Early Career Background
Dr. Brittany Hines, D.C. started working in chiropractic in 2002, in Waco, Texas, while going to college part-time. She knew nothing about chiropractic and thought it was a luxury, like massage, that most people couldn’t afford.

As she continued working there, she saw all of the amazing results and healing that took place, and she wondered why no one had told her or her family about chiropractic. A move to Denton, Texas would take her out of chiropractic and into administration for a home health agency. She then realized that she missed the patient interaction and was passionate about helping people get healthier, through chiropractic care, instead of working in the sick-care system.

​

She moved to Austin, Texas, where she met her mentor, Dr. Michael Kapsner, D.C., whom she worked with for 3 years. He helped her become a Certified Chiropractic Assistant and encouraged her to pursue her doctorate. Coincidentally, one of the most prestigious chiropractic schools in the country, Parker University, was in Dallas, where she grew up and where most of her family still resides.

​

She completed her BS in Anatomy, her BS in Health and Wellness and her Doctorate in Chiropractic at Parker University. She has a passion for spinal correction, which she learned from another mentor, Dr. Kelly Cato-Hernandez, D.C., during her internship at the CLEAR Scoliosis Institute. She also has a passion for teaching people how to be as healthy as possible through taking care of the nervous system, getting proper nutrition, exercise, and detoxification.

​

Dr. Hines has a passion for helping people achieve their goals so that they can truly serve their purpose in life, just as she is able to do on a daily basis at Ahead of the Curve Chiropractic.

About Ahead of the Curve Chiropractic Austin

Dr. Hines started Ahead of the Curve Chiropractic in Dallas, in 2012. Though she had been born there, she had always seen herself settling down in Austin, "the most beautiful city in Texas." She purchased Shannan Chiropractic in 2022, a family practice run by father Dr. George Shannan for 60 years and son, Dr. Mark Shannan, and rebranded it under its new name, Ahead of the Curve Chiropractic Austin. 

 

Dr. Brittany felt honored to have been hand-picked to continue the Shannan's family legacy in a place that has been a healing center for so many Austinites through the decades! Dr. Hines had been utilizing instrument adjusting AND Standard Process Nutritional Supplements (the very best on the market) since she started practicing, just as the Shannans had, so it seemed like a perfect fit!

 

Though Dr. Hines employs some more active and "new-school" chiropractic techniques, she has been pleased to continue to keep the previous Shannan Chiropractic patients well-adjusted and well-taken care of.
