Dr. Mike Isseks

Hi Dr. Mike, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.

Thank you for the opportunity to share… For 15 years I was blessed to work at a high-level practice led by my cousin, Dr. Jeremy Brook, where we were taking care of some of the highest performers in the city. 2 Years ago, my wife and 2 small children made a move to Austin, and I opened Mōtus Chiropractic, A Center for Conscious Movement. We specialize in structural corrective care, optimizing both motion and alignment in the spine. We also focus on restoring spinal curves and postural distortions using non-invasive curve correction devices like back benders and cervical traction.

I’ve picked up where I left off, now caring for some of Austin’s brightest stars. We have a unique and art-filled space comprised of all NFT digital art throughout the office. We utilize state-of-the-art digital X-rays and computerized range-of-motion diagnostic testing to get a baseline for each patient. Additionally, we use vibration plates and specific guided movements to help patients integrate their adjustment

My journey into Chiropractic came at the age of 16, I had terrible seasonal allergies, and Dr. Brook while in school, was educating us about the resilience of the nervous system when it is functioning without nerve interference. He encouraged my parents to get me checked by a chiropractor, so they did, and within a few weeks, my allergies were gone entirely. That left quite an impression on me, so I decided to follow in his footsteps, become a chiropractor, and join his practice.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road? If not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
The biggest struggles were the timeline logistics of a new build-out, permitting, and unexpected delays in opening. Introducing a new brand to a city was a challenge that required me to attend as many community events as I could. There have definitely been bumps in the road, yet overall, I am thrilled with the practice’s growth trajectory.

We’ve been impressed with Mōtus Chiropractic, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share about what you do and what sets you apart?
What sets us apart from the others is our attention to detail in the analysis and the education/explanation of one’s findings. Our patients’ typical feedback is, “Wow, nobody has ever been this thorough with me.” We also do pre and post-motion x-rays where patients can see their progress (the bones moving better), not just feel it. We love caring for people who value their health, drug-free solutions, movement, vitality, and functioning at their highest level.

Is there anyone you’d like to thank or give credit to?
My mentor and cousin, Dr. Jeremy Brook from The Life Center Chiropractic in Los Angeles, trained me to be an outstanding chiropractor. I am blessed to have the opportunity to spread health to the Austin community and beyond.
