Don’t take our word for it – here’s what our patients have to say:
I really love River Oaks Chiropractic. Dr Warren’s office offers a wide variety of services including top notch massage, acupuncture, and chiropractic services. An entire chiropractic session composes of massage, ultra-sound or electric-pad, adjustment, and other machines. I feel well taken care of every time I go there.
Jasmine S.
Motor Vehicle Accident / Cervical Pain
I’ve been using Chiropractic care for over 30 years, and this is by far the best team I’ve worked with! I struggle with muscle tightness and compression, and Dr. Warren’s staff does quite a bit of body work and decompression before my adjustments. Dr. Warren takes her time to ensure I am in perfect alignment after treatment, unlike some other places that just want to crack your bones and get you out.
Michele F.
Compression, Knee Pain
More Patient TestimonialsDr. Warren is so calm and soothing. She will make you feel comfortable right away. Her office staff is always friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend Dr. Warren to friends, family, and others. I was having intense neck pain and feeling very stiff from a previous injury. She has worked to increase my flexibility and reduce the pain in my neck.

Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC?
Chiropractic care is a natural method of health care that has been helping patients just like you for over one hundred years. It’s based on the premise that good health and mobility rely on a normally functioning nervous system and a healthy spine. Chiropractic allows the body to heal itself by re-establishing communication between the brain and every tissue and organ in your body. This improves skeletal, muscular, and nervous-system disorders without the use of expensive drugs and surgery.
IS CHIROPRACTIC CARE SAFE?
Chiropractic care from this office is VERY SAFE. That’s because it’s being delivered by a licensed practitioner and because risk factors are identified in patients before any type of care is administered. Statistics show that patient risk is considerably lower for Chiropractic when compared to medical care, where there are far greater risks associated with prescription drugs and surgery. Positive proof of its safety record is the fact that chiropractors’ malpractice premiums are a fraction of those for medical doctors!
WHAT CONDITIONS DO CHIROPRACTOR’S TREAT?
Chiropractors don’t “treat” any disease or condition. We focus on identifying and correcting the source of your problem, rather than “treating” symptoms. That’s how we can provide long-term relief for sciatica, neck pain, arthritis, headaches, and lots more!
WHAT CAN CHIROPRACTIC CARE DO FOR ME?
Chiropractic care can relieve your pain, restore your movement, reduce susceptibility to injury, and slow down or eliminate degenerative disease, such as arthritis, scoliosis, or disc disease.
IS CHIROPRACTIC APPROPRIATE FOR CHILDREN?
Yes, children can benefit from chiropractic care. Children are very physically active and experience many types of falls and blows from activities of daily living as well as from participating in sports. Injuries such as these may cause many symptoms including back and neck pain, stiffness, soreness, or discomfort. Chiropractic care is always adapted to the individual patient. It is a highly skilled treatment, and in the case of children, very gentle.
ARE CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENTS PAINFUL?
Most patients report that even when they have come into our office with severe pain, spinal adjustments are not painful. Often, patients report that they can “feel” the pressure lifting from the spine following an adjustment and often experience immediate relief from some pain. Some patients even tell us they feel a sense of total relaxation after an adjustment.
DO CHIROPRACTOR’S SEE ANY VALUE IN DRUGS OR SURGERY?
As your Doctor of Chiropractic, I see value to anything that enhances your well-being and comfort, without jeopardizing your health. While Chiropractic care offers an effective, drug-free, non-surgical alternative, Chiropractors also recognize that no single health care profession offers a panacea to every health care need.
WHAT’S THE “POPPING” SOUND YOU HEAR DURING AN ADJUSTMENT?
The sound is nothing more than a partial vacuum created when the vertebrae are manually adjusted. This sound may occur when spinal stress is released; although, pressure may be released with no sound at all.
WHY DO I NEED CHIROPRACTIC CARE WHEN I’M NOT IN PAIN?
Although we may get you feeling more comfortable fairly soon, that doesn’t mean your injury or problem is fully corrected. Acute stages of soft tissue injury (muscles, ligaments, nerves, tendons) of the spine may take anywhere from three weeks to three months to fully heal! Depending on how severely the tissue was damaged and the type of stress placed on it, you may need continued care after the pain is gone in order to keep your symptoms pain-free.
WILL I HAVE TO GO TO A CHIROPRACTOR FOREVER?
How long would you like to stay healthy, active, and energetic? Depending on your answer, you may benefit from at least a monthly Chiropractic visit to keep your spine in top condition for many years to come. Just as you must continue to brush, floss, and keep regular dental visits to keep your teeth for a lifetime – taking care of your spine is a lifelong program of care that includes eating right, exercise, proper rest, and regular chiropractic adjustments.
WHY SHOULDN’T I TRY T0 ADJUST MYSELF?
When you bend and twist a certain way and hear a popping sound, you aren’t necessarily giving yourself an “adjustment.” Chiropractic works because highly trained practitioners use specific adjustments on specific areas on specialized equipment. Self-administered manipulation can produce serious problems. A word to the wise: Don’t try this at home!
DO YOU ACCEPT INSURANCE? MEDICAID?
We accept most insurance. We are in-network with many major insurance companies including AETNA, BCBS, UHC, and PHCS. To determine your insurance benefits and payment options, please give us a call at 713-953-1356. Unfortunately, we do not accept Medicaid.
WHAT DO SPINAL JOINTS HAVE TO DO WITH MY OVERALL HEALTH?
Your nerves control how you move and how you feel. Your spinal cord and nerves pass through your spinal column. Your spine can become misaligned because of improper lifting, a car accident, or even a vigorous sneeze. This condition is called subluxation. Subluxation is a misalignment of one or more bones (vertebrae) in the spine. Spinal subluxations can cause your nerves to become compressed, stretched, or irritated – causing interference of nerve transmission. That interference affects the communication from the brain to other tissue and organs in the body, which in turn affects the function and healing process of vital parts of the body. By removing nerve interference with gentle adjustments, Chiropractic allows your body to better heal itself from illness and injury without drugs or surgery.

If you do not have insurance or wish to use your insurance, but our services are not covered, we have very reasonable self-payment options.
