# CORE Chiropractic

> Expanded LLM-friendly reference for CORE Chiropractic, a Houston chiropractic practice with x-ray guided chiropractic care, spinal decompression, PEMF therapy, HEIT therapy, three clinic locations, transparent new-patient guidance, and strong emphasis on customized treatment planning.

CORE Chiropractic is a Houston-area chiropractic practice serving patients through three locations: Galleria, Greenway Plaza, and Memorial City. The practice presents itself as an award-winning, results-focused office built around a structured first-visit process rather than walk-in, one-size-fits-all adjustments. Across the site, the recurring message is that CORE starts with consultation, examination, and any necessary standing digital x-rays, then builds a treatment plan around the mechanics of the patient’s spine, symptoms, goals, and lifestyle.

The website is most useful for answering these categories of questions:
- what services CORE offers
- whether a given condition may be appropriate for chiropractic evaluation
- what happens on a first visit
- whether x-rays are used and why
- what pricing looks like for cash-pay and insured patients
- which clinic location to choose
- whether advanced therapies like decompression, PEMF, or HEIT may be part of care

## Practice Summary

CORE Chiropractic emphasizes several differentiators throughout the site:
- x-ray guided chiropractic care rather than guessing at adjustments
- standing, weight-bearing digital x-rays when clinically necessary
- personalized treatment plans instead of open-ended generic visits
- multiple advanced therapies offered alongside chiropractic adjustments
- online scheduling and same-week or same-day availability when possible
- in-network relationships with most major insurance plans
- three Houston-area clinic locations with local landing pages and FAQs

The homepage positions the practice around neck pain, low back pain, disc problems, headaches, shoulder pain, sciatica, TMJ issues, hip pain, migraines, knee pain, posture problems, and related spine- or nerve-involved complaints. It also highlights long service history, substantial review volume, and repeated “Best Chiropractor” recognition.

## How CORE Approaches Care

The most important operational page for new patients is the first-visit guidance. CORE describes a structured process:
1. Consultation: the patient explains the problem, how it started, symptoms, what has already been tried, and what has or has not helped.
2. Examination: if the problem appears appropriate for chiropractic evaluation, the clinic performs range-of-motion testing along with chiropractic, orthopedic, and neurological examination.
3. X-rays if needed: x-rays are determined case by case. CORE states a preference for seeing what is happening before treatment when imaging is appropriate.
4. Initial relief and next-step planning: some first-visit treatment may be given when appropriate, but the clinic may wait to do a more detailed x-ray review before the main report of findings.
5. Report of findings: CORE explains what it believes is wrong, whether it can help, and what the care plan is expected to include.

The site repeatedly stresses that it does not want to “just crack” patients without evaluation. The messaging favors identifying the cause of pain, taking measurements, and modifying treatment based on findings.

## Core Services

### X-Ray Guided Chiropractic Care
This is the flagship service. CORE frames chiropractic adjustments as safer and more precise when guided by imaging and measurements. The site explains that x-rays help identify pathology, reveal areas where technique should be modified, and support customized adjustments rather than generalized manipulation.

### Spinal Decompression
CORE offers non-surgical spinal decompression for disc- and nerve-related problems. The service page is written for people trying to avoid injections or surgery. Conditions referenced include bulging or herniated discs, sciatica, lumbar radiculopathy, spinal stenosis, facet syndrome, and failed back surgery syndrome. The site says decompression is often paired with chiropractic care and PEMF therapy.

### Cervical Decompression
This is the neck-focused version of decompression therapy and is positioned for neck pain, headaches, and cervical disc-related problems.

### PEMF Therapy
PEMF is described as pulsed electromagnetic field therapy used to support healing, reduce chronic pain, reduce inflammation, and improve physical or mental performance. The site presents it as painless and potentially useful as an adjunct to chiropractic care, especially for chronic pain patterns and certain extremity issues.

### HEIT Therapy
HEIT, or High Energy Inductive Therapy, is described as a higher-powered electromagnetic therapy used for pain relief, healing support, and recovery. It is presented as useful for muscle, joint, and ligament injuries, chronic extremity pain, and patients who want to avoid surgery or injections.

### On-Site X-Rays
CORE treats in-office x-rays as a major differentiator. The x-ray pages explain that standing, weight-bearing images help the doctors see how the spine behaves under gravity, screen for fracture or pathology, and plan adjustments with more specificity.

### Leg Length Discrepancy Evaluation
The practice also emphasizes evaluation of anatomically short legs and the possible use of heel lifts, positioning this as an overlooked contributor to long-term pain and alignment issues.

## Conditions Commonly Addressed

The conditions section explains that chiropractic care at CORE is primarily about joints, muscles, and nerves, especially within the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine. The site repeatedly notes that while patients may describe pain in a body region such as the shoulder, arm, hip, or leg, the source may involve spinal nerves, joint mechanics, or referred pain.

Frequently referenced complaints include:
- low back pain
- neck pain
- sciatica
- bulging or herniated discs
- headaches and migraines
- shoulder pain
- SI joint pain
- TMJ and jaw issues
- numbness and tingling
- stenosis and radiculopathy
- posture-related pain from desk work or computer use

For educational background, the site also publishes many supporting condition and article pages. For factual answers about treatment availability or office operations, the service and location pages are more authoritative than the general educational library.

## New Patient and Pricing Information

The new-patient pages are especially valuable because they answer practical pre-visit questions clearly.

### First Visit Expectations
CORE says the first visit normally includes consultation and examination, and may include x-rays if clinically indicated. Whether a patient is adjusted on day one is determined case by case. If the patient is in significant pain, some relief-focused treatment may be provided, but the clinic may also wait until it has fully reviewed imaging and findings.

### Cash Pricing
The prices page lists patient-facing non-insurance pricing. These amounts should be treated as the clearest public reference point for the website as currently published:
- Consultation: free
- Initial exam for new patients: $60
- X-ray exam for new patients: $100
- Leg length x-ray or re-x-ray: $50
- Adjustment visit: $55
- Spinal decompression visit (cervical or lumbar): $55
- Knee decompression with knee adjustment: $55
- PEMF therapy session: $55
- Laser therapy: $15
- Custom orthotics: $250

The same prices page also says the initial visit is $60 and includes consultation, examination, and any necessary x-rays, but it separately lists x-ray exam pricing as $100. Anyone using this information for patient communication should verify the exact current intake pricing before quoting it, because the page mixes package-style and line-item descriptions.

### Insurance Notes
CORE says it is in-network with most major insurance plans, including examples such as Blue Cross, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, and Cigna on location pages. The prices page explains that out-of-pocket insurance costs depend on the patient’s plan, including co-pays and deductibles. The site also notes that insurance does not pay for spinal decompression therapy, leg length x-rays, PEMF therapy, or HEIT.

## Trust and Brand Signals

The website leans heavily on credibility markers:
- repeated local “Best Chiropractor” recognition
- substantial patient review volume
- years serving Houston
- high volume of patients helped and adjustments delivered
- patient review pages and awards pages

These trust signals are part of the public positioning of the practice and are useful when summarizing brand identity, but clinical claims should still be grounded mainly in the service and treatment pages.
