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 Thompsons, 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 Thompsons, 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 Thompsons, 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 Thompsons, 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 Thompsons, 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 Thompsons, 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.

In that case, neuro impulse therapy is a great chronic nerve pain treatment in Thompsons, 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:

Welcome, please step into Houston's new "living room."
That's how Thompson Houston's managing director, Ted Knighton, describes the 172-guestoom hotel, which opens today, Valentine's Day. It's true — views from the seventh-floor lobby, and many of the corner-hugging suites, are a love letter to the city's best angles. With the downtown skyline and Buffalo Bayou Park on full, panoramic display, Thompson Houston offers a slice of what Houston has been missing: a boutique-ish hotel experience in a sea of convention-style accommodations.
The Allen Parkway destination is not exactly intimate, or entirely local, though it's close enough. A stone's throw from Autry Park and Regent Square, where Houston's big name restaurateurs behind Berg Hospitality and Underbelly Hospitality are pulling out all the stops at Annabelle's Brasserie and Pastore, respectively, the Thompson Houston has got the prime real estate thing down.

It isn't open yet, but when custom-tiled infinity pool eventually unlocks its gates, the surrounding cabanas will be in high demand. There's no backdrop like it for miles.
The rooftop boasts 2,500-square-feet of green space. This is Texas, so everything is a bit bigger than it ought to be, including some of Thompson Houston's public spaces.
There are casual nods to a midcentury modern aesthetic, with bits of marble here and flashes of brass there. The ballroom can hold up to 500 guests, and Knighton says some 30 weddings and charity galas are already on the books for 2024.
Architecture firm HOK is behind the building's glass-and-steel facade. The exterior is futuristic and stark, with decidedly warmer interiors by Houston based Abel Design Group. All of the Thompson calling cards are accounted for: plush textiles in shades of gray and jewel tones, warm walnut and collages of contemporary art.

Given the choice, check into one of the property's 34 suites. They have floor-to-ceiling windows and jaw-dropping bathrooms. Each one comes with a private home sound system and use of an Honor Bar, too. They're meant to "evoke the spirit of a Texas oil baron's home," according to a statement, though the vibe feels more like a hedge fund guy's pied-à-terre. And that's not a necessarily a bad thing.
Some notable Houstonians have already moved into the Thompson's residential wing. BeDesign swathed its lobby in Fendi Casa to give a more European feel.
The hotel does achieve its "home away from home" goal. Pets are welcome. Heavy use of green effectively brings the park indoors. And as Knighton points out, "This is Houston's first hotel with three perspectives: downtown, River Oaks and Buffalo Bayou."
Facing east, try not to peer down into the neighboring Fourth Ward townhouses.
Once restaurants Sol 7, Chardon and Buck 40 open, there will be no rest — or shortage of Instagram fodder — for the weary. Maven Coffee Company, the dream child of Astros' player Lance McCullers Jr., Juan Carlos Martinez de Aldecoa and Blake Fertitta, have their first brick-and-mortar outpost planned here, too.

The campus also hopes to welcome Toca Madera and Meduza Mediterrania from restaurant group Noble33 by spring 2024 as well.

Richard Thompson is known as the 'Waco Drummer.' He goes across the city of Waco playing the drums and showing of the city on social media.
WACO, Texas — If you've traveled through Waco in recent years, chances are you may have seen, or heard, Richard Thompson IV, better known as 'The Waco Drummer'.
"Bringing art and music together is something I'm passionate about," Thompson said.
Thompson has been playing drums since he was five years old. He moved to Waco nearly 15 years ago and has called it home ever since alongside his wife, whom he has been with for around 10 years.
"I met my wife on MySpace of all places, became best friends, made the move here, been here ever since," Thompson said. "I worked almost every job you can think of."
Thompson has also worked at schools across Waco as well, which is how he began street drumming.
"I was at Carver Middle School. I was a behavior specialist, and so they asked me to do a talent show. And when I did that talent show, the kids were screaming and hollering and I love it because I got to see the energy and their enthusiasm," Thompson said.
From there, Thompson began playing outside of a Fuzzy's Taco Shop in Waco and now travels the city playing the drums in various spots giving free concerts.
"He's passionate about what he does, about helping people and drumming and life," said Francisco Montelongo, Thompson's friend of over 10 years. Montelongo said drumming and doing music is Thompson's happy place.
Thompson said he loves showing off the artwork of the city and is passionate about mixing artwork with his music, adding that he wants to show off the City of Waco.
"It's not just Baylor or Magnolia, but it's so much within the community," Thompson said. "We've got murals everywhere, and so just trying to find every mural I can."
In the four years Thompson has been drumming across the city, only once did he skip a beat, after he was involved in a car crash.
"Feb. 9. It was I want to say maybe eight, nine o'clock," said Thompson. "We were involved in that crash when the truck was going 60+, man, and I didn't expect it. We didn't. I mean, he ran the red light."
"It took a toll on him," said Montelongo. "This is how I met him, playing drums and playing music."
Despite the situation, Thompson's passion for drumming never left.
"That, for me, was a pivotal point of 'what are you going to do,'" Thompson said about the crash. But of course, he decided he was going to drum again. "That was my prayer. That was my belief is like, 'No, I don't have this gift just to have it.'"
Thompson says his goal was and always is to inspire.
"The reason I live is, again, to motivate, inspire and empower," Thompson said. "Try to leave a smile on people's faces, man. So if I can do that, I'm doing my job."

It took almost five years and more than 15 submittals for Thompson Realty Capital’s new mixed-use project in Flower Mound to clear entitlement. In the interim, CEO Taylor Field had two children.
“I told them I was really hoping for final approval then because I didn’t want to have any more kids,” he said.
Thompson Realty Capital, in partnership with Trez Capital, is planning the new 50-acre development. This project is a part of Trez Capital’s joint-venture partnership program.
Located at the southeast corner of FM 2499 and Lakeside Village Parkway, the project’s first phase includes a four-story, 200-unit, garden-urban mix, multifamily community and 15,000 square feet of retail with space for three pad sites, as well as a 60,000-square-foot office building.
On full build-out, the development is going to total 500,000 square feet of office space and 30,000 square feet of retail space. The development will roll out over four phases.
Field said this was the longest entitlement process he’s ever been involved in. The tract was owned by Joe Graham of Graham Mortgage, and Thompson Realty Capital worked for him to get the land entitled. The property previously didn’t have any zoning.
Several factors slowed the project down, including the COVID-19 pandemic and a turnover in town leadership. Flower Mound had several opinions on what shape the project should take, as the property acts as a gateway into the town.
“I think that can be good and bad, but at the same time, they know what they want and they have a vision,” he said.
Today, there’s industrial development in the area that serves as the southern gateway into Flower Mound, and city leaders wanted to improve its image in that location. The town had a specific idea of what it wanted, Field said, and while it took a while to make it work it was worth the involved process.
“A lot of people would not dedicate that much time and effort to try and get something done,” he said. “But we really believe in this area.”
The development will include almost 18 acres of parks and open space and about 2.6 miles of trails on site.
Eventually, Flower Mound would like to turn the area into an office corridor and push for class A development, Field said. This could help build on Realty Capital’s expansive Lakeside development. Realty Capital is aiming to deliver several residential high-rise towers within its Lakeside Village development.
Flower Mound is in the heart of North Texas with proximity to the DFW International Airport. The median household income in Flower Mound is almost $140,000, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
“It has a lot of opportunity for growth and a lot of opportunity for, hopefully, a corporate user to come in and want to be the gateway entry to the town,” Field said.

Thompson Houston, Houston's newest and most stylish luxury hotel will open its doors on December 21. Located beside the verdant Buffalo Bayou Park, a historic 160-acre waterside green space just west of downtown Houston, Thompson Houston will be a place-making and experience-provoking hotel for seasoned globetrotters, business travelers, and Houstonians alike. Housed in a gleaming contemporary new tower, Thompson Houston will introduce to the city the first-of-its-kind urban resort environment blending high-profile design, boundary-pushing lifestyle amenities, world-class dining, and extraordinary event space all against a backdrop of rare unobstructed views of downtown Houston's skyline.

Capturing the spirit of Houston, the mid-century modern lobby in the sky will welcome guests to an elevated yet comfortable contemporary space. Designed to evoke the spirit of a Texas oil baron's home, guestrooms will feature entirely custom-made furnishings and spacious en-suite bathrooms with marble vanities and custom wall treatments and tiling.
A dynamic destination for leisure and wellness, Thompson Houston will showcase one of Houston's largest pool decks, the focal point of a one-acre outdoor rooftop "living room." Sophisticated features will include a custom-tiled infinity pool bordered by cabanas offering views of downtown. Guests can look forward to sun-drenched cocktails and bites at rooftop restaurant and lounge Sol 7, and a 2,500-square-foot greenspace will provide an idyllic setting for outdoor wedding ceremonies and events.
With an entire floor dedicated to wellness, the full-service spa at Thompson Houston will feature six grand treatment rooms, a hair and nail salon, indoor and outdoor sanctuary for relaxation, state-of-the-art 24-hour fitness, and spa treatments on par with those of a destination spa resort. Additional wellness amenities will include a sauna, and hotel guests will also receive access to the EOS fitness center, steps from the hotel.
Further adding to the vibrant offerings in the culinary capital of the South, two eclectic restaurants will offer distinct culinary concepts within the hotel. Innovative and chef-driven concepts to open this winter and spring include a supper-club-style restaurant pairing an elevated dining experience with some of the city's best entertainment and a traditional French brasserie offering breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Additionally, the hotel will debut a cafe in partnership with a first-of-its-kind local coffee company, Maven Coffee Company, offering specialty coffees, pastries, and coffee-based cocktails to guests. Maven was founded by Astros player Lance McCullers Jr. with local young entrepreneurs, Juan Carlos Martinez de Aldecoa and Blake Fertitta. Meanwhile, adjacent to the hotel and offering an anticipated extended culinary offering for hotel guests, Noble33 hospitality group will open Toca Madera and Meduza Mediterrania, providing a modern Mexican steakhouse and inventive eastern Mediterranean dining experience in Thompson Houston's backyard, also opening this winter.

Tristan Thompson's attempt to have a paternity case against him heard in Houston appears to be Texas toast.
Maralee Nichols, the woman who claimed in a lawsuit filed in a Los Angeles court that the NBA player, Khloe Kardashian's ex, is the father of her newborn son, has won a major victory in their legal battle. On Thursday, Dec. 16, E! News confirmed that a judge ruled to dismiss a parallel paternity lawsuit that the NBA star submitted against Nichols in a court in Houston. This means the case will be likely handled in California.
Us Weekly cited a source as saying that both Thompson and Nichols were present and gave live testimonies at the virtual hearing on Wednesday, Dec. 15. Nichols and Thompson's attorneys had no immediate comment when reached by E! News and documents for the dismissed Texas case remain sealed.
Nichols, who used to live in Texas, and Thompson, have been battling for months over which state should handle the paternity case and he has demanded genetic testing to prove if he is the baby's father.
photosA History of Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson's Relationship
Both Nichols and Thomson have homes in Los Angeles, where she first submitted her papers in late June, while she was pregnant. Earlier that month, E! News learned that the athlete and Khloe, mother of his second child True Thompson, 3, were no longer in a relationship after reconciling last fall. In early December, a source told E! News that the two broke up in the spring. Also in early December, Nichols gave birth to her baby boy.

This summer, Nichols stated in a response to the athlete's Houston petition to adjudicate parentage that she planned to give birth in California and argued that he already has two children whose moms live in the state—True and his 5-year-old son Prince Thompson, whose mom is the star's previous ex, Jordan Craig. She also said she believes Thompson "thinks forum shopping in Texas will save him money ultimately in child support."
Thompson stated in a Dec. 16 declaration in response to Nichols' suit in Los Angeles, published by The Daily Mail, "I filed paternity action in Texas because that is the only place where paternity could have taken place."
He added that the two saw each other on a "sporadic basis for consensual casual sex" between December 2020 and March 13, his 30th birthday, during which he and Nichols spent the night in a Houston hotel. He said in his filing, "I am certain that if the child is deemed to be my child that the only date of conception was March 13, 2021, because it was my birthday" and that he and Nichols "did not have sexual intercourse in California" during that timeframe.

In her original filing in Los Angeles, Nichols requested that Thompson pay her "reasonable expenses of pregnancy and birth," adding that he had already covered the cost of two doctor's visits. Her petition to determine parental relationship also states that "the court may make orders for support of the children and issue an earnings assignment without further notice to either party."
Also in her June filing, Nichols requested full legal and physical custody of her son, with Thompson granted visitation rights. In his declaration made in response to her suit, he stated, "In my pleadings, I acknowledged my responsibilities in the event that there is a finding of paternity. However, I have confirmed that if I am found to be the father, that I will not be seeking custody or visitation of the child."
In documents filed in response to Thompson's suit in Texas, Nichols included a copy of what she said was a "text from Tristan" sent to her, which, "Wont [sic] be involved at all. Btw if you think having this baby is gonna make you some money. It's completely wrong. You are aware that I'm retiring after this season. So in terms of support it will be whatever is required monthly for someone who's unemployed. It's texas so it will be only a couple hundred dollars."
He allegedly continued, "So you better off taking this 75k I'm offering cause you won't get nothing near that with having a kid with a father who's unemployed. All you will have is a baby with a father who has zero involvement with the child and a few hundred dollars of child support a month."
In his Dec. 16 declaration for the Los Angeles case, Thompson stated, "[Nichols] has attached to her papers many Snapchat messages which she claims are 'real' and represent 'real' communications between us. However, I strongly contend that these messages have been fabricated by [Nichols]." He did, however, admit that the two used Snapchat as the sole method of communication for the duration of their sexual relationship.
