Dr. Nicholas Gomez’s story is not just one of professional achievement but also personal triumph. His journey began at the University of California Merced, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in Public Health in 2017, laying the groundwork for a career dedicated to improving lives of communities. His commitment to health led him to Palmer College of Chiropractic - West, where he received his doctorate in 2022. It was during his last six months there that he completed a clinical clerkship at the Veterans Affairs hospitals of Palo Alto and San Jose, providing chiropractic care to military members and engaging in interdisciplinary rotations with Physical Therapy, Neuroanatomy, Pain Management and Rehabilitation. This diverse experience has been pivotal in shaping his holistic approach to patient care.
Dr. Gomez’s career path changed following a devastating football injury during his undergraduate years where he fractured his femur which subjected him to a lengthy and grueling rehabilitation process. This experience, which involved re-learning to walk twice and navigating the complexities of “western medicine,” ignited a passion for a more empathetic and empowering approach to healthcare. It’s this passion that drives him to help his patients at Sequoia Chiropractic, a clinic he established to embody his philosophy of patient empowerment through education and movement.
Today, Dr. Gomez is not just a chiropractor; he is a mentor and advocate for a life of health and fitness. His goal is to help his patients become their best selves, not just through chiropractic adjustments but through a comprehensive understanding of health and wellness.
