Your trusted source for Advanced Clinical Nutrition, Functional Medicine, Advanced Chiropractic Healthcare, and Neuromuscular Therapy in South Texas.

A Different Kind of Healthcare

Have you become frustrated with the typical quick chiropractic "crack"? Have you been handed yet another supplement, fad diet, or prescription medication? Are you at your wit's end because you've tried every other doctor out there, along with just as many approaches to solving your problem, with limited results, or with no results at all? We specialize in helping people who have not yet found their answer. We're able to get results and offer hope when every other healthcare practitioner has failed or has just given up on you.

A Different Kind of Integrative Medicine...
Do you feel like your current doctor is missing something? Is he or she starting to hint that it may be "all in your head"? Do you feel like you're not being taken seriously? Does your doctor say "all of your lab tests look normal" and yet you know something's not right? Do you leave the office with a prescription in hand without knowing exactly what it's for? Are you taking a lot of supplements, but not getting any better?

It's time for change.

A Different Kind of Chiropractic...
Do you suffer from Acute, Chronic, or Elusive Pain? Have you been taking aspirin or other NSAIDs or prescription painkillers for months or even years, and still have pain? Have you noticed that you've become a bit clumsy or uncoordinated? Have your children noticed that you don't play with them as often as you used to?...do they miss the "Real" you?...do YOU miss the "Real" you? Have your family or friends hinted that you've been a little cranky or distant lately?

Have you been told that you need carpal tunnel or back surgery, and just know that there's a better solution? Have you already had surgery but it hasn't solved the problem? Are you seeing a chiropractor who does the same few adjustments every time; nothing seems to be change, and you feel like you're wasting valuable time and money?

Sounds like it's time for something different.

We've designed an entire practice for two main groups of people:

Internal Medicine - for those who are getting "typical" results from typical modern medicine and who are looking for a logical, scientific alternative, but aren't sure where to turn or who to trust.
Neurological-based Chiropractic - for those in need of effective, realistic pain management, those looking for a competitive athletic edge, or for those who are simply looking to feel their best.

A Little Background...

The term physician comes from the Ancient Greek word physis , meaning "nature" or "natural". The term medicine is derived from the Latin words ars medicina, meaning "the art of healing".

The Greek physician Hippocrates is known as the "Father of Medicine". His methods and intellect transformed the practice of medicine in ancient Greece. He made revolutionary arguments, being among the first to say that "disease primarily resulted not from evil spirits or punishment, but from environmental factors, poor diet, and unhealthy lifestyle choices".

Unfortunately, Hippocrates and his wisdom are far removed from conventional modern medicine. Taking the Hippocratic Oath is not even required in most medical schools anymore (it was of us, however, and we take it very seriously).

Only now is the Hippocratic method making a return to its previous favored status; it is our hope that this continues, and our mission is to fully participate in such a movement, by offering compassionate holistic complementary health care for affordable compensation.

So here we meet; the doctors who will listen to You, the patient, who yearns for something more. You've come to the right place: a place where you can Expect Different.

Our website has four main sections, accessible through the tabs along the side:

New Patients: This section covers mostly information specific to our office, including intake forms, directions to our office, FAQs, and more.

Functional Diagnostic Medicine: This section is designed to help you understand that 1) it's NOT all in your head, 2) it's not as simple as a single disease (for example, you may have diabetes or a low thyroid, but that is only a part of an intricate web of body systems that have profound influence on each other, and 3) there IS help--and hope!

Advanced Chiropractic & Functional Neurology: This section was written to help you understand that 1) chiropractic care is about more than pain, 2) chiropractic care is about more than moving bones, and 3) that you should see results immediately after each visit, even if it takes a little while to achieve full recovery.

Neuromuscular Therapy: We've included a special Neuromuscular Therapy section to show that 1) medically-oriented massage therapy is half of the solution to chronic pain (not the full solution, but it IS a crucial part), that 2) it's NOT a luxury just for the elite, and 3) it doesn't have to hurt in order to heal.

What you won't find here is a bunch of fad diets, quick fixes, cheesy testimonials, sales pitches, multi-level marketing (MLM) products or services, unproven testing or treatment methods, ads, propaganda, or dogma.

We've done our best to provide pure information, and a source for real, scientific answers and relief.
