Over 40 million Americans are living with diabetes right now, and more than 1 in 4 of them have no idea they have it. That is a massive portion of the population, meaning it could easily be a neighbor, a coworker, or a family member.

Unmanaged blood sugar rarely go unnoticed forever. While it might start out silently, it eventually shows up through everyday symptoms that are easy to brush off as just stress or getting older. Constant fatigue that sleep will not fix, unexpected changes in weight, blurry vision, nerve pain, and minor cuts or wounds that take a long time to heal are all common signs that the body is struggling to manage its glucose levels.

The trickiest part about blood sugar issues is that many people feel perfectly fine on the outside until the underlying damage catches up with them.

Braxton Meeks, FNP-C, specializes in advanced diabetes management, working closely with patients to look at the whole picture rather than just writing a standard prescription refill. He helps patients understand their numbers, adjust their daily habits, and build a practical tailored plan.

That stubborn, tight knot in the shoulder or upper back usually has a specific medical name: a trigger point.

When a muscle group stays constantly locked or overworked, it forms a tight band of tissue that can cause a dull, radiating ache through the entire area. Too often, people try to handle these painful spots with endless stretching or daily doses of over-the-counter anti-inflammatories. While those methods might take the edge off for an hour or two, they never actually force the underlying knot to release.

That is why Braxton Meeks, FNP-C, utilizes targeted trigger point injections right here at The Segars Clinic.

The process is straightforward and takes only a few minutes during a standard office visit. Braxton locates the exact center of the muscle tension and places a localized treatment directly into the locked fibers. This immediately helps the tight band of muscle relax, shuts down the local inflammation, and restores normal blood flow to the tissue. Most patients experience a significant wave of relief and improved movement within 24 to 48 hours.

There is no reason to white-knuckle your way through constant muscle tension or rely on heavy daily medications just to get through the workday.

If you or someone you know is dealing with a stubborn spot that will not unlock, we encourage you to call for in office visit for treatment.

Some faces become a true staple in a small town, and Stacie Letson is absolutely one of them.

Stacie is a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) who has spent an incredible 30 years caring for patients right here at The Segars Clinic. She handles a vital range of care around the office, from patient intake and laboratory work to X-rays and acting as a dedicated patient advocate.

If you ask her what drove her into healthcare, she will tell you that nurses are the ones who step up to take care of those in need first. Even as a child, she knew she wanted to take care of people and help them. That passion never faded, and she constantly goes above and beyond to make sure her patients are cared for.

To Stacie, the clinic staff and the patients who walk through the door are just a big, extended family. Creating that close bond is her absolute favorite part of the job.

When she is off the clock, she loves spending her time chasing her grandbaby. If she is out grabbing a bite to eat locally, her absolute favorite spot in town is Cream and Sugar.

Stacie describes the team at Segars Clinic in three words: Trusted. Caring. Family-oriented. After 30 years of watching her serve this community, the clinic certainly agrees with her.

Melanoma May is almost over, but sun safety never really ends!

A medical statistic that catches a lot of people by surprise is how easily UV damage adds up. Having just five or more sunburns in your lifetime actually doubles your risk of developing melanoma. It doesn't take a lifetime of zero sunscreen to cause real damage. Just five bad burns, and honestly, it only takes one severe, sunburn early on to set you up for melanoma later in life.

The good news is that keeping your skin safe is incredibly simple. Daily sunscreen matters even on cloudy days. Wearing a hat when you are outside and finding some shade when the sun is at its strongest makes a massive difference. Truly, the best skincare routine in the world always starts with sun protection. Everything else is just secondary maintenance.

Elizabeth Thompson encourages everyone to keep a close watch on their skin year-round. It helps to use the buddy system at home to check those tricky spots you can't reach, like your scalp or your back. If you don't have a buddy to help search those hidden areas, Elizabeth is always happy to be your buddy and take a look for you. It is always best to get any questionable spots checked the moment you notice them.

While the clinic offers skin evaluations all year long, Elizabeth is conducting full-body skin assessments for a flat $75 cash pay rate through the end of the month. Standard insurance is also gladly accepted, with rates varying by plan.

As summer arrives here in Northeast Mississippi, the team wants to encourage the community to stay safe and wear your sunscreen!

Dr. Doodles officially pulled the X-ray files for this week's health update! 🦴

The team at Segars Clinic frequently runs into a common misconception when talking to patients about bone health. Many people assume that if their bones feel strong, their risk of an unexpected fracture is zero.

As it turns out, true bone strength is about much more than just a density score on a chart.

Our hormones act like a quiet protective shield for our skeletal framework. Estrogen plays a massive role in helping the body hold onto bone density. When those hormone levels begin to drop in our 30s and 40s, bones can lose their structural strength out of nowhere, even if someone stays highly active and feels completely fine on the outside.

Everyday factors like gut health, natural aging, and even certain routine medications also heavily impact how much calcium and vitamin D your body actually absorbs.

The great news is that a standard bone density test is not just about hunting for existing damage. It is a quick, completely painless screening designed to show patients exactly where their baseline stands today. This gives them a clear plan to protect their mobility long before an injury ever occurs.

Elizabeth Thompson handles these quick screenings , and It takes just a few minutes to get real, data so patients can start protecting their long-term wellness.

"Why am I still in pain if nothing is broken?"

When a knee, hip, or shoulder is constantly throbbing, a temporary pill bottle rarely gets to the bottom of the problem. Usually, the real culprit is deep inflammation locked right inside the joint.

Braxton Meeks, FNP-C, uses targeted joint injections to treat the swelling right where it is happening. This approach calms the inflammation fast and restores smooth movement without forcing patients to rely on heavy oral medications or jump straight into a surgery consultation.

If you or a loved one is ready to stop just masking a joint ache and start actually addressing it, the team at Segars Clinic is here to help.

Some people just have a way of making you feel like you are in good hands the second you meet them. Kensley Smith is absolutely one of those people.

Kensley is a Nurse Assistant and has been an essential part of the Segars team for three and a half years. She handles a little bit of everything around the office, from patient intake and drawing blood to managing X-rays. If you ask her about her role, she will tell you she loves being versatile. Whatever you need during your visit, she is right there to help make it happen.

Her favorite part of working at the clinic is the bond between the co-workers, the staff, and the patients. She says it best herself: we are like family here.

When she is off the clock, Kensley stays busy outdoors raising quail, ducks, and chickens. You can usually find her gardening, fishing, or hiking. If she is picking up a bite to eat or a treat locally, her absolute favorite spot is Cream & Sugar. For her, that classic Southern hospitality is the best thing about living and working in Northeast Mississippi.

She describes Segars Clinic in three words: Dependable. Diligent. Attentive. We definitely agree with her.

The clinic had a special visitor drop by the office this week to share a few updates from the track.

Austin Vaughn, a 17-year-old Burnsville native and NASCAR ARCA Menards Series driver, stopped in to visit the our team between his upcoming races. Austin took home the Rookie of the Year title last season, and The Segars Clinic is proud to be officially on board as a sponsor for his journey on the circuit.

Supporting Austin on a national stage is incredibly exciting, but the best part is simply getting behind a young person from our own backyard who is working hard and representing Tishomingo County so well. The entire clinic family is rooting for him this season.

Go support Austin and give him a follow at to keep up with his upcoming track schedule and race results. We are so proud of you Austin!

Melanoma doesn't have to just be in areas the sun touches. It can show up in places that have spent your entire life completely covered up, like the soles of your feet, under your fingernails, and deep in your scalp.

Because we don't think to look there, these hidden spots are the easiest to miss. That is why we highly recommend the buddy system.

Ask your spouse, a family member, or a friend to look at the areas you physically cannot see yourself. Have them part your hair to check your scalp, look behind your ears, and check the bottoms of your feet. If you notice a dark streak under a loved one's nail bed or a strange new spot in their hair, just point it out to them. Catching those hidden spots early is what matters most.

Of course, the absolute safest option is to have a professional team map your skin. Elizabeth Thompson is our resident DermaSensor specialist here in Iuka. She uses advanced, cell-level scanning technology to check all of those tricky, hidden surfaces so you don't have to guess or miss a thing.

For the rest of May, we are running full-body skin assessments for a flat $75 cash pay rate. We also accept standard insurance plans. Take a look at those hidden spots tonight, and if anything seems unusual, we are right here to give you answers.
