Dr. Michael Gorgas
We provide top quality chiropractic and thyroid care at our Oceanside, California location. We know that successfully managing thyroid disorders takes more than just managing your TSH with thyroid replacement hormones. We take a whole-person approach that factors in hormone imbalance, immune imbalance, adrenal and blood sugar imbalance, and digestive imbalance when formulating our approach for a patient.

We focus on the immune system, the most common mechanism for thyroid disorders in the United States. We use functional lab testing to guide and direct our treatment. This means that your treatment protocol is based off the unique imbalances in YOUR body, not just what the 'typical' thyroid patient has.

My story is a simple one. I awakened at the age of 16 while going into a 7-Eleven to buy a snack. As I guzzled down the coke and munched on a bag of Fritos, I realized that what I was eating had zero nutritional value. From that day forward I decided to eat healthier food. I stopped eating at fast food restaurants and I stopped drinking Cokes.

I suffer from a tail bone injury as well as a "straight neck" (which is typically supposed to be curved). I will require continued chiropractor and massages for maintenance. Dr Gorgas is amazing! I always leave there feeling less stressed and put together! Once you enter their office, you will always be greeted by his amazing staff, they really know how to make you feel welcome, like a family!

Dr. Gorgas changed my life, I cannot thank him enough. I suffered from horrible blinding migraines my whole life, tried every treatment out there and nothing worked until I came to see Dr. G. I have honestly not had a Migraine going on 2 years . Migraines had control of my life but thanks to the adjustments and therapy I am FREE to enjoy life without fear of getting hit with a pounding Migraine.

After just a couple of weeks I can see and feel a differerence in the work he has done and am looking forward to many years of continued care and a healthier lifestyle to keep me active as I want to be. Thank you!

I am not quite sure how this person has so many 5 star reviews. Today I had an appointment which I arrived 15 minutes early for. By 30 minutes past my appointment time, I still had not be seen. The doctor finally appeared from his office with two sales reps, and I thought he would wrap up his meeting and call me to come back. But instead, another patient who likely had an appointment after me and the sales reps all sat down and he began adjusting them while I was still waiting. Finally, I left. I could not believe the lack of respect I was treated with as a new patient. I've been waiting for

I have Hashimoto's and have been given the run-around by different doctors for YEARS now. Many of my previous doctors said the same things: "You just need to sleep more." "But your TSH levels are normal!" "Have you tried an anti-depressant?"... that's why I was so pleased to find Dr. Gorgas, who not only listened to me, but is working diligently with me to treat the underlying problem. I knew I had an autoimmune disorder, but I didn't know what was causing my "flare ups". Dr. Gorgas helped guide me through X-rays, extensive blood work, and

I fully believe in miracles and silver linings. I have been seeing Dr. Gorgas for 2 weeks now and I have never felt better! I searched for a local Chiropractor because the place I currently was going to was closed and I was in so much discomfort. I needed an adjustment so bad, but little did I know, I needed way more than adjustment. I needed a whole body adjustment! I was able to be seen quickly! I felt so welcomed in the office. His secretary Anna is so incredibly sweet! She works hard in that office!
Dr. Gorgas met with me and spent 2 hours with me! I have never had a doctor or Chiropractor

Dr. Gorgas is amazing. He is a gifted chiropractor who REALLY listens to you and help you achieve a pain free healthy life. He educates you on knowing your body and how you can take care of it as a whole being instead of the parts that may be painful at that moment. I brought my whole family because he is very good at what he does.

I just moved to Oceanside, CA. My shoulder was in severe pain and getting worse by the minute, but the weird part was that I had not injured it. The pain was moving in to my neck. Dr Gorgas took an x-ray and found that my atlas bone was twisted and cutting my nerves off causing the pain in my neck/shoulder. He used this technique that I had never had before (and I have seen about 4 chiropractors in my life due to an injury) I reported back to the one chiropractor that I was last seeing and he was amazed by how I recovered in the time frame that Dr Gorgas said that I would and he is now using this

I came across Dr. Michael Gorgas while searching for a chiropractor who would take their time with his patients. My Dad had a really bad fall and ended up fracturing a couple of ribs and was in need of x-rays and an adjustment. On the first visit, Dr. Gorgas took his time with my Dad carefully adjusting, educating, and planning a treatment course personalized for my Dad. I would highly recommend Dr. Gorgas to anyone looking for a chiropractor who really cares for his patients!

Dr. Gorgas has been my primary chiropractor for some time now for myself, kids and family. I could not be happier with the great results. He's has 38yrs of experience adjusting infants to the elderly and he has adjusted my infant and my 6yr old daughter which is great. I don't have to wait more than 15 min. to get adjusted. I have never had a hard time to schedule or reschedule appointment. The receptionist are great and very efficient always so helpful and kind. Very good atmosphere of relaxation.

I've been meaning to see a chiropractor, not due to any injury but just to make sure after years of long hours in the car, at a desk, exercising and playing golf hadn't done too much damage. I read the reviews for Dr. Gorgas and decided to set an appointment. I always equate how much people know by how easily they can explain it to someone who has no idea. Dr. Gorgas took the time and explained exactly how not only my spine but brain and nervous system effect every part of the body. Then after examining me we found out everything was much better than I had originally expected with just

Dr. Gorgas is not only a super knowledgeable and talented chiropractor/wellness practitioner, but he is very caring and goes out of his way to interest himself in the recovery and well being of the patients. I came in there with a lot of back and neck pain about 5 weeks ago, and now I am 90% better and am continuing to work with Dr. Gorgas for the last 10%. His adjustments are effective and tailored to the individual. I HIGHLY recommend him. The staff, Anna and Sulema are amazing people as well, who work tirelessly for the patients. I'm very glad to have found this wonderful chiropractor in my

I’m now a retired chiropractor. A few months ago I had moved here to Oceanside from the San Francisco Bay Area. I myself have needed and received ongoing treatments for chronic low and mid back pain due to many decades of training in the fighting arts.
I was fortunate to have found Dr. Gorgas who initially impressed me with his friendly, yet professional manor; along with observing his willingness to listen, hear and care for his patients I eventually found his technical proficiency and adjusting skills impressive. Since under his care, compared to prior treatments I have received in the past

Dr. Michael Gorgas has been treating my Parkinson's disease for over 2 years. He specializes in nervous system problems and their causes. Dr. Gorgas provides me with nutritional advice, health supplements and the latest information on Parkinson's treatments. Best of all he encourages me to keep fighting. I know my shaking, balance and walking have all improved thanks to Dr. Gorgas. My medical doctor, neurologist and friends with Parkinson's have all commented on how well I am doing. I highly recommend Dr. Gorgas to anyone battling Parkinson's or any other neurological problem

I simply couldn't be more impressed with Dr. Gorgas. I have nothing but great things to say about him and literally trust him with my son's brain.

He did more for my wife in a month or two than her primary care physician and a myriad of "experts" did in two years. (mostly the traditional doctors concluded with "lets try these strong pills with ugly side effects and hope they mask the problem" or "not within my area...try the next guy. I'm sure he can see you in a couple of months").

He's done a lot for me as well, but maybe the most important

I am not sure were to start when explaining how Dr Gorgas changed my life. I have Hasimoto's Disease and after two babies used and abused my body for all they need, I was left with a shell. I bounced between Hyper and Hypto thyroid almost daily and my racked up all the symptoms my body could take. I was totally broken, out of desperation I scheduled an appointment with Dr Gorgas, not sure what to expect. He was compassionate, understanding, detail oriented and was committed to helping me he whole again. He said he could help me feel better in months, I honestly didn't believe him, afterall
