About Our Chiropractic Clinic in the Woodlands

Pain is oftenmultifaceted. It's incredibly frustrating when your body doesn't function correctly. The trouble is, pain is often a convergence of multiple factors, so throwing one-off solutions at this symptom or that one can generally offer only temporary relief.

That's why, at Core Health, we combine the unique perspectives and skills of our multidisciplinary team to relieve your pain as soon as possible, while also providing solutions for long-term wellness. In other words, we find the root of the problem and attack it from all angles so it doesn't come back.

Let's find a solution that sticks.

"Dr. Timmons and the staff are amazing! I cannot even express how much they have helped me. I came in at 10 weeks pregnant in a wheelchair from horrible back pain, muscle spasms and nerve issues. Since I am pregnant there were minimal tests that could be run. Dr. Timmons spoke to me like I was family and assured me I would be taken care of and I WOULD get better. "

"Dr. T is not only one of the best Drs but a genuine person.. He truly cares about his patients and friends.. The staff is amazing, always on time, and gets the job done. I went in for an adjustment and walked our feeling brand new.. Alex listened to me and customized the best massage just for me.. I have referred at least 5 people to them and everyone has expressed their gratitude.. It is hard to find good service but even harder to find good service and good people.. Ive found them both and I would recommend Core chiropractic to anyone.. Thank you Core chiropractic for improving my life.."
