Mention chiropractic care and you probably think of back and neck pain. Chiropractic is really about a lifestyle change, whether it be eating healthily, exercising regularly or drinking more pure water. It’s not just an adjustment but a change in the way you think, feel, and act.

The chiropractic care you receive at the practice doesn’t involve twists or turns. Your adjustments are straightforward and will often yield a variety of terrific life-improving benefits:
- Increased reflexes
- Enhanced focus

Our Techniques
Gonstead
With this technique, we look at the system as an engineer. Think of it this way. Just as there are certain ways a building has to go up, there are specific ways the spine receives pressures as you’re walking. We look at a series of pressures: the C7-T1 is where you receive pressures from the cervical spine down to the T12-L1 which is the thoracolumbar juncture; that’s where you receive that pressure. The L5-S1 is where you receive the bottom pressure. Dr. Waters looks at that system through an engineering lens and fixes it accordingly to the pressure of the spine.
Applied Kinesiology (AK) Functional Neurology
This fascinating technique utilizes your brain and muscle to find out what’s going on with your system. A little bit of AK is used in that a muscle test is given. We may use a drop on a sacrum or Neuro Mechanical Impulse® Adjusting for those who don’t like to hear a popping sound. This type of instrument adjusting is often used on children and the elderly who might not need a more high-velocity adjustment.
Does Chiropractic Care Hurt?
Dr. Waters’s friendly and inviting manner always puts patients at ease. A self-described jeans-and-boots- wearing cowboy from Lubbock, he makes the environment at the practice as calm and inviting as possible. He’ll let you know that, if you hear a popping sound during an adjustment, it’s simply nitrous oxide leaving the joint. Rest assured that nothing’s breaking! Most of the time, his patients are adjusted face up so they can see and hear everything that’s going on.
