From Dr. Antonio

“We’re told that migraines, headaches, back pain, or other ailments are a normal part of life. We’re told that illnesses and diseases like frequent colds and flus, diabetes, autoimmunities, cancer, ADD and ADHD, and heart disease can only be managed with medicine, sometimes for the rest of our lives.

Im Dr. Antonio Rivera and I’m here to tell you that there’s a better way. When our bodies are allowed to supply proper nerve function through spinal alignment along with proper nutrition, exercise and detoxification we’re able to achieve and maintain optimal health—true health the way we’re created to have. We do not have to be dependent upon medicine to feel “normal” nor do we have to believe that sickness and illness are a normal part of life. As the owner and founder of Life By Design Chiropractic, it’s my mission to help you and your family achieve optimal health and to help educate you and your community that true health, energy, focus and passion is possible. We’re happy to have you as part of the Life By Design Chiropractic family and we cant wait to hear from you.”

Yossy Zelaya

Patient Care Tech Specialist

I’m Yossy, I was born in Honduras, Central America, and my life’s journey began with a move to the United States at the age of 14. This transition shaped me into the person I am today resilient, adaptable, and grateful.

As I navigate life’s twists and turns, I find joy in the simple things: sharing laughter and memories with loved ones, experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, and using my bilingual skills to connect with others. My love for learning drives me to continually seek out new experiences, knowledge, and personal growth.

My professional path has led me to Life by Design Chiropractic , where l’ve discovered a true passion for helping others achieve wellness and balance in their lives. I’m dedicated to my work and constantly seek opportunities to expand my understanding of natural health and wellness.

Through my journey, l’ve come to realize that life is about connection, growth, and purpose. I strive to live each day with intention, compassion, and a willingness to learn and evolve.
