Gary Arthur, D.C

Doctor of Chiropractic Gary Arthur om Laguna Beach CA
Doctor of Chiropractic
After losing his father at just 9 years old to multiple health issues, Dr. Gary developed a deep passion for natural healing. In his early 20s, a serious car accident left him with persistent pain, and a year later, mercury poisoning from dental work caused debilitating symptoms including fatigue, rapid weight gain, hair loss, and a grayish skin tone. A nutritionist helped him begin healing through detox and nutrition, but his pain remained. Seeking a lasting solution, he turned to chiropractic care—and with encouragement from his wife, Dr. Lisa, made the commitment that changed his life and his spine forever.
Originally on track to become a Naturopathic Doctor, Dr. Gary chose chiropractic when California didn’t license naturopaths, knowing it would allow him to offer more comprehensive care. In 2018, he earned his ND degree from a non‒accredited school to deepen his knowledge and integrate the latest naturopathic techniques into his practice. Dr. Gary’s personal journey fuels his dedication to root‒cause, integrative care that helps patients achieve lasting health.
