Desert Sun Chiropractic

I have been a patient here for a few months. Dr. Ontiveros is very friendly and professional. My adjustments are quick and easy. The staff is always pleasant and makes sure I am comfortable. I just had an appointment this evening and let me tell you, I feel like a new person. Chiropractic care has been a necessity for me since my first child was born, and it is very hard to find someone who understands exactly what adjustments I need. I am very happy with the experience that I have had at Desert Sun Chiropractic, and I will continue care here as long as I am in El Paso.

Michael Ontiveros has a gift for «fixing» me. Thanks! I have been going for years. I can pop in and pop out in most days without a huge wait.

I’ve had a bad back for years. No doubt the result of a lifetime of former employers climbing onto it, and former girlfriends putting monkeys on it!
I’ve been seeing chiropractors for about five years now, and Dr. O and his staff offer the best overall experience I’ve had.
They maintain a very welcoming, relaxed atmosphere. Beatriz and the other receptionists are always very friendly and personable; Sarah has to be one of the most consistently cheerful people I know (a rarity for office managers to be sure!); and Dr. O has a super chill and calming demeanor. He’s an outstanding listener and receptive to your complaints.
Not only does he do an excellent job of putting my bones back in order, but offers lots of advice in exercises and stretches I can do to mitigate my problems. …perhaps someday I’ll try one of them… (kidding Dr O! If you happen to read this, I’m doing the leg lifts as I type!)
Really, for facility cleanliness, time efficiency, and friendly and competent chiro service– Desert Sun is where it’s at.

I’m very impressed with Dr. Ontiveros and his staff. We took our 10 year old son in for two visits due to a football scrimmage injury and he addressed all of our concerns, was thorough in creating a health care plan and following up at subsequent appointments. A welcoming environment with a knowledge, caring doctor that takes the time to answer our questions, instead of rushing out, has been hard for us to find since we moved here from the greater Seattle area this summer. We are thrilled to have found a dedicated and compassionate team at Desert Sun Chiropractic!

I’ve been to Desert 3x now and see myself going regularly for my adjustments. I’ve been using chiropractors for about 3 years now for my lower back. I’ve seen a variety of different chiropractors over the years due to my frequent moving (Colorado, Texas, Arizona). Every chiropractor is a little different in the types of therapy they utilize. Some are barebones (no pun intended) back pushers, some require X-​rays first, and some have unique ways of adjusting the individual. Desert Sun is probably the best chiro I’ve seen yet. The chiro accommodated my request to avoid initial x-​rays (after first determining that he agree there didn’t appear to be any major health issues that required it, especially when I told him I regularly saw chirps). He did a variety of adjustments (me on my stomach for my back, me on my side, and me on my back for neck adjustment). The way a chiro manually checks each vertebra with delicate but precise fingers is often a good indicator of the quality of the chiro. With a very smooth running operation, a variety of chairs available, Desert Sun chiropractic really takes excellent care of their patients. Its fairly easy to schedule an appointment at last the minute as well. With quality comes higher prices but Desert Sun offers a discount if you pay up front and a military discount.

Dr. Ontiveros is the best chiropractor my wife and I have been to! He always takes the time to listen to his patients and goes above and beyond with the care he provides. I currently practice martial arts and do other physical activities, therefore have acquired injuries over time. He’s shortened recovery time with some of my injuries, specifically sprained ankles and dislocated ribs. The doctor not only is able to adjust my back successfully (without hurting me), but he also offers me strengthening and rehab exercises to compliment the adjustments. My wife was under his care throughout her pregnancy; the adjustments relieved some of her back pain from the pregnancy. He modified her visits as needed and continues to see him after the pregnancy. We also have been taking our son to his office for adjustments since the time he was just a couple months old. He was able to correct his torticollis. We also noticed our son was less colicky after his adjustments; although we cannot confirm if we can give credit to this improvement solely to the adjustments, I’m convinced they at least helped.
The office staff is always very friendly and accommodating; quality of service is important to my wife and I! Overall, I (have and will continue to) recommend this office to others!
