About Dr. Thelma Cockrell

Dr. Thelma Cockrell became a chiropractic advocate after an injury to her low back and pelvis started to interfere with her family life and her daily activities. She was not interested in sitting at home taking medication. A friend recommended that she see her chiropractor and not only did that referral get her out of pain and in better health, it changed the direction of her life in the most fulfilling way.

While attending Texas Chiropractic College, Dr. Cockrell obtained her license as a registered message therapist. After graduating in 1995, she worked for her chiropractic mentor for six years before opening her own practice. She has been in practice for thirteen years. She has treated many patients of all ages in her family practice.


Dr. Cockrell is a native Texan and a dedicated mother of two. In 2007, she decided to sell her practice and work part-time at Marshall Back & Body Wellness Center in order to spend more time with her children. She is an avid runner and enjoys running marathons, travel, yoga, and spending time with her family.
