Is Commuting Literally a Pain in the Neck?

By Dr. Philip Cordova

At some point your life you likely have experienced sharp, shooting neck pain when you turn your head to do a blind spot check in your car. This is a problem. It’s even more problematic when you start avoiding doing these important safety checks because your pain is too severe. Before you have an accident, here’s what […]

From Doubter to True Believer: Stephanie’s Story

By Dr. Philip Cordova

“The first time I came in to see Doctor Cordova, he asked me what I thought about chiropractors, and I was kind of honest with him and I told him that I thought they were quacks. I thought that they would only fix you for a temporary time until you had to keep coming back […]

I can't recommend this chiropractor enough! The whole staff is very friendly and accommodating. The doctors are extremely knowledgeable and really care about your overall health, working with you to build healthy habits and posture.

Love Dr. Cordova (Philip)! He is efficient and provides immediate relief after being adjusted. They definitely will not waste your time. I highly recommend him and Core Chiropractic.

I have visited many chiropractors before, but this is a new level of care. They are not there to collect your money, but they truly want to correct whatever is causing you pain. Their care is apparent the first day you walk in for the consultation. Of all the places I have been before I have never had a consultation this thorough, to the point of x-rays. At first I was a bit skeptical, but after a few visits I saw why this was necessary. My back has never felt better. They also provide you great tools on strengthening and stretching your back to keep the alignment closer to where it needs to be, in the form of classes, online videos, and exercise charts. On top of it working and Core Chiropractic providing all these amazing tools, Dr. Cordova is amazing every visit. How he remembers the things I tell him is beyond me, but he makes you feel comfortable every time which makes the process a million time easier. I would recommend Core Chiropractic to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy chiropractor in the Houston area.

Had another great visit with DC Brandon Siegmund. He used his latest tool on me to loosen muscles in my back before adjustment. Feeling good after visit and looking forward to my next visit. DC Brandon spends time with his patients to understand their needs and not only helps during the visit adjustment but has given me specific exercises for home.

I usually don't like writing reviews but, because this environment is so warm and welcoming I feel need to share. I've been getting my adjustments here for about two years and I feel amazing after each visit. I just turned 63, but my body don't feel like a 63 year old. I know it's because of my regular visits to Core Chiropractic. The doctors are very knowledgable and attentive to your needs. Thank you, to the receptionists and doctors for their service of love and care for your patients.

I have been seeing Dr. Cordova for many years. His staff are always pleasant and it is very rare to have to wait until I am seen by him. My posture and my back are much improved and the team there checks up on me regularly to make sure I am progressing. I recommend them highly.

I’ve been to one of the fast food style offices for years. They do adjustments that gave temporary relief but if I didn’t keep stopping in it would just come back. Assumed it was just a chronic problem. I finally had a spell that was so bad I had trouble walking and so I went to core. Dr Siegmund took some ex rays and then met with the the whole team to consult on my therapy. Basically what was being done made sense but was exacerbating the issue. Within 10 days my back was better then it had been in 2-3 years. I’m sure it’s going to be a while to maximize the recovery but candidly I’ve made more progress in 3 weeks then I made in years at the subscription place. First suggestion go to a real chiropractors office for help. Don’t just go to a place that’s gonna run as many people across the table for a monthly fee. They can make the problem worse.

Extremely friendly welcoming office and staff. I was greatly impressed by the thoroughness of the initial exam and a clear plan for treatment on my second visit, including costs. No hidden fees here or any wondering about how many visits it’ll take to feel relief. I’m a month into treatment and everything is going according to plan. Dr. brown is fantastic.

Expertly trained, highly-skilled, knowledgeable, current with the latest information, personable and approachable, and a great, efficient staff. Oh, yeah, and effective individualized care plan has me feeling better than I have in months. What's not to love?

I have been seeing Dr. Cordova for over 5 years. I can honestly say not one issue or complaint. The entire experience has always been positive and educational. I have sciatica which can affect me at times in addition to scoliosis since my teens which causes my body to not be aligned properly. Dr. Cordova is empathetic, compassionate, knowledgeable, professional and I have always felt safe with him doing my SPINAL Alignments. He addresses the root of the problem and does not treat surface symptoms. A great listener and even confidante; all of this helps him determine the root causes. The staff is neat, professional, efficient and cordial. I have never had to wait over 7 minutes to get my room and done in 20 minutes or less. I don't get to see his wife (Team Mate) Dr. Natalie Cordova often, however she is analytical and cordial too. I feel they want to help me maintain these joints, bones, muscles, tendons, and all components of my body even mental health. I feel better every time I have come. If I could get alignments weekly I would. CORE'S prices are (good) manageable for those who may not have private insurance due to job lay off or need to pay out of pocket. I never had ridiculous claims on my insurance. They are not greedy for your money. Some perceive Chiro Doctors as "Quacks" however I know Dr. Cordova has my Back! I appreciate CORE. Dr. Cordova is into fitness, nutrition and uses a holistic approach to serve his clients. Love you Monique Lampkin

My son referred me to CORE Chiropractic at their St. James Place location, and I'm so happy he did. I'd put off addressing a nagging lower back pain issue for years. I've been seeing Dr. Siegmund, and I couldn't be happier. The office is incredibly efficient and very friendly. This is my fourth week as a patient, and I've had nine visits so far. The improvement in my lower back pain is amazing. I wish I hadn't put off visiting a chiropractor for so long. I'm very happy with the care Dr. Siegmund has given me, and the rest of the team at CORE Chiropractic couldn't be better. I'm a very satisfied patient.

I totally trust CORE Chiropractic to treat my (and my children's) chiropractic needs. I used to be nervous about seeing a chiropractor, but now, my entire family looks forward to every visit. The doctors are experienced, caring and extremely knowledgeable. They actually care about helping you and are attentive to your needs. The entire staff is always so professional and courteous, too. I highly recommend CORE Chiropractic and have done so for years to my friends, family, clients and neighbors. Everyone has had a positive experience every time.

Dr. Siegmund has been treating me for the past few months, and I really enjoy my visits and interactions with everyone in the office. The costs are affordable, the front desk employees are always nice, and the team of doctors makes you feel at ease that you're being taken care of. Would recommend to a friend.

I have never been to a chiropractor before. It’s been almost 2 weeks Since Dr. Brandon Siegmund has been helping me with a strong pain on my upper back.. also by his magical hands I believe that adjustment that he did to me in the first appointment helped me A LOT .. the stuff is so kind and the place is clean and organized too. I would definitely give them 5 stars and highly recommended Dr. Brandon Siegmund who is always ready to help with all of his knowledges. Even if you aren’t in pain, but still have to see CORE..

Because of my profession it is so important that I take care of my posture and health through regular adjustments. I am so happy with how trustworthy and well organized Core Chiropractor is, which makes it it easy for me to fit my regular adjustments into my busy schedule.

Really great place. They are professional but kind and I now feel a lot better! I couldn't really think of anything more I'd want from a chiropractor. And prices are pretty good. Recommended!!!

Not only is this Chiropractic clinic within walking distance from work, they are very great! They have fast service and all the chiropractors are friendly. My Chiropractor Dr. Siegmund was very thorough in describing my treatment plan step by step. The treatment plan is helping me get over my headaches and neck pain by taking a step by step process and following my treatment plan without medication which to me is a plus!

Dr. Kevin Wafer and receptionist Bailey, at the Energy Corridor location is AWESOME!! I came to my 1st appointment in pain. They made me feel comfortable, very patient with me, his consultation was understandable, & I left the 1st appointment feeling better. I have a lil journey ahead to complete wellness, but I am confident that these goals will be met with the Core Chiropractic team! You Rock! 💛❤

Arrived at Core Chiropractic feeling like something between a pretzel and crumpled aluminium foil. The Core Chiropractic team quickly assessed the situation and have me feeling like a human again. Highly recommend this professional team.

Morgan Moss

Hands down the best Chiropractic office in the Houston area. The entire office staff is extremely professional and helpful in scheduling around my busy schedule. The doctors took the time to take x-rays and assess my situation and listen to what pain I was experiencing. All of the doctors are great however, Dr. Seigmund is especially wonderful! I don't need to go into detail about where my pain is located and he will pinpoint the exact spot and adjust accordingly. He is precise and gentle. I trust him 110%. I cannot express enough gratitude to of found such a talented Chiropractor! Thank you!

This is an fantastic chiropractic group. Every single person from staff to Doctor make you feel welcome and genuinely want to help. I have been going for 2 months now and am practically pain free. As a resident physician who's on their feet a lot I was having some severe issues with my back. Dr. Siegmund and the Core team have gone above and beyond to alleviate my pain and give me long lasting results. The pricing is fair and they accept most major insurances. They are extremely flexible and will do whatever they can to accommodate your needs. I highly recommend this practice for all your chiropractic needs.

Sometimes it's really hard to find a Chiropractic clinic that you can trust and depend on. I've had my share of both good and not so good experiences. I booked my first visit about 30 minutes before and they welcomed me with open arms. The staff was fantastic and well trained. Dr. Siegmund was best in class. I suffer from 6 herniated discs and he took his time, asking all the important questions and didn't rush at all. I will definitely be back. Thanks!Tony

I've been a patient since 2015 following a health fair at work. Dr Siegmund has been great with preventative care treatment and has a way of drawing out "poor" behaviors that may negatively impact posture. Strongly recommend an initial consultation.

Dr. Siegmund is amazing! Explains exactly what is wrong with your back/anatomy and tells you the approach on how to fix it. My coccyx/tailbone was essentially facing the wrong way and was causing severe pain. Through treatment, pain has gone down considerably. Much better than what other doctors have done for me. Very professional. The receptionists are all the nicest you'll ever meet, they're always welcoming with smiles and are very easy to schedule or re-schedule with. Extremely accommodating overall.

Michelle Conchola

02:59 25 Jul 18

I highly recommend Core Chiropractic, specifically Dr. Siegmund. He is very patient, knowledgeable, and friendly!! I've gone to different chiropractors but this is the only one where I felt they took the time to walk me through my x-rays, offer a treatment plan, and educate me on what I should (and should not) be doing on a daily basis. The staff are all very nice as well and are flexible with my busy schedule. All in all I've had a very good experience!

Our daughter suffered from pain in her back and neck for over a year. It eventually progressed to numbness in her feet, and eventually up her legs. She is 14 and a competitive athlete. We spent a year sending her to physical therapy and various specialists. With a lack of answers and growing frustration, a friend recommended Dr. Siegmund at Core Chiropractic. Dr. Siegmund did both a physical exam and X-rays. He believed her issues were caused from a pinched nerve and misalignments in her back, neck and pelvis. In 4 weeks of treatment her numbness and pain were dissipating. She continues to progress nicely. As a parent I was nervous about her getting adjustments, but Dr Siegmund has been great, and she looks forward to the visits because she feels better. The office runs on time as well and we are often in and out in 30 minutes or less. We highly recommend Dr Siegmund and the staff at Core Chiropractic.

Best Chriopractic Place ever !!! I have been going to another chiropractic for over 4 months and I did not see any results. I switched to Core Chiropractic and it has been only 2 weeks of treatment and I already feel a lot better, have better posture and feel good. Definitely Recommended

I can’t appreciate enough the pain relief I have experienced under the care of Dr. Siegmund. An inevitable back surgery was looming when I made the initial appointment at Core...10 on the pain scale and limited mobility. (A 20+ year history of chronic lower back issues) A few weeks later, I can pick up the stuff I drop on the floor without thinking twice. How do you thank someone for that?!?! 5 stars really doesn’t do it justice.Being nearly pain free most days now, I’m excited to continue with chiropractic care under Dr. Siegmund. The entire staff is 10/10! So helpful and flexible - the entire team.

Of all my visits to Core Chiropractic I have never been disappointed. The staff is friendly, professional, flexible and truly care about the well-being of their patients. They even provide classes throughout the week to teach you how to take care of your spine and your body as a whole. My fiancé and I have seen so much improvement in our spinal health and it’s definitely because of Dr. Brown and the Core Chiropractic team.

Dr C is a super hero in his own right when it comes to fixing you up. I feel like a Million dollars after he adjusts me. I get a monthly adjustment and it keeps me young and agile. Been going for about 10 urs now.

Lauren Valentino

18:12 14 Apr 18

Dr. Siegmund is amazing! I just began treatment with him but I already feel better... He is patient, understanding and tolerates my occasional non-compliance due to my rigorous work schedule. I have seen an Orthopedic physician, massage therapist, acupuncturist and PT who has not helped my back pain as much as like Dr. Siegmund!😀

Gabriela Gamez

14:32 12 Apr 18

They where able to get me an appointment the same day I was in pain. Dr. Brown has helped me get back to work with no more back or hip pain that I have had for the past few months. They are really flexible appointment schedule to meet a busy schedule.

All of the staff are professional and friendly. Dr Brown is amazing! Not only do they adjust you, but they teach you how to change habits and do exercises to keep your back in alignment and minimize pain. They're also super flexible with their appointments and they have Saturday appointments available also!

I was having severe knee pain where it was painful to walk and I couldn’t sleep. Dr. Brown has been working on my knees and back and now I walk better and sleep better. Everyone at Core is so friendly and helpful! Thank you

I started going to this Chriopractor because I was in a car accident. I see Dr. Brown and he is great! He really takes the time to educate his patients and make sure they know exactly what is going on. I always feel good after leaving and I can feel my back and neck getting better. I started out going 3X a week and now I am down to 1X a week and wish I was still going more because I look forward to my appointments. I can feel such a difference after I go. I really recommend this office! The office staff is always polite and I want to also mention this care is actually affordable.

Brandon Siegmund is great. I went in with a shoulder injury and he was able to assist me in my rehab to the point where I no longer have pain in my shoulder. He went the extra mile by taking x-rays (on-site) to understand the underlying cause and determined a plan based on my individual needs.

My experience with CORE Chiropractic has been great. The staff are friendly and professional. They're accommodating and I like the capability of rescheduling through text.My chiropractor, Dr. Siegmund, is knowledgeable, patient and capable. He made sure I was comfortable and took time to explain to me the treatment, what's wrong, etc. He also advised me what I need to do for faster results. I am halfway to my treatment and so far I've felt positive changes.

The place is great. The staff is absolutely great.I've heard about Chiropractics just a month ago. Me and my wife wanted to straighten up our posture and treat a neck pain as well as back pain that happen time to time. Getting at core chiropractic turned out to be one of the best decisions we've made on this regard.As spine is a very important part of our body, I was a little worried about to just go to any doctor. And after a little research on Google I found Dr. Siegmund. Despite being comparatively young in this profession, he is absolutely recommended. Knowledgeable, knows what he is doing, gentle when needed, explaining, patient.

I came into CORE with high reservations as I’ve been extremely weary of chiropractic care from a prior experience at a retail type chain place (won’t mention name). For those of you who experience constant neck pain or body pain, you are willing to try anything to get rid of it. So I decided to give this place a chance due to recommendations from two coworkers who come here. This is the real deal y’all! This office is very professional and my Chiropractor, Dr. Siegmund, is very personable and takes his time in making sure all my questions/concerns are answered. I came in with a lot of neck and upper back tension. He gave me a thorough diagnosis and explained why I’ve been having reoccurring neck issues. They gave me a treatment plan and the mission is aimed to fix the root cause of your pain. The first visit is your examination and they do a full on X-Ray to see how your neck and spine looks. I’m a month and a half into my treatment plan and my neck tension is pretty much gone!

Ryan Nelson

I had some serious neck pain that started moving to my mid-back after about a week so I decided to try something different. I called CORE Chiropractic after reading the good reviews and made an appointment. From my initial consultation to the final visit in the program that was set up for my treatment, Dr. Brown was excellent and made sure that I was not only getting the proper treatment while at the office but that I was staying on top of my exercises at home to build strength and keep my spine in place. The office was always clean and organized as well. I would highly recommend this place and Dr. Brown to anyone questioning whether or not Chiropractic care is for them.

Earnest Terrell

22:40 14 Nov 17

I always enjoy my adjustments and can honestly say that my back feels much better since I started going to CORE. Dr. Brown is excellent. I come in on my lunch hour and while is he both quick and efficient, he is also attentive to any concerns or questions I may have. He does a great job explaining what the issues are and what we need to do to fix them. Additionally, if I come in one week a little sore or stiff, he is quick to notice and to tailor my adjustment accordingly. Overall, I am very satisfied with CORE and plan to continue to come in for regular adjustments.

I injured my back from a nasty fall over 10 years ago. Since then I've suffered from an intense lower back pain. I would be very cautious about not bending over for a long periods of time. This was challenging since I'm a busy mother of two! In just a month of receiving chiropractic care I noticed a vast improvement. I highly recommend Dr. Siegmund!!! He is very knowledgeable, motivated, and cares about my personal well being throughout my one on one treatment.

Erika B

21:14 07 Nov 17

I am so glad I found Core Chiropractic! Before them, I was seeing a chiropractor closer to home, but the amount of money I paid (including insurance) and the convenience was not worth the service he (privately owned/lone chiropractor in the clinic) provided. After my initial visit with Dr. Brown, I felt at ease knowing I was in good hands. Fast forward about five months of treatment and 2 sets of x-rays, there's no doubt in my mind that I will recommend friends and family to the practice.

Carla Cozad

15:06 03 Nov 17

Dr Siegmund explained that chiropractic care is a process. I have stayed the course and have experienced much relief. Now I am ready to resume my exercise regimen which I am grateful to do without pain and with full range of motion. Thank you for your expertise Dr Siegmund!

Andrew Nix

I had limited movement in my neck due to an injury 10 years ago. I decided to come in and see what could be done for it. The front office staff is amazing and friendly and the doctors are fantastic. Dr. Brandon is great - he has helped me regain full range motion in my neck while educating me on what he is doing. This place cares about me and not just a bottom line. If you are around here, or within driving distance, you should commit to coming and seeking the help youll get. You wont regret it!

Delome McCalister

15:12 25 Oct 17

Great Chiropractic care. The service is great - x-rays, plan to get you feeling better, price of the service (affordable) and follow up. Dr. Brandon Siegmund has been great with his knowledge and genuine concern.

Michelle Stokely

18:15 18 Oct 17

The entire team is a pleasure to work with. I have seen several of the Chiropractors in the office and am provided consistent great experiences with an emphasis on overall health. The best part for me is that I get specific advice that I can take home and improve my condition in between visits.

Javier Almodovar

13:17 07 Aug 17

I went to CORE Chiropractic with severe neck pain and headache. There Dr. Brandon Siegmund check me and did X-rays, and told me (in my own words) that my neck was straight and was and pinching some nerves causin my issues. After folowing the treatment plan I feel amazing and every time I go to see Dr. Seiegmund for treatment I feel like I'm great. I'm 33 years old and was not able to live with my condition, but now I'm very active again doing Sailing, Hiking, and enjoyn life without pain. Thanks so much Dr. Seigmund.

There aren't many chiropractors that are willing to solve your ongoing problem instead of giving you a quick adjustment and sending you on your way. Dr. Phil Cordova is the guy who wants to make sure he covers all the bases. He is very knowledgeable and is always willing to try and figure out a long-term solution for what is ailing you. He looks at your overall lifestyle and gives you multiple options for improving your health and well-being. That may include attending a Tuesday evening free seminar, using mobility products (neck wedge, foam roller, lacrosse ball) or evening checking to see if leg length is affecting you. He also does in-house x-rays to help diagnose what's ailing you. I would highly recommend you stop in and see him! Thanks Dr. Phil Cordova for all the help!

I love Dr. Natalie so much. I have been her patient since 2014. She is not only nice but her manipulation technique is among the best I have ever had. I used to have mommy's hand and she fixed it with only two sessions! She also fixed my back pain, stiff neck and shoulder. I look forward to my session every week.

Jie Li

20:59 30 Mar 17

Very friendly and personable and makes sure that whatever routine they put me in, it is personalized for healing my needs. I've been to other chiropractors before and have had a terrible experience because all the exercises and programs they put me through were out of a cookie cutter. I would have to spend an hour each session there doing exercises that were not helping me heal. Then the chiropractor would come out, pop my back and put me in a neck brace for 15 mins when I went there to fix a hip. Core chiropractic was different from the get go. I had a free consultation because of a referral and wasn't told that I needed to start immediately, but was told to come back for a second consultation after looking more carefully at my x-rays. Turns out my vertebra is weird and a lot of my daily habits effected it negatively. I love the personal attention that every patient deserves. The nurses and doctors there are all super friendly and they make the trip there short and painless.

I had never been to a chiropractor before and needed one after suffering from low back pain for 3 weeks straight. I had never had issues with my back before so avoided looking for a Dr. as much as I could, so when I got to Dr. Brown I was in pretty bad shape.The cleanliness and organization of this place is impressive. Not a luxury/over decorated office at all, but simple, organized, clean and practical. The reception staff is extremely welcoming and knowledgeable. I can say that was my first very good impression of this place.Proceeding to the consultation with Dr. Brown who spent 1:30h on my first appointment because I had so many questions and he answered every single one of them and took his time with me. On my 2nd appointment I was blown away to see that not only he had really studied my X-Rays but had a whole treatment plan already planned out: #of visits I needed, a whole schedule for the next 8 weeks, treatment phases and different financial options for payment - with or without my insurance. I've read some reviews of people mentioning that the clinic "pushes" you to buy into more care than you actually need, but Dr. Brown was VERY clear that it was MY choice: "If you are looking for a more short term treatment just to get rid of the pain you are currently experiencing I offer that too, but if you want a more long term treatment that will align and strengthen your spine that's what I recommend, but it is YOUR choice." He explained my options and I made an educated decision, no push, no sales, nothing like that, he was extremely professional.I've already been to 4 sessions and can say I'm finally getting some relief. I'm not 100% yet, but the pain has decreased in about 80% and getting better everyday. :)
