GET TO KNOW DR. GIO
Dr. Edgar Giovanni Penado, D.C., known by patients as Dr. Gio, is a bilingual chiropractor dedicated to helping individuals and families move, heal, and live pain-free. Born and raised in Westbury, New York, he brings a unique blend of experience, discipline, and compassion to his practice.
A proud United States Marine Corps veteran, Dr. Gio served during Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom before transitioning into healthcare. His diverse background in mechanical trades, construction, hospitality, oil and gas, and even ranch and veterinary work gave him a deep understanding of the physical demands placed on the body.
His path to chiropractic began after experiencing firsthand the life-changing relief it provided for his own chronic issues. Inspired, he earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Texas Chiropractic College, where he trained alongside his brother, Dr. Blad. He is also board-certified by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners in both chiropractic care and acupuncture.
Clinically, Dr. Gio specializes in spinal and extremity adjustments, disc and nerve conditions, chronic pain management, and functional movement restoration. He combines evidence-based chiropractic care with personalized therapies to help patients regain mobility, improve strength, and achieve long-lasting relief.
Known for his approachable personality and strong community ties, Dr. Gio has become a trusted chiropractor in the Houston/Cypress area. As a Marine Corps veteran, he is passionate about serving fellow veterans, first responders, and individuals with physically demanding careers.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Gio enjoys traveling, cooking, home improvement projects, staying active, and spending quality time with his wife of 18 years and their three children.
GET TO KNOW DR. RYAN
Dr. Ryan Benjamin Manns, D.C. is a dedicated chiropractor with a strong passion for movement, human performance, and patient-centered care. He earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Texas Chiropractic College and holds a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville.
Born the oldest of four siblings, Dr. Manns grew up across the world, living in Illinois, Michigan, Florida, Australia, Venezuela, and Poland. His multicultural upbringing gave him a deep appreciation for diverse people, lifestyles, and the incredible adaptability of the human body.
After completing his chiropractic education in Texas, Dr. Manns spent several years practicing in Alaska, where the rugged and physically demanding environment strengthened his understanding of resilience, recovery, and functional strength. He later returned to the lower 48 to be closer to family and long-time friends.
A lifelong athlete, Dr. Manns has an extensive background in hockey, soccer, swimming, and martial arts. These experiences shaped his clinical approach, helping patients restore movement, prevent injury, rebuild confidence, and perform at their highest potential.
He is committed to continual learning and has completed advanced post-doctorate training in myofascial techniques, soft tissue mobilization, corrective exercise strategies, and acupuncture.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Manns is known for his love of great food, especially anything spicy, and his passion for reading and exploring new ideas related to human health and performance. He thrives on learning, evolving, and helping his patients thrive along with him.
