A father-and-son DC practice on Oak Centre Drive, aligning spines for thirty-seven years. We get you out of pain quickly and conservatively — large private rooms, no waiting, and we handle all the insurance paperwork for you.
540 Oak Centre Drive · Suite 105
Dr. David Kling opened the practice in 1989. Thirty-seven years later, his son Austin is the doctor next door — and their team of four includes two additional associate DCs. No rotating strangers, no high-pressure plans, no surprises on your bill.
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 has adjusted three generations of some San Antonio families.
Associate · sports & rehab
Austin grew up in the practice the way other kids grow up in restaurants — bussing tables, learning the rhythm. After A&M and Parker, he came home. A competitive powerlifter for over 10 years (IPF, APL, USAPL) and a member of Team Ring Dinger® since 2020, Austin brings a lifter's eye to every structural problem.
Most of the people who walk through our door are not chiropractic regulars. They are office workers who slept wrong, parents who picked up a toddler the wrong way, athletes mid-season, and folks who were rear-ended on 1604 yesterday afternoon.
From sit-all-day stiffness to acute disc flare-ups. Most patients feel meaningful change inside two to four visits.
Forward-head posture, sleeping on a bad pillow, or post-MVA whiplash. Often paired with shoulder tension and headaches.
Cervicogenic headaches respond particularly well to upper-cervical work and soft-tissue release of the suboccipitals.
Radiating leg pain, numbness, or tingling. We often pair adjustments with spinal decompression for disc-related cases.
Powerlifters, runners, weekend cyclists, high-school athletes. Dr. Austin is the lift nerd you want in your corner.
We document thoroughly, communicate with your attorney or adjuster, and design a recovery plan that does not drag on.
Gentle techniques and supported positioning for low back, hip, and pelvic discomfort through every trimester.
Light, careful, age-appropriate work for growth-related complaints, sports stress, and sleep posture issues.
Rotator cuff irritation, frozen shoulder, and upper-thoracic involvement — common in desk workers and overhead athletes alike.
Repetitive strain and nerve entrapment in the wrist and forearm. Often linked to upper-cervical nerve root compression we can address at the source.
Sacroiliac joint dysfunction, IT band tightness, and hip imbalances that get blamed on the knee when the problem starts higher up.
Radial pressure wave and soft-tissue work for stubborn heel pain. Often resolves cases that have not responded to rest alone.
Every patient gets a real exam, real listening, and a plan that explains itself. The tools below are not a menu — they are the kit we draw from once we understand what is actually going on.
Diversified manual technique, drop-table, and gentler instrument-assisted work for sensitive cases. We match the technique to the patient, not the patient to the technique.
A specific, non-surgical decompression maneuver that lengthens the spine in a single, supported motion. Often used for lumbar disc compression and stubborn radicular symptoms.
Computer-controlled, motorized traction designed to take pressure off compressed discs in the lumbar and cervical spine. Comfortable, quiet sessions of fifteen to twenty minutes.
Acoustic pulses delivered to chronic soft-tissue trouble spots — plantar fascia, tennis elbow, calcific shoulder tendinopathy. Stimulates the body's own repair signals.
Mechanical soft-tissue work that gets deeper than a thumb can comfortably go. Used to prep tight tissue before adjusting, and to release post-workout knots.
Low-level laser used to support tissue healing in inflamed tendons, ligaments, and joints. Painless, no heat, often layered on top of manual care.
Short, specific exercises you can do at the kitchen counter. We would rather give you four moves you will actually do than fourteen you will not.
"Your spine is not a subscription. We will tell you when you do not need to come back."
— Dr. David Kling
No mystery. No "let's see how it goes." Here is exactly what happens, in order, on the day you walk in.
Download the new-patient packet ahead of time or fill it out in the waiting room. Bring your insurance card and a photo ID.
The doctor sits down with you. We listen first. What hurts, when, how long, what you have already tried, and what you actually need to be able to do.
Orthopedic, neurologic, and range-of-motion tests. If imaging is needed, we will order it; if not, we will tell you that too.
You will leave with a clear plan, an estimate, and an answer to "how long until I feel better." No fourteen-page packets, no high-pressure sales.
Most new patients get their first adjustment the same day. If today is not the right day for treatment, that is fine — we will reschedule, no charge.
We verify your benefits before your first appointment so the front-desk conversation is short and there are no surprises on visit two.
We publish a flat new-patient exam fee and a flat per-visit adjustment fee. We do not require pre-paid care plans. We do not bundle. If a tool is not going to help you, we will not bill you for it.
CareCredit is accepted for larger treatment plans. Internal payment arrangements are available for established patients who need them — just ask.
Plan list current to 2026. We will verify your specific benefits before your first appointment — call us at (210) 493-9119.

Dr. David Kling is the best. I have been seeing him since 1991 and he has always been there when I needed him. The whole staff is wonderful. I would not go anywhere else.
He took me from constant, chronic neck pain to no pain at all. He takes his time with each patient, explains every step, and actually follows up. I can not recommend him enough.
My entire family has seen Dr. Kling for over two decades now. He is incredibly knowledgeable, always attentive, and treats every person like a neighbor, not a number.
I came in with severe back pain and no clue what was going on. Dr. Kling sat with me, explained it clearly, and had a real plan. I walked out the same day feeling noticeably better.
If the question on your mind is not here, just call us — we would rather answer it now than have you guess.
Most new patients notice a meaningful change inside two to four visits. Chronic, long-standing issues take longer — we will give you an honest read after the first exam, not a generic 24-visit plan.
A massage works on muscle and soft tissue. An adjustment is a precise, controlled movement of a specific joint to restore motion and reduce nerve irritation. Both have a place; we often use them in the same visit.
Yes — when done by a chiropractor trained to work on kids. Pediatric adjustments are remarkably gentle, often nothing more than fingertip pressure. Both Dr. David and Dr. Austin treat children regularly.
It depends on what is wrong and how long it has been wrong. We do not sell prepaid packages. After your exam we will recommend a plan with a clear end-point, and we will revisit it together as you progress.
No. Chiropractors are primary-contact providers in Texas. You can call us directly, no referral required.
Tell us why on the phone. There are dozens of techniques — if a high-velocity adjustment is not for you, there are gentler options that work just as well for many conditions.
Most patients describe the sound (the audible 'pop') as more startling than the sensation. The adjustment itself is quick and usually relieving. We will not surprise you — every movement is explained before it happens.
Tell us a few details and we will call you back the same business day to confirm a time. If today is urgent, please pick up the phone instead.
Call us(210) 493-9119It usually does not. The sooner you come in, the fewer visits you will need.
