Our Experience...
We have been extremely fortunate to work under some of the country's top chiropractors.
Dr. Stephen Moe in Minneapolis helped tailor our "athletes and active lifestyle" practice
by showing us that an office geared towards healthy individuals and not chronic pain can
work.   For our externship (final schooling before becoming licensed), we went to Miami
Beach, Florida to work under Dr. Spencer Baron.  Dr. Baron is the team chiropractor for
the Miami Dolphins and Florida Marlins   In both clinics we learned advanced and cutting
edge techniques tailored to athletes and sports injuries.

Since moving to Corpus Christi and opening our clinic in August 2002, we have been
getting involved in the different athletic groups in the area.  We have given presentations
to groups like STARRS (South Texas Area Runners, Riders & Swimmers), Senior Friends,
Baptist Church Alive 65 Group as well as others.  Also we have been event sponsors for
many of the local races like BayFest, Island Duathlon, Bay-Ball basketball tournament,
Corpus Christi Triathlon, Beach to Bay, Wet & Wild Tri. and many other local events.  We
have also worked at Professional Wrestling Events & Extreme Fighting Championships.  
Nearly every weekend you can find us involved with some aspect of South Texas Local
events!
