At Bandera Chiropractic, we believe every patient deserves personalized care based on a thorough examination, not a one-size-fits-all approach. We offer a variety of evidence-informed chiropractic services and therapeutic modalities designed to reduce pain, restore function, and help you get back to doing the things you enjoy.
Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, expecting a baby, or simply looking to improve the way you move and feel, we’ll work with you to develop a personalized care plan that fits your goals.
Every patient’s needs are different. Dr. Van Dam, D.C. begins by listening to your concerns and completing a comprehensive examination. Based on your symptoms, health history, and examination findings, he will recommend a personalized care plan designed to help you move better, feel better, and return to the activities you enjoy.
You do not have to continue living with ongoing pain or discomfort. Contact our office to schedule an appointment, or learn more about how we may be able to help on the services page.
Patients seek care for many different reasons, from long-standing discomfort to a recent injury. While each care plan is personalized to the patient, the overall goals remain consistent: reduce pain, restore function, and help you return to the activities you enjoy.
The aim is the source of the pain rather than the symptom on its own. Many patients feel relief after treatment, and others do better with ongoing care that helps reduce future flare-ups.
When joints are not moving the way they should, it can show up as pain, stiffness, muscle tension and reduced movement. Restoring that movement is what chiropractic care focuses on.
Whether you are a student athlete, a rancher, or someone who just wants to stay active, the plan is built around the things you are trying to get back to.
Chiropractic care focuses on restoring proper movement to the joints of the spine and extremities to help improve mobility, reduce pain, and support overall function.
The practice also offers therapeutic modalities that can be used as a primary treatment or integrated with chiropractic care, depending on what your care plan calls for.
Depending on your individual needs, treatment may include traditional manual adjustments or low-force instrument-assisted adjustments, including the ArthroStim®.
Dr. Van Dam, D.C. is Webster certified through the ICPA. The technique focuses on improving pelvic balance and reducing tension within the surrounding muscles and ligaments during pregnancy.
We keep many commonly used Standard Process® products in stock and can special order others when needed.

Originally from St. Petersburg, Florida, Dr. Van Dam served 10 years on active duty in the United States Air Force as a medic, including time in Texas and an assignment in San Antonio.

While stationed at Ramstein Air Base in Germany, he helped establish the base's ambulance service and spent two years helping lead the program before leaving active duty. His military medical background provided a strong clinical foundation that continues to shape his hands-on, patient-focused approach to care.
