The Joint Chiropractic - Cross Creek

Dr Kantara has been in the healthcare field for over 30 years. After working as an EMT/Paramedic in Mobile Intensive Care Unit and level 1 trauma Center, Dr Kantara discovered Chiropractic and without hesitation made a leap into holistic medicine. He received his doctorate in chiropractic from Texas Chiropractic College.

“Being able to take a person who suffered for years because they were told there are no other options and navigate their body back to better health, without drugs or surgeries, is very humbling,” says Dr Kantara. “Watching someone who was skeptical about chiropractic become a believer never gets old. That look in their eyes, the smile on their face, the amazement and appreciation in their heart is phenomenal. Very few professions delivers that kind of impact.“

Dr Kantara has a 10 year old son who is into Karate and near receiving his blackbelt. Their dog Kwincy, is a very sweet nine-year old maltipoo that they adopted two years ago and has been a great addition to the family.

Dr Kantara was born and raised overseas. He came into the US at the age of 19 to build a foundation and pursue an education in the medical field. The Houston suburban area has been his home ever since. He enjoys reading and studying leadership and personal development, traveling, movies, and volunteering in the community. Dr Kantara used to be a runner but now is focused on weight training and fitness kickboxing.

God’s gift to us is an abundance of water, says Dr Kantara. It is an absolute necessity for anything on this planet, from a balanced climate to the function of human body. “Water is essential for life and for living in optimal health.”

Giving the opportunity to share a meal with any four characters from history, Dr Kantara says his perfect dinner party would include the Pope so he can be blessed; mother Teresa so he can be humbled; a US soldier so he is always reminded of those who sacrifice for something greater than themselves; and Robin Williams so he would never forget that laughter is the best medicine.

Dr Kantara teamed up with The Joint Cross Creek because he believes in “alignment before assignment. Who you work with is more important that where you work, says Dr Kantara. “Getting to know the owners has been an honor and an opportunity to work together to help improve quality of life for many who need it but can’t afford the more complex clinics.”

My name is Dr. Mechelle Tran, most people call me by Dr. Mechelle. I joined The Joint Chiropractic family of health care providers in 2018. A graduate of Texas Chiropractic College, I earned a Bachelor of Science in Human Biology and received my Doctorate of Chiropractic. The best thing about being in the chiropractic field is providing holistic, effective proactive health care for you and your family. I am an advocate of the idea that the body is self-sustaining and self-healing.

I was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. A small city with the utmost spirit and diversity. For leisure, I enjoy cooking big meals, specifically Vietnamese and Korean dishes. I am also the biggest fan of the New Orleans Saints.

When I was in high school, I visited a chiropractor for the first time due to an automobile accident. After the first couple of visits I knew chiropractic was my calling. I felt an instant relief after each treatment and wanted to have healing hands like my doctor.

The best thing about working at The Joint Chiropractic is working with such a loving and caring staff whose main goal is to provide the best wellness care for our patients. Here are a couple of questions to help you get to know me a little better. What’s the one thing in my fridge that I must have, and why? Water, I love nothing more than a nice glass of cold, cold water. Cold water is so refreshing and there are many benefits of drinking water, it helps maintain the balance of body fluids.

Given the opportunity to share a meal with any four famous people, I would kindly invite Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Ellen Degeneres, and Beyonce. They are empowered women who empower other women.

The coolest thing I ever done was hiking four miles on one of the most beautiful mountains in Palm Springs. It was very challenging mentally and physically, but once I got to the top, the view was breathtaking and worth the aches and pain.
