The team

Four doctors. One family practice. No revolving door.

Dr. David Kling opened the practice in 1989. His son Dr. Austin Kling joined him after Parker University. Together with two experienced associates, the team covers everything from acute disc pain to sports rehab — under one roof, same address, for thirty-seven years.

Owner · since 1989 Dr. David A. Kling D.C., founder of South Texas Chiropractic

Dr. David A. Kling D.C.

Founder · treating chiropractor

David grew up watching his own father work with his hands and decided early that medicine, for him, would mean touch and time — not prescriptions. He still answers the office phone on Saturdays. He has adjusted three generations of some San Antonio families.

Why family-team care

How a family team treats differently.

Continuity
You will not be passed to a new associate every six months. The doctor who reads your X-rays on Monday is the doctor who adjusts you on Friday.
Two opinions, one room
Difficult cases get a second set of hands without a second appointment. We talk through your treatment plan together, in front of you, not behind a closed door.
Conservative first
We will tell you when chiropractic is the right tool — and when it is not. If you need imaging, an orthopedist, or pain management, we will refer you.
One patient at a time
Private rooms. The doctor is in the room with you — not waving through a hallway of electrical stim machines.
