Evidence-Based Chiropractor in San Antonio, TX
I'm Dr. Luis Arteaga, DC — an evidence-based chiropractor practicing in San Antonio at Ascenxion Rehab and Performance. My approach blends modern research, hands-on chiropractic care, and progressive rehabilitation. No popcorn-style adjustments. No 5-minute visits. No long-term contracts. Just real assessment, real treatment, and a clear plan to get you back to the life you want — built around your body, your goals, and your timeline.
Why Ascenxion Exists
After five years in the U.S. Marine Corps and years of training in chiropractic, exercise science, and rehab, I built Ascenxion Rehab and Performance because I saw a gap. Most chiropractic clinics in San Antonio still operate on a high-volume, adjustment-only model. Most physical therapy clinics push you through tech-led group sessions. Patients deserved better.
Evidence-based chiropractic care is what I practice and what I teach. Every recommendation is filtered through current research — from JAMA, the American College of Physicians, The Lancet Low Back Pain Series, and the NIH — and shaped by hands-on experience with athletes, veterans, and everyday San Antonians.

What Evidence-Based Chiropractic Actually Means
Research-Informed Treatment Every technique we use — manipulation, dry needling, joint mobilization, corrective exercise — is supported by peer-reviewed research from sources like JOSPT, BJSM, and Cochrane Reviews.
Honest Diagnosis Not every problem is a chiropractic problem. If your case isn't a fit for our care, I will tell you and refer you to the right provider — surgeon, PT, or specialist — without hesitation.
Clear Treatment Plans You won't leave wondering how many visits you'll need or what success looks like. Every plan has a defined endpoint with measurable progress markers.
No Long-Term Contracts We don't sell pre-paid bundles, lifetime maintenance plans, or unnecessary visits. You're discharged when the data says you're better.
Assess. Correct. Ascend.
Assess Comprehensive movement screen, orthopedic testing, neuro exam, and imaging review. We measure baseline so we can prove progress.
Correct Skilled hands-on care — adjustments, mobilization, dry needling, soft tissue work — to restore motion fast.
Ascend Progressive chiropractic rehab so the result lasts and your capacity exceeds your pre-injury baseline.
