Dr. Sophia Bekiaris -- you can call her Dr. Sophia -- joined The Joint Chiropractic in 2018 and works at a number of different clinics in the greater Houston area, including Cypress. A 2005 graduate of University of Houston with a bachelor’s degree in psychology, she graduated magna cum laude. She went on to earn her doctorate in chiropractic from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa.
“Chiropractic is such a great field and the thing I like most about it is improving the quality of life of my patients naturally,” Dr. Sophia says. “I love seeing a patient’s face light up when they feel better instantly.”
A product of the Houston area, she has a pit bull named Atlas and a husband who, she says, “moved halfway across the globe for me.”
She likes being active in her spare time and enjoys yoga, gardening, and making cheese.
She knew chiropractic was her calling when she experienced its effects first-hand. “I was suffering from really bad migraine headaches,” Dr. Sophia says. “Chiropractic was the only treatment that was able to help. It provided pain relief and allowed me to function properly, like a regular person.”
In Case You Didn’t Know …
Dr. Sophia says the one thing she must always have in her kitchen is avocados.
Among those historical figures that she would like to meet for her dream dinner, she would like to pair Elon Musk (“a modern-day genius”) with Beethoven (“he was a deaf musician!”), She would also include Mother Teresa and Mahatma Gandhi on her guest list. “They advocated peace and respect toward fellow humans,” Dr. Sophia says. “We need more of that.”
Dr. Sophia once had the opportunity to practice in Athens, Greece, providing her one of the coolest experiences ever. “It was interesting because there is no regulating agency, so anyone can claim they are a chiropractor,” she says. “However, when people find a legitimate doctor of chiropractic, their entire outlook changes.”
