    Real Results from Real Patients

    What patients are saying about their care

    "Patient came in with whiplash from a motor vehicle accident that left disc herniations at the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar levels. He couldn't exercise, struggled to stretch, carried high stress, couldn't sleep or relax, and was preoccupied most of the time. He had already spent a full year with another chiropractor with little result or resolve. Dr. Foss used SOT Category 2 blocking, ArthroStim and Activator adjusting, and cranial SOT sphenoid adjustment. In 3 months, pain dropped from 8/10 to 2/10 — more progress than the entire previous year of care elsewhere. He's now continuing maintenance care."

    Improvement75% in 3 months — after 1 year with a previous chiropractor produced little result

    "Patient presented with 8/10 hip pain from hip bursitis and IT band syndrome, with X-rays revealing degenerative joint disease of the hip. Walking beyond 5 minutes was impossible, stairs were out of the question, and pain radiated down from the hip. Dr. Foss combined SoftWave focused shockwave therapy with diversified adjusting, SOT Category 2 blocking, cranial sphenobasilar release, and the CMRT adrenal protocol. After 1 month of care: 0/10 pain, walking and stairs restored — and both injections and potential hip surgery avoided."

    "Patient came in with 8/10 low back pain from an L4-L5 disc herniation, along with gastritis and a hiatal hernia. She had started chiropractic care in Puerto Rico and improved greatly, then continued her care with Dr. Foss after arriving in San Antonio. Over approximately 4 months, Dr. Foss used diversified adjusting, SOT Category 1, and the CMRT stomach adjustment protocol for the gastritis. Results: 0/10 low back pain, gastritis resolved, and a patient who reports feeling far more relaxed — proof that chiropractic care can continue seamlessly across borders, in English or Spanish."

    Patient Experiences

    "Patient came in with whiplash from a motor vehicle accident that left disc herniations at the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar levels. He couldn't exercise, struggled to stretch, carried high stress, couldn't sleep or relax, and was preoccupied most of the time. He had already spent a full year with another chiropractor with little result or resolve. Dr. Foss used SOT Category 2 blocking, ArthroStim and Activator adjusting, and cranial SOT sphenoid adjustment. In 3 months, pain dropped from 8/10 to 2/10 — more progress than the entire previous year of care elsewhere. He's now continuing maintenance care."

    "Patient presented with 8/10 hip pain from hip bursitis and IT band syndrome, with X-rays revealing degenerative joint disease of the hip. Walking beyond 5 minutes was impossible, stairs were out of the question, and pain radiated down from the hip. Dr. Foss combined SoftWave focused shockwave therapy with diversified adjusting, SOT Category 2 blocking, cranial sphenobasilar release, and the CMRT adrenal protocol. After 1 month of care: 0/10 pain, walking and stairs restored — and both injections and potential hip surgery avoided."

    "Patient came in with 8/10 low back pain from an L4-L5 disc herniation, along with gastritis and a hiatal hernia. She had started chiropractic care in Puerto Rico and improved greatly, then continued her care with Dr. Foss after arriving in San Antonio. Over approximately 4 months, Dr. Foss used diversified adjusting, SOT Category 1, and the CMRT stomach adjustment protocol for the gastritis. Results: 0/10 low back pain, gastritis resolved, and a patient who reports feeling far more relaxed — proof that chiropractic care can continue seamlessly across borders, in English or Spanish."

    "Patient came in with a cervical disc herniation, 8/10 pain radiating into the hands, and bilateral hand numbness — even after cervical fusion surgery. Years of pain management, injections, and medication had not resolved it. X-rays showed subluxations above and below the fusion site — the segments the surgery left compensating. Dr. Foss used diversified adjusting, SOT Category 2 blocking, and cranial sphenobasilar adjustment, carefully working around the fusion. After 3 months of care: total resolution of the hand numbness and a greatly improved quality of life — after years where injections and medication couldn't get there."

    "Patient presented with 10/10 right shoulder pain from four overlapping problems: bicep tendonitis, AC separation, rotator cuff injury, and shoulder impingement — all confirmed with positive X-ray findings. He could not lift his arm above 90 degrees and had weakness in the right arm. Dr. Foss combined diversified adjusting, SOT Category 2 blocking, cranial sphenoid adjustment, and SoftWave therapy to the right shoulder. By the second visit, his arm went from 90 to 180 degrees — full range of motion. By visit 8, at the 1-month mark, complete resolution of pain: 0/10."

    "Pediatric patient came in after a concussion with temporal headaches, neck pain, upper back pain, dizziness with activity, and fatigue — on top of a history of pediatric sleep apnea and reactive airway disease. Dr. Foss combined diversified adjusting, SOT Category 2 blocking, cranial adjusting of sphenoid and frontal subluxations, and Rezzimax vagus nerve stimulation. After 1 month of care: 0/10 pain, no dizziness with activity, and results strong enough that the family discontinued physical therapy — the concussion recovery happened in our office."

    Shonda Stevenson • May 4, 2026

    Dr. Foss at Pura Vida has been treating me since I had a tongue and lip tie release this past fall (2025). He’s not only done cranial work for my mouth, but also addressing my SI Joint issue. He is friendly, knowledgeable and shows genuine interest and concern for his patients. I highly recommend him and his practice.
