Monte Vista residents looking for a chiropractor can reach Dr. Brent Johnson at Castle Hills Chiropractic in about 15 minutes. It is close to 10 miles up US-281 and Loop 410 to 8055 West Ave #102, Castle Hills, TX 78213. Book online or call (210) 254-9784 to set up a first visit.
That is more miles than it looks on a map, because you go up US-281 and then back west on the loop. It is simple to follow, though, and most of it is highway.
Monte Vista runs from Ashby Place up to Hildebrand Avenue, roughly 100 city blocks of homes listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. Trinity University sits right along its east side, and San Antonio College is near its south end. That mix means plenty of reading, grading and hours on a laptop.
Older houses bring their own chores too: ladders, stairs, boxes and yard work. Between the two, people can end up with a sore back, a stiff neck or a headache at the end of a long day, and those are common reasons many patients come in. We can check how your spine is moving, then talk through options such as adjustments or intersegmental traction, which uses a special table to apply gentle traction to the spine.
By far the best chiropractic office in SA! Dr. Johnson and his staff are amazing. I've had a few sessions now and am feeling a huge difference with my mobility and a reduction in pain. Highly recommend!

First let’s talk about how friendly everyone is. One of the friendliest doctors offices I’ve ever been too. Nicole, Claire and Stacey are awesome. Then Dr Johnson. Very friendly and professional. He has been my back into shape after years of me neglecting it. Every visit I feel better. He explains everything he does and makes you feel relaxed and comfortable. I cannot put into words how highly I recommend him. If you haven’t been there go already.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Johnson and his incredible team, Ms. Claire and Ms. Nicole! From the very beginning, they have been nothing short of exceptional. They are patient, compassionate, attentive to every detail, and genuinely passionate about what they do. You can tell they truly care about their patients and take pride in providing the best possible care.
I initially came in after being involved in a car accident, struggling with limited neck mobility, severe and frequent migraines, and significant back pain. My quality of life was being affected, and I knew I needed the right team to help me get back to feeling like myself again.
After putting my trust in Dr. Johnson and his team, committing to consistent treatment, and following through with the process, I can honestly say the improvement has been life-changing. I am finally able to move my neck properly again, my daily migraines are no longer an issue, and my back pain is finally under control.
I am beyond grateful for the care, patience, dedication, and encouragement they have shown me throughout this journey. They never made me feel rushed or overlooked, and their attention to detail made all the difference.
If you are looking for a team that genuinely cares, listens, takes the time to understand your concerns, and is passionate about helping you improve your quality of life, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Johnson, Ms. Claire, and Ms. Nicole.
Thank you all for giving me back a quality of life I was afraid I wouldn’t get back. I appreciate each and every one of you more than words can express!🤍

I couldn’t be anymore happy with the service excellence and customer service here if there was an option past five out of five stars, they would have it. It means the world to me and other people that are like me that have been injured or need help in someway, shape or form and the service that I got here was untouchable.

I've been getting adjusted by Dr. Johnson for years now. He is a master of his craft and I will continue to see him every time I am in the San Antonio area!

I have had back pain on and off since I was 18 and I have been adjusted by many different chiropractors. Dr. Johnson is among the absolute best! He and his staff are so incredible and you can tell from the moment you make your first appointment that you will be well taken care of.

Dr. Johnson and his team are great! Always making every one feel welcomed and always with a smile. I started going due lower back pain and the pain has decreased, I am able to do some activities that I had stopped doing due to the pain.

Been under Dr. Johnson’s care for a year and have felt such an improvement in just how I feel. My brother has also been a patient of his and he has worked miracles for my brother after suffering from a fall from a ladder on a house roof years ago. Also, his staff, especially Claire and Nicole are beyond amazing and so so friendly!

The whole team and staff is amazing here. From the front office staff greeting you and making sure all is well to Dr. Johnson not just being intuitive but having such a plethora of knowledge is remarkable. He knows what you need and where to start. Highly recommend a visit to this amazing business.

I’ve been going to Dr. Brant for over a year now and I cannot believe the difference it makes! If you have any kind of lower back pain, meet with him.
And…Their office is the most efficient doctors office I’ve ever been to! I think all doctors offices need to take note :)

Dr Johnson is the BEST. His staff is so kind and positive you won't regret making a visit!

I came to Dr. Johnson in so much pain and not much understanding of my issues. He talked me thru the process of spinal decompression and how it would help my herniated discs in my lower back. Going thru his program has taken me back to standing straight and able to walk and exercise again. I don't know what I would have done had I not found Castle Hills Chiro and Dr. Johnson.

Great experience all around. Great people and amazing adjustments. Highly recommend
Honestly, it depends on your week. If you are already heading north of Loop 410 for work or errands, it is an easy add. If you are not, a nearer office may suit you better, and that is fine.
The simplest test is one appointment. Try the New Patient Special, see how the drive feels, and meet Dr. Johnson before you decide anything else.

Can college students come in?
Yes. Students are welcome, and the first step is the same as for anyone else: book a visit, and Dr. Johnson takes a history and does an exam. From Monte Vista it is about 15 minutes if you have a car.
Tell us. Dr. Johnson explains everything first and takes what you are comfortable with into account. Intersegmental traction, which uses a roller table, is one option you can ask about after your exam.
What is an overuse injury?
It is a strain that builds from repeating the same movement, like walking, running or throwing, and not from one single accident. Hips, knees and lower backs are common places to feel it. Read more on our overuse injuries page.
What if I do not have insurance?
That is fine. We are not in-network with major insurers, and we can set up care plans and simple payment arrangements. Cherry Financing is available too. See our payment options or call (210) 254-9784 with questions.
Can I book one visit just to try it?
Yes. The $79 New Patient Special covers a consultation, an exam, X-rays if needed, an adjustment and a report of findings. You can take the recommendations home and decide later whether the drive from Monte Vista suits you.
