CORE Chiropractic

These guys are great and I have nothing but great things to say about them. I came here after I hurt my neck. I could not move my neck in any direction and trying to move sent shooting pains through my neck and back. I came in for a free consultation with Dr. Wafer. After taking x-​rays, he confirmed this was something they could correct and proceeded to walk me through a very detailed plan to get me back to full strength. I like what I heard so I went ahead and prepaid for all 20 visits (nice cash discount, which I appreciated), I wasn’t going to mess around with this injury. 20 visits later, my neck is 100%…I am back to full motion and no pain. I couldn’t be happier with CORE.
The appointments were extremely efficient, which works great with a busy schedule. The girls at reception are fantastic and very helpful. They are very flexible with appointments. I plan to continue coming for monthly adjustments for no reason other than it’s healthy and feels great.

The staff here is extremely professional and friendly. I am on my second week of therapy and my «forever headache» seems to be slowly dissipating. I have high hopes for my chiropractor Dr. Siegmund to cure my headaches after months and months of neurologist, ENT, allergist, dentist, etc. visits. Here’s to the best! Thanks Core for being so wonderful!!! I highly recommend them!

I have had the BEST experience with CORE Chiropractic. I was on the crew team for four years in college, and did some damage to my body. I was in pain, having headaches every day– really not feeling good. I would need to wake up and pop three advil just to get going in the morning. When I started at CORE back in February, Dr. Natalie took the time to explain everything that was going on in my body, show me on the x-​rays, and walk me through the plan to help me feel better. After working with Dr. Natalie for a few weeks, I started to notice a difference! No more headaches, way less tension– I’m feeling like myself again! CORE has made a big difference in my overall health and quality of life. Thank you!

I decide to go to CORE after having ongoing lower back pain and regular headaches/​migraines. I have never been to a chiropractor and was a bit nervous about the whole process. Luckily for me I was booked with Dr. Riley who is wonderful. Not only is she a great doctor but she is amazing person. She was helped resolve my back pain issues and still find it astonishing how my headaches have dramatically decreased. Dr. Riley has converted me to the benefits of chiropractors. I highly recommend give get a try. The whole team at CORE are great!

Dr. Riley is amazing! At 8 months pregnant I experienced debilitating pelvic girdle pain. I could barely walk. I went from working out regularly throughout my pregnancy to barely being able to get up and down the stairs in my town home.
I called Core Chiropractic and was able to get an appointment quickly. The ladies working the front desk are friendly and pleasant. I did not have to undergo X-​rays since I am pregnant.
Dr. Riley is a pleasant and caring doctor. She adjusted my pelvis but also did some myofascial release techniques on my lower back. She also would have me lay on foam blocks for 5 – 10 minutes after to reinforce the adjustment and also used tape to hold the adjustment. To be honest, the first 5 sessions I did not notice much of a difference. I was starting to lose hope with this condition but I am glad I kept on going. Starting with the sixth session, I noticed I could walk more and more. Now I am 9 months pregnant and can walk pretty good! My pelvis is nowhere near as rotated and I am not in excruciating pain anymore.
Thank you Dr. Riley!

I had never been to a chiropractor before. I am a highly skeptical person and kept seeing chiropractors claiming to cure everything under the sun. I don’t think so.
Anyhoo… over the years, my lower back and left hip had gotten more and more painful and tight. I was spending a good hour every morning with a heating pad just to try and loosen things up. I knew something had to give. So I decided to seek out a straightforward, non-«woo-woo» chiropractor to see if I could get some relief.
I am tickled pink to have found CORE Chiropractic and Dr. Kevin Wafer. During the initial consultation he answered my questions in a very straightforward manner and took a couple of x-​rays. When I went back for my second visit, the x-​rays showed very clearly why my left hip and lower back were so painful. Dr. Wafer laid out a treatment plan and assured me that he had seen great results in similar cases. So I set up my appointments and started getting adjustments.
I’m now down to the last few appointments and I am happy to report that I am totally pain free and have been for a few weeks now!
Some highlights of CORE:
* They have an excellent front desk staff — they are knowledgeable and friendly
* They’re tech-​savvy — you can easily set/​change appointments online
* They have a good class for new patients, and you get a DVD of exercises which will help you strengthen your back.
Overall, I’m very, very happy with my experience with CORE Chiropractic and definitely recommend them.

Dr. Rieley is the BEST!!! I highly recommend her because her genuine care has helped my back, and neck. I am a preschool teacher and leaning over, and standing all day has taken a toll on my physical and emotional health. Nonetheless, ever since I have been under Dr. Rieley’s care I haven’t had ANY pain and is the best way to relieve my sttess! In addition, I used to get headaches all the time due to stress but I don’t remember the last time I got a headache. I will be eternally grateful to Dr. RIELEY and Core Chiropractic!

Impressed!!! Came through town with a back issue. Dr Riley had me walking strong and feeling better in one session.
Although, upon reflection– the usual over sales of their service, in sited on X-​rays, told me how I am basically going to become crippled if I don’t come in for three treatments a week… for the rest of my given days.
Although, I did get lasting relief and 3 months later, I am a. not having any pain, and b. not crippled yet!

I’ve been seeing Dr. Wafer for a few weeks and I feel a lot better. He seems genuinely concerned about my pain and well-​being. My back feels much better than it did before I started coming. They’ve been very accommodating to my schedule and the location is convenient.

I’m a big fan of Dr. Wafer and the entire team at CORE. The initial consultation was very easy, and the website is fantastic! I was able to get an appointment on a Friday at the time I wanted a’l without having to pick up the phone. He did a great job of explaining everything up front as far as what to expect at each visit, as well as letting me what he expects from his patients. I’ve never had a doctor so that, and it made me feel like we were on the same page for treatment.
I am in the final stages of care, and I’m so relieved to be out of pain! I was born with hip dysplasia, and although I was treated as a child I have had issues with it my entire life. Since seeing Dr. Wafer, my discomfort has almost completely gone away.
Visits are always quick and easy, and I am usually seen early. I don’t think they have been late once!
The office is very nice, but not fussy. They just finished expanding, and everything looks great. I would definitely recommend CORE to anybody!

bought a special here from Unilocal for back pain. called them and ask what the special came with e.g. like x-​ray lady on the phone said yes. hoping they would actually have a scan on my back and neck. but when i got there came in there waited for a long time didn’t seem busy, doctor seem nice but didnt really help me solve my problem or give me more knowledge why i have next and back pains. all he did was crack my back and next and let me go my way. felt kinda ripped off hoping to know more what’s going on with my back and next pains didn’t fulfill my expectation.

Meh, is right. I went to see Dr. Natalie Cordova. Though, I was impressed at my initial visit and hopeful for some relief, I quickly became discouraged.
I saw Dr. Natalie for 2 weeks (7 total adjustments). All the while, my pain continued and was even worst most days that I had an adjustment. I have since seen an orthopedist who has diagnosed me with a herniated disc. This is something Dr. Natalie had diagnosed as well, but everything she did seemed to make it worse. The orthopedist said that a chiropractor should never try to treat a herniated disc. With the force of the adjustments, my condition was made worse. Ugh.
I also felt as if there was no follow through in anything Dr. Natalie told me. «We’ll get you those excercises… I’ll pass you the name of a good massage therapist… We can have you in for an MRI as early as Monday…» But, as checking out, Dr. Natalie was nowhere to be seen and the front office staff never had any follow up with me after my adjustments other than scheduling my next appointment and collecting payment.
Though I don’t think Dr. Natalie was out to mislead me, I think her knowledge of how to treat my condition was limited and that she should NOT have taken me on as a chiropractic patient at my initial visit.
I am so glad that I did not pre pay for my entire treatment plan!
If you are having a simple achey back or neck or maybe dealing with some headaches, give Chiropractic a try. If you have a real injury, see a real doctor.

I came in for my post treatment after my first exam and I was extremely pleased. Dr. Wafer really was clear with everything he did before he did it. It was my first time every getting my back popped the way it did, but I was glad I was in the right hands. I would definitely recommend it to anyone!

Just an update. Because of a hectic work schedule, I had to stop seeing Dr. Cordova for about 6 months. Then I hurt my back playing ping pong (sad, I know), and after a few days of pretty intense pain, I made an appointment. The few days before I made the appointment, I could only sit at my office desk for about 15 minutes at a time before needing to stand up and stretch because of the pain. I was also taking pain medication on a regular basis. After the appointment at noon, I was able to sit for the rest of the afternoon without pain. I also stopped taking the pain medication that afternoon.
As usual, Dr. Cordova was so nice and welcoming. He never rushes me out the door and always takes the time to explain things to me. I had three appointments scheduled this week, but he said he could tell my back was getting better, so I did not need to come in for the third appointment, although I will still be continuing ongoing treatment. This just shows that he cares about you and not the money.
If you need a chiropractor, this is the only place you should go. Even if it’s not close to your home, IT IS WORTH THE DRIVE! My husband will start appointments at this practice next week and my sister will probably start soon as well. You know a place is really great if you’re willing to refer them to your family members.

I’ve never been to a chiropractor so I can’t review this as 5 stars since I dont have anything to compare it to, however I do want to applaud CORE Chiropractic for being so accommodating with working with me and being in a car accident. They usually don’t take car accident cases because they’re not your typical chiropractors that carry that stigma of being shady or money hungry (you know exactly what Im talking about, it’s the reason why I’ve never liked chiropractors in the first place and I even told my skepticism to Dr. Cordova about it)
Well Dr. Cordova was really professional about it and debunked my stigma about chiropractors informing me that they work with patients who are in real pain and have to face it every day. He showed me my xray, explained everything thoroughly about my neck, how the accident may have impacted it, my posture, etc. I really did not enjoy the last part of getting my neck cracked, always made me nervous but Dr. Cordova was always relaxed and joking after the fact.
I saw Dr. Kean when Dr. Cordova wasn’t in the office and he was great. He was all about feeling the bones and cracking them in the right places without even looking directly. I saw that he just looked away into space as he cracked me back into shape.
It’s never difficult to catch an appointment, depending on the time and da or at least I rarely had issues. It did become a pain when I had to schedule 3x a week though since it was recommended. Before 5PM is probably ideal just because you dont have to wait for other patients and deal with the nightmare traffic on 610.
Anyways great staff, nice clean office and they have a change of clothes for women who forget they have an appointment and wear skirts/​dresses (like me) to the appointment. I definitely recommend to others to check CORE out.

I’m a long-​time chiropractic patient, seeing as how I was diagnosed at age 10 with scoliosis. When I moved to Houston last year, I attempted to find a good chiropractor and failed miserably. The experience left me creeped out and reluctant to try again until I found Core through a friend.
Dr. Cordova was great and even gave me stretching tips to maximize my flexibility for running, which was cool. The offices are very nice, and the prices are extremely reasonable.
Definitely check out Core if you’re in the market for a new chiropractor!

I’m a clumsy lady. Two months before I have my baby, I decided to slip in the shower and I tweak my hip. I’m not sure what I did, but my midwife told me I should go see a chiropractor.
I found Core Chiropractic on Unilocal and I also saw them referred by another site. Initially, I saw Dr. Kean. He adjusted my hips and pelvis. I’ve been there at least seven times to maintain my back and hips. For my last visit, I saw Dr. Cordova. He was great as well. He adjusted my neck and back and I felt great afterwards.
Core helped me maintain my wellness and eased my pain during the last two months of my pregnancy. I was never kept waiting and my treatments were straight forward. I was aways able to get an appointment with ease. They had a special table for pregnant women and know how to adjust pregnant women.

Chiropractor — One who cracks your bones whether your pain is due to stress, injury, hypochondria, etc…
I had a crick in my neck for DAYS. I got it from «accidentally» falling asleep on the couch and a peculiar position. Beer may or may not have been involved. My plan was:
plan A) go to Texas Chiropractic College and let a student crack me up. They charge $ 100 some odd dollars for the initial exam, plus $ 5 or so for the actual «procedure».
plan B) check out my options on Unilocal.
I found Core through Unilocal,they had 2 reviews both 5 star but even better… their special was listed as, «mention Unilocal and get the initial consultation, exam, and X-​RAYS for $ 20.» X-​rays too. That’s crazy talk.
Their website was super easy to use. I called on Thursday but they have goofy office hours and weren’t open when I called. BUT, on the website, without having to have a user name or anything and with one click of the button I set an appointment for 10:30 Friday morning. Whatever program they are using should be bought by EVERY single dr’s office in this city.
I walked in at 10:25 and the receptionist said, «you must be Mrs. Blair». After having filled out the obligatory, and thankfully minimal paperwork I was in the exam room with the wonderful and personable Dr. Cordova. (I am talking about the male Dr. Cordova, not the female by-​the-​way.) He asked me extensive, probing questions and decided that x-​rays that were not necessary. We bonded over the punk rock band The Descendants and All. Then we switched rooms and he proceeded to crack my bones.
This was my first time to visit a chiropractor. The bone cracking part was interesting. The neck cracking part is super startling. After I was all cracked up he put some electrodes on my back.
My entire experience was quick and pleasant. When I was done I went to the receptionist to check out. My bill was very low. It was worth every penny. I never thought I would be the type of person who would see a chiropractor, but I am so glad I did.
My neck feels much better, thanks for asking.

Firstly, I’ve only previously been to a Chiropractor for temporary relief (read: can’t compare this specific specialty to many other in the same field)
However, after moving around a bit and becoming one of those adult people that are supposed to make decisions I’ve had my share of office that don’t communicate, don’t know which way is up, are too concerned with keeping such a crowded waiting room that making an appointment not only made me feel stupid but like it was a complete joke…
And I’ve come to write my precious Unilocal!review because of just that (mental note: review a couple of other previous experiences in the world of health)
I’ll be a bit of a regular here for the next few months becuase I knew that it would be too good to be true that my stiff reoccurring stiff shoulder would be nothing — even the xrays were pretty obvious to me ;)
Accessible, prompt, friendly, informative, no sales pitch and clean… If you’re in the market, go check out CORE. Not only is the practice owned and operated by a Chiropractor but it’s pretty much a family business. Oh and patient education (aka buzzword preventative health care) they offer a course once a week on posture exercises (how many of your current health care providers do that?)

Fantastic place! Glad I found them — They made me feel whole again. Its been 6 weeks since I left California (and my chiropractor), so I really needed an adjustment. Did some research and decided to try Core Chiropractic. I met with Dr. Cordova and he did an intial exam on me, and yup — guess what: I was out of whack :) I already knew this, but the best part of his adjustment was that he got my muscles to relax, which in turn, makes the adjustment easier and hold much longer. He was very professional (as was the receptionist) and he was very thorough. He also focused on stretching out muscles that were very tight, and that helped a LOT. After the adjustment, they have this machine that basically gives you a shiatsu massage and helps you relax.
So, if you’re having neck pains, back pains, or joint issues, or just sit at a desk all day like me, go see them — you will get rid of your pain quickly and you’ll feel like the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz who got oil and can move without pain.
