Chiropractic Arts Center of Austin, P.C.

I believe I won the lottery when I found Dr. Gerard for my Chiropractic needs ! I am 66 years old and because of my commitment to her care and her commitment to her patients, I am in great shape to be the hands on grandmother I enjoy being. Over the years I have seen other chiropractors but Dr. Gerard is the best and she surrounds herself with the best, caring, informed staff. Her patients include children, young athletes, older folks, all ages, male and female. I’ve enjoyed watching entire families go in for adjustments. Her office is a warm, friendly, happy, health supporting place to be! Best thing I do for me!

Awesome back doctor!
I’ve been going here for about 2 years and they all are friendly and helpful!
I highly recommend them, especially since they use the latest technology to evaluate and treat clients.

Been seeing Dr. Gerard for 3 months now and have been seeing great progress in my health. I was referred as part of her Military Program where she treats members of the armed services who were injured overseas for free. She has truly made a positive influence on my life and I thank her with all my heart for what she is doing to actively support us who have been over there and not come back the same way we left.

I started going to Dr. Gerard about five years ago at the urging of family members. I was in such severe pain from joint inflammation that I could barely get around. I dreaded going to a conventional doctor for fear of the drugs they would inevitably prescribe. By the time I broke down and agreed to try chiropractic, I had to take the elevator up to Dr. Gerard’s office, because it was agony to hobble up the stairs.
Dr. Gerard gave me a thorough examination and worked up an affordable chiropractic plan for me. She also gave me some great advice on dietary changes and inexpensive nutritional supplements I could take to help with my joint pain. It took a couple of months, but soon I was pain-​free and feeling much better. I can walk, run, swim, and do aerobics again, just like I used to do. Dr. Gerard’s help also makes it so I can continue to spend my workday at a computer, without pain in my neck and hands.
Dr. Gerard and her caring, professional staff are concerned about long-​term wellness, not just temporary pain relief. I really appreciate that they treat me as a whole person here. Dr. Gerard is a straight-​shooter who has made me a believer in chiropractic. I recommend her to anyone who is tired of hurting and does not want to resort to drugs.

I’ve been going to Dr. Gerard for over 20 years. She has helped me through many ailments and, most importantly, she helped me through my two bouts with breast cancer. Part of the reason I made it through chemo and radiation fairly easily were due to the adjustments I received. I am very grateful to Dr. Gerard for keeping me healthy all these years.

About a year ago, I started getting some severe pain shooting down my left leg from my hip to my heel. I thought it might be sciatica and treated it with stretching and Motrin. This helped for a short period of time, but eventually the pain increased such that I had to seek medical help. It was getting to the point that I could not be on my feet for any length of time and missed work because of the pain. I went to the Austin Regional Clinic and saw a doctor there. He did an x-​ray and didn’t find anything. He recommended either seeing a back surgeon, physical therapy, or a Chiropractor. He also gave me a prescription for Hydrocodone and said I should look into pain management. I decided on the Chiropractor.
After researching well-​credentialed Chiropractors in my area of town, I made an appointment with Dr. Gerard at the Chiropractic Arts Center. Dr. Gerard examined, diagnosed, and gave me a plan to alleviate the pain in the short run and live relatively pain free in the long run. She told me it would take some time and the pain might increase during the first few sessions with her. She was right! When I started care, I was in as much pain as I’ve ever experienced and was only able to get some sleep in a recliner for about 3 weeks. Eventually, the pain began to recede up my leg. It slowly stopped hurting in my heel, then my calf, then my hamstring area and finally my hip. Today I am pain free and able to do most of what I was able to do prior to Chiropractic care. I even started playing golf again!
Some of the other effects of Chiropractic care that I’ve noticed are that I feel much better. I can breathe better, I have more energy, my sleep is more sound and my wife is happier too, except for the snoring. She has noticed a big change in my physical well being and is quite relieved that I was able to get the treatment I needed without surgery or pain medication. I have to say it was so much easier than I thought it was going to be!
I recommend Chiropractic care to anyone having back problems, but also people with migraines and other health issues. I have recommended Dr. Gerard to my business associates, family, and friends because my experience was so beneficial. I hate to see someone in pain, ignoring something that could help.
Anyway, I have heard some say that my recovery was miraculous, but I disagree. I believe it was specifically due to Dr. Gerard and her staff bringing hard work, tremendous skill and thoughtful treatment to bear on a serious medical condition. It seems that medical doctors are only able to treat the same condition with surgery and drugs. The miracle might have been that Chiropractic treatment was recommended and that I took the advice, but I’m glad it was and that I did. You should too!
