Reduce Pain Without Medication
World Class Therapy Providing You 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.
Sciatica and lower back pain, on the other hand, is a very different beast. It's experienced by 40% of Americans at some point in their lives. Suffering from sciatica and lower back pain can be debilitating and life-altering.
Sciatica and lower back pain are more than just physical - they're also stressful, bothersome, and all-encompassing. They cause normal men and women to become reclusive, depressed, and unable to enjoy life's pleasures. If you're suffering from sciatica or lower back 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 you do not have to continue to suffer.
In fact, sciatica and lower back pain relief in Sugarland, 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 sciatica and lower back pain therapies. 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 also 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 sciatica and lower back pain, the areas 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.
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 sciatica, lower back pain, and other similar conditions, you need a basic knowledge of the conditions themselves. That way, you can understand why so many who suffer from them rarely improve.
Sciatica and lower back pain can cause 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 more long-term problems.
Stimulate New Nerve Pathways
Strengthen and Grow Muscles
Promotes Cellular Repair
Improves Circulation and Blood Flow
Our Brain to Body System is central to our approach to sciatica and lower back pain relief in Sugarland, TX. By following the Brain to Body system, we can provide several services to patients suffering from sciatica and lower back pain.
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.
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 sciatica and lower back pain relief goals.

Millions of adults in America suffer from sciatica and lower back pain, so 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 pain relief in Sugarland, TX.
Though laser therapy is a common 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.

When your motor functions are limited or non-existent due to sciatica and lower back pain, 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 have a light at the end of the tunnel. This type of specialized physical therapy helps people recover from sciatica and lower back pain 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 therapy and recovery.
Motor function re-training provides many benefits for affected patients, including:
Myofascial Release therapy gives patients sciatica and lower back pain relief in Sugarland, 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 therapy 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 and lower back pain relief. In that case, neuro impulse therapy is a great chronic nerve pain therapy in City, State. 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.

Suppose you're searching for a safe, effective way to deal with a painful spine issue like sciatica or lower back pain. In that case, neuro impulse therapy is a great pain therapy in City, State. 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.
Sciatica and lower back pain can be debilitating. But they do not have to be permanent. Your journey to a pain-free life starts with a simple four-step process at Texas Nerve and Spine:

Facility to make comprehensive cancer care even more convenient for patients in Southwest Houston and surrounding areas
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center today broke ground on a new 470,000-square-foot facility in Sugar Land, bringing a range of cancer services and MD Anderson’s unparalleled patient experience closer to those living in Southwest Houston and the surrounding areas.
Anticipated to open in 2029, the five-story location will be MD Anderson’s largest Houston-area location to date. The facility will broaden services available at MD Anderson’s current Sugar Land location to include a new ambulatory surgery center, as well as expanded diagnostic imaging, radiation oncology and outpatient procedural services. The new location also will include space for multidisciplinary clinics, supporting comprehensive cancer care for adult patients with cancer diagnoses and low-to-medium acuity needs.
“As we advance our mission to end cancer, we have an unwavering commitment to provide high-quality, compassionate care and cutting-edge treatments to every patient who walks through our doors,” said Peter WT Pisters, M.D., president of MD Anderson. “By expanding our reach in Sugar Land, we can better meet the needs of patients in Southwest Houston, making it easier for them to access the treatment and support they deserve, right in their own community.”
MD Anderson provides a variety of care options at six locations beyond the Texas Medical Center Campus. The new location will replace MD Anderson’s current leased space at 1327 Lake Pointe Parkway. As Sugar Land and the surrounding community is one of Texas’ fastest growing suburban areas, expected to increase in population by more than 30% by 2030, the facility also will offer capacity for future growth to meet increasing demand.
"This facility comes at a pivotal moment as we strive to continue meeting the needs of our patients across Houston," said Rosanna Morris, senior vice president and chief operating officer at MD Anderson. "This not only will help make our care more convenient for local patients, especially those undergoing frequent treatments like chemotherapy or radiation, but it also will help increase access to care outside of our Texas Medical Center Campus, potentially decreasing wait times for both local and regional patients.”
The Sugar Land facility will support MD Anderson’s sustainability goals through a design that will reduce energy consumption, optimize natural daylight, and minimize glare and heat gain. Thoughtfully designed with access to nature and outdoor spaces, the building will prioritize the experience of both patients and employees, reinforcing MD Anderson's commitment to creating a healing and supportive environment.
"This new facility is a testament to our commitment to advancing exceptional patient care and to meeting the growing needs of our community," said Kent Postma, vice president of clinical infrastructure development and growth at MD Anderson. "With its state-of-the-art design and focus on sustainability, this building will play a key role in enhancing the patient experience and supporting our mission to provide the highest quality care."

Kenneth Hall, the Texas high school football player who set national rushing records and was famously nicknamed “The Sugar Land Express,” died last week, friends and family said. Hall was 89.
Charles Kenneth Hall was born in Madisonville, in 1935, attended Sugar Land High School in the early 1950s and rose to prominence on the football field as a dual-threat quarterback with his prolific performances and mind-boggling statistics.
He finished his high school career with a national record of 11,232 rushing yards, playing for the Gators from 1950 to 1953. That mark stood for nearly six decades until it was surpassed in 2012 by Derrick Henry, who went on to win the Heisman Trophy at Alabama and has enjoyed a successful nine-year career in the NFL.
Hall rushed for 4,045 yards as a senior in 1953, which ranks seventh all-time nationally for a single season. That total is also the highest single-season output in Texas high school football history. Hall had two other seasons of 3,000-plus yards, rushing for 3,458 as a junior in 1952 and rolling up 3,160 as a sophomore in 1951. His single-game high of 520 yards ranks 11th in state history, and his average yards per carry of 47.3 during that game against Houston Lutheran still stands as a national record (minimum of 10 carries). Hall scored 127 touchdowns during his career, including 57 in 1954.
“When I first started, the only thing I wanted to do was throw the ball and kick the ball,” Hall told the Chronicle's Adam Coleman in a 2016 interview. “I didn’t care anything about that running stuff.
“I just ran faster than they did, and I scored a touchdown, 70-something yards. And I turned around and those guys were way back there, and nobody had touched me. I said, 'This is kind of fun. Maybe we ought to do this again sometime.' "
Hall was recruited to play at Texas A&M by coach Paul “Bear” Bryant, but he left the program following his freshman year. Bryant's philosophy of defense first didn't match with Hall's skills and mindset.
In his 2016 interview with the Chronicle, Hall said years later he got a letter from the legendary coach who said the "biggest mistake" he ever made coaching was how he had handled Hall.
"I was pleased with that," Hall said. "There's honor in that statement. I wrote him back and told him, 'Well, I think the way you handled me probably was a mistake, but I didn't know that at the time and neither did you. But you learned from that, that all kids are not made the same.'"
Hall later played professionally in the Canadian Football League and with the Houston Oilers.
Hall was inducted into the Texas High School Football Hall of Fame and the National High School Hall of Fame in 1983. He was added to the Texas Sports Hall of Fame in 1994. Hall was memorialized by Fort Bend ISD in 2004 with the opening of Kenneth Hall Stadium in Missouri City. He is also honored with the Ken Hall Trophy, given to the National High School Football Player of the Year by the U.S. Army All-American Bowl.
No details were available on services for Hall, who had moved to California in recent years after living in Fredericksburg.
