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.

Relief of Pain • Recovery of Function • Minimal Downtime

Our mission at the Center for Healing and Regenerative Medicine (CHARM) is to provide comprehensive, integrated therapeutic techniques to promote tissue regeneration and repair for individuals with musculoskeletal injuries and conditions.

The team at CHARM provides both conventional and complementary treatments, combining therapies which are often more powerful and effective than any singular approach alone. The future is indeed exciting for patients suffering from musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. Spine and joint pain can in many cases be resolved or substantially improved with minimally invasive techniques, without surgery, and with minimal downtime. We proudly offer an extensive array of interventional spine and regenerative joint techniques, platelet-rich plasma, prolotherapy, epidural steroid injections, physical therapy, micro current point stimulation (MPS), dietary and supplement recommendations, hormone guidance, advanced ultrasound diagnostic assessment, electrodiagnostic assessment, class IV laser therapy, botulinum toxin injection, and many other strategies to promote a healthy, holistic, and highly functional lifestyle.

Dr. David Harris is Board-Certified in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Pain Medicine. He has extensive training in interventional spine procedures and has been using these techniques since 1996. As of 2012, he has performed more than 14,000 interventional spine procedures and approximately 85,000 regenerative injection procedures. Dr. Harris earned his Medical Degree at the University of Texas Health Science Center / Southwestern Medical School in 1988. He completed his transitional internship at Brackenridge Hospital in 1989 and his residency training in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in 1992. He has been actively treating patients since then in the Central Texas region. Dr. Harris served as Medical Director for St. David's Rehabilitation Center in Austin from 1992-2001. He has taught interventional spine techniques including injection therapy to many physicians nationally and internationally. He has treated many athletes from all over the U.S. as well as numerous touring musicians. All of Dr. Harris's experience has led him to build a center of excellence based on the concepts of Regenerative Medicine.

Dr. Philip Wallace is Board-Certified in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Prior to being called to medicine he enjoyed a professional music career in Nashville. For well over a decade he worked as a major label touring and recording artist. Following medical school at Meharry Medical College and residency in San Antonio at the University of Texas Health Science Center, Dr. Wallace pursued fellowship training in both Interventional Spine and Sports Medicine at Southwest Spine and Sports in Scottsdale, Arizona. Recently returning to Texas, leaving a successful practice at Desert Orthopedics in Bend, Oregon, Dr. Wallace looks forward to assisting his patients to full recovery, quality of life, and function.

The CHARM team also includes Craig DuBois, MD; Michelle Hall, PA-C; and Michele Zink Harris, PT, ATP.

By never settling for the status quo, our vision at CHARM is to see Austin, Texas as the leader in the United States for Regenerative Medicine.

At the AOMA Professional clinic you are treated as an individual to realize your optimal health and performance. Caring for patients with the highest quality acupuncture and Oriental medical health care is part of AOMA's mission.

At just 17 years of age, Dr. Song knew that the study of Chinese medicine was her calling. She was exposed to the medicine from early childhood through her family, who use Chinese medicine for their own health care. Becoming a practitioner of Chinese medicine came naturally.

Dr. Song's passion for Chinese medicine is also inspired by its rich history. "Chinese medicine can solve complicated diseases in a simple way," Dr. Song says. "There is a lot of Zen in the background of TCM, gathered from the wisdom of ancestors dating back 2,000 years. All those experiences and dimensions can still be applied today to cure a disease."

Dr. Song offers acupuncture and herbal treatments for female disorders, stress, insomnia, digestive disorders, the common cold, cough, as well as pediatric herbal consultations.

AOMA Graduate School of Integrative Medicine conducts more than 20,000 patient visits annually in its student and professional clinics, making it one of the largest providers of acupuncture and Chinese medicine in Central Texas.

AOMA Graduate School of Integrative Medicine offers a masters-level graduate program in acupuncture and Chinese medicine, preparing its students for careers as skilled, professional practitioners. AOMA is one of the leading graduate schools of acupuncture and Chinese medicine in the nation. To learn more about the school and clinics, visit their website at www.aoma.edu.

Testimonial: "I have been to AOMA several times over the past few years for issues with my elbows, shoulders, and hips. Acupuncture helped relieve the pain right away. I haven't had a need to come back because the pain was under control." Karin J.

We have treated many world class athletes from all over the country and while we specialize in triathletes, cyclists and runners, we have also treated professional, collegiate, high school athletes and weekend warriors in the Austin and surrounding areas.
