Alternative Healing Concepts

Dr. Chow is my angel! I live with chronic widespread pain and have been under chiropractic care for many many years. Dr. Chow is one of the few chiropractors on the planet who takes the time to truly work out all my kinks and then adjusts like no other! She has an incredibly strong knowledge of the body as a whole. which makes her treatments truly holistic. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Doris is one of the few chiropractors I’ve found in Austin who does more than the typical 5 minute adjustment for her patients.
Rather than just follow a treatment plan that is merely designed to meet a business plan (get as many patients in and out as possible in a day to make the most money possible) she takes plenty of time with each patient to make sure you get the most from your treatment.
It’s nice to have a chiropractor who does acupuncture, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, and other supportive therapies before you get adjusted. I find I get more out of my treatments and that the adjustments seem to «stick» better that way.
So, if you’re looking for a D.C. who takes their time and makes sure you get thorough care, go see Dr. Doris.

Dr. Chow-​Bui is one of the sweetest, kindest, most understanding practitioners of multiple approaches to wellness, including acupuncture, chiropractic adjustments, and physical therapy.
Her office is located in an old downtown house, and massage therapists rent the other rooms. The atmosphere is calming, soothing, and very professional. There is no cold lobby, no little kids to step over — worth an extra star in my book. I’m always greeted warmly and walked back to the her treatment room.
My specific complaints ranged from the common to the personal, but most importantly, she’s been successfully treating my migraine headaches, minor depression, and menstrual cramps. My reliance on Imitrex and other migraine drugs has decreased 95% since starting treatment — I’ve had only featherweight migraines, mere wisps of the former pain and terror. I think much of this had been a result of the spinal adjustments. She doesn’t take x-​rays in her office (maybe she could, I’m not sure), so the cost of an initial consultation is much less than in some sleazy shopping outlet Chiro insurance scam joint. And that’s the big difference. She genuinely cares about my long-​term health, and sessions are designed to address both chronic and acute complaints.
The best part? There’s no pain. Ok, sure, the needles sting a little bit when they first get placed, but it’s no worse than stabbing yourself while sewing or plucking eyebrow hairs. Actually, it hurts less than that. She’s got delicate but strong hands, because once the needles get removed (after about 20 minutes), she’s able to get my neck bones back into their happy, rightful place. I feel like I’ve had a workout, but the very best kind.
Her prices are fantastic, she doesn’t sucker anyone into paying for more treatments than they need (or want), and she has a good office schedule. She might not be the right person for everyone, but if you’re considering treatment for pains, physical or emotional, I highly recommend at least an initial meeting with Dr. Chow-​Bui.
