Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1.  What services do you offer at your wellness clinic?

At Texas Spine and Joint Rehabiliation, we offer a wide range of holistic services to help improve your overall health and wellness. Our main services include:

• Chiropractic Care (spinal adjustments to relieve pain and improve mobility)

• Nutrition Counseling (personalized advice for a healthier diet)

• Stress Management (mind-body techniques to reduce stress)

2. How does chiropractic care help with back pain?

Chiropractic care focuses on adjusting misalignments in your spine, known as subluxations, which can cause pain, stiffness, and restricted mobility. By realigning the spine, we help relieve pressure on nerves, improve blood flow, and restore proper spinal function. This leads to reduced pain, improved flexibility, and faster recovery from injuries.

3. Will chiropractic treatment hurt?

Chiropractic care is typically painless and is tailored to your comfort level. Some patients might experience mild soreness or discomfort after an adjustment, especially if they are new to chiropractic care or have been in pain for a while. However, this sensation usually fades within a day or two. We always communicate with our patients to ensure a comfortable and effective treatment experience.

4. How long will it take to feel better with chiropractic treatment?

The time it takes to feel relief can vary depending on the severity of your condition. Some people feel immediate relief after the first treatment, while others may require several sessions to notice significant improvement. During your initial consultation, Dr. Daniel Pennell will assess your condition and create a personalized treatment plan that fits your specific needs and goals.

5. Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?

No, you don’t need a referral to see Dr. Daniel Pennell. Chiropractic care is direct access care, which means you can come in for a consultation and treatment without the need for a referral from a primary care physician. If additional medical care is needed, we’ll coordinate with your doctor to ensure you receive the best care possible.

6. What conditions can chiropractic care help treat?

Chiropractic care is effective for a variety of conditions, including:

• Back pain

• Neck pain

• Sciatica

• Headaches & migraines

• Sports injuries

• Whiplash & auto injuries

• Joint pain

• Muscle tension

• Postural imbalances

If you're experiencing chronic pain, stiffness, or discomfort, chiropractic care may be able to help you find relief.

7. Are chiropractic treatments safe?

Yes, chiropractic treatments are safe when performed by a licensed and experienced chiropractor. Dr. Daniel Pennell is fully trained and utilizes evidence-based techniques to ensure your safety and well-being. We will thoroughly assess your condition before starting any treatment and customize your care plan based on your needs.

8. Can chiropractic care help with stress and anxiety?

Yes! Chiropractic care can be highly beneficial for stress management. Misalignments in the spine can contribute to physical tension in your body, which can make stress and anxiety worse. By improving spinal function, chiropractic care can help reduce muscle tension, alleviate nerve pressure, and promote relaxation, leading to reduced stress and anxiety levels.

9. What is the difference between a chiropractor and a physical therapist?

While both chiropractors and physical therapists help with musculoskeletal pain and rehabilitation, their approaches differ:

• Chiropractors focus on spinal adjustments to correct misalignments (subluxations) that affect the nervous system, which can improve mobility and reduce pain.

• Physical Therapists focus on exercises, stretches, and physical rehabilitation techniques to improve strength, flexibility, and functional movement.

At our clinic, we often incorporate both chiropractic care and physical therapy techniques to provide a comprehensive treatment plan.
