Corrective Chiropractic

11905 Bee Cave Rd., Austin, Texas 78738

512.371.6190 | www.correctivechiropractic.net

Are you ready for something different? Are you looking for something that works? That’s what the patients at Corrective Chiropractic get.

Unique to Corrective Chiropractic, Dr. Jarrod Bagley is one of only eight doctors in Texas certified to practice the only chiropractic technique to have published clinical trials of scientifically proven spinal alignment correction without surgery. What does this mean? Bagley gets results that last. His patients can attest to the pain relief that the newfound spinal alignment has provided. Chiropractic Biophysics (CBP) technique has been proven to treat an array of medical issues and is supported by more research in peer-reviewed scientific (medical) journals than any other chiropractic technique.

In combination with Bagley’s innovative style and the CBP technique, he has successfully treated patients who have suffered from headaches, back pain, neck pain, sports injuries and scoliosis. In short, Chiropractic Biophysics is a higher level of chiropractic.

Health and wellness has been a part of Bagley’s life for years. He graduated from the University of Texas with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology. Exercise physiologist, master fitness specialist and personal trainer are all part of Bagley’s résumé.

“My involvement at the Cooper Clinic had a huge impact on how I view health,” Bagley says.

The Cooper Clinic is well known for its founder, Dr. Kenneth Cooper, who pioneered the concept of preventive medicine and continues to be an international authority on how to live a healthy lifestyle.

While you are in Bagley’s clinic, you may rub shoulders with an NFL football coach, a professional wrestler, a golfer on the PGA tour or one of our beloved Texas Longhorns.

Along with Corrective Chiropractic’s state-of-the-art equipment and brand new facility, Bagley is constantly searching for new and innovating ways to treat his patients. He has partnered with a leading Austin-based medical research company that examines cutting-edge technology involving tissue healing and pain relief. The research conducted at Bagley’s clinic was featured in the Austin American-Statesman.

In another step away from traditional chiropractic care, Corrective Chiropractic offers food allergy testing. Bagley performs this test against blood work rather than the less precise skin scratch method. Within a matter of days, he lets you know if the symptoms that you experienced have to do with the food you are putting in your body — sometimes even healthy foods. Only a food allergy test can reveal if the avocado you ate two days ago is the reason your digestive system is screaming at you.

Bagley does not hide the fact that Christ is at the center of his clinic. He believes that God has given your body an amazing capability to heal itself through the nervous system. Bagley’s purpose is to assist in removing everyday chemicals, physical and emotional stresses that affect your nervous system so that you can experience life the way God intended — focused on Him and not on your condition.

Austin Fertility and Reproductive Medicine

Shahryar K. Kavoussi, M.D.

Board Certified in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility

Parviz K. Kavoussi, M.D.

300 Beardsley Lane Bldg B Ste 200, Austin, Texas 78746

512.444.1414 | www.austinfertilityrm.com

The physicians at Austin Fertility and Reproductive Medicine (AFRM) have been providing fertility services for couples in Austin and the surrounding areas. This practice is unique in that it has fellowship-trained female infertility specialists and a male infertility specialist as well. With this practice model, a comprehensive evaluation of the couple is possible and a wide variety of treatment options are offered.

Just this month, AFRM has opened a second location which contains their brand new state of the art in vitro fertilization (IVF) lab called “Westlake IVF”, located just off of Bee Caves Rd at the Rob Roy Office Park. At this facility, the doctors offer IVF, which involves the wife/female partner’s using medication to grow multiple eggs, harvesting the eggs, and then fertilizing the eggs with the husband/male partner’s sperm in the embryology laboratory. As embryo development is observed in the embryology laboratory and subsequent embryo transfer is performed, the female continues to take medication in order to support the chance of implantation and pregnancy.

IVF is recommended for couples in situations where the female has blocked fallopian tubes, significant endometriosis, age-related infertility, significant male factor, and unexplained infertility, as well as those with multiple factors or other factors. Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is an extension of the IVF process and involves the injection of one sperm into the egg by the embryologist; ICSI may be recommended based on semen analysis parameters and/or the couple’s history. Assisted hatching is another procedure where the embryologist opens the covering around the embryo (the covering is called the zona pellucida), in order to increase the probability of embryo implantation in selected cases.

In such cases or in cases when a man has a non-surgically correctable blockage not allowing the sperm to reach the semen, there are still options to retrieve sperm that can be used in combination with assisted reproductive techniques such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) to successfully achieve a pregnancy. There are multiple options for retrieving sperm from men with blockages that either cannot be reconstructed surgically, or when it is in the best interest of the couple to directly harvest sperm.

The advent of a surgical technique called microdissection testicular sperm extraction (MicroTESE) has allowed men who previously could not use their sperm to conceive to do so. This specialized procedure is used for men without sperm in the semen who do not have a blockage, utilizing a precise microsurgical technique to look for possible pockets of sperm production throughout the testicle under the visualization of an operative microscope to find sperm that can be used in combination with IVF.

The physicians at AFRM are dedicated to giving couples the best chance to build their families. They plan to continue seeing patients at their current location in South Austin as well as their new Westlake facility.

North Austin Acupuncture

13401 Athens Trail, Austin, Texas 78729

512.968.9908 | www.northaustinacupuncture.com

At North Austin Acupuncture & Wellness Center, their goal is to help you acquire optimal health so that you may live the life you truly desire.

Marsha Kaye, L.Ac, helps her patients achieve optimal health through acupuncture, including facial rejuvenation acupuncture, herbal therapies, qigong, cupping, nutritional and exercise counseling. Acupuncture has been proven to facilitate the healing of numerous diseases, alleviate physical pain and improve overall body function.

Acupuncture is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). TCM is an ancient medical system that uses a deep understanding of the laws and patterns of nature and applies them to the human body. TCM is not “new age,” nor is it a patchwork of different healing modalities. It is a complete medical system that has been practiced for thousands of years. TCM is holistic in its approach; it views every aspect of a person (body, mind, spirit, and emotions) as part of one complete circle rather than loosely connected pieces to be treated individually. In TCM, it is believed that the root cause of illnesses must be treated, as well as alleviating the symptoms. Kaye uses the principles of TCM as well as the extremely effective acupuncture techniques taught by Master Tung.

While acupuncture is mainly known for alleviating pain, it also treats arthritis, asthma, addictions, digestive disorders, fatigue, insomnia, women’s issues and much more. It is an excellent approach to relieve stress, which is an underlying factor in many diseases. The World Health Organization now recognizes more than 40 conditions as being treatable by acupuncture.

Kaye is licensed by the Texas Medical Board and is nationally certified as a Diplomate of Oriental Medicine by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.

Still Think Everybody Hurts?

If your idea of dressing for success is a pair of running shorts and a tank top, you’ll want to know about Austin Sports Therapy.

The doctors at Austin Sports Therapy are former athletes who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of muscle, joint and disc injuries. Drs. Arbuckle, Brown and Thomson work alongside orthopedists, physical therapists, massage therapists and acupuncturists in an interdisciplinary approach to care.

With the right information and practitioners who listen, the patient can ultimately make good decisions about their own treatment program.”

Austin Sports Therapy opened its doors in 2008 and is a boutique clinic, where patients can count on working with their doctor directly, not through an assistant.

Back N Balance

1205 Nueces Street, Austin, Texas 78701

512.479.7878

www.backnbalance.biz

Drs. Patricia Gregg, Janis Frahm, Scott Sweeney and Shelley Lorenzen offer the National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association approach to chiropractic. This gentle procedure restores body balance (alignment) that has been compromised by trauma, life events or emotional stresses. When the head, weighing 10-15 pounds, is knocked off balance from the spine through trauma or life events, the body must compensate in order to keep its center of gravity, creating postural distortions. According to research by Roger Sperry, Ph.D., the more mechanically distorted a person is, the less energy available for thinking, metabolism and healing. Over time, these distortions make it challenging for the body to function properly. The doctors precisely analyze this area, and then a very gentle, specific adjustment is given to re-establish neutrality of the head, atlas and neck. This allows the body to follow and come back to balance as well.

Having served the people of central Texas for over 15 years, they continue to welcome new patients, and thrive on bringing health and wellness to the community. As always, the doctors offer a complimentary consultation for anyone wondering if this might be a good fit for their needs.
