Hormone replacement therapy provider: Vanguard Spine & Sport - Houston, TX

Short answer first: 10/10 would recommend! I came into vanguard in denial of my pain. I was hoping to simply get a PT eval and suggestions and be on my merry way. That was not the case- thanks to Vanguard I was immediately advised to get an MRI because they suspected I had a herniated disc. Surprise surprise- I did. I’ve worked in physical therapy clinics for the past 5 years, and was used to helping others through their pain. However my experience with my herniated disk hurt not only physically, but emotionally and mentally. I was so discouraged that my herniated could make me feel such pain and so helpless. I was a 25 year old who couldn’t do simple tasks like tie my shoes or SIT DOWN. There were days that I was literally frozen in bed because of the pain. One thing was consistent though.. the support I received from the Vanguard Spine and Sport’s team. Every day that I walked through their office I was received with an immense amount on positivity and encouragement. There were days that I know I was hard to work with because of my frustrations, but their team did not give up on me and for that I am incredibly grateful. This clinic is a tech heavy clinic. Your exercises will more than likely be run with you by a tech. Although that did not convince me at first… I can safely say that it was the right choice for me. Patients can tell that the Vanguard team takes their hiring process really serious. They hire the best of the best techs who are proactive, professional and immensely supportive of your treatment.The Chiropractors and Physical Therapist are always on stand by and the techs a quick to ask them any questions they may not have an answer to. It is a well working team. Towards the end of my treatment I shared that I was really excited to be able to dance the night away at my friend’s wedding. And that I did! I was on my feet all night and woke up the next day, did my exercises and was ready to go. As promised I’ll include a picture of the dress for that night. I didn’t get a change to take many pictures so I’ll share the best one I could find haha. Thank you so much to everyone at Vanguard Spine and Sport’s. I’m still doing my exercises to keep me moving and grooving! - Juana

I highly recommend Vanguard Spine & Sport! ✨AH-MAZING!✨ That’s the word I use to describe my experiences there. It has been such a blessing to me! I first learned of them after a serious car accident. Not many providers will accept patients (new or old) if you were involved in an accident. Who knew?? But Vanguard does … and they have made a huge difference in my life! I arrived that first day battered and bruised. The staff was truly helpful and did an excellent job of advising me on so much that needed to happen. I am so grateful. And even after the accident injuries were resolved, I have remained a client for the last three years! I could not be more appreciative of all they have done for me. It has been a positive for my health and well-being for sure! Not only is the treatment excellent, but the atmosphere of kindness and joy ministers to me every single time. The location is convenient and easy to get to; also, there is rarely a wait time once I arrive. Vanguard is truly a one stop shop in many ways. They offer state of the art chiropractic services along with a whole body approach to healing. Every person there is super kind and helpful in every way! It has a professional atmosphere, but the staff is also super warm and personable; just the right amount of both! AND they accept most major insurance carriers! I am always so confident and comfortable there … knowing I am getting the best possible care in a pleasant atmosphere! They communicate clearly, listen to my concerns, explain procedures thoroughly, and offer a personalized plan of care, while keeping an eye on my overall health. From ordering labs, ultrasounds x-rays, hormone replacement therapy, physical rehab, the decompression table, pain injections and more, I always know I am getting outstanding care! Dr. Oswald (or Dr. O) is the absolute best of the many chiropractors who have treated me in the last five decades! He is up front and transparent about what to expect during treatment when a significant change or event has occurred. He also adjusts his approach to my treatment plan based on my physical symptoms and my progress as we proceed, not just a “one plan fits all” methodology. I have never felt better with any other provider than with Dr. O. He has done for me what no one else has been able to! He gets ALL the stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The ladies at the front are ALL excellent and happily helpful! They are just fantastic! The positive energy in the whole place starts when you walk in the door! The physical therapists are top notch, too! The entire team including Abraham, Lauren, Riley and Christian are pleasant to interact with and they know their stuff! They each seem to know how to best motivate me as a patient while making the sessions interesting and even fun. After only a few sessions, there has definitely been a reduction in my pain, as well as increased mobility, and overall strength improvement … and it gets better each time. It’s great to be paired with any one of them; they each exhibit knowledge, patience, and an individualized approach, to my talkative self. 😂 Their skill and consistency has truly had a positive impact in my daily life! They inspire me to keep moving! OH! And they also have great 🎶music🎶 😊

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Oswald’s for almost two years, and every visit has been a positive experience. The staff is always so friendly and welcoming, and the office is incredibly clean and comfortable. Dr. Oswald takes the time to listen and explain things clearly—he genuinely cares about his patients. I’ve seen a huge improvement in my overall well-being since starting care here. He truly works miracles! Highly recommend this office to anyone looking for quality chiropractic care.

This is an excellent place with a 5-star level of human quality and professionalism. I've never felt so well, and I truly believe this significantly aided my recovery. From the admission staff to the doctors, therapists, and the wonderful people who guide you through each exercise with care and love – it was a marvelous experience. They 100% fulfill their promise of service. I recommend them with my eyes closed! They transformed what was initially a very complicated recovery into a manageable, kind, and functional journey. THANK YOU, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

This team is incredible! Had a goal to get back to running and came into this physical therapy not knowing what to expect. The team is so supportive and knowledgeable. And they LISTEN whole heartedly. If I ever needed to seek physical therapy again Vanguard would absolutely be my first choice. Thank you for literally getting me back on my feet.
