Introducing Houston Chiropractor Dr. Denise DHarlingue

My dad got wonderful results from chiropractic care after suffering a stroke (possibly medication induced) at age 38. My mom got great results for her tail bone pain after a slip & fall on ice.  But I really didn't "get it", that is, really understand the scope of what chiropractic could  do until one treatment by a chiropractor, cleared up a troublesome,  "female problem" that I had suffered with for over 5 years.

My first chiropractor was a student, who was introduced to me by my neighbors. I became his patient in the college student clinic. I asked him so many questions that he suggested I attend chiropractic college to have them all answered.  As luck would have it, Logan Chiropractic College,  considered to be one of the top 3 chiropractic colleges in the world was located in my home town of St. Louis, Mo.

Houston, Texas chiropractor, Dr. Denise DHarlingue

My first day of chiropractic college was quite memorable.  Dr. Bea Hagen, college president spoke to the incoming students.  She told of treating newborns, with skulls disfigured from difficult births, remodeled through gentle chiropractic methods.  She also spoke of the "old days" when she & other chiropractors went to jail for fighting for their rights to practice chiropractic in upstate New York. To be among the ranks of those that changed people's lives for the better, facilitating positive changes without the ill "side effects" of medications and surgery, made that first day at Logan one of the proudest days of my life.

While in school, I worked at the offices of Dr Bert Hanicke & Dr Katherine Conable, both diplomats in Applied Kinesiology.  As Kinesiologists, Drs. Hanicke & Conable put a great deal of emphasis on patient function through muscle balancing and nutrition. The nutrition was of particular interest to me, as my dad's health problems basically started with poor diet.

At West Oaks Chiropractic, we take a team approach, in helping you to achieve your health goals, utilizing natural methods to treat the cause of your condition ( not just cover it up) in an efficient & cost effective manner with affordable payment plans to suit your needs regardless of insurance coverage.

Dr. Denise has been married to Mike, the "car aficionado" for nineteen years.  It was Mike's job that brought her to Houston & keeps her supplied in frequent flyer miles and Marriott points. At her home, a heart beat from a bayou, she has a totally organic lawn & garden which keeps her busy chasing , trapping & observing possum, raccoons, armadillos and coyotes. Her bright, beautiful teenage daughter, Michelle seems to be following in one of her mom's  other avocations; artistic endeavors.

Being from the Midwest with four seasons, Houston weather has always been a bit of a challenge, but the warmth of the people here more than makes up for the climate. Our bayou location makes it easy for us to exercise on the paved trail in the early morning or  evenings. We make Saturday trips to the local farmer's markets to shop for organic foods. Patent's often ask who adjusts me.  I see one of my colleagues about twice per month for regular spinal adjustments so that I can be all that I was meant to be and am always able & ready to give you my best on each visit.

Enough about me!  How can we help you to be all you were meant to be with today's safe and natural chiropractic care?  Give us a call so we can help you take your first step towards better health.

 Dr. Denise Asks some important questions of interest to Houston residents - Chiropractor Houston Dr. Denise Asks...

Can those with osteoporosis get chiropractic care?
Of course. When developing a care plan, we consider the unique circumstances of each patient. There are many ways we can adjust the spine. The chiropractic method we select will be best suited to your age, size and unique situation.
What's your plan to deal with drug-resistant 'super germs'?
Chiropractors have always been concerned with the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, accelerating the mutation of microbes that make "wonder" drugs increasingly ineffective. My strategy? Do everything possible to bolster my immune system through proper diet, rest, exercise, clean air, pure water and an optimally functioning nervous system with regular chiropractic care.
