Back pain? Blame the psoas. Seems as if everybody wants to dive headfirst into their psoas at the first sign of trouble with the lumbopelvic-hip region. Perhaps no other muscle is blamed more for causing problems than the psoas. Yes, it is an important stabilizer of the lumbar spine, but it shouldn't be the only one on which you focus. There is another big player on the scene: the iliacus.
Texas Chiropractic College Partners With Local Community Clinic
Texas Chiropractic College (TCC) and El Centro de Corazón have teamed up to provide chiropractic care at El Centro's Eastwood Clinic, entering into a formal agreement on Aug. 17, 2011.
The mission of TCC is to provide qualified students a patient-centered educational program leading to the doctor of chiropractic degree; and the mission of El Centro de Corazón is to promote the individual, community, and social health of the East End and the greater Houston area. Through this new partnership, a licensed chiropractor from TCC's Department of Clinics, working closely with TCC clinic students in their final year of the DC program, will provide chiropractic care, at no charge, to eligible people served by El Centro's Eastwood Clinic.
Chiropractic care is projected to become available at the Eastwood Clinic in the first half of September and be available on Mondays and Thursdays from 12-5 pm. These hours may be expanded in the future depending on the need. It is anticipated that the chiropractic clinic will be able to serve between 30-60 patients per week. For more information, please contact the El Centro de Corazón Eastwood Clinic at 412 Telephone Rd., Houston, Texas 77023, (713) 926-6229.
