Moody Health Center honors Harris County first responders

Texas Chiropractic College's Moody Health Center will extend its 9/11 program honoring Harris County first responders by providing them with chiropractic care free or at a low cost.

According to a press release, the program went into effect last year to commemorate the 10th anniversary of 9/11 and was scheduled to run for only one year.

"After working with area first responders the past year, it was a very easy decision to extend the program," said Dr. Barry Wiese, dean of clinics at Texas Chiropractic College, in the release. "It has been an honor for our faculty and students to provide care for these men and women, and to help them be at their best so they can help others."

The program offers physical examinations, chiropractic manipulative therapy, acupuncture, rehabilitation therapy, nutritional counseling and wellness consultations.

To be eligible for the program, participants must be an active duty firefighter or fire inspector, police officer, an officer within the sheriff's department, a constable, a Texas Ranger, a Department of Public Safety officer or a paramedic.

Moody Health Center also provides care to active duty Department of Defense personnel, as well as their spouses and children.

To participate in the program, call 281-487-1501 to schedule an appointment.

Texas Chiropractic College's Moody Health Center is located at 5912 Spencer Highway in Pasadena.
