Who We Treat

Chiropractic Care Built Around Your Life

Not all chiropractic patients are the same — and at MVMT Chiropractic, we’ve never pretended otherwise. A marathon runner’s body demands something different than a pregnant woman’s. A youth soccer player’s injury presents differently than a desk worker’s chronic neck pain. That’s why our treatment approach is always individualized: your care plan is built around who you are, how you move, and what you want to get back to.

Across our three Houston locations — River Oaks, Memorial, and the Heights — we serve patients from every walk of life, with the same commitment to evidence-based, results-driven care. Explore the patient communities we specialize in below and find the one that fits you best.

Athletes

Competitive athletes put extraordinary demands on their bodies — and when an injury sidelines them, every day of missed training counts. At MVMT Chiropractic, we work with athletes across all sports and competition levels to diagnose injuries accurately, treat them comprehensively, and guide a progressive return to full performance. We use shockwave therapy, MLS laser therapy, dry needling, and sport-specific rehabilitation programs to get athletes back faster — and keep them performing at their best between seasons.

Common conditions: sports injuries, rotator cuff injuries, back pain, neck pain, joint sprains, and muscle strains.

Runners

Houston has one of the most active running communities in the country — and MVMT Chiropractic is proud to be a part of it. We understand the culture, the training demands, and the specific injury patterns that runners face. From stress fractures and IT band syndrome to plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis, our team has treated it all. We don’t just get runners out of pain — we help them run stronger, more efficiently, and with greater resilience against future injury.

Common conditions: plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, shin splints, IT band syndrome, runner’s knee, and hip flexor strain.

Triathletes

Triathletes train across three disciplines simultaneously — swim, bike, and run — which means they face a uniquely complex injury and overuse profile. At MVMT Chiropractic, we understand the specific demands of triathlon training and racing, and we’re equipped to address injuries and imbalances across the entire kinetic chain. Whether you’re dealing with a cycling-related low back issue, a swimming shoulder problem, or a running-related tendinopathy, we build a treatment plan that keeps you moving toward race day.

Common conditions: rotator cuff tendinopathy, low back pain, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and knee overuse injuries.

Weight Lifters

Lifting heavy is a high-reward, high-demand activity — and the spine, shoulders, hips, and knees bear the brunt of it. At MVMT Chiropractic, we work with powerlifters, Olympic weightlifters, CrossFitters, and general strength athletes to address the injuries and movement dysfunctions that accumulate over years of heavy training. We focus not just on pain relief but on restoring movement quality, joint health, and the structural resilience needed to keep lifting for the long term.

Common conditions: low back pain, disc herniations, rotator cuff injuries, hip impingement, and wrist and elbow tendinopathy.

Expecting Moms

Pregnancy places extraordinary demands on the musculoskeletal system — shifting the center of gravity, loosening ligaments with relaxin, and placing increasing stress on the lumbar spine and pelvis. More than 50% of pregnant women experience back pain at some point during their pregnancy, and for many, it significantly impacts daily life. At MVMT Chiropractic, our providers are certified in the Webster Technique through the ICPA and use pregnancy-specific tables and techniques to provide safe, effective care at every stage of pregnancy — and postpartum recovery as well.

Common conditions: pregnancy-related low back pain, pelvic girdle pain, sciatica, round ligament pain, and postpartum neck and upper back pain.

Desk Workers (“Desk Jockeys”)

Sitting is the new smoking — and the chronic postural strain of desk work is responsible for a growing epidemic of neck pain, upper back tightness, low back pain, and headaches across Houston’s workforce. At MVMT Chiropractic, we see the effects of prolonged desk work every day: forward head posture, upper crossed syndrome, tight hip flexors, and weakened core muscles that leave the spine vulnerable. We treat the pain, correct the underlying postural drivers, and equip patients with the tools and exercises to protect themselves at work long-term.

Common conditions: neck pain, headaches, upper and lower back pain, and elbow tendinopathy from repetitive mouse and keyboard use.

Youth Sports Athletes

Young athletes are not small adults — their developing musculoskeletal systems have unique vulnerabilities, including growth plate injuries, apophyseal conditions, and overuse patterns that differ significantly from adult presentations. At MVMT Chiropractic, our providers are experienced in treating pediatric and adolescent sports injuries with age-appropriate, conservative care that keeps young athletes active and healthy without compromising their development. We see youth athletes from across the Houston area in sports including soccer, baseball, swimming, gymnastics, track, and more.

Common conditions: sports injuries, Osgood-Schlatter disease, Sever’s disease (heel apophysitis), back pain, and overuse injuries from early sport specialization.

Yoga Practitioners

Yoga is widely regarded as a health-promoting practice — and for most people, it is. But hypermobility, repetitive end-range loading, and certain postures can contribute to joint instability, disc stress, and soft-tissue injury, particularly in the cervical and lumbar spine, shoulders, and wrists. At MVMT Chiropractic, we work with yoga practitioners to address the injuries that arise from regular practice while supporting the mobility, body awareness, and breath work that make yoga such a powerful complement to chiropractic care.

Common conditions: neck pain, low back pain, wrist pain, shoulder impingement, and sacroiliac joint dysfunction.
