In March, Dr. Faith Wilson opened her own clinic in League City, where she provides pain relief and spinal corrections through chiropractic care. 

The approach: As a chiropractor, Wilson said she takes pressure off nerves by adjusting the spine. During a patient’s first visit, she’ll talk with them before doing a full orthopedic and neurological exam, as well as X-rays of the patient’s spine. While pain relief often happens in the first visit, Wilson said it can take up to 18-24 visits for a patient to be fully corrected. 

More details: Additionally, Wilson said she loves treating infants and toddlers. She said some of the benefits of pediatric chiropractic care include restoring range of motion, reducing discomfort, and improving digestion, feeding and constipation.

A historic 20-story downtown Houston building has officially been renamed and dedicated after the late U.S. Rep and former Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner on Dec. 17.

The gist: ​​​​​The Harris County Sylvester Turner Administration building is located at 1010 Lamar St., Houston, and houses Harris County’s Department of Economic Equity and Opportunity and will be the future site for members of the Harris County Attorney’s Office, according to county officials.

Quote of note: Members of Sylvester Turner’s family attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony alongside both the city of Houston and Harris County officials. His daughter Ashley Turner Captain said her father took a lot of pride working with the county.

“Thank you all so much for voting unanimously to honor my dad in this way by naming a building after him,” Captain said. “You know, he took a lot of pride in working closely with the county. That wasn't by accident. He really did feel like we needed to work together as the city of Houston and Harris County.”
