HealthSource of Copperfield & Katy Eliminates Exposure to Spinal Meningitis

Spinal Meningitis from Injections, Not an issue for our Spinal Decompression Patients in Houston, TX.
You may have seen in the news that as many as 13,000 people received steroid shots for back pain that are suspected to have been contaminated with meningitis-causing fungus. The Center for Disease Control announced on October 8th that 105 people had been sickened and that the death toll has risen to eight.  The Southeast has been severely affected by these contaminated drugs, with high numbers of illnesses reported in Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland.

Patients at Healthsource of Copperfield & Katy who suffer from conditions such as disc bulge, herniation, and even spinal stenosis are using Spinal Decompression as opposed to steroid shots to achieve their goals!  Our offices use a mechanical traction device, aided by a computer program under our Doctor’s direction, that controls the force and angle of disc distraction.

Our patients can sleep easy knowing that Healthsource of Copperfield & Katy provides them a non invasive, drug free alternative to risky surgery and injections. Healthsource of Copperfield & Katy is an office that believes Chiropractic care is about whole body wellness.
