Meet The Doctors

Dr. Mark Walker, D.C.

Chiropractor

Education: Texas Chiropractic College

Dr. Mark Walker joined The Joint Chiropractic’s team of local chiropractors in 2016, and became the clinic director for the River Oaks location in Houston in 2019. He is a graduate of North Texas State University, where he received a bachelor of science, and Texas Chiropractic College, from which he received his doctorate of chiropractic.

Dr. Walker says the best thing about working in the chiropractic field is what it has to offer the patient. “Helping people feel better is extremely rewarding,” he says. “That I am able to make a living at it makes it even better.”

He has previously worked in South Carolina, as well as well as New Orleans and Austin.

In his spare time, he enjoys doing laundry.

He particularly enjoys working at The Joint because of “the flow and speed you have” to treat patients.

In Case You Didn’t Know

Dr. Walker says one thing that he has to always have in his refrigerator is a cold Coca-Cola.

He says the coolest thing he has ever done, he has done twice: “I flew my father from Canada to Pebble Beach to play golf together. He’s in his 70s, and to spend time with him is really special.”
