Unlock Your Health with Functional Medicine and Chiropractic Care

Discover Our El Paso Clinic’s Mission

At our El Paso, TX clinic, we’re dedicated to transforming lives through integrative chiropractic and functional medicine. Led by Dr. Alex Jimenez, DC, APRN, FNP-BC, our team combines chiropractic care with nutrition, rehabilitation, and holistic therapies to address injuries, chronic pain, and overall wellness. This article answers common questions about our approach, its benefits, and how we support your journey to optimal health.

Why Choose Our Integrative Care?

Our clinic offers a unique blend of chiropractic adjustments and functional medicine, focusing on the root causes of health issues rather than just symptoms. Dr. Jimenez’s dual expertise as a chiropractor and nurse practitioner ensures thorough assessments using advanced imaging and personalized treatment plans. Whether you’re recovering from a sports injury, motor vehicle accident (MVA), or managing chronic conditions, our non-invasive protocols promote natural healing (Jimenez, n.d.; Integrative Chiropractic Center, n.d.).

Your First Visit: What to Expect

Your journey to wellness begins with a comprehensive first visit, including:

• Medical History Review: Discussing injuries, symptoms, and health goals.
• Physical Evaluation: Assessing posture, mobility, and spinal health.
• Diagnostic Imaging: Using X-rays or MRIs for precise diagnosis.
• Personalized Plan: Outlining therapies like adjustments, nutrition, or exercises.

The visit lasts 30–60 minutes in our supportive clinic environment. Contact us at 915-850-0900 or coach@elpasofunctionalmedicine.com to start (Pivotal Chiropractic, n.d.).

Conditions We Treat

Our integrative approach addresses a wide range of conditions beyond back and neck pain:

• Migraines: Spinal adjustments can reduce migraine frequency, as shown in a 2019 study (Healthgrades, 2025).
• Dizziness: Correcting spinal misalignments improves balance (ScienceDirect, n.d.).
• Allergies: Some patients report relief from reduced stress, though evidence is limited (Mile High Spine, n.d.).
• Chronic Pain: Effective for pain from MVAs, work, or sports injuries.

We specialize in helping patients recover from injuries while enhancing overall health (Jimenez, n.d.).

Our Treatment Techniques

We use a variety of integrative methods tailored to your needs:

• Chiropractic Adjustments: Restore spinal alignment to reduce pain.
• Functional Nutrition: Supports healing and wellness through diet.
• Rehabilitation Exercises: Improve strength and mobility.
• Acupuncture: Enhances pain relief and recovery.
• Massage Therapy: Reduces inflammation and tension.
• Lifestyle Coaching: Promotes long-term health.

Dr. Jimenez often uses the Diversified Technique for adjustments, combined with therapies like acupuncture or nutrition counseling to optimize outcomes (Jimenez, n.d.; DE Integrative Healthcare, n.d.).

Is Our Care Safe for Everyone?

Our treatments are safe for most patients, including children, pregnant women, and seniors, when performed by our licensed professionals. Chiropractic care is safe for migraines during pregnancy, though further research is needed (Medical News Today, n.d.). For older adults or those with conditions such as osteoporosis, we employ gentler techniques, guided by Dr. Jimenez’s medical expertise (Integrative Services, n.d.). Our approach ensures safety while addressing specific health needs (ScienceDirect, n.d.).

Can We Help with Chronic or Severe Pain?

Yes, our integrative care is highly effective for chronic and severe pain. A 2019 case study showed significant improvement in chronic migraines and neck pain after chiropractic care (Vertebral Subluxation Research, 2019). Dr. Jimenez uses advanced imaging and dual-scope diagnosis to identify pain causes, combining adjustments, exercises, and nutrition to reduce inflammation and promote healing. This is ideal for MVA, work, or sports injuries, preventing long-term complications (Jimenez, n.d.).

Treatment Costs

Costs vary based on the treatment plan and frequency. In El Paso, sessions typically range from $50 to $150, with initial visits potentially higher due to diagnostics (DE Integrative Healthcare, n.d.). We offer affordable packages for ongoing care. Contact our office at 915-850-0900 for details.

Insurance Coverage

We accept many insurance plans, though coverage varies. Chiropractic care for injuries is often covered, but integrative therapies, such as acupuncture, may have limitations. Our team assists with claims and offers options for uninsured patients. Verify coverage with your provider and contact us for support (Integrative Services, n.d.).

Is Ongoing Care Necessary?

For chronic conditions or injury recovery, ongoing treatment is often recommended. Initial frequent visits may transition to maintenance care (e.g., monthly) as you improve. Dr. Jimenez incorporates nutrition and exercise to prevent re-injury and promote wellness (DE Integrative Healthcare, n.d.).
