Your chiropractor will explain their findings and discuss a recommended treatment plan before beginning any care. Most first visits last 45 to 60 minutes.

How long does a typical chiropractic visit take at MVMT?

Follow-up treatment visits are typically 20 to 30 minutes. Your initial evaluation will take longer — usually 45 to 60 minutes. If you’re combining multiple modalities like chiropractic adjustments, dry needling, and laser therapy in a single visit, your appointment may run slightly longer.

What conditions does MVMT Chiropractic treat?

What services does MVMT Chiropractic offer?

Our services include chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression (IDD Therapy), MLS laser therapy, SoftWave shockwave therapy, dry needling, manual therapy, prenatal and postpartum care, therapeutic exercises, and professional-grade supplements.

Do I need to bring anything to my first appointment?

Please bring a valid photo ID, your insurance card, and any prior imaging you have (MRI, CT, or X-ray). If you are coming for a work injury or auto accident, bring relevant claim information as well. You can complete your new patient forms online in advance — ask our team when you schedule.

Can chiropractic care help me avoid surgery?

For many conditions, yes. Spinal decompression therapy has allowed 92% of surgical candidates in clinical studies to avoid surgery. Shockwave therapy has similarly strong evidence for tendon conditions. Our goal is always to exhaust conservative options before considering surgical referral — and we work with trusted specialists in Houston when surgery is genuinely indicated.

What is MVMT Chiropractic’s approach to care?

MVMT Chiropractic uses a three-phase approach: (1) Pain Relief — addressing acute symptoms quickly with the most appropriate treatment combination; (2) Return to Sport or Activity — a progressive, guided return to full function; and (3) Wellness and Performance Care — periodic maintenance and optimization for patients who want to stay at their best long-term. Your experience is non-negotiable at every phase.

Can I get chiropractic care while pregnant?

Yes. Our providers are specifically trained in prenatal chiropractic care, including the Webster Technique, and use pregnancy-specific tables and positioning to ensure comfort and safety at every stage. Learn more about our prenatal and postpartum care services.

Is chiropractic care safe?

Yes. Chiropractic care is one of the safest forms of healthcare for musculoskeletal conditions. Our providers thoroughly evaluate every patient before beginning treatment and select techniques appropriate for your individual condition, health history, and comfort level.

How many chiropractic visits will I need?

The number of visits depends on your condition, its severity, and your goals. Most patients in the pain relief phase visit 2 to 3 times per week for 2 to 4 weeks. Your chiropractor will discuss a recommended plan at your first appointment and adjust it as you progress.

What is spinal decompression and what conditions does it treat?

Spinal decompression uses gentle, computer-controlled traction to relieve pressure on compressed spinal discs and nerves. It is most effective for disc herniations, bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, facet syndrome, and neck and back pain with a disc component. MVMT Chiropractic uses the Accu-Spina IDD Therapy system for precise, level-specific decompression.

Does MVMT Chiropractic offer laser therapy?

Yes. MVMT Chiropractic uses the MLS® M6 and M7 Class IV laser systems — among the most advanced therapeutic laser technology available. MLS laser therapy is used to treat pain, inflammation, soft-tissue injuries, neuropathy, and to accelerate healing across a wide range of conditions.
