History

Established in 1977.

Texas Back Institute was established in 1977. Dr. Stephen Hochschuler and Dr. Ralph Rashbaum were both in the United States Air Force and were stationed in Wichita Falls in 1971. During this time, both men saw a number of their patients suffering from various types of back pain all being diagnosed and treated as if they had the same exact problem. Both doctors knew that there had to be more options for patients with back pain. In 1977, they reconnected in Dallas and developed their vision by creating a new model for helping patients conquer back and neck pain: an integrated multispecialty spine clinic that included prevention, conservative care, surgical care, rehabilitation and research and development. Dr. Richard Guyer joined the practice in 1982 as the third founding partner. Working together with a comprehensive team the doctors at Texas Back Institute help patients get back to enjoying life.
