“After my car crash, my attorney sent me here because my disc was herniated. Dr. Paul personally oversaw my decompression care instead of handing me off to assistants. The LOP coordination was seamless.”

The RGV Complex Collision Spine Recovery Protocol™
When Standard Accident Treatment Has Not Been Enough
Persistent pain after a collision can involve more than muscle soreness. Disc injury, nerve irritation, loss of spinal motion, ligament trauma, and unresolved biomechanical dysfunction may require a more comprehensive evaluation. Our approach integrates chiropractic, physical therapy, decompression, imaging review, and measurable functional rehabilitation rather than relying on one treatment alone.
The Typical High-Volume “PI Mill”
Assembly Line Care & Incomplete Records
- ✕Uncertified Techs: You are passed off to assistants and rarely see the actual doctor after day one.
- ✕Passive Care Only: You sit on hot packs and electrical stimulation for 3 months without active disc rehab.
- ✕Weak Legal Proof: Generic, copy-paste clinical notes that insurance adjusters easily reject or slash.
Our Medical & Legal Standard
Direct Senior Clinical Oversight & Unassailable Proof
- ✓Direct DC + PT Oversight: Managed hands-on by Dr. Paul Sta. Juana, DC and Liza Sta. Juana, PT.
- ✓Active Structural Reconstruction: Cox® Spinal Decompression combined with active PT rehabilitation.
