Hello Ladies,

I am trying to find a good chiropractor. NOT A RACKEM CRACKEM one. I worked for a chiropractor back home for years so I know what I'm looking for. I need someone is going to spend more then 15 minutes for a visit. I need some serious adjustments and deep tissue masssage. I danced for years so my body has been through a lot. I carry all my stress in my neck and upper shoulders. Plus I just found out I'm pregnant with my second child and with a special condition I have in my lower back I'm going to be in a LOT OF PAIN for the last few months of the pregnancy. I'm going to need to be worked on at least a couple times a week until I give birth. PLEASE HELP. All the ones I've found out here so far don't do the deep tissue massage that I desperately need.

What can I do next?

Not sure where you are at in the DFW area. But...my chiropractor Dr. Cindy Hart is in Lewisville on Garden Ridge. They do the deep tissue massages and the adjustments. I'm usually there for about 45 minutes. Plus, she bills directly to insurance. I get a massage and insurance pays for it! Double plus.

Dr. Crisp is a wonderful chiropractor who specializes in pregnant patients. She helped me get through the last few months of my pregnancy. The pain went away after every visit with her. She also really cares about what she is doing and takes her time to talk with you. You can even bring your 2/12 yr old into her office and there are lots of toys to play with. Here is her website....

I too love Lifetime Family Wellness in Hurst. I was also a professional dancer for many years until I had my first child 3 years ago, so I have had some serious back and hip pain since having my two boys. Dr. Cindy has been awesome! I am now able to walk without stabbing pains in my hips.
Dr. Cindy is also a midwife and works with a lot of pregnant women, so she will definitely be able to help you.

I have been to MANY chiropracters over the past 20+ years (ever since high school when my parents made me go) and there are two that I think are very good that I have been to locally. Dr. Ken Cooper is in Bedford ###-###-#### and the gentleman that fills in for him is also super good Dr. Hill FLora ###-###-####. Dr. Flora's office waiting room is the easiest wait I have ever experienced. Both are patient, especially since I go with both my girls on occassion. I was a gymnast for 10 years, when I was younger and now teach group exercise classes and have a degree in exercise physiology....with this said, I injured my back in March, to the point that it was very difficult to just move. I went to the chiropracter a few times, but knew there was something more "muscular" that was wrong. I found a gal that is a movement specialist and she also does acupressure, myofacial release, etc. and within 1 week of going to her, I cound finally teach kickboxing without a single ounce of pain in my back...first time in 2 months I could move again. I HIGHLY recommend her. Some of the things she does I wonder how they are helping, but I never question what she has me do and I ALWAYS feel better afterwards. With this said, nothing she has done has ever hurt me either. I am so used to deep tissue massage that I have to bite my lip bc it hurts so bad. I am amazed at how this gal has helped me. If you would like her name and #, please email me privately as I am not sure if she would be comfortable with me posting her information. I actually canceled getting an MRI after going to her, my back felt that bad (that I needed an MRI to figure out why) and then that good (that I knew it wasn't a disc or other problem). My email is ____@____.com

Hi dear J., what I know off is that chiropractors they just make adjustments, and use a chiropractor now a days is being a little controversial, some say is not good for your bones cause it could end degenerating them, but I respect they profession, so you still can find one, in the flower mound area they are several but I dont remember names. For other side if you need a very nice deep tissue you can use a nice therapist that would be me, my name is M. and you can find me working on sundays from 2 to 5 pm, the price is $60 dollars for one hour, or $85 for hour and a half, I invite you to set an appointment with me and if you like my work as massage therapist you can keep seeing me whenever you need, Im trying to work on saturdays also but I haven't found a spot.
The number to set an appointment with me is ###-###-####
you just have to ask for appointment with M. Johnson, the place is called Institute of bodyworks (lewisville area) and is more Im willing to give you a sample massage that would be the clinician for 40 dollars that is not as deep but I could try to show some of my skills on you with this massage.
Note: chiropractor usually don't do massages, they send you to get a massage instead.
Note: 2: If you are pregnant you have to be very careful with massage, also if you are in advance stage you can not receive a very deep massage.
Bye Good luck.

Dr. Chiusano is a Chiropractor in Arlington TX and he is exactly what you are looking for. He is very sensitive at detecting the pressure points causing your pain. He uses a treatment style I haven't seen before which is that he combines therapeutic massage by a RMT with the Chiropractic treatment. He understands that adjustment does not necessarily mean you will get a cracking sound. He focuses on relieving pain and restoring function.

answers from Dallas on

I don't know how much formal training a chiropractor gets in massage so you may be better off with a massage therapist possibly in conjunction with a chiropractor as needed. You may find that the MT can loosen up your muscles enough to keep your spine in a proper alignment without having to have multiple adjustments. The other sad truth is that chiropractors probably don't have the time to give a 30 min massage. That is why many of them use the roller tables, moist heat and electrical stimulation. Based on your request I assume you have a spondylolisthesis which would also benefit from a comprehensive spinal stabilization program that a physical therapist could prescribe for you. Especially now that you're expecting stabilizing that segment is of utmost importance and the earlier you start the less painful your condition will be as your pregnancy progresses. Hope this helps. hd

Hi J.,
Welcome to Texas. I don't know where you are in the metroplex, but in the Fort Worth hospital district there is a great chiropractor who rents space in a wellness center. His name is Dr. Eric Horn. You can reach him by phone at ###-###-####.
I do not think you are going to find a chiropractor here who does massage. Texas is very strict about licensed massage therapy and the training hours are extensive. Dr. Horn does have a massage machine that he uses before each session. However, in the same space is a massage therapist, Hannah Reasoner. Her number is ###-###-####.
If you call either of them, please let them know I referred you. I use the same space and provide private yoga lessons, yoga therapy for children with special needs, and reiki.

Good luck!

Until recently, I too lived in CA and worked for a chiropractor who practiced NSA. If you're not familiar, you can look at: http://www.donaldepstein.com/nsa/network.shtml

With her care my body (specifically neck and shoulders--so I can relate) never felt better and I was, and still am an inch taller. I looked for Dr's in our area and found two that practice NSA:
