World Class Therapy for Chronic Pain and Nerve Disease Proven to Provide Lasting Relief
As we get older, we all experience the occasional ache or pain. Sometimes it happens after an intense workout session. Other times, we wake up in the morning and have achy knees for no discernable reason. These pains, usually referred to as acute pains, are common and often dissipate.
Chronic pain, on the other hand, is a very different beast. It's experienced by nearly 1/3 of Americans at some point in their lives and can be transmitted to the brain even after an injury is healed. Suffering from chronic back, knee, spine, neck, foot, and other types of pain doesn't just hurt - it can be debilitating and life-changing.
Yes, chronic pain is a physical sense that can result in pounding headaches, burning neck pain, and searing joint pain. But chronic pain is more than physical - it's also stressful, bothersome, and all-encompassing. It causes normal men and women to become reclusive, depressed, and unable to enjoy life's pleasures. If you're suffering from the fallout of chronic pain, you might feel like all hope is lost. But the doctors and specialists at Texas Nerve and Spine are here to tell you that living with chronic pain isn't inevitable.
In fact, chronic pain relief in Greatwood, TX, is more achievable than you might think, and it doesn't have to involve harmful surgeries or addictive pain medications.
At our nerve and spine clinic in Texas, we have a simple philosophy: Treat every patient the same way that you would treat your parent, spouse, or child if they were patients at Texas Nerve and Spine. As a family-owned and operated institution, that's just the way we do business. While some spine and nerve pain clinics focus solely on monetary transactions and ROI, we prefer to put our patients' needs first before anything else. And that, in a nutshell, is what sets Texas Nerve and Spine apart from all the others.
We supplement our patient-first philosophy with innovative chronic pain and nerve disease treatments. Our therapies restore our patients' health while correcting the underlying causes of their spine and nerve issues without relying on damaging pharmaceutical drugs or expensive, invasive surgeries.
It all starts with our unique Brain to Body system - a cutting-edge approach developed specifically for people with chronic pain and nerve diseases. This system helps treat patients suffering from a wide range of conditions, including:
If you're in search of an expert panel of nerve and pain doctors who provide lasting relief and world-class therapies for nerve diseases and chronic pain, our team is here to serve you.
To reverse chronic pain and/or nerve disease, areas of the body that have become weak due to disease or injury must be strengthened. This includes your brain, nerves, muscles, blood vessels, and cells. Our experts here at Texas Nerve and Spine developed the most advanced pain and nerve therapy system to do all of this and more, and we call it the Brain to Body System.
From fibromyalgia and disc herniations to diabetic neuropathy and sciatica, our Brain to Body System helps restore your health and corrects the causes of your problems. Unlike treatments from other nerve and spine clinics, our system provides long-term relief without relying on invasive surgeries or dangerously addictive pharmaceutical medications.
To understand how our Brain to Body System solves chronic pain and similar conditions like nerve disease, you need a basic knowledge of the conditions themselves. That way, you can understand why so many who suffer from them rarely improve.
This is a type of pain that does not get better on its own or that doesn't alleviate after traditional medical treatments or prescription pain meds.

Chronic pain from nerve diseases and serious injuries causes a domino effect within your body. It starts with inflammation, which leads to decreased blood supply. This reduced blood supply results in a lack of oxygen. When your body doesn't get enough oxygen, it loses crucial nutrients that your body needs. This progressive effect often leads to long-term problems such as:
But with Texas Nerve and Spine's Brain to Body system, patients suffering from chronic pain and nerve disease build strength through rehabilitation. This advanced system helps:
Our Brain to Body System is central to our approach to chronic musculoskeletal pain relief and chronic nerve pain relief in Greatwood, TX. By following the Brain to Body system, we can provide several services to patients suffering from chronic pain and nerve damage.
Here's a fact you might not know: Breathing in higher levels of oxygen than you normally take in actually helps improve your health. Also called EWOT, exercising with oxygen is a technique that increases oxygen circulation at a much more rapid pace than oxygen therapy alone. Create New Blood Cells
At Texas Nerve and Spine, our doctors use the NuStep Recumbent Cross Trainer to help achieve the aforementioned benefits. This specialized machine trains your muscles, brain, and nerves to work together, which supports your body's healing processes. While using the NuStep Recumbent Cross Trainer, patients are hooked up to an oxygen generator to enjoy the benefits of EWOT and reach their chronic pain relief goals.
When you oxygenate your blood with EWOT, it can have amazing benefits that can:
Many patients who visit Texas Nerve and Spine are suffering from an injury or disease of the vertebral discs of their spine. It requires the right kind of care from highly specialized doctors. If you're in search of a safe, gentle, controlled treatment for back and spinal pain, Flexion Distraction therapy may be for you.
Finding relief for this type of condition and pain is often easier said than done. Fortunately, relief is right around the corner at Texas Nerve and Spine. Our Flexion/Distraction Table stretches the spine safely and gently, allowing injured tissue and damaged discs the chance to heal and become hydrated, which lets the affected area recover more effectively and efficiently.
Patients looking for chronic back and neck pain relief in Greatwood, TX choose Flexion/Distraction therapy because it:
With more than 50 million adults in America suffering from chronic pain, it makes sense that most of them want a solution that doesn't require pain medication or harmful surgery. That's where laser therapy from Texas Nerve and Spine comes into play. Laser therapy has been used for therapeutic purposes in medical environments for years. In fact, it is FDA-approved and backed by more than 2,500 research studies, which have demonstrated its efficacy in chronic musculoskeletal pain relief in Greatwood, TX.
Though laser therapy is a common treatment option, not all lasers are the same. Our Class IV laser therapy, used in all applicable programs, is the most efficacious and powerful laser available for tissue healing and regeneration and healing. Class IV lasers use photobiomodulation, which provides excellent results for Musculoskeletal disorders. This process has also been proven to help with other various conditions that cause chronic pain, such as sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, low back pain, shoulder pain, and much more.
Our chronic pain patients choose laser therapy from Texas Nerve and Spine because it:
When your motor functions are limited or non-existent due to a serious injury or surgery, it can ruin your life. You lose the ability to be independent - one of the hallmarks of being human. Fortunately, with motor function re-training at Texas Nerve and Spine, patients suffering from motor function issues have a light at the end of the tunnel. This type of specialized physical therapy helps people recover from injuries or surgeries that leave their motor functions lacking. The goal of motor function re-training is to regain coordination and strength in the areas affecting the patient.
Motor function re-training therapy is a crucial part of the motor function rehabilitation process because it helps patients regain the independence they lost. Perhaps equally important, it also helps them return to their original level of motor function or better.
Based on our Brain to Body system, our specialists design custom exercise programs based on our patient's motor function needs. Depending on the type of injury and lack of motor skills associated with it, we may also use electrical stimulation and other modalities for more effective treatment and recovery.
Motor function re-training provides many benefits for affected patients, including:
Myofascial Release therapy gives patients chronic pain relief in Greatwood, TX, and boosts joint mobility by loosening up restricted, tight muscles. Though there are similarities to traditional massages, myofascial release therapy focuses on soft tissues and the muscular system in your body to relieve tension and stress on muscles.
Restricted muscles have reduced blood flow and less oxygen. When this happens, it leads to limited movement and pain that is often intense. Our program uses state-of-the-art technology to apply acute, high-velocity vibration directly to the affected tissue to provide the patient with the environment necessary to increase mobility which, over time, can exponentially reduce pain
Benefits of this type of treatment include:
As is the case with any spinal cord injury, the nerves around the spine get weak. When this happens, pain develops, and recovery is halted. Suppose you're searching for a safe, effective way to deal with a painful spine issue like sciatica or a herniated disc. In that case, neuro impulse therapy is a great chronic nerve pain treatment in Greatwood, TX. Unlike common chiropractic treatments, this advanced therapy does not involve any "cracking" or significant adjustments.
Any type of injury can cause dysfunction and weakness in your brain. To improve cognition and the neurological connection between the brain, the muscles, and the nerves, some injured patients choose to undergo interactive neurocognitive therapy using our neuro activation wall. Our neuro activation wall retains, strengthens, and restores proper function to the brain and nervous system without relying on medications or outlandish therapies.

As is the case with any spinal cord injury, the nerves around the spine get weak. When this happens, pain develops, and recovery is halted. Suppose you're searching for a safe, effective way to deal with a painful spine issue like sciatica or a herniated disc. In that case, neuro impulse therapy is a great chronic nerve pain treatment in Greatwood, TX. Unlike common chiropractic treatments, this advanced therapy does not involve any "cracking" or significant adjustments.
Neuro Impulse Therapy works by using very specific impulses directed at the area causing pain. These targeted impulses send a signal to your body so that it can begin healing and repairing your body naturally. Benefits of this therapy include:
Peripheral neuropathy occurs when there is a lack of blood flow to the nerves in areas like your feet and hands. When these nerves are devoid of blood, they begin to decay and degenerate because they don't have enough oxygen or nutrients. Eventually, the nerves in your body shrivel up, causing pain, numbness, balance problems, and other painful symptoms.
Our Brain to Body program works wonders for neuropathy issues like these by using state-of-the-art technology like laser therapy and personalized, strategic plans of action created around our patient's needs. If you're looking for both short and long-term pain relief from peripheral neuropathy, this could be the solution you need.
Spinal conditions range in severity from barely noticeable to absolutely crippling. To get to the bottom of your spine conditions, our team uses X-Rays to pinpoint the location of your spine's disease. From there, we craft a custom rehabilitation program that addresses the underlying causes of your spine pain. Often, part of that therapy includes spinal decompression.
Spinal decompression works by gently stretching the spine. When the spine is stretched, it changes its position. This change relieves pressure off the discs in your spine, which act as cushions in your back. By creating negative pressure, herniated and bulging discs retract, giving the nerves and structures in your back relief. This relief sends nutrient-rich fluids and oxygen to the discs in your back so they can heal properly.
Chronic pain can be debilitating. But it doesn't have to be permanent. Your journey to a pain-free life starts with a simple four-step process at Texas Nerve and Spine:
832-979-5117
At Texas Nerve and Spine, our doctors understand that true back and chronic nerve pain relief in Greatwood, TX won't happen until we can uncover the underlying causes of your pain.

One restaurant in the largely residential Greatwood community is taking a relaxed approach to sushi. Gojira Japanese Fusion & Bar opened about a year and a half ago at 6560 Greatwood Parkway in Sugar Land’s extraterritorial jurisdiction.
Owner Lawrence Lee moved from Brooklyn to Sugar Land about five years ago at the advice of family who lived here. He had worked in Chinese, Japanese, Thai and Vietnamese restaurants for nearly a decade and heard there were more opportunities in Texas.
“I felt like I wanted to do … Japanese food in a casual environment—basically every-day Japanese food, not upscale, and affordable,” Lee said. “Since we’re in the [residential] neighborhood, I wanted to make it where it’s casual.”
Manager Nicole Hamak said that among Gojira’s more than 80 sushi and sashimi options, the Sugar Land sushi roll ($13.50) is one of the most popular items. It was created by Vin Cheung, one of several sushi chefs at Gojira.
“I wanted to make a sushi that has a lot of different kinds of colors on it,” Cheun said.
Another popular dish is the Shaggy Dog ($12.50), which contains shrimp tempura and imitation crab mix, and is one of 30 cooked sushi roll varieties on Gojira’s menu for first-time sushi eaters and children. Gojira’s “fusion” menu features hibachi-grilled entrees, noodle dishes and other chef specialties. Plates like the firecracker chicken, covered in Lee’s original sweet and spicy firecracker sauce, are served with soup, salad and rice ($12.50).
Now until about June, the eatery is selling Louisiana crawfish with Cajun-style or Asian garlic spices for $6.99 per pound or $32 for 5 pounds until the season ends, Lee said. The staff is working to get the patio ready for spring and summer patrons.
“We want to cater to families, so crawfish is something the whole family can eat together,” Lee said.

| Jennifer Kenesek, left, Jeffrey Paul, Sakki Joseph, a candidate for Sugar Land City Council District 4, Native Texan and undefeated WBC middleweight champion Jermall Charlo, Kevin Rios and Dan Mathews at a reception at the Veritas Steakhouse in Greatwood last week. |
Small business truly is the heart and soul of America. With the global pandemic many of our friends didn’t survive the past year and that favorite burger place, the dry cleaners owned by the sweet family where everyone knows your name and exactly how to iron your shirts is gone.
There are many heartbreaking stories of families who that did could not keep afloat, many owned local shops that were thought of as an institution in the towns they call home. Then there are stories like Kevin Rios.
The story of Kevin Rios and why he chose to bring his business and set up in District 4 is one of perseverance and resilience.
Kevin is a restaurateur that adapted to the unknowns of the COVID 19 pandemic. He is an example of a business leader always willing to give back and always answering the call on behalf of neighbors. He has been a staple in the Sugar Land area for years opening Veritas Steak and Seafood but over the past year he opened a new concept called Drake’s Burger and Shakes in Greatwood.
Kevin was born in Houston but raised in the Sugar Land/Missouri City area. His Fort Bend County roots run deep, he went to Palmer Elementary, Quail Valley Middle School and Elkins High School. When asked about Sugar Land he says, “I would not live anywhere else.”
Known to be one of the best neighborhoods to live and raise your family, Greatwood, is a snapshot of everything great about Sugar Land living. Most recently he has transformed his neighborhood burger joint back into the original Veritas Steak and Seafood bringing elevated food to a neighborhood in Sugar Land’s District 4, where small business is few and far between. Typically district 4 is known to be just families and infrastructure, only 10 minutes away from city hall and the heart of Sugar Land town center.
Rios has a commitment to his community and proudly lives the dream of every small business owner bringing jobs and growth to a district that needs to utilize the area it has to expand growth. With our county and its transition out of county lockdown, most are still working from home and that is not expected to change back anytime soon. Companies have found a way to adapt and survive, just like Kevin Rios.
According to a Forrester report on making it work with remote work, “This is impressive, as the percentage of full-time remote information workers in the US has ballooned from 8% to 69%.”
This means more people are working from home and that means this neighborhood model will thrive. Having great staff and excellent food is at the heart of this concept, providing more jobs to the community is a nice perk. Each of us has the capacity to change the world and advance the lives of others through the power of hope.
Kevin Rios understands that when you are able to communicate the power of hope with an inspiring entrepreneurial story of success you can impact and empower a new generation of business leadership. With 99% of all business in the United States being specifically small businesses, we must move forward and commit to putting their needs first.
Throughout the pandemic we had many challenges and here in Sugar Land we saw our entire community step up and make sure those small businesses were helped even if government was moving slower to help get more of them back to business.
Governor Abbott’s move to open Texas showed great leadership and commitment to meeting the needs of small business owners throughout the state of Texas. Over the span of 10 years, small businesses was able to create close to 10 million new jobs in comparison to big businesses which only created half of that amount in new jobs.
Small business in America is often the boots on the ground when crisis hits and that community anchor cannot be taken for granted.
Kevin Rios and restaurants exactly like his are what American dreams are made of — heart and soul. (By Jennifer Knesek)

The city of Sugar Land has rescinded the boil-water notice for the Greatwood water system, which provides water to the Greatwood and Greatwood Lakes communities, as of 12:20 pm. Feb. 19.
No portion of Sugar Land is currently under a boil-water notice. However, boil notices remain in effect for the 10 Missouri City MUDs included later in this article.
Posted Feb. 18 at 3:28 p.m.
Power and water has been restored to much of the Sugar Land and Missouri City communities as of 10 a.m. Feb. 18.
“Things are looking better,” Missouri City City Council Member Floyd Emery said in a press conference Feb. 18. “Once we get past it sounds like tomorrow night, we should have some decent weather and we can start trying to get back to somewhat of a normal living.”
Here are local updates from both cities regarding electricity, water, road conditions and warming centers.
Electricity
Missouri City Mayor Robin Elackatt said in a lunchtime press conference that just 1.3% of Missouri City holdholds remained without power, down from 51% the day prior. Power has also been restored for most Sugar Land residents, the city said in a Feb. 18 press release.
“These numbers are significantly lower,” Elackatt said during the press conference. “We're looking forward to having all the households and businesses back online.”
As of 9 a.m. Feb. 18, CenterPoint Energy, the energy delivery company for much of the Greater Houston area, showed 98.5% of its customers have power.
Water
In Sugar Land, all four water systems are on regular power and fully functional, the city said in a press release the morning of Feb. 18.
Sugar Land's Greatwood and Greatwood Lakes communities remain under a boil water notice until test results show the water is safe to consume. The rest of the city is not under a boil water notice.
Missouri City Utilities Manager Todd Hoover said 10 of the 34 of municipal utility districts located within the city are under a boil water notice.
Residents living in the following MUDs are asked to boil their water for at least two minutes prior to consumption to ensure it is safe to drink. Check to see which MUD your neighborhood is located in here.
Hoover said while water may be discolored, it is still safe to drink once boiled. Once the boil water notices are lifted, something Hoover said could take five to seven days, residents will be asked to flush their water lines to rid any lasting discoloration.
Missouri City does not operate any of the MUDs within the city, so residents experiencing issues related to their water are asked to contact the MUD directly, Hoover said.
Roads
All Sugar Land and Missouri City roads are passable as snow and ice has continued to melt, city officials said.
However, Texas Parkway between Independence Boulevard and Grand Park Drive was temporarily closed due to power line issues.
Warming centers
With temperatures expected to dip below freezing again overnight Feb. 18, Missouri City officials said they, in partnership with Fort Bend County, will continue to operate the warming center at the Missouri City Recreation and Tennis Center until Feb. 20 at noon.
Missouri City acting Fire Chief Mario Partida said the city was able to serve 22 individuals at this warming center—which is located at 2701 Cypress Point Drive—on Feb. 17.
Updates on other warming centers in Fort Bend County are available here.
For more information about how the city of Sugar Land and the city of Missouri City are responding to the ongoing effects of the winter storm visit their websites.
