Dr. Philip V. Cordova was born and raised in Glendale, Arizona (a suburb of Phoenix). He was involved in martial arts by the age of 8. Active in Kenpo Karate until about the age of 19, Dr. Cordova achieved his black belt and won multiple tou aments and trophies at various age levels.
After injuring his back at the age of 13, Dr. Cordova’s father took him to see a chiropractor. Dr. Cordova had no idea what a chiropractor did or even how this doctor could possible help him with his back pain. He just knew that his back hurt and it was stopping him from being able to do any physical activities.
After just a few treatments, Dr. Cordova was feeling better and able to resume normal activities. It was just a short time after that that he knew he wanted to be a chiropractor.
He got his required pre-requisite classes and eventually headed off to Parker College of Chiropractic (now Parker University) in Dallas, Texas.
In 2009, Dr. Cordova was named Best Houston Chiropractor by the Houston Press. He is also certified in Fascial Movement Taping from Rocktape. In his spare time, he enjoys running (he completed the Houston Marathon in 2012) and added Crossfit to his exercise program in 2013.

Why Consistency Will Make Or Break Any New Habit
Healthy habits only work when their done consistently. You can’t make up for bad habits in one day. You eat fast food every day, that’s your habit. Opting for a salad once per week will be helpful, but the overwhelming habit is the one that will show the results. Same thing with exercise. If you only work out the first two weeks of the year, it’s better than not working out at all, but not by much. That used to drive me crazy. I like to mark stuff off my list, but exercise just can’t be done that way.

Sleeping Posture: What's The Best Way To Sleep?
If you’re going to spend 6 – 8 hours every night sleeping (hopefully), do you think it’s in your best interest to find a position that will help and not hurt your spine? What if by changing your sleeping posture, you could avoid a lot of the problems you wake up with every day? When people tell me that they “move around a lot” when they sleep, that usually means to me that they are out of alignment, can’t feel comfortable in an ideal position, and move every time the pain kicks in.

Why Having Good Workplace Ergonomics Isn't Enough
"My chair isn't right, that's why my low back hurts all the time." "My boss won't pay for a standing desk, so I guess I'll just have bad posture."

Is Sitting the New Smoking?
A recent study concluded that for every hour we spend sitting in front of a TV, our lifespan is shortened by 22 minutes. The study also showed that the average American spends 35 hours watching TV every week, meaning that our lives are shortened by up to 5 years, just from watching TV! The more we sit, the more likely we are to suffer from cardiovascular disease, diabetes and lower back pain.

Five Common Body Habits that Undo Your Health
There are a number of different positions that people get into every day without realizing that what they are doing is causing harm to the body. These are positions and habits that we often don't give a second thought. They've just become a part of us. If done once or twice, they will have little to no effect on our health. But done daily, these habits add up to hours and hours of time spent in less than ideal body positions.
