About Us

“Not only were they able to provide everything they promised me, they went above and beyond and exceeded my expectations. They always go above and beyond to help me with anything I need. They never complain about anything, and I know I can always count on them.”

by Karen D

Hello,

I’m Dr. Howard Glans and for the past 25 years I’ve been Tarrant County’s #1 back/neck pain specialist and my clinic is located in Keller, Texas. I attribute my success with helping people get out of pain quickly to my gentle and effective spinal alignment techniques that I’ve spent nearly the last two decades perfecting. I have a very important responsibility and obligation with those I treat in Tarrant County.  I have found people want two basic things when it comes to their healthcare.  First of all, they want to find the true cause of their health condition.  Secondly, they are looking for a make sense approach or course of treatment to get them better.  We have been very successful at both of these for the last 15 years. I use very specialized technology to diagnosis your spinal condition, plus combine unique procedures to actually “fix” the problem.  

If you are suffering from chronic back or neck pain, headaches, sciatica, herniated discs, bulging discs, spinal stenosis, a pinched nerve, or the unfortunate victim of an automobile crash…Then you can find out what I’m doing that has everyone talking.

Because when you’re treated by me, you get the best and most proven treatments.

Keller Spine and Auto Injury is dedicated to helping others enjoy lasting relief from acute and chronic pain.

We love what we do and feel deeply rewarded whenever we can help. So call us today at 817-798-4226 to arrange a FREE, no-obligation consultation.  We will be completely honest about our ability to find the true cause of your condition and develop a course of treatment to provide LASTING RELIEF from your pain….

I look forward to meeting you,

Howard Glans DC BSN RN DRIT DAAMLP
