Dr. Ryan Gutierrez
Chiropractor
Meet Dr. Ryan Gutierrez, Chiropractor
Dr. Ryan Gutierrez was born and raised in Raton, New Mexico, and his passion for chiropractic care began at just 11 years old. After a sledding accident left him with a dislocated bone in his foot, a local chiropractor realigned it—and Dr. Ryan was instantly pain-free. That experience sparked a lifelong desire to help others heal naturally through chiropractic care.
Dr. Ryan attended New Mexico State University, earning his Bachelor of Science in Biology with a Minor in Chemistry. While at NMSU, he met his wife, Heather, and the two were married in 2002. He went on to earn his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, graduating in 2007. During his time at Palmer, he served as Vice President of the Activator Club and achieved Advanced Proficiency Rating in Activator Methods, a distinction he has held since 2006.
After graduation, Dr. Ryan and Heather opened Family First Chiropractic in Las Cruces, New Mexico, where they served their community for 18 wonderful years. Dr. Ryan was voted the Best Chiropractor in Las Cruces, NM from 2021-2025. In 2025, they brought their experience, passion, and family-centered care to St. Augustine, Florida, opening Full Bloom Chiropractic.
Dr. Ryan is committed to ongoing education and advanced chiropractic techniques. He holds certifications in Facial Movement Taping Levels 1 & 2 through RockTape, as well as Webster Technique and Perinatal Certification through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA). His goal is to help patients of all ages—from newborns to adults—live healthier, happier, and more active lives.
When he’s not caring for patients, you can find Dr. Ryan enjoying the outdoors—riding mountain bike trails, relaxing at the beach, or spending time with his dog, Lilly.
Heather Gutierrez
Office Manager
Heather Gutierrez was raised in Phoenix, Arizona, and moved to Las Cruces, New Mexico, to attend New Mexico State University, where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education. During her first semester at NMSU, she met Dr. Ryan, and the two married the day they graduated.
Before meeting Dr. Ryan, Heather had never been to a chiropractor. She suffered from chronic knee and low back pain and often found herself getting sick. After receiving her first chiropractic adjustment at age 21, her pain disappeared—and with regular care, she rarely became sick again. That experience sparked her passion for chiropractic care and its impact on overall health and wellness.
While Dr. Ryan attended Palmer College of Chiropractic, Heather also enrolled and earned her Associate’s Degree in Chiropractic Technology. Her training and experience allow her to manage both the front and back offices while ensuring every patient feels cared for and informed. Heather loves educating patients about the benefits of chiropractic care for the entire family.
When she’s not at the clinic, Heather enjoys walks on the beach, spending time with their dog Lilly, and exploring new local restaurants.

Katherine D.
After years of seeing other chiropractors and still experiencing daily pain, Dr. Ryan’s technique with the activator brought relief with in the first few visits. Words cannot express the gratitude I have for Dr. Ryan’s knowledge, professionalism and individualized care he provides. Both Dr. Ryan and Heather have created an amazing practice that is welcoming, energetic and family friendly. Both my girls now see Dr.Ryan and enjoy the toys and coloring pages in between our visits. Thank you for helping my body heal so I can feel the relief and freedom it is to be pain free!!
Julia M.
Dr. Ryan is an excellent chiropractor for my three year old son. He respects my son and does everything possible to make him comfortable during his visits. His work with my son has helped us so much while navigating his sensory regulation issues and other health and developmental aspects of his growth! Heather is such a friendly host and is very efficient at helping you make appointments and communicating with you! I would highly recommend Family First Chiropractic to all parents looking for chiropractic care for their children!
Esther B.
Our baby boy was having a lot of stomach issues and fussiness so we took him to Dr. Ryan and our boy was a totally different baby by the third visit! Him and his wife are absolutely amazing! We love family first chiropractic and we definitely recommend them to family and friends!
