Dr. Philip V. Cordova was born and raised in Glendale, Arizona (a suburb of Phoenix). He was involved in martial arts by the age of 8. Active in Kenpo Karate until about the age of 19, Dr. Cordova achieved his black belt and won multiple tournaments and trophies at various age levels.
After injuring his back at the age of 13, Dr. Cordova’s father took him to see a chiropractor. Dr. Cordova had no idea what a chiropractor did or even how this doctor could possible help him with his back pain. He just knew that his back hurt and it was stopping him from being able to do any physical activities.
After just a few treatments, Dr. Cordova was feeling better and able to resume normal activities. It was just a short time after that that he knew he wanted to be a chiropractor. He got his required pre-requisite classes and eventually headed off to Parker College of Chiropractic in Dallas, Texas.
Dr. Cordova, his wife and their 3 sons have loved Houston ever since moving here. They are excited to be a part of the community and the people they have met here. Dr. Cordova maintains his practice and is a regular speaker on health and wellness topics in the Houston area.

I was told it was “just a phase” I was going through. I would get pain and numbness that ran down my right leg every time I’d get on a bicycle. I just didn’t make sense! After an examination with a chiropractor, I understood the problem.
I received a few chiropractic adjustments and the pain was gone! I knew then that I wanted to touch the lives of others in this same way, so I set out to become a chiropractor.
I did my research of the different chiropractic colleges all over the country and finally settled on Parker College of Chiropractic in Dallas, Texas. Since graduating in January of 1997, I have adjusted newborns up to adults in their 90s! I enjoy the diversity of Houston and the array of cultures I am able to serve.
I met my husband in chiropractic college, we married the day after graduation! Dr. Philip Cordova and I have three energetic boys that keep us very busy. We keep them healthy and active with such activities as soccer, t-ball, swimming, gymnastics and entertain their brains at the zoo and Children’s museum.

Carrie Monzon is the chiropractic assistant for the doctors at CORE Chiropractic. She grew up in Houston, and is married with one son.
“I love chiropractic because it helps your body heal itself rather than relying on an outside substance to ‘fix you.’ I enjoy working at CORE Chiropractic because the doctors have such a good sense of humor.
We are always helping to make the office a happy place for our patients.”
In her spare time, Carrie enjoys exercising, being outdoors, being a part of prison ministry, and playing with her family.
