Today we’d like to introduce you to Lawson Howard.
Doctor Lawson Earl Howard, Jr. is a native of Houston, TX. He was born in Fifth Ward and raised in South Park, where he attended Jesse H. Jones High School. Dr. Howard played varsity baseball and basketball at Jones and also participated in on-campus clubs, including the Honor Society, GENTS, MACHO and Hands Across the Bayou. He went on to attend Grambling State University on an Athletic Baseball Scholarship and earned a B.S. in Biology with a minor in Chemistry. After Graduation, Dr. Lawson Howard worked as an Environmental Investigator at Harris County Pollution Control. During his tenure with the county, he worked out for professional scouts at the Texas- Louisiana Baseball League free agent camp. He was invited to spring training with the River City Rascals Minor League Baseball Team of the Frontier League in O’Fallon, Missouri.
Dr. Howard performed very well at spring training but did not make the team. Upon his return to Houston, he enrolled in the Texas Chiropractic College. Becoming a Doctor of Chiropractic Care fulfilled a desire to be a help to his community. Dr. Howard treats many athletes and helps patients with neuromusculoskeletal conditions. He loves his profession because it is natural, preventative care that provides drug-free pain relief. He specializes in treating neck pain, back pain, leg pain, arthritis, headaches, auto-accidents, and sports injuries.Dr. Lawson Howard is very active in his community. He is a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., Prince Hall Masonry, American Black Chiropractic Association, Houston Area Urban League, South East Little League Baseball, Houston ISD VIPS, and Miracle Land Church. Dr. Howard donates many hours of service to inner-city schools and athletic programs and provides therapy and school physicals to low-income kids. My duties are to serve the South East area of Houston, Texas and educate my community about the importance of health and chiropractic care. Remember, “You should never be in pain and Think Chiropractic!”
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
This journey has not been a crystal stair. One of the biggest struggles was to make my community aware of chiropractic care because I am the first from my black community. There was also a struggle to get the athletic trainers in the community to trust chiropractors working with the student athletes.
We’d love to hear more about your practice.
At Better Days Chiropractic Clinic, we assist patients with pain and preventative care. We specialize in sports therapy. We are best known as the go-to clinic for youth sports injuries and prevention therapy, especially for track and field athletes. The knowledge we have from years of playing sports, educational training, and working with college and professional athletes sets us apart from other clinics.
What were you like growing up?
I was a smart, athletic child. I was a person that liked to help others. I loved to read and play football, baseball and basketball.
