About Us
Meet Dana
My name is Dana Snell and I have been in practice since 2008. I am originally from Amarillo, TX and I grew up with my parents and two sisters. I have been married to my husband for almost 12 years and we have 4 beautiful children, Parker, Avery, Owen and Reese. We also have a yellow lab and chickens that keep us busy as well.
I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a BA in Sociology Honors and a minor in business. I researched and presented my undergraduate thesis at UT on how to eradicate malnutrition in children under the age of 5 in Central America to a panel of professors. I was awarded an honors title beside my bachelors degree.
I then went on to study abroad in New Zealand and Guatemala before I was accepted into Parker College of Chiropractic, receiving my doctorate in chiropractic. While at Parker, I was chosen out of a group of my peers to complete my last trimester at the VA hospital in Lancaster, TX.
I am trained and certified in myofascial release technique, since 2010 as well as trained in 9 other adjusting techniques. I now work in Colleyville, Texas and reside in Grapevine.
When not at work, I enjoy running, skiing, traveling, watching my children in sports, and enjoying time with friends and family.
Looking forward to meeting you all!!
What is Myofascial Release?
Myofascial Release (MFR) treats problems with overused muscles, tendons and nerves including:
•Headaches
•Back pain
•Carpal tunnel syndrome
•Shin splints
•Shoulder pain
•Sciatica
•Plantar Fasciitis
•Knee and joint problems
•Tennis elbow or Golfers elbow
Over used muscles:
1) Can cause your body to produce tough, dense scar tissue in the affected painful area.
2) Scar tissue: binds up and ties down tissues that need to move freely. As scar tissue builds up, muscles become shorter and weaker, tension on tendons causes tendonitis, and nerves can become trapped ( causing tingling, numbness and weakness).
3) Can cause reduced range of motion, loss of strength, and pain.
