Why San Antonio Providers Refer to Us
Specialized credentials, closed-loop communication, and rigorous documentation that supports your patient's care plan.

Full clinical care in English and Spanish — including detailed history, treatment plans, and patient education. Critical for serving San Antonio's Latino community.
Scope-Aware Practice
We refer back to the appropriate provider when chiropractic isn't the right answer — including for red flags, fractures, infections, or systemic disease requiring medical management.
Documentation Quality
Complete SOAP notes, narrative reports, imaging review, and outcome measures. Critical for PI cases, workers' comp coordination, and medical-legal review.
23+ Years Experience
Tens of thousands of patients treated across 3 continents. Former SORSI board member and international SOT instructor. Practicing in San Antonio since 2010.

Dr. Foss had torticollis himself in first grade at age 8 — his entire career started because a chiropractor resolved it. Pediatric care is not an add-on service. It's the heart of the practice.

For Healthcare Providers
PCPs · PTs · Neurologists · Dentists · ER Providers
Dr. Foss accepts referrals from medical providers across the San Antonio metro for cases where chiropractic, manual therapy, and cranial work add value to medical management.
Common PT Co-Management
Patients who plateau on PT, structural issues that require manipulation, and post-discharge maintenance. We coordinate directly with your PT plan.
Dental & TMJ Co-Management
TMJ dysfunction requires both occlusal and cranial-cervical management. SOT Craniopathy directly addresses the cranial component most TMJ protocols miss.
Post-Concussion Syndrome
Persistent post-concussive symptoms — headache, vertigo, cognitive fog, neck pain — often involve cranial dysfunction that responds to SOT cranial protocols.
Pediatric Referrals
Torticollis, plagiocephaly, recurrent ear infections, feeding difficulties, sensory processing concerns, ADHD-spectrum kids needing nervous-system support.
Chronic Pain Stuck Cases
Chronic low back pain, fibromyalgia, complex headache presentations, and patients who haven't responded to medical-only management.
Visceral / Functional
CMRT addresses GERD, functional GI issues, menstrual dysfunction, and adrenal-stress patterns through neurologic reflex work — complementary to medical management.
