Structural chiropractic · Cypress, Texas
A closer look at
how you move.
Chiropractic care with attention to your spine, joints, posture, and everyday movement.
Discomfort can change how you sit at work, enjoy a walk, or keep up with family life. A chiropractic evaluation starts with understanding what you are experiencing and examining the relevant musculoskeletal findings.
Our chiropractic foundation
The starting point
Your concerns.
A careful examination.
An evaluation includes a discussion of your symptoms, relevant health history, and the activities affected. Dr. Hickman considers your spinal and musculoskeletal condition to determine whether chiropractic care fits your needs.
Depending on your concerns, the examination may include observations of posture, joint motion, and movement. Dr. Hickman explains which findings are relevant and what additional evaluation, if any, is appropriate.
Not every concern calls for an adjustment. Recommendations follow the examination and may include care in the practice, guidance for home, or referral to another healthcare professional.
What brings people in
Everyday movement.
Individual concerns.
These are reasons to discuss a chiropractic evaluation. Your examination determines whether care here is appropriate.
Joint stiffness & mobility
Talk through limitations that affect turning, reaching, walking, or other daily activities.
Posture & daily demands
Consider how your work setup, activities, and routines relate to your musculoskeletal concerns.
Gonstead chiropractic
A considered approach
to structural care.
Dr. Hickman has additional training in the Gonstead chiropractic technique.
He uses his chiropractic examination findings to guide recommendations for care. When an adjustment is appropriate, he explains the proposed technique and what you can expect before proceeding.
Care decisions take account of the individual’s health history, examination, age, and comfort. You are welcome to ask questions or discuss any concerns about an adjustment.
Questions about care
Know what
to expect.
Will I need X-rays?
On-site digital X-rays are available when clinically appropriate. Dr. Hickman will discuss whether imaging is indicated for your situation; it is not a requirement for every person.
Is care available for children?
The practice welcomes children and adults. A child’s evaluation and recommendations should reflect their age, health history, and chiropractic needs. Please call to discuss your child’s situation and what to expect.
How many visits will I need?
Recommendations depend on your examination and care goals. Ask Dr. Hickman how progress will be reviewed and when recommendations may change. The website cannot predict a number of visits or a particular outcome.
How does movement fit with chiropractic care?
When appropriate to your findings, selected exercises or activities may be discussed alongside chiropractic care. Learn about movement and the functional-health approach.
