Dr. Nathan Nguyen was raised in Orange County, California and attended the University of California, San Diego to complete his Bachelor of Science in Human Biology. During his time there, he was part of a hip-hop dance team, and one time during a routine, he felt a sharp pain in his low back that left him unable to sit in class. He did not think anything of it and suffered with the pain for months. The pain went away eventually, but would resurface on and off. Years later, while working in the biotechnology field and pursuing medical school, he was training for a marathon and, again, injured his low back while putting on a sock; however, this time the pain was much more severe and even shot down into his toes rendering him unable to work, drive, or run. His boss referred him to a Doctor of Chiropractic and within a month, utilizing a diverse treatment plan of joint manipulation, manual therapy, electrotherapy, and rehab exercise, he became pain-free and was able to resume working and training.
Dr. Nguyen had never known about chiropractic before and felt that this was a calling for him to be able to achieve his passion in life in caring for others. He decided to drop his plans of attending medical school to pursue chiropractic school instead. He chose to attend Texas Chiropractic College in Houston, Texas due to its evidence-informed curriculum and graduated with his Doctor of Chiropractic in 2018 as Salutatorian of his class with Summa Cum Laude honors. He also has a passion for exercise and chose to also complete a dual Master of Science in Exercise & Health Sciences at the University of Houston, Clear Lake during his time at Texas Chiropractic College.
Combining both his chiropractic & exercise physiology knowledge, Dr. Nguyen has the ability to care for his patients on another level. Using evidence-informed treatment techniques, nutrition, and exercises, Dr. Nguyen is committed to providing his patients with the best care available to them to get them out of pain fast, help them become stronger, and keep them moving every day of the year. He has experience working in athletic facilities treating baseball & soccer athletes. He has co-managed patients with Doctors of Physical Therapy. He also has experience treating individuals of all ages and managing a wide spectrum of conditions from fractures to sprains, strains & disc injuries.
Outside the office, Dr. Nguyen enjoys time with his spouse, 2 cats, family & friends. He enjoys strength training, hiking, running, cooking, photography and traveling.
