About Espinoza Chiropractic

Dr. Espinoza graduated from Parker University of Chiropractic in 1995 with his Doctorate of Chiropractic. His career spans decades of clinical experience:

• Espinoza Chiropractic Concepts Ltd., LLP (2010–Present) — President

Dr. Maria Santos founded Sunrise Chiropractic in 2009 after seeing too many patients told their only option was surgery or a lifetime of medications. She knew there was a better way.

With dual board certifications in sports chiropractic and functional neurology, Dr. Santos brings a uniquely comprehensive approach to patient care. She’s treated everyone from professional athletes to grandparents, always with the same goal: get to the root cause and create lasting results.

Dr. Santos completed her postdoctoral training at the Carrick Institute for Graduate Studies and is a Certified Chiropractic Sports Practitioner (CCSP) through the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians.

Outside the clinic, she’s an avid trail runner and yoga practitioner — so she truly understands the athlete’s mindset and the desire to stay active. She lives in Mission Hills with her husband, two kids, and a very energetic golden retriever named Mango.

Dr. Abiel Gonzalez is a born and raised Houstonian who brings a unique combination of sports medicine expertise and chiropractic care to Espinoza Chiropractic in Austin, TX.

Before relocating to Austin, Dr. Gonzalez practiced as a sports chiropractor in The Woodlands, TX, specializing in sports injuries and exercise physiology. He graduated from The University of Houston at Clear Lake with a B.S. in Fitness and Human Performance, then attended Texas Chiropractic College where he earned both a B.S. in Human Biology and his Doctorate of Chiropractic degree.

During his final year of clinical training, Dr. Gonzalez was selected as a chiropractic intern for the Rice University Athletic Department — a testament to his skill in treating competitive athletes. He also served as medical staff advisor for Nike SPARQ Football Combines, treating and preventing sports injuries in high school athletes across Texas.

Dr. Gonzalez holds his diplomat as a CCSP (Certified Chiropractic Sports Practitioner) and worked as a certified personal trainer for three years before entering chiropractic school. He is certified and licensed through the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners and the Texas Board of Chiropractic Examiners.

Whether you’re a professional athlete, weekend warrior, or recovering from an everyday injury, Dr. Gonzalez combines his background in fitness, exercise physiology, and chiropractic to develop treatment plans that get you back to peak performance.

Dr. James Chen joined Sunrise Chiropractic in 2015 and quickly became a patient favorite for his intuitive hands-on approach and calm, reassuring manner. He has a special gift for connecting with patients who’ve had bad experiences with healthcare in the past.

A certified Active Release Technique (ART®) provider, Dr. Chen excels at treating soft tissue injuries — the kind that traditional chiropractic alone doesn’t fully address. His treatment sessions often combine spinal adjustments, ART, and instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) for comprehensive results.

Dr. Chen is also certified in functional movement taping (RockTape FMT) and incorporates kinesiology taping into his treatment when appropriate. He has extensive experience with prenatal chiropractic care and the Webster Technique.

When not in the clinic, Dr. Chen coaches his son’s Little League team and is an amateur home chef who believes strongly in the connection between nutrition and health.

Dr. John J. Madden graduated from Parker University in January 2002 and brings over 20 years of experience in the wellness industry, including chiropractic, nutrition, exercise, functional wellness, functional neurology, and functional endocrinology.

Dr. Madden has completed extensive post-graduate training across multiple specialties:

Structural Correction: Chiropractic BioPhysics, Clear Institute, Precision Spinal Correction, and Pettibon

Functional Neurology: American Functional Neurology Group/Trigenics under Dr. Andy Barlow

Nutrition & Functional Endocrinology: Apex Energetics, CellCore Biosciences, Wellness Way, Health Centers of the Future, Systemic Formulas, and Standard Process

Personal Injury: PI Beast Camp and Collum Seminars for documentation education and extremity adjusting

His introduction to chiropractic began after his brother’s own life-transforming experience with chiropractic care as a child. Over 20+ years of practice, Dr. Madden has witnessed what many patients call “chiropractic miracles” — from people with severe pelvic and lower back pain gaining flexibility and relief, to patients finally becoming free of debilitating migraines, to breathing problems improving and allowing for more activity.

As Dr. Madden explains: “The nervous system controls and regulates all healing in the body through the spine, so it is vitally important to keep the spine functioning optimally.”

Dr. Madden’s holistic approach goes beyond pain relief — he helps patients reach optimal health naturally, without drugs or surgery.

Sarah Kim has been a licensed massage therapist for over 10 years, spending the last 6 of them at Sunrise Chiropractic. She is beloved by patients for her exceptional technique and her ability to find and release tension patterns that have been building for years.

As a Certified Lymphedema Therapist (CLT), Sarah offers a level of expertise rarely found in chiropractic offices. She integrates lymphatic drainage techniques into her sessions when appropriate, particularly helpful for post-surgical patients and those with chronic inflammation.

Sarah’s approach is simultaneously therapeutic and relaxing — she believes that the best healing happens when the body feels safe and at ease. Her sessions are customized to each patient’s needs on that particular day, always listening to the body’s signals.

Sarah practices yoga and meditation daily and brings a mindful, holistic philosophy to everything she does. She grew up in Chula Vista and is proud to serve the San Diego community.
