Dr. Gary

Dr. Gary Helmstetler, has been practicing chiropractic for 23 years and a native of New Mexico. He attended New Mexico State University and earned 2 Bachelor of Science degrees: one in Chemistry and one in Human Anatomy and Physiology. After college, he worked as a chemist at White Sands test facility for NASA and Lockheed Aerospace. He states, “My time at NASA was very rewarding in many ways. Our team was responsible for analyzing the safety of all items being utilized by the space station, space shuttle, and nuclear submarines for air toxicity aimed to prevent the astronauts from unsafe chemical exposure.”  

After a major accident that he discovered the healing power of chiropractic. He sustained a neck injury and in desperation went to a chiropractor. “Six treatments later I was back in the gym; chiropractic literally gave me my life back!”  He had discovered his purpose and eventually attended Parker College of Chiropractic in Dallas, Texas. Upon graduation he joined a medical practice at RHD Hospital and served as the director of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation for 14 years. “Clinically, I was exposed to complex cases that far exceeded normal chiropractic training.  It was difficult to convince them to let me on board as a chiropractor in a hospital setting, but I was eager to take my skill set into an arena that would make an impact. This was an incredible experience that made me into the clinician that I am today. My primary focus is in re-establishing normal neuro-muscular function utilizing a wide range of traditional chiropractic techniques.” 

He is an avid windsurfer. His love for the sport has led him to travel to many windsurfing destinations, but, “Hawaii has something that has drawn me back over and over. The inner beauty of the people and mentality of Hawaii is like no other. My soul resonates to the islands.”
