Chiropractic Care in San Antonio, TX
Chiropractic care is health maintenance of the spinal column, discs, related nerves and bone geometry. It focuses on treating the causes of physical problems, rather than just the symptoms. At Pura Vida Chiropractic, Dr. Dan Foss uses over 300 chiropractic techniques including the advanced Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT) to restore proper spinal function.
With chiropractic adjustments, you give your body the best possible opportunity to prevent injury and return to a healthy state. Many patients report a feeling of release following an adjustment, along with significant decrease in headaches, back pain, neck pain, and overall improved well-being.
Dr. Foss's approach goes beyond pain relief — it's about restoring your body's innate ability to heal and function at its highest level.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a chiropractor actually do?
Chiropractors diagnose and treat musculoskeletal disorders — particularly those involving the spine, joints, and nervous system. The core intervention is the chiropractic adjustment: a precise, controlled force applied to a joint to restore proper motion and reduce nerve irritation. Dr. Foss uses over 300 chiropractic techniques, with Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT) as the primary approach because it's gentle, comprehensive, and addresses the whole body as an integrated unit.
What conditions can chiropractic care treat?
Dr. Foss treats 99+ distinct conditions — from common patterns like back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica, and disc problems to specialty areas like pregnancy chiropractic (Webster certified), pediatric care, TMJ, vertigo, fibromyalgia, auto accident injuries, and post-concussion syndrome. The complete list is at /en/conditions.
Is chiropractic care safe?
Yes — chiropractic care has a very strong safety record, particularly when delivered using gentle techniques like SOT rather than high-velocity manipulation. Adverse events are extremely rare. Dr. Foss screens for any contraindications (severe osteoporosis, certain disc patterns, vascular risk factors) before initiating care and selects technique based on each patient's age, condition, and tolerance.
How many chiropractic visits do I need?
Most conditions require an initial corrective phase of 8–20 visits, followed by tapered maintenance care. Acute issues often resolve in 4–8 visits; chronic conditions typically need 12–24 visits for stable resolution. Dr. Foss provides a clear treatment plan at the first visit and reassesses every 4–6 visits.
