But I was thinking that doctor, But I've been meaning
to ask you this, and I'm probably sure are some.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Of your patients.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
I don't know if they've ever asked you when you
been doing that clicking thing?
Speaker 1 (34:32):
What what what are you doing?
Speaker 5 (34:36):
So no, that's very good.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
People want to know.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
I'm sure some of your your your patient's been saying, oh,
have never asked.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
You what what is doctor Bobby doing with this clicking thing?
Speaker 6 (34:50):
Like a.
Speaker 5 (34:52):
Yes, So that clicking thing that I'm using it with
all an activator.
Speaker 4 (34:58):
Okay, so it's not a clicking it's active what do
you do with the activator?
Speaker 5 (35:06):
Yes, you know, so the activator is to not only
adjust the bones depending on where you position it at,
you can also use the activator to release trigger points.
And so, because I'm seeing, you know, roughly thirty forty
people a day, I used to go home with my
(35:29):
thumbs feeling so sore and so tired from just trying
to you know, mash out those trigger points and everyone.
And so I got the devices that activators that just
try to help save my body. You know. One of
the things that I like about the activator is it
(35:50):
allows me to do more people and to do them
more efficiently, and I can come home and kind of
save my body.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (35:57):
Technology is just changing so much. I've seen different kinds,
you know, and I'm always looking for some different gadgets
and different technology that will better help me, you know,
assist my patients. We have a we have a new
massage therapist that's working with us, and her name is
Miss Kenzie, and she is phenomenal. She was also a
(36:23):
massage instructor. She's been helping me out with education. You know,
education is a piece that I'm I'm just strongly big
into education. I feel like the more that we can
educate people, the better choices that they can make. So
anytime you can, you know, you can expand your team
(36:46):
with more educational base.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (36:48):
It just takes a lot of pressure off of me,
and so her and I work very very well together
as a team. So uh, I know, she goes home
with her fingers being very sore, and so I try
to do most of the activating with that device, and
it just loosens that person up. Now again, if a
(37:09):
person is very very sensitive and they're very very tight,
it is going to feel a little bit uncomfortable in
the very beginning because you know your body's going through
that change. But after they've been doing it for some time,
you know they already know, and those knots have already
been kind of broken up. The activator doesn't feel bad
at all. The only thing that I suggest is after
(37:31):
you get the activator, after you get the adjustment, I
always want my patients to drink plenty of water because
it is a good chance that you will be a
little sore, you know, after that, you know, after that visit.
Speaker 4 (37:43):
Oh okay, well, I'm glad you explained that to me,
because what does doctor Bibby doing this.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
This thing that.
Speaker 5 (37:53):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Yeah, I always ask you that.
Speaker 4 (37:57):
Hold on, doctor Bibber, I think I said, have someone called,
so hold on, let me see if I can get
this question. W w D I a have a question
for doctor Bobbin.
Speaker 8 (38:07):
Yes, how y'all doing down there today?
Speaker 1 (38:09):
Bell, We're doing fine. We're doing fine. How about you?
Speaker 8 (38:13):
I can't complain. I had wanted to ask the doctor.
I just had a back procedure. Doc, was my nerves
my disk was pinching my nerves or something like that.
But anyway, they went.
Speaker 5 (38:26):
In there at the VA. They went in there and
they straightened it out and everything. And I was staying
in the hospital about twenty four to forty eight hours.
You know.
Speaker 8 (38:33):
I came home about a day or two afterwards. And
before I left, they wanted to set me up with
some physical therapists. And they started calling out these people
now and these coming. I said, well hold on, just
hold up on that. I said, let me get back
with you on that. And so, Doc, what I did.
I called your office that day. Doc, you remember that.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
He's listening to you. Uh huh, Well okay, so you
called that office and what.
Speaker 8 (39:00):
And see, I asked him, did they do philical therapy.
They come to people houses and do physical therapy with
them because that's what the VA recommended. Once I got
got home, they were going to physical therapy. Yes, ma'am
man my house. And so I called the doctor and
asked him did they do that? And he did, They
do the philical therapy, but they don't come to the house.
(39:21):
And I was wondering ask him to have He talked
about maybe considering, you know, starting up you know, people houses, uh,
doing physical therapy.
Speaker 5 (39:30):
Okay, what's your procedures done?
Speaker 1 (39:34):
First, Gage, Maurice.
Speaker 4 (39:35):
Okay, Maurice, I'm asking him, and I asked him that question.
But let me tell you this, Maurice. I had to
do physical therapy and place I went they were fabulous. Okay, okay,
it's called but I will ask doctor Bible.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
It's called Pittman Pittman physical therapy.
Speaker 4 (39:52):
And they they were really I I really enjoyed them, Maurice,
I did.
Speaker 5 (39:57):
So you went out to their place some very Yeah.
Speaker 4 (39:59):
I went out to their place. Yeah, because I don't
think they didn't come to your home. But I went
out to their place. Nice facility. Matter of fact, they
have several facilities around the city, so.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
So looked them.
Speaker 4 (40:12):
I you know what, I don't know the closest one
in midtown. I have to look that up and I'll
let you know, Maurice. But I went to the one
in Germantown.
Speaker 8 (40:22):
Oh okay, okay, yeah, well for it so it don't
make no different to Okay, Well check.
Speaker 4 (40:27):
It out, Pittman. Remember that name, Thank you Bell, Thank you, Maurice, Bye.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
Bye bye bye.
Speaker 4 (40:34):
Okay, Doctor bobber, I know you couldn't hear, Maurice, but
he said that he had had some back procedures done.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
He had the disc was pensing the nerve or something.
Speaker 4 (40:45):
Anyway, the VA did it, and he said he called
your office because the VA then recommended that he have
physical therapy. And he said, you al were so nice.
He called his office, but you al said you didn't
do come to your home to.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
Do physical therapy. You did it at the office.
Speaker 4 (41:03):
And so he said, can you consider sometime doctor Bob.
I told ma Res, how did doctor Bobby busy? He
can't be coming to the houses.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
Oh that was you.
Speaker 5 (41:15):
I can't remember that all right, but I did.
Speaker 1 (41:17):
But I did tell him who you recommended me?
Speaker 4 (41:20):
That I did when I went to physical theory was
Pittman and they were very good.
Speaker 5 (41:25):
Yeah, they are, they are, they are, and you know,
and and and and the one thing that I tell everybody,
I'm in no competition with anyone. H At the end
of the day, We're here to serve and to try
to put everyone in the best place possible. And I
love finding good other you know, practitioners. People have called
me all the time and if I know any dermatologists
(41:46):
or diatrists or or just different providers, and uh, you know,
and again, uh, I try my best to give my best,
you know, recommendation as much as possible. And again, one
thing I love about you, Bell is you always have
very good, high quality, you know people on your show.
(42:06):
And again I know some of them personally, and I
just love being able to have a good core of
people that I know that I can count on, that
can recommend. And so I always tell everybody I may
not be the smartest person, but I definitely know how
to go out and try to find some good information.
So for you know, any of the listeners out there
(42:29):
that you know that may have had a surgery or
may have had, you know, something to happen to maybe
one of their family members and they just need a
second opinion of someone just take a look at something.
You know. That's what we are here for, you know.
I'm I mean, I'm here to serve the community, you know,
and like I tell everybody, I'm you know, God has
blessed me. I'm in a very good place, uh in
(42:50):
my life, and I just love just giving back. I
got the most you know, awesomest church. Uh came Free
Church is where I started out at and uh, you
know again, they just taught me some good fundamental personals
in life. And I just try to you know, pass
it forward and just try to encourage all the young
people you know, to just keep you know, to just
(43:12):
to have a purpose in life. You know, everything isn't all,
you know, always about money, you know. You know that's
saying they always say, is keep on living. You know.
One day we're all going to get older and we're
all going to need someone to take care of us
or someone to you know, just to just help us out.
And that's kind of how I feel right now, Like
as I'm training these young doctors that are around me,
(43:36):
you know, one day they're going to be taking care
of me, you know, and uh, and I just smile
and I can't laugh. So, uh, again, if there's anything
that we can do for you, or anything that maybe
somebody has ran across you or you know, I have
people that you know, text me and email me their
MRIs and they'll just ask me. You know, you know
what do I think? There's so many different variables and
(43:56):
factors to so many different things. You know, I tell somebody,
if if you're five hundred pounds and you're trying to
lose weight, your journey is going to be totally different
from someone who is two hundred pounds trying to lose weight,
you know, financial, the same thing. So there's so many
different variables. So that's why I like to do one
on one you know, care with people. I mean, of
(44:17):
course I love giving good general advice in general, you know, uh,
you know, questions to be answered. But again, I think
everyone's body is different, you know. So again, you know,
you you know, call us at our office and you
know we can set up a time to just sit
down and have some one on one time with you.
Speaker 4 (44:36):
Sounds good, doctor, Bobby, good advice. And I won't just
say yeah and I tell ma, rees thank you, because
I told doctor Bobby after my osto Peter says, well,
you know, you need a little physical therapy. And I
have been trying to call him and I told doctor Bobby.
Doctor Bobby got called him and got him on the line.
I'm going like, what so, doctor Bobby, I thank you
(44:57):
for that.
Speaker 1 (44:57):
You you you it was Johnny on the spot.
Speaker 5 (45:00):
You're gonna say, that's right, that's right, that's right. We're
not going to have nobody waiting in pain. And you
know what, Bell and I do apologize. I want to
say to all the veterans out there, happy, happy belated
Veterans Day, thank you so much for your service and
all that you do. I have a lot of family members,
(45:20):
especially on my mother's side, uh, that served in the military.
Yesterday we had so many veterans came to the office,
uh and they were such a blessing, just telling me
all kinds of stories about how things were in the
military and some of the things that they used to do.
And it's just so crazy how their memories are so good,
(45:42):
and uh, you know, just certain things that just remember
so well. They had a very strong bond with a
lot of those, you know, people in those troops, and
I just want to say again thank you so much
for your service. We also offer a very special service
for all the veterans. We are a provider for the veterans.
All they have to do is go to their to
(46:04):
the VA, speak with their social worker and tell them
that you want to come to James Chiropractice to see
doctor Myers. If they will send a referral over to
our office. Generally they do it within two to three
days and that allows you to be able to have
all the services that we have in the office. And
again we have from laser therapies, we have from electrical
(46:27):
muscle stem we have from decompression. We also offer stretches,
we offer just aj justtion. We have a whole variety
of different types and styles of massages. And again that's
at the Cordova office and also with the white Haven office.
So again to all the veterans out there, please contact
them and let them know that you want to come
and see Dr Myers at James Chiropractice.
Speaker 1 (46:50):
Sounds good, Doctor Bobby.
Speaker 4 (46:52):
Give us your telephone number again so they'll know where
to call.
Speaker 5 (46:57):
It's seventy five two eight eight eight three. That's seventy
five two eight eight A three and that number actually
goes to both offices, so if you press one, that
number will take you to the Cordova office where we're
located at today, or you can even call the white
Haven office which is the same number and press option
(47:19):
number two and we'll be there on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
And just as a reminder, we will be open this Saturday,
which Saturday the fifteenth. We'll be open from nine to

Speaker 4 (01:05):
Good afternoon and welcome back to the second half of
the Bev Johnson Show. Here at wd I A we
are rocking and rolling on this Wednesday, November twelve, twenty
twenty five. Enjoyed this fabulous day to day. As I
said earlier back in the saddle our Cairo practor from
(01:28):
James Cairo Practic, Doctor Bobby Myers.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Good afternoon, doctor Bobby Myers. How are you, brother?
Speaker 5 (01:36):
Hey, I'm doing wonderful bail. Today is a beautiful day, beil.
It's a beautiful day.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
It is a beautiful day, doctor Bobby, my kind of day,
you know.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
Just waking up this morning. You know, you know, we
we started something kind of new at James Chiropractic, which
is kind of really cool and can't take full credit
for the idea, but we did what you call a
grateful board and what we so the idea came about
(02:09):
that there's more people that commit suicide or depressed lonely,
just a whole lot of mixed you know, feelings and
memories around this time of the year. And so with
that being said, uh, we we know that there's a
lot of things that we can talk about that we
wish that was better or greater. Uh, But at the
(02:31):
same time, we still have so many things to be
thankful for. And that's the one lesson that I try
to teach my staff and what I'm doing training is
our job is to you know, not only to help
to heal, but to also you know, congratulate them on
where we are now and and just in all of
(02:54):
our efforts, you know that we're really trying to do. So,
we have a grateful board and so we usually ask
patients when they walk in, what are you thankful for?
And again, everybody has a different you know, you know,
different things that they're thankful for, and they write it
over the sheet of paper and we tack it on
the board. And you'll be surprised on how many people
(03:14):
that walk by that board, that reads that board and
they think about those things and it push them more
into a positive light. Just yesterday, I was blessed that
afternoon to talk to a patient that I was telling
you know them about the board and about what I
(03:34):
was asking for them to do for me. And she
started crying and she told me that she was very
suicidal and just told me just you know, some different
things that were going on inside of her life. And
she just told me that what I did for her
that day was one of the best things that that
(03:56):
I could have done for today and that she really
needed it. So something was to trendspot are at work
or at home or you know, at our job or
some kind of way, And that was just one of
those days. And so, you know, being you know, away
from family, you know, just different things going on. And
I always tell everybody you never know what's message going through.
(04:17):
And so I think that's one of the things about
myself is just always trying to look at the bright
side of things, always trying to be happy for what
we do have, trying to look at the gap the
glasses being half fools instead of have empty and just
looking at the bright side of things. So for all
of my patients out there, for all the people that
(04:39):
know me, they know my staff, this is my time
of the year for giving back. We had partnered with
Miss Odessa's Foster Care. We're donating jackets if anyone has
any old jackets, old clothes. Again, we have about thirty
to thirty three men and about six women. And it's
(05:00):
something that you know that that that I tell my
staff that I will do it by myself, but at
the same time, I also want to share and just
let others know what we're doing and if it's on
their heart and it's something that they can do. You know,
you'll never be surprised on some of the things that
you have at home that you may not even use anymore.
(05:21):
I know I have some clothes that I haven't worn
in four or five years and probably will never wear
them again for some apparent reason, and just being a
blessing to somebody else that does not have so at
my office. Again, it's just always just trying to teach
different things, you know, as we go throughout the day.
So we're going to be having our annual Thanksgiving luncheon.
(05:43):
It's going to be on that Wednesday, which is gonna
be next Wednesday, which is the nineteenth, at the Cordova office,
and then on that Thursday we're going to be having
it at the white Haven office. So again I try
to make sure that both offices get a chance to
show love and appreciation to all of the listeners and
just all my patients, all my friends, people haven't seen
a long time, and just you know, just people just
(06:06):
that just have done whatever they can do to just
support me and just tell others about what we're doing.
I just want to say thank you, and to you
also to be I'm just want to say thank you
for all that you do.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
You're welcome.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Now now, doctor Bobby, Now who is this said? You
said that you help out with clothes and stuff. What
is the place?
Speaker 5 (06:23):
Yes, it's called miss Odessa's Foster Care. It's over in
the LC lemarn On in College area.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Oh okay, yes, for your associate. You take me out
young people.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Or actually they are adults. Okay, they are adults. Uh.
And mainly between the sizes of you know, large and
extra large for most of the men. H and so
most of the women are probably more fatigue probably I'm
gonna say probably well anywhere between small and large. And
(06:57):
again just spell on some hard times and we've been
going over there. I've been sending my staff over there
kind of volunteering and just spending time with them, talking
to them. They have a young lady that volunteers to
do some to do some dental cleaning and dental work
and just you know, you just be surprised when we
(07:18):
come over there, their eyes just you know, light up.
I got some friends of mine that have just donated
some different fraternities that came over there to speak to
the men and just speaking to the women. And one
of the things that I will never forget what they
said was everybody has a choice, you know, and we
(07:38):
make choices every single day, and just remember that you
do have a choice, and you are valued. And so
no matter what's going on, I think a lot of times,
with the pressure that's going on in the world, sometimes
you know, it does get very hard. But having those
conversations with people to let them know that, you know,
(08:00):
these material things are very nice and great, but they
don't make us who we are, you know. And I
think that's where we kind of got a little bit
away from, is just being a very good person no
matter what's going on in your life. So I stress,
I stress and encourage everyone if you have a family member,
just reach out to them, call them, talk to them,
(08:21):
give them a hug. You'll be surprised on what what
you say that could really help someone else.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Good. Good, that's a good thing.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
I was thinking because doctor Bibot, I was looking the
other day.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
I have a bag full. So that's that's what I
was asking.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
No, thank you so much, you know, and again, you know,
I don't you know, I never want to be that
person to act that I'm trying to beg anybody or
I don't want anyone to do anything that they don't
want to do. All I say is, you know, there
is a place that is in need, and they would
just love I mean, I've even had patience that I've
(09:02):
even talked to them about what I'm doing. And some
of them are singers and entertainers. You know, they said, hey, listen,
I don't have any of this, but I can come
over there and sing to them. And I was like, listen,
they would love that, you know, you know, because you
know what the way that I was caught is giving
is giving, and you know, giving to someone maybe something else,
(09:23):
giving you know, something else to something else. So you know,
everyone has different talents. Whatever your talent is whatever you
can do to try to bless somebody else. You know,
I strongly encourage us to do it. So thank you, Bell.
I appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
You are so welcome.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
So yeah, I have a yeah, I do, I do.
I'm trying to get rid of you a lot of clothes, brother,
doctor Bobby.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
You do not want to know.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
Well, you know, I did want to say. You can
drop it off at our location, uh my court O
office which is eleven forty three Cully Road, that's here
in the Cordova location. Or you can drop it off
in my white Haven office which is forty seven zero
seven wood Ridge and that's right besides the Southland Mall
(10:16):
in between Bishop Burns. So we would love to have
your donations in any kind of way.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
See fit Okay, So other than that, doctor Bobby, as
we talk about our health, and I know you always
talk about our health, the weather has turned on us,
doctor Bobby.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
People had to turn on their heat.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
Yes, yes, yes, you know. We've been seeing a lot
of patients coming in with a lot of stiffness. I
will say that I think that a lot of things
that we got away with in the summertime, I think
are kind of showing up now in the winter time.
You know, one thing about myself is I'm trying to
(10:59):
get more sleep, and I can definitely tell that I'm
sleeping so much better in the winter time. But of
course with sleep comes laziness, and with that laziness you
can find yourself just not being as active. So this
is the time that most people start to gain weight
because they're not as active. We're watching more sports, we're
(11:24):
coming in the house a lot earlier, we got shorter daylight,
getting less sunshine. So again, this is that time to
start monitoring your weight, uh, to not let it catch
up with you, because we've got some good eating going
on right now.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Right, So so so what do you you you suggest?
Speaker 1 (11:44):
I know, we we we've changed.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Our clocks, so we fall back, so we get a
little extra hour of sleep. But you said, you see
you're seeing a lot of stiffness in the neck, in
the back. What's going on, doctor Bobby?
Speaker 5 (12:00):
You know, So one of the things that I've kind
of recommended is to get one of those fitbit or
get one of those kind of watches where you kind
of monitor your steps, just to try to make sure
you're trying to get anywhere between eight to ten thousand steps.
You know, if you have a job that you know
it's a stationary job where you're sitting down for a
long period of time trying to just get up. And
(12:23):
instead of you know, parking your car closed, parking your
car a little far away, just anytime that you can
get some type of activity and movement in. I strongly
suggest that, you know, something was kind of interesting. I
went to the cardiologist actually last week, and the cardiologist
said something to me that was kind of weird. And
what I mean by bat was, lately, when I've been flying,
(12:45):
I've been flying these long flights ten and twelve hours,
and I've been eating a lot of airplane food, and
so in my mind, I'm like, you know, I'm not
eating that many calories. You know, I was gaining between
eight to ten pounds while I was flying, you know,
over that weekend. And I said, eight to ten pounds,
(13:06):
that's a lot of weight for a three or four
day period. And so when I came back, I wanted
to talk to the cardiology, said, hey, I need somebody
to help, you know, help me understand what's really going on.
What's going on, And the cardiology started laughing at me,
and I said, you know, why are you laughing? And
he said that what you don't realize is when you
eat airplane food, there's three to four times as many
(13:30):
preservatives and sodium and the food. So the whole time
I'm thinking that I'm only eating a small portion of food,
I didn't realize that I'm having three to four times
the amount of sodium and the amount of preservatives that
I normally would eat. And that's what was causing me
(13:50):
to swell. And then after I get back, Yeah, and
then after I get back to you know, Myphis, it'll
take about three days and all of that water weight,
know that sodium would get out of me. But I
was flying so much, you know, two to three times
a month, that I did not realize that I was
taking in from her sodium. So for all the individuals
(14:11):
out there that are having a lot of joint stiffness,
a lot of problems, you know, waking up in the
morning feeling like their fingers are swelling, watch that sodium intake.
Because a lot of restaurants ound here are going through
some hard times and they're having to you know, store
(14:31):
that food and preserve that food for a longer period
of time, and so just got to be mindful of
what you used to eat. May didn't bother you, but
you're not knowing what they're doing to the foods, and
so you are consuming what you normally would consume and
just not realizing that you're consuming more sodium. So many
(14:52):
people out there that got you know, high blood pressure,
diabetes or different different elements. You know. Again, try to
do as natural as possible or as fresh foods as possible,
or better yet, just go to the grocery store and
cook and prepare your own.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Meals, because that is not good for you.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
A lot a lot of sodium, I know, doctor Bobby,
and tell me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
We need a little bit, but we don't we overdo
it right.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
Correct, correct, correct? A little sodium is okay, But again,
just not knowing exactly what other restaurants and people are
putting inside those foods is causing us to swell. They
have a lot of stiffness, especially around this time of
the year.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Okay, okay, and so the stiffness you said, the neck
in the back, and you can help with that.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
I know you have some things you do.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
Yeah, you know. The biggest thing is and again we're
strongly and I say this because most people they will
think of stiffness being associated with athletes, and you know,
athletes definitely need stretching in the proper you know, therapies.
But what's happening to us is is causing our posture
(16:13):
to change. So instead of standing up straight, you'll see
individuals starting to get kind of humped over. You'll start
seeing a lot more headaches, migraine headaches. And one of
the biggest things is our immune system is trying to
fight each and every day. Many people don't realize this,
but a lot of people are getting sick. They are
(16:34):
sneezing alive. The weather is changing, walking outside, that change
of temperature, you know, from being you know, you know,
from cold weather to you know, get into your car
and the car being hot, you know, having t shirts on,
not wearing hats, kids not wearing jackets. I mean, I
can go on and on. You know, I've been hearing
about some schools have been like closing down because so
(16:57):
many people are already getting sick. So the one thing
that we've been stressing, even inside of our office, is
just how to properly make sure that your immune system
stays as strong as possible, and of course you know
there's there's you know, there's numerous of vitamins that are
out there. Uh, there's an adjustment that we do in
the neck area, which is your C one C two,
(17:17):
which are the top two vertebrae. And if I adjust
those two areas, that vertebrae there controls your immune system.
So we've been doing a whole lot of that, and
again really just trying to stress the importance of drinking
water and staying properly stretched. Uh. Those are just those
are a few key components that you can do on
your own just to try to keep that immune system,
(17:39):
especially as we go through this this particular season.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
You know what, I am learning so much today, not
not I think for my first guest, I learned something today.
And now wait a minute, doctor Bobby, you telling me
your vertebrate A part of it works with your immune system.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
That's correct, That's correct, that's your.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
You say that before today?
Speaker 5 (18:07):
Yeah, So you know, when a person comes in and
you know what, and and again, most of the time
when someone comes in, I really just address the issues
that they came in for. And then there's sometimes some
when they'll come in they made tim if they had
a hard week, or they made timmy they had a
headache a couple of days ago, uh, or some different things.
(18:30):
But a lot of different problems come from in the
neck area. So when you see a chiropractor generally adjusting
the neck, typically they're checking your vertebrae. That's where your
headaches comes from. It's also your sinus and your immune system. Now,
a lot of people also get what you call a
pinch nerve into the neck where they may start having
(18:51):
that radiating pain that shoots down their arms, their shoulders,
and sometimes affects their hands. Some people get what you
call carporal tunnel syndrome as well, and that's also effected
in the lower part of the neck. But in that
upper part of the neck, that's where your headaches and
your sinus and your immune system, all three of those
are all met upper cervical area.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Oh wow, So.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
That's the reason why. So, so that's the reason why.
A lot of times I like to know how a
person sleeps when I look at when I look at
their neck, I'm looking to see if they've lost some
of the curvature in your neck. I'm looking to see.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (19:29):
Some people have been in a car accident and they
get whiplash.
Speaker 6 (19:33):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
And so instead of their head their necks sitting properly,
their neck may sit more with what we call an
anterior carriage, means that it sits more forward. And when
it sits more forward, it puts a lot of pressure
and stress and a lot of the trigger points starts
to come between the upper part of the cervical area
all the way down to the all the way down
(19:55):
to their traps. So individuals that do a lot of
overhead movements, such as barbers or beauticians and do a
lot with their they do they do a lot with
their arms in their hands. Our contractors they typically see
a lot of problems in their cervical area, which is
their neck, and they up part of their back.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
Okay, okay, I'm good. So that so that that that
spinal cord does a lot.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Oh, I mean it totally.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Yeah, yeah, tell me about it. It does a lot.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
Yeah, it does a lot. It does a lot in it.
And again you'll see individuals that have strokes or individuals
that uh and and that's that's another reason why you
want to make sure that that blood flow is there's
just no interference uh in the nerve flow or the
blood flow, because that area is so intricate, because it
goes to the brain and it also goes to all
(20:49):
the orders in your body.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
All right, hold on, doctor Bobby please, we will take
a break. We will continue our conversation with our Cairo

Speaker 2 (22:50):
Are you ready.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
You're listening to the Bev Johnson Show.
Speaker 6 (23:20):
Here's Bev Johnson.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
And we're talking with our Cairo practor, doctor Bobby Myers
from James Cairo Practic and Doctor Bobby. I had a
question for you from from Daphne and she wanted to know,
doctor Bobby, why are we seeing so much psiattica going on.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
I've never heard that before.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
It seems like now everywhere I go it's talking about
sciatica pain or neuropathy.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
Yeah. I think a lot of statica pain is typically
coming from more and more people working from home or
having more jobs that are sitting at a desk. I
think more people are traveling, more people are sitting down,
you know. I also think that the the benefits of
(24:16):
stretching just has not been stressed enough. One of the
things that we've been doing here is more of teaching
people how to stretch, whether it's with my staff or
with the massage therapist. I will say that these past months,
the two or three months, we have been extremely busy,
(24:39):
extremely and you're right, we're getting more satage issues probably
than any other issue. I'll probably say sadag issues is
number one, and I'm probably gonna say headaches will probably
be number two. Oh really, mm hmm, I will probably
say headaches. And again, I think a lot of it
is just stress that just accumulates and you kind of
(25:01):
feel like you're okay, I can deal with I can
deal with it, and it just keeps accumulating, accumulating, accumulating, right,
And uh, you know, for any of you all that
has had SADIC paying before, they you know, you know,
it's a nagging toothache, like it's just a nagging, nagging
you just can't get comfortable for anything, you can't do anything.
(25:24):
And uh, you know, so one of the things that
I that I you know, try my best to do,
you know what, you know, it's it's I think it's
more of really just trying to get more people to
be more proactive. I think a lot of the problems
we have are problems that we feel like or just
want to go away, or we feel like, you know,
(25:46):
it's just for you know, uh, a few minutes so
I can take this, you know, advil or this you know,
out in the open, and you know, and and and
again it may you know, damper it down just a
little bit, but the problem is still there. And then
when it comes back, it's even that much more. Uh,
And it just keeps going and keeps going, and then
before you know it, you know, you got a problem
(26:07):
like sciatica that probably could have got taken you know,
care of, you know, if you had to just address
it a little bit sooner.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
And I was thinking with the sciatica because and I'm
like Daphne, more and more people are dealing with sciatica.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
I know, I am.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
And it's it's just like and I think, doctor Bobby,
was it something that I did years years, years ago
that that now it's triggering because you get older.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
So because I don't hear, well, I don't, I don't know,
doctor Bobby. You can tell me, do young younger people
suffer with sciatica?
Speaker 5 (26:46):
You know what?
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Not?
Speaker 5 (26:48):
Typically typically you'll see you know, my runners guys that
do a lot of running. Uh, you'll see a lot
with my cyclists, you know, people that are sitting down
the cyclers. But those are pretty much the main individuals
that I see. You don't see it just you know,
very commonly or pretty much from a car accident where
(27:09):
maybe they fail, you know, from playing football, they fail
on their side, you know, some type of injury. I
guess I should say, but usually usually when someone is older,
typically it's not from an injury. Sometimes it's from just
poor posture. It can come from, you know, sitting on
a wallet. Now with my guys, that's the most common thing,
(27:32):
is sitting on a wallet. Ladies. Sometimes it's from wearing heels,
the lower back being very tired and you find yourself
kind of shifting me away from side to side, just
trying to take pressure off of that, you know, off
that hip. But again, prolong sitting is one of the
biggest biggest coming factors.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
Wow, okay, okay, I have this email and it is
please ask doctor Bobby what can I do or take
for the clicking sound. I have started to hear clicking sound,
so I don't know if she's talking about in her ear. Yeah,
I guess she's talking about her ears, and I don't
(28:15):
know if you deal with the ears.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
But she says, doctor Bobby, what can I do.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Or take for the clicking sound I have started to hear?
And oh, she said, Okay, so I'm looking at this degenerative.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Hostill writer's disease. Doctor Bobby, you know about that?
Speaker 5 (28:36):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (28:38):
So yeah, okay, So she has that at the first
and so she says, what can I do or take
for the clicking sound I have started to hear?
Speaker 5 (28:48):
Okay, So I want to say, I got to write,
So is the clicking sound in her ear or is
the clicking sound in her joints when she moves like
her neck or her body in a certain way.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Okay, that's a good question, So sister, I'll email me back.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Because she didn't say what was in her ears or
in her joints. So if you if you think so,
I don't know if you could dress either one.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
If it's in your joints, what.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
Yeah, So if it's so, if it's in the joints,
typically what you have is the cartilage in that area
sometimes has been kind of loose. I do see that
a lot of times when someone has been stretching or
they overstretch a particular you know area. Now, as far
(29:42):
as the clicking in the ear, I don't know much
about that. I just know that usually I would you know,
send them over to a ear nose and throat to
make sure the sinuses are fine. Or having my shoe gum.
I know sometimes when I'm flying on the airplane and
my ears pop, I try to chew gum, and that
(30:04):
typically helps to open that area up.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Mm so, And and you said again, if it's the joint.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
To it, it just you know, that's more like I
think that's kind of more normal. As far as like cocrepitis,
typically it's more like gas bubbles. It's more like the friction.
Uh So, the cartilage in that area typically is damaged.
We do what you call an ultrasound machine to try
(30:34):
to get the swelling out of those joints. So what
I would recommend is take your hand and stick your
hand into like a cup of ice water and let
it sit there just for about you know, five minutes.
Uh And that should decrease the joint swelling as well
(30:55):
as decrease the clicking.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
Okay, okay, okay, okay, good question. Thank you for emailing
us MS Pollard. Yeah, that was a good question here,
big and and and when you think about this, when
I think about this, doctor Bobby, as a chiropractor, you
you you you also deal with joints or basically, doctor Bobby,
(31:20):
let me ask you, because somebody is listening, or are
you basically when someone comes to the chiropractor, you're dealing
with that spinal area, your spine.
Speaker 5 (31:31):
I am. I am. So I think what kind of
makes me a little bit different from most chiropractors is
because I deal with a lot of sports. I've took
I've taken quite a few extra classes on extremities. So
I deal a lot with ankles, with knees, with shoulders,
(31:52):
with wrists, and dealing with sports. Of course, you know
a lot of athletes will you know, twist their ankles.
A lot of a lot of athletes, you know, get
a c l injuries. I get a lot of basketball
players and wrestlers with the shoulders, even lifting weights. You know,
sometimes you'll find someone lifting some weights and they may
(32:15):
hyper extend or they may actually overstretch a particular you know,
in the rotator cuff. You know, we get a lot
of individuals to get a lot of whiplash injuries. So
with that being said, I do a lot with the rehabs.
So any individuals may have had a surgery, uh, and
(32:36):
they may come to me just as a second opinion.
You know, we have a machine which is a laser
therapy machine which actually helps speeds up the healing time
when a person does have surgery. So it helps to
tighten those ligaments up. Uh, Because when that ligament has
been you know, sprained, you know a few times, it
(33:00):
becomes very loose. And so with that laser therapy, it
ties that ligament up, so it makes it a lot
more stronger. So it allows an athlete to be able
to run, to be able to cut, you know, to
make sudden movements to the left, to the right, and
it just makes them feel more confident about doing whatever
whatever moves they're trying to make.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
Okay, okay, I want to go back one of the
things that you said, doctor Bobby, when you're talking about
the spine and how it affects your immune system, does
when you do those adjustments, is that helping as well?
Speaker 5 (33:34):
Yes, So when we do the adjustments, many people don't
totally understand what all goes into the adjustment, but I'm
actually palpating the spine to see exactly which bones are
actually misaligned. So if the bone is already in this
proper position, then I'm not going to adjust that area.
(33:55):
And so you have to be able to feel the
spine to know exactly which vertebra needs to be moved. Now,
of course having an X ray will tell you more definitives,
but you want to pay. You want to exactly see
exactly what's going on so you can address that issue properly.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
Okay, So when you're doing their adjustment, and I know
you've done one on me, and.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
You've done several on me.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
But I was thinking that doctor, But I've been meaning
to ask you this, and I'm probably sure are some.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Of your patients.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
I don't know if they've ever asked you when you
been doing that clicking thing?
Speaker 1 (34:32):
What what what are you doing?
Speaker 5 (34:36):
So no, that's very good.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
People want to know.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
I'm sure some of your your your patient's been saying, oh,
have never asked.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
You what what is doctor Bobby doing with this clicking thing?
Speaker 6 (34:50):
Like a.
Speaker 5 (34:52):
Yes, So that clicking thing that I'm using it with
all an activator.
Speaker 4 (34:58):
Okay, so it's not a clicking it's active what do
you do with the activator?
Speaker 5 (35:06):
Yes, you know, so the activator is to not only
adjust the bones depending on where you position it at,
you can also use the activator to release trigger points.
And so, because I'm seeing, you know, roughly thirty forty
people a day, I used to go home with my
(35:29):
thumbs feeling so sore and so tired from just trying
to you know, mash out those trigger points and everyone.
And so I got the devices that activators that just
try to help save my body. You know. One of
the things that I like about the activator is it
(35:50):
allows me to do more people and to do them
more efficiently, and I can come home and kind of
save my body.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (35:57):
Technology is just changing so much. I've seen different kinds,
you know, and I'm always looking for some different gadgets
and different technology that will better help me, you know,
assist my patients. We have a we have a new
massage therapist that's working with us, and her name is
Miss Kenzie, and she is phenomenal. She was also a
(36:23):
massage instructor. She's been helping me out with education. You know,
education is a piece that I'm I'm just strongly big
into education. I feel like the more that we can
educate people, the better choices that they can make. So
anytime you can, you know, you can expand your team
(36:46):
with more educational base.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (36:48):
It just takes a lot of pressure off of me,
and so her and I work very very well together
as a team. So uh, I know, she goes home
with her fingers being very sore, and so I try
to do most of the activating with that device, and
it just loosens that person up. Now again, if a
(37:09):
person is very very sensitive and they're very very tight,
it is going to feel a little bit uncomfortable in
the very beginning because you know your body's going through
that change. But after they've been doing it for some time,
you know they already know, and those knots have already
been kind of broken up. The activator doesn't feel bad
at all. The only thing that I suggest is after
(37:31):
you get the activator, after you get the adjustment, I
always want my patients to drink plenty of water because
it is a good chance that you will be a
little sore, you know, after that, you know, after that visit.
Speaker 4 (37:43):
Oh okay, well, I'm glad you explained that to me,
because what does doctor Bibby doing this.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
This thing that.
Speaker 5 (37:53):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Yeah, I always ask you that.
Speaker 4 (37:57):
Hold on, doctor Bibber, I think I said, have someone called,
so hold on, let me see if I can get
this question. W w D I a have a question
for doctor Bobbin.
Speaker 8 (38:07):
Yes, how y'all doing down there today?
Speaker 1 (38:09):
Bell, We're doing fine. We're doing fine. How about you?
Speaker 8 (38:13):
I can't complain. I had wanted to ask the doctor.
I just had a back procedure. Doc, was my nerves
my disk was pinching my nerves or something like that.
But anyway, they went.
Speaker 5 (38:26):
In there at the VA. They went in there and
they straightened it out and everything. And I was staying
in the hospital about twenty four to forty eight hours.
You know.
Speaker 8 (38:33):
I came home about a day or two afterwards. And
before I left, they wanted to set me up with
some physical therapists. And they started calling out these people
now and these coming. I said, well hold on, just
hold up on that. I said, let me get back
with you on that. And so, Doc, what I did.
I called your office that day. Doc, you remember that.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
He's listening to you. Uh huh, Well okay, so you
called that office and what.
Speaker 8 (39:00):
And see, I asked him, did they do philical therapy.
They come to people houses and do physical therapy with
them because that's what the VA recommended. Once I got
got home, they were going to physical therapy. Yes, ma'am
man my house. And so I called the doctor and
asked him did they do that? And he did, They
do the philical therapy, but they don't come to the house.
(39:21):
And I was wondering ask him to have He talked
about maybe considering, you know, starting up you know, people houses, uh,
doing physical therapy.
Speaker 5 (39:30):
Okay, what's your procedures done?
Speaker 1 (39:34):
First, Gage, Maurice.
Speaker 4 (39:35):
Okay, Maurice, I'm asking him, and I asked him that question.
But let me tell you this, Maurice. I had to
do physical therapy and place I went they were fabulous. Okay, okay,
it's called but I will ask doctor Bible.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
It's called Pittman Pittman physical therapy.
Speaker 4 (39:52):
And they they were really I I really enjoyed them, Maurice,
I did.
Speaker 5 (39:57):
So you went out to their place some very Yeah.
Speaker 4 (39:59):
I went out to their place. Yeah, because I don't
think they didn't come to your home. But I went
out to their place. Nice facility. Matter of fact, they
have several facilities around the city, so.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
So looked them.
Speaker 4 (40:12):
I you know what, I don't know the closest one
in midtown. I have to look that up and I'll
let you know, Maurice. But I went to the one
in Germantown.
Speaker 8 (40:22):
Oh okay, okay, yeah, well for it so it don't
make no different to Okay, Well check.
Speaker 4 (40:27):
It out, Pittman. Remember that name, Thank you Bell, Thank you, Maurice, Bye.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
Bye bye bye.
Speaker 4 (40:34):
Okay, Doctor bobber, I know you couldn't hear, Maurice, but
he said that he had had some back procedures done.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
He had the disc was pensing the nerve or something.
Speaker 4 (40:45):
Anyway, the VA did it, and he said he called
your office because the VA then recommended that he have
physical therapy. And he said, you al were so nice.
He called his office, but you al said you didn't
do come to your home to.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
Do physical therapy. You did it at the office.
Speaker 4 (41:03):
And so he said, can you consider sometime doctor Bob.
I told ma Res, how did doctor Bobby busy? He
can't be coming to the houses.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
Oh that was you.
Speaker 5 (41:15):
I can't remember that all right, but I did.
Speaker 1 (41:17):
But I did tell him who you recommended me?
Speaker 4 (41:20):
That I did when I went to physical theory was
Pittman and they were very good.
Speaker 5 (41:25):
Yeah, they are, they are, they are, and you know,
and and and and the one thing that I tell everybody,
I'm in no competition with anyone. H At the end
of the day, We're here to serve and to try
to put everyone in the best place possible. And I
love finding good other you know, practitioners. People have called
me all the time and if I know any dermatologists
(41:46):
or diatrists or or just different providers, and uh, you know,
and again, uh, I try my best to give my best,
you know, recommendation as much as possible. And again, one
thing I love about you, Bell is you always have
very good, high quality, you know people on your show.
(42:06):
And again I know some of them personally, and I
just love being able to have a good core of
people that I know that I can count on, that
can recommend. And so I always tell everybody I may
not be the smartest person, but I definitely know how
to go out and try to find some good information.
So for you know, any of the listeners out there
(42:29):
that you know that may have had a surgery or
may have had, you know, something to happen to maybe
one of their family members and they just need a
second opinion of someone just take a look at something.
You know. That's what we are here for, you know.
I'm I mean, I'm here to serve the community, you know,
and like I tell everybody, I'm you know, God has
blessed me. I'm in a very good place, uh in
(42:50):
my life, and I just love just giving back. I
got the most you know, awesomest church. Uh came Free
Church is where I started out at and uh, you
know again, they just taught me some good fundamental personals
in life. And I just try to you know, pass
it forward and just try to encourage all the young
people you know, to just keep you know, to just
(43:12):
to have a purpose in life. You know, everything isn't all,
you know, always about money, you know. You know that's
saying they always say, is keep on living. You know.
One day we're all going to get older and we're
all going to need someone to take care of us
or someone to you know, just to just help us out.
And that's kind of how I feel right now, Like
as I'm training these young doctors that are around me,
(43:36):
you know, one day they're going to be taking care
of me, you know, and uh, and I just smile
and I can't laugh. So, uh, again, if there's anything
that we can do for you, or anything that maybe
somebody has ran across you or you know, I have
people that you know, text me and email me their
MRIs and they'll just ask me. You know, you know
what do I think? There's so many different variables and
(43:56):
factors to so many different things. You know, I tell somebody,
if if you're five hundred pounds and you're trying to
lose weight, your journey is going to be totally different
from someone who is two hundred pounds trying to lose weight,
you know, financial, the same thing. So there's so many
different variables. So that's why I like to do one
on one you know, care with people. I mean, of
(44:17):
course I love giving good general advice in general, you know, uh,
you know, questions to be answered. But again, I think
everyone's body is different, you know. So again, you know,
you you know, call us at our office and you
know we can set up a time to just sit
down and have some one on one time with you.
Speaker 4 (44:36):
Sounds good, doctor, Bobby, good advice. And I won't just
say yeah and I tell ma, rees thank you, because
I told doctor Bobby after my osto Peter says, well,
you know, you need a little physical therapy. And I
have been trying to call him and I told doctor Bobby.
Doctor Bobby got called him and got him on the line.
I'm going like, what so, doctor Bobby, I thank you
(44:57):
for that.
Speaker 1 (44:57):
You you you it was Johnny on the spot.
Speaker 5 (45:00):
You're gonna say, that's right, that's right, that's right. We're
not going to have nobody waiting in pain. And you
know what, Bell and I do apologize. I want to
say to all the veterans out there, happy, happy belated
Veterans Day, thank you so much for your service and
all that you do. I have a lot of family members,
(45:20):
especially on my mother's side, uh, that served in the military.
Yesterday we had so many veterans came to the office,
uh and they were such a blessing, just telling me
all kinds of stories about how things were in the
military and some of the things that they used to do.
And it's just so crazy how their memories are so good,
(45:42):
and uh, you know, just certain things that just remember
so well. They had a very strong bond with a
lot of those, you know, people in those troops, and
I just want to say again thank you so much
for your service. We also offer a very special service
for all the veterans. We are a provider for the veterans.
All they have to do is go to their to
(46:04):
the VA, speak with their social worker and tell them
that you want to come to James Chiropractice to see
doctor Myers. If they will send a referral over to
our office. Generally they do it within two to three
days and that allows you to be able to have
all the services that we have in the office. And
again we have from laser therapies, we have from electrical
(46:27):
muscle stem we have from decompression. We also offer stretches,

Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship.

To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
