Our Approach

Chiropractic is a type of preventative care, maintenance for your body and nervous system. Chiropractic decreases nerve interference by correcting the vertebral subluxation which allows the body to perform optimally. This means the body will be better suited to handle the stresses of everyday life whether its physical, emotional, or chemical. The body's innate ability to keep your body healthy is improved. Health is more than the absence of disease. Health is living life to the fullest.
Fortunately, chiropractic does work for many conditions that are already present. Those conditions usually arise due to the presence of nerve interference, the vertebral subluxation. Vertebral subluxations limit your body's ability to express itself fully.. Your body is the best doctor for you, and your nervous system just requires that there is no interference in the process.
 

Clinical Approach
Each person has different needs in order to maintain or return to health. Some are in worse health than others when they present themselves in this office. Some people have more complicated subluxations than others. Each person's care incorporates the following aspects to varying degrees.

Subluxation Station - This state-of-the-art computerized outcome assessment tool allows for documentation of the vertebral subluxation. Inclinometry, paraspinal thermography and paraspinal surface EMG help to identify the vertebral subluxation. A copy of the results is provided for each person to show friends and family their progress. This is the first unit in South Texas and will raise the standard of Chiropractic care.

Structural Biomechanics - First we look to the spine, then to the feet. If the base is not level, the whole structure will be off. Extremity and cranial considerations are made as we consider the use on a daily basis. Reducing the vertebral subluxation and freeing nervous energy by adjusting the spine is foremost in the return to health.

Biochemical - Two areas of concern are the sub-clinical nutritional deficiencies and the homeopathic assistance. Nutrition plays an important role in the return to health. The nervous system may send the signals to the body, but if the building blocks are not present, good luck in completion. Homeopathy provides assistance to the body by allowing the body to hold an adjustment in spite of environmental and daily occurrences.

Body Memory - The body has memory. Muscles have memory. Cells have memory. In order to remove some of the programming of the past, physiologic changes must also occur. From the Eastern philosophies, body meridians are associated with certain emotions. For some, these emotions reduce the body's ability to adapt to stresses and to heal. Physiological changes may be necessary.

Exercise - There are two aspects of exercise, rehabilitative and fitness. Rehabilitation is usually required a few weeks to months into treatment. This increases the rate at which the body is able to overcome and to heal. Recommendations for fitness and performance enhancement to maintain your health can also be made.
