Meet Dr. Mario Garcia
From Cuba to Chiropractic Care
Dr. Garcia’s path to becoming a chiropractor began with his family’s move from Pinar del Río, Cuba, to South Florida. After completing undergraduate studies at Miami Dade Community College, he transferred to the University of Florida to study biochemistry on a pre-med track. Originally planning for a career in dentistry, everything changed when a family member introduced Dr. Garcia to chiropractic care.
“My grandfather began receiving chiropractic treatments to relieve spinal pain caused by severe arthritis. My family and I were extremely impressed with the results in a short period of time.” Witnessing these changes firsthand left a lasting impression on Dr. Garcia and inspired him to shift his focus to chiropractic medicine.
Educational Foundation and Professional Experience
Dr. Garcia earned his Doctor of Chiropractic from Texas Chiropractic College, where he excelled in areas such as manual therapy, physical therapy, physical examination, and radiology. He also served as a teaching assistant in motion palpation and applied kinesiology, earning certification in the latter.
Over the course of more than 30 years in practice, Dr. Garcia has worked in Florida, Texas, and Illinois, caring for adults, children, athletes, and expectant mothers. His experience spans both family wellness and injury-related cases, making him well-versed in a wide range of patient needs and conditions.
A Focus on Corrective Care
Today, Dr. Garcia specializes in corrective care, which he views as the most effective way to address the root cause of pain and dysfunction. At Buchar Family Chiropractic, he emphasizes that chronic poor posture often contributes to degenerative arthritis, one of the leading causes of disability in adults over 50 in the United States. In his professional opinion, arthritis can be both preventable and manageable through consistent corrective care.
Life Beyond the Office Walls
When he’s not serving patients, Dr. Garcia enjoys an active lifestyle. He has been passionate about bodybuilding for over three decades and often spends time in the gym. He also enjoys hunting, fishing, and attending concerts, theater shows, and cultural events in and around Chicago.
