We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Omery Trevino. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Omery below.
Omery, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Setting up an independent practice is a daunting endeavor. Can you talk to us about what it was like for you – what were some of the main steps, challenges, etc.
Hello all! My name is Omery Trevino and I am a Gonstead Chiropractor located in Flower Mound, Texas. I am one of the two Doctors of Chiropractic that you will meet at Milestones Chiropractic. We focus primarily on pediatric and family care. One year ago, I decided I wanted to build a practice that created health advocates rather than just dealing with the traditional back pain and aches. Our mission is to provide families with the information that they need to make the best decisions regarding their health. We knew this approach to make self-sufficient families would be a challenge since most people lack the understanding of what chiropractic is and what it has to offer them. In hindsight, I would not have done anything differently in our first year of business. We started our practice small and led our dreams, hopes, and desires for family care with our hearts. Since then we have not had a chance to look back because of the blessings we have experienced. I have the best job in the world because of the beautiful families we are privileged to be a part of, even if just in a small way. If I could give advice to any healthcare provider regardless your calling, it would be lead with your heart and love unconditionally because that is what you will be remembered for. Not your accolades. Be well my friends!
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
A little bit about me: I love music! Music has been an important aspect of my life from genres of classical, blues, rock, hip hop, country and metal! You can always find me jamming out to something in the office that hits the soul. When I am not playing guitar, I am working to improve the patient experience in our office. I am also a father to my beautiful little girl, Aleya Trevino. She keeps me young with all her activities and learning she’s accomplishing in her life. Parents with a 4-year-old know exactly what I mean haha!
I got into this chiropractic profession because I wanted to be involved in the healing arts, but from a holistic, natural perspective without the use of drugs or surgery. I also wanted to be a resource for my community, so that families could be encouraged to make their own health decisions. We provide many educational materials that teach patients how to live a happier, healthier and pain-free life.
I want potential new patients to know we are a prenatal, pediatric and family practice. We love kiddos and we love seeing them prosper and thrive! Our office is kid-friendly and you can always find our little patients dancing and having a good time when they come to see their favorite Doctors!
We are also proud to say that we are the ONLY chiropractors in Flower Mound that utilize the Gonstead System which is known as the Gold Standard in spinal care. I even have patients Google the best form of chiropractic care just so they can be assured they are in the right spot!
Simply put, we put the body back into a state of ease instead of dis-ease to allow optimal healing and communication within the body. We offer these services to both our pediatric and adult patients, alike.
Are there any books, videos, essays or other resources that have significantly impacted your management and entrepreneurial thinking and philosophy?
There are two books i would highly recommend if you really want to change your life physically, mentally and spiritually. The first is called Meditations by Marcus Aurelias. The new translation version is the one you want! It takes place in the mind of Marcus Aurelius, a Roman Emperor and Philosopher from A.D. 161-180. He exercised what is known as Stoic philosophy and his writings feel like they were written yesterday because of how relevant they are in today’s life. If you could listen to anyone in the world, why not listen to the most powerful human being in the world during his reign?
The second book would be “The Power of One More” by Ed Mylett. This is a book I have all my patients read if they are serious about making changes in their health and lifestyle! This book is powerful in its message and will have you wanting to attack each day like it is your last.
If you could go back, would you choose the same profession, specialty, etc.?
If I could go back and choose between being a chiropractor or a physical therapist again, I would choose chiropractic again a million times! Specifically the Gonstead System of chiropractic! With the Gonstead System I have each patient wear a gown so I can see the spine looking for what we call deviations. After that I run an instrument down their back that picks up heat in different areas of the spine to let me know where there is pressure and inflammation in their body. I then run my fingers down their spine to locate areas of swelling and tenderness that usually correlates with their symptoms. Finally, I examine the x-ray of our patients so we can know how to specifically correct the spine to remove the nerve irritation and allow healing to occur.
I love the challenge that comes with practicing Gonstead chiropractic. Each spine and each case is unique. My patients have referred to me as the “Sherlock Holmes” of the spine because of how specific I am in trying to find the root cause of their problems!
