Pain Management
Physician in
The Woodlands, TX.

Yes. Chiropractic treatments are performed by licensed Doctors of Chiropractic with extensive training. At Prince Health, we use a combination of manual and instrument-assisted techniques tailored to your comfort and clinical needs.

This varies based on your condition, severity, and how your body responds. Many patients feel relief within a few sessions, while structural correction plans may span several weeks. We reassess regularly and adjust the plan based on measurable progress.

Most patients feel immediate relief after a chiropractic treatment. Some experience mild soreness similar to post-exercise muscle fatigue, which typically resolves within 24 hours. We discuss what to expect before every session.

Yes. Spinal adjustments influence the autonomic nervous system, helping shift your body from a sympathetic (fight-or-flight) state into a more balanced parasympathetic state. Many patients report improved sleep, lower anxiety, and better stress tolerance.

Many insurance plans include chiropractic coverage. We recommend contacting our office to verify your specific benefits before your first visit. The depth of our evaluation and multi-technique approach often produces results that reduce your overall healthcare costs.

We treat neck pain, low back pain, shoulder pain, migraines and headaches, vertigo, and POTS and dysautonomia. Our multi-technique approach means we can address a wider range of conditions than clinics that rely on a single adjustment method.

We use Activator Method, Active Release Technique (ART), Graston Technique, Cox Flexion-Distraction, and manual spinal adjustments. Each technique serves a different clinical purpose, and your treatment plan combines the methods best suited to your specific diagnosis and comfort level.

Red flags are findings that call for medical evaluation before any adjustment: loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness in the saddle area, fever alongside spine pain, progressive weakness in an arm or leg, or spine pain after significant trauma. Our chiropractors screen for these during your structural and neurological evaluation and refer you for medical care first when they appear. A practice that adjusts every patient without an exam is its own red flag.

No. Doctors of Chiropractic in Texas do not prescribe medication. What makes Prince Health different is that Dr. Joseph Perlman, MD, practices on the same team, so if your case calls for medical management alongside chiropractic care, it is handled under one roof on one chart instead of through a referral chain.

The vagus nerve is a major driver of your parasympathetic (rest-and-repair) state, and the upper cervical spine sits close to its pathway. Restoring alignment and easing tension in that region supports healthier autonomic balance, which is why many patients report calmer digestion, better sleep, and steadier stress tolerance during care. We frame this as support for nervous system function, not a cure for any specific disease.

Restoring joint motion and releasing chronic muscle tension supports normal local circulation in the tissues we treat, and patients often notice less stiffness and faster recovery. Chiropractic care is not a treatment for vascular disease; if your concern is cardiovascular, our medical team evaluates that separately.

Fees across Texas vary widely with the depth of the exam, the techniques used, and whether imaging is involved, so a single number is misleading. At Prince Health, new patients start with a $37 first visit that includes the consultation, a full examination, a digital nerve scan, and your first adjustment, so you know exactly what your case needs before committing to a care plan. Many insurance plans also include chiropractic benefits; we help you verify coverage before your first visit.

No treatment reverses the age-related disc and joint changes of cervical spondylosis, and a trustworthy chiropractor will tell you that plainly. What chiropractic care does well is restore motion in the segments that still move, reduce the muscle guarding and nerve irritation that drive most of the day-to-day pain, and slow functional decline. Our chiropractors combine gentle techniques suited to arthritic spines, and the on-site medical team evaluates cases that need imaging or co-management.

Usually because of the profession's history of overclaiming, and sometimes from an outdated picture of how modern evidence-based chiropractors practice. Current clinical guidelines recommend spinal manipulation for common problems like low back pain, and at Prince Health the chiropractors work on the same team as Dr. Joseph Perlman, MD, screen every patient for red flags before any adjustment, and refer out when a case calls for medical care. That is the standard any provider, medical or chiropractic, should be held to.
