Dr. Joel, D.C.
Chiropractor
Dr. Joel has been helping patients experience better health through chiropractic care since graduating from Parker University in 2015 with a Bachelor's degree in Biology and his Doctor of Chiropractic degree. His passion for chiropractic wasn't inspired by a textbook—it was inspired by his own life.

Growing up in Puerto Rico, Dr. Joel was diagnosed with IBS while he was in high school. Despite visits with multiple healthcare providers, he continued to struggle with digestive symptoms and never felt like he had found the answers he was looking for. Although he wasn't experiencing low back pain, he did have chronic neck discomfort. It wasn't until he visited a chiropractor that imaging revealed a 19-degree curve in his lower back that had gone undetected.

Within just two months of beginning chiropractic care, his IBS symptoms began to improve. For the first time, he experienced what it felt like to have a body that functioned the way it was designed to. That experience changed the course of his life and inspired him to become a chiropractor so he could help others discover that true health is about much more than simply masking symptoms.

Dr. Joel believes the body was created with an incredible ability to heal when the nervous system is allowed to function properly. His philosophy is simple: health comes from the inside out. Rather than focusing only on pain relief, he works to identify the underlying cause of dysfunction so patients can achieve lasting improvements in their health and quality of life.

He has a special passion for caring for entire families—from newborns and children to expectant mothers and grandparents. Whether someone is seeking relief from discomfort or simply wants to live a healthier, more active life, Dr. Joel enjoys partnering with patients through every stage of life. His attention to detail and genuine desire to understand each person's concerns allow him to create care plans that are personalized, thorough, and centered around each patient's goals.

Patients often describe Dr. Joel as fun, caring, and kind. He wants every person who walks into the office to feel safe, heard, and confident that their concerns have been fully addressed. He believes one of the most important parts of healthcare is building trust and creating an environment where patients feel comfortable asking questions and actively participating in their health journey.

Outside the office, family is everything to Dr. Joel. He and his wife have built a blended family with four wonderful children—ages 12, 9, 8, and 4—and all of them have received chiropractic care since birth. They love spending time together swimming, making memories, and enjoying everyday life as a family.

Another lifelong passion of Dr. Joel's is road cycling. Having ridden since he was young, cycling remains one of his favorite ways to stay active. He loves the freedom it brings, the challenge of the ride, and the way it helps him feel young. When he's not in the office or on his bike, you'll likely find him exploring local coffee shops with a white chocolate mocha in hand or enjoying some of his favorite Puerto Rican foods, including arroz con gandules and tostones.

One fun fact that often surprises patients is that English is actually Dr. Joel's second language. Having grown up in Puerto Rico, he understands what it's like to communicate in more than one language and strives to make every patient feel comfortable, understood, and cared for.

Whether you're bringing in your newborn for their first adjustment, navigating the physical changes of pregnancy, or simply looking for a chiropractor who listens and looks beyond symptoms, Dr. Joel looks forward to helping you and your family experience the benefits of chiropractic care and pursue a healthier life—from the inside out.
