Chiropractic allowed me to run again! Back in 1981, I was a college student and I loved long distance running. I wasn’t very fast, but running was a great source of joy and helped me survive the high stress of school. I suddenly developed severe hip pain and right leg pain.
I couldn’t even run around the block. My doctor prescribed pain killers and muscle relaxers. I even spent hundreds of dollars on custom shoe supports, but nothing was helping! I was devastated and scared that my running days were over for good. But there’s more.
A friend of mine convinced me to give a chiropractor a try. The chiropractor did an exam, took some films, and then “adjusted” my spine. The adjustment didn’t hurt, it actually felt good. I got relief, and I could run again. That’s when I told my family and friends I was changing careers and heading for chiropractic school myself. They said it was a “fool stunt,” that I was crazy to spend the time and money. But, I never looked back. It was the best decision I ever made!
I graduated from Western States Chiropractic College in 1986, and promptly moved back to Texas (I was born and raised in Houston, TX.) and opened Pecan Valley Chiropractic. I have post graduate Certification from Life University in Spinal Decompression and Neuropathy, I have additional training in spinal injury and trauma and certification in Chiropractic Rehabilitation
I am a member of the Texas Chiropractic Association, The International Chiropractic Association and the American Chiropractic Association.
On a personal note, I am happily married and have three beautiful children. I still love running (not so long distance anymore), golf and other physical exercise. I enjoy and love what I do for a living and have been blessed to be part of so many people’s lives. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me directly at (210) 359-9100

My Chiropractic journey started during my first year of college at the University of Texas – San Antonio. I started to have neck pain a few months into college and I did my best to find relief, but nothing seemed to help. I decided to give Chiropractic a try, and I was truly amazed at how much it helped.
After the first few visits, my neck pain felt much better, and after completing my treatment plan, my neck pain was a thing of the past! I knew then what I wanted to do with my future. I graduated from the University of Western States Chiropractic Program in 2023 and now I can help people find relief and achieve their wellness goals.
I grew up in New Braunfels, TX, and I enjoy swimming, going on hikes, and spending time with my family. I am a huge sports fan, and my favorite teams are the San Antonio Spurs and the Dallas Cowboys. I’m recently married and looking forward to living and raising a family here in beautiful San Antonio.
I feel so fortunate to have found a home here at Pecan Valley Chiropractic and work side-by-side with Dr. Cudnik D.C. and the amazing team here. It is an honor and a privilege to serve this community and continue the legacy of offering the highest quality of Chiropractic care available.
