Get to know Chiropractor Dr. Carlos M. Gonzalez, who serves patients in El Paso, Texas.

A highly rated premier chiropractor, Dr. Gonzalez is one of the world’s leading authorities on pain relief and inversion therapy. Having been in private practice in El Paso, Texas for over three decades, he is known for his expertise in preventing, diagnosing, and treating conditions related to the neuromusculoskeletal system. 

“I want to be your “go to source” for natural health & wellness techniques and tips on natural pain relief, disease prevention, weight loss, fitness, and much more so you can live a happier, healthier and pain free productive life!” 

With a commitment to enhancing patients’ functionality and quality of life, Dr. Gonzalez addresses a wide range of conditions, including whiplash, disc herniations, sciatica, neck and lower back pain, as well as various joint and arthritis pain issues. His approach to reducing and eliminating discomfort involves a holistic approach, incorporating spinal decompression, massage, targeted stretches, spinal alignments, and empowering patients with self-care home therapy techniques.

From a young age, Dr. Gonzalez harbored aspirations of becoming a brain or heart surgeon, driven by a deep desire to save lives and aid people in need. His path took a different turn after several years in the military, during which he served at the renowned Wilford Hall Medical Center in San Antonio. It was there that he became disillusioned with the healthcare and medical field, witnessing an overreliance on drugs and surgery. The sight of young soldiers undergoing unnecessary surgeries and being heavily medicated left a lasting impact.

Upon leaving the Air Force, Dr. Gonzalez experienced a severe back injury. It was during this period that he crossed paths with a chiropractor while participating in a Dale Carnegie class. The chiropractor swiftly identified the issue with his back and offered treatment at a reduced student rate. Dr. Gonzalez was astounded by the remarkable improvement in his condition after just one session. As he continued with additional treatments, he underwent a transformation, feeling rejuvenated and pain-free. It was this transformative experience that ultimately led him to embrace chiropractic care as his calling, allowing him to assist others through a drug-free, all-natural approach to wellness.

Graduating with his Doctor of Chiropractic Degree from Parker College of Chiropractic, Dr. Gonzalez has taken numerous post graduate courses on subjects such as orthopedics, spinal trauma, whiplash, accident reconstruction, pediatrics, sports injuries, and more. 

On a professional level, he is a member of the Texas Chiropractic Association, which supports, protects, and advances Doctors of Chiropractic in the state of Texas. 

Chiropractic is a form of alternative medicine that mainly deals with the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine. A chiropractor uses spinal adjustments, manipulation, and other techniques to manage patients’ health concerns, including neck pain, back pain, headaches, vertigo and a long list of other ailments and conditions. They aim to improve patients’ functionality and quality of life by properly aligning the body’s musculoskeletal structure and enabling the body to heal itself naturally, without the use of medication or surgery. 

Beyond his clinical practice, Dr. Gonzalez is actively engaged in teaching and speaking engagements. He educates his patients through mini-classes and employs social media platforms to reach a wider audience, sharing knowledge on safe and effective methods of healing the body, as opposed to merely masking problems with prescription drugs. He is also a sought-after speaker at conferences and meetings, where he imparts his expertise to fellow professionals and individuals seeking better ways to achieve holistic health.

Driven by an unwavering commitment to continuous improvement and excellence, Dr. Gonzalez attributes his success to proactively seeking the best possible outcomes for his patients.

Beyond his career, he is a dedicated father to two children. Dr. Gonzalez leads an active lifestyle, engaging in a diverse range of hobbies and sports. These include reading, writing, and researching, as well as preparing healthy and delicious meals. He also enjoys tennis, ping-pong, golf, badminton, volleyball, archery, jet-skiing, swimming, scuba diving, snorkeling, boating, hiking, and the serene indulgence of hot springs. When it comes to relaxation, he finds solace in the tranquility of beaches and the beauty of mountains during his favorite vacation getaways.
