Three hours on a metal bleacher.
If your back is the reason you leave at halftime, it is worth finding out why. We do non-surgical disc and nerve care in Conroe and The Woodlands.
- A sit-down consultation about what is actually happening
- A full exam
- Digital X-rays, taken in the building
- The doctor's report of findings, same visit
It is probably not the bleachers.
Pain that shows up after you have been sitting a while, then loosens once you stand and walk, is a pattern we see constantly. It is usually not a muscle you pulled reaching for the cooler.
More often it is pressure. A disc loses a little height, the space around it narrows, and a nerve root that runs down through the hip and leg ends up with less room than it needs. That is why it flares in a folding chair and eases on the walk to the car.
Pressure like that does not resolve on your schedule. It gets managed and worked around for months, sometimes years, until one morning it decides not to be worked around.
It could also be something else entirely. That is exactly what the exam is for.
One visit. Three things happen.
We listen
What hurts, when it started, what makes it worse, and everything you have already tried. This part is not a formality and it is not five minutes.
We look
A full physical exam and digital X-rays, taken here, same visit. You are not driving to an imaging center and waiting a week for a phone call.
We tell you
The doctor walks you through your own images and gives you a straight answer about whether we can help. If we cannot, we will say so and point you toward who can.
Two things you do not have to drive across town for.
Computerized spinal decompression
It gently separates the vertebrae to take pressure off a disc and the nerve root beside it. You lie on the table fully clothed and the computer does the work.
Used for herniated, bulging and inflamed discs, and for nerve pain that travels down a leg.
Deep-tissue laser therapy
Non-invasive, no downtime, and you walk out and go back to your day.
Used on shoulders, elbows, knees and jaws, and on the soft tissue that has not settled down on its own.
The part we did not write.
Dr. Audrey is an amazing chiropractor. She is knowledgeable in her field and assesses your pain and needs quickly creating a plan of action towards full healing. Krystal is in the front office coordinating schedules and all the administrative details. Coming to their clinic is always enjoyable. I walk out feeling much better and pain free.Dannette · Google review
I was always terrified to be seen by a Chiropractor but was instantly calmed by Dr. Audrey as she explains everything she's going to do before and during her treatment. Dr. Audrey is very thorough in her assessment, diagnosis and treatment. She has the ability to calm my nerves and ticklish nature. I no longer fear going to the Chiropractor and my body thanks me for it.Bonita · Google review

Start with the exam. Decide after that.
Thirty-nine dollars covers the consultation, the exam, digital X-rays and the doctor's report of findings, regularly one hundred seventy-eight. Nothing else is scheduled, sold or started until you have heard what we found and said yes to it.
Two clinics, about twenty minutes apart.
One on each side of The Woodlands. Pick the one you would actually drive to on a Tuesday.

The four questions we get most.
Do I need a referral?
No. Call or book online and come in.
What about insurance?
Bring your card and we will verify your benefits before anything starts, and tell you what your visit costs before you decide. Spinal decompression is cash pay across the industry, since no insurer covers it.
Is the exam going to hurt?
The exam is hands-on but gentle, and nothing happens without your say-so. If something is too tender to move, tell us and we work around it.
What if you cannot help me?
Then we tell you that on the first visit and point you to the right person. We would rather send you somewhere useful than put you on a plan that was never going to work.
