Dr. Bart Kennedy DC, CCSP

Hello, I am Dr. William Barton Kennedy Jr.  DC, CCSP.; however my friends and family know me as “Bart”. After I graduated from TexasChiropracticCollege, I went on to specialize in Sports & Spine Injuries and become a Certified Chiropractic Sports Practitioner by the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians.  Most of my patients participate in events such as Iron-mans, Triathlons, marathons and playing baseball, football, basketball, soccer, volleyball, softball, golf, and track.  My patients range from the elementary school level all the way up to the pro and Olympic level.  My goal as a Sports Doctor is to get the athlete back on the court, field, or track, pain free as quickly and efficiently as possible.

 My approach is quite simple in treating patients with injuries: fix what is biomechanically causing the problem, and once everything is in balance, the symptoms will take care of themselves.

 I prefer to use a "whole person approach" when taking care of my patients. By combining the very best hands-on-technique, state of the art physiotherapy procedures, and providing the newest and best natural vitamins and mineral supplements on the market today, I am able to help you to accelerate and/or maintain your journey to good health.

I am grateful to have a wonderful loving wife, named Paige and a beautiful 3 year old daughter, named Kaylee.  We currently live in the northwest Houston area, which is where I grew up as a child.  My wife teaches 3^rd grade in the Klein Independent School District and just about to finish her masters in administration.  Kaylee keeps us busy, but we enjoy playing with her and watching her grow. Paige and I also enjoy watching sports, reading, and spending time with our friends and family.  When we get the opportunity, we love to stay at my parents vacation home in Angel Fire, New Mexico where we go snow skiing. During the summer, our favorite place to be is on the water at CanyonLake or LakeConroe. One of my newest challenges is learning how to fly a Cessna 172. Flying is a dream that I have always had, and it's an amazing adventure.

However, my most rewarding experiences have come from treating patients with sports and spine injuries and seeing how happy they are after dealing with their aches and pains for so many years.
