Adriana Luna Carlos sits down with Dr. Cesar Quintana, founder of Vida Chiropractic Las Vegas, to explore his powerful story of service, culture, and healing.
From his childhood helping his parents manage local apartment buildings to building a thriving practice rooted in compassion and five-star hospitality, Dr. Quintana shares how his upbringing shaped his purpose: to bring high-quality, holistic chiropractic care to the Latino and underserved communities of Las Vegas.
He breaks down the four pillars of wellness he teaches every patient — physical, emotional, chemical, and spiritual health — and explains how mindset, movement, and faith are all connected in healing the body. The conversation dives into what makes the Gonstead Method unique, how his clinic blends art, culture, and community, and why service remains at the heart of everything he does.
Plus, don’t miss the lighthearted “Myth or Fact” segment where Dr. Quintana tackles common chiropractic misconceptions — from “is it only for back pain?” to “do chiropractors really crack bones?”
This episode is part inspiration, part education, and a reminder that true wellness starts with how we care for others.
