Meet the Staff
Being doctors of Chiropractic give Monya and Chae Tracy a great deal of satisfaction. They can think of no other profession that would better suit their personalities and philosophies of helping to make others more aware of the natural way to health.
They have a passion for helping others to obtain or maintain health through natural methods that aid the body in healing itself, rather than hiding the pain or problem.
Through this profession they can educate others of this alternative, becoming mainstream, method of health care, and perhaps change the overall thought of chiropractic being just for back pain, giving patients educated choices on health care. Through the practice, they can put this passion and drive for chiropractic and promote health and wellness into the community. Monya and Chae Tracy have been delivering chiropractic care since 2003 and have worked in a clinical chiropractic setting, successfully providing chiropractic care for many people. Our personal experience in student clinic, out-patient clinic and working for two successful chiropractors in Austin has given us the opportunity to learn the chiropractic health care business thoroughly. In addition to our past experience we pledge to continue our education by attending numerous seminars throughout the year to better serve our patients and their families by continuously learning the latest in chiropractic technique and philosophy. |

Dr. Monya M. Tracy Member: ACA, ICA, TCA, Rotary Club, Dripping Springs Chamber of Commerce Dr. Monya was born and raised in San Angelo, Texas and is able to brag that she has one of the largest families in Texas although she was an only child. Family, friends and God are the most important things in her life and she works hard every day at strengthening her relationships with all three. Dr. Monya went to under-grad at Angelo State University where she received the 90 hours of prerequisite studies in order to attend Parker College of Chiropractic. While attending Parker she received her bachelors in anatomy and was active as the student body representative for her class and volunteered her time for the Kids Day America events and educated the public about chiropractic at the State Fair each year. Parker is where she met the love of her life and partner in Chiropractic. Dr. Monya's passion is helping children. During under-grad she worked at the local hospital in the birthing center and on the pediatric floor where she gained great experience with infants and children. As a child Dr. Monya had many health challenges that included very frequent ear infections that lead to her having tubes put in her ears and taking so many antibiotics she actually became immune to one. She has seen how chiropractic can help children with the same types of problems she had without drugs or surgery and wants to spread this message to as many parents as possible. In her free time Dr. Monya enjoys spending time with her husband and her family. She loves to be outdoors doing anything from grilling and throwing washers to floating the Frio River as well as fishing, camping, biking, working in the yard, playing golf and spreading the message of Chiropractic! Dr. C. Chae Tracy Member: ACA, ICA, TCA, Lions Club, Dripping Springs Chamber of Commerce Dr. Chae discovered chiropractic as a child for various sports related injuries with great results. It was not until a friend and chiropractic student introduced him once again to chiropractic and the possibility of pursuing it as a career. He was very excited about where the profession was going and the people's lives that had been changed by chiropractic. He applied to Parker College of Chiropractic and was awarded a scholarship to attend. It was then time to return to a smaller town and begin practicing and sharing chiropractic with others in Dripping Springs, Tx. Dr. Chae's primary focus is family wellness with an emphasis on specific correction of the atlas and the body's proper posture. In his downtime, Dr. Chae enjoys playing golf, fishing, biking, camping, hunting and spending quality time with his family. He very much enjoys the outdoors and escapes whenever possible.

Born and raised in central California , I grew up coming out here to Texas with my dad who is also a chiropractor and big influence on my path to becoming a chiropractor. I remember coming out here and telling my dad, “One day I am gonna come to Texas and be a chiropractor” and here I am now and am excited to be here in Dripping Springs in this amazing office. I attended Palmer West Chiropractic College in San Jose , Ca. After chiropractic college I went back home to Fresno to work in my fathers office for a while and decided to head down to San Diego . The last year I worked as a chiropractor in sunny San Diego and had a great experience and even got to do a little surfing! Texas was calling and now here I am and am so excited to meet all of you! |
