Dr. Sean Forbes, D.C.

Doctor of Chiropractic

From Service to Healing in the Heart of Texas

Born in San Diego but raised right here in Austin, Dr. Sean Forbes has deep roots in Central Texas. Growing up, soccer kept him active and connected to his community, but his path of service took him even further. After high school, he joined the United States Army, where he served as a chaplain’s assistant and combat engineer. Over six years of honorable service—including a tour of duty in Afghanistan—he rose to the rank of Sergeant. That experience shaped his discipline, resilience, and lifelong commitment to serving others.

Building a Career in Health and Healing

After completing his military service, Dr. Sean turned his focus to health and human performance. He earned a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Sport Science from Texas State University, where he specialized in working with clinical populations. His passion for helping people live healthier, more adaptable lives led him to Parker University in Dallas, where he earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree.

A Background Rooted in Service

Before becoming a chiropractor, Dr. Martinez served in high-stakes healthcare settings—working as a paramedic, technical rescuer, and pediatric primary care provider. He even taught emergency medicine to EMTs and paramedics. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Bio-Psychology from Appalachian State University and earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic.

Beyond Austin, his passion for service has taken him on healthcare relief trips to Haiti and to his family’s clinic in Mexico—experiences that shaped his patient-first approach to care.

Life in South Austin

For Dr. Sean, Austin isn’t just home—it’s where he feels most alive. Whether he’s at a live show, exploring the outdoors, or floating down the Guadalupe River with his dog Tucker, he embodies the South Austin lifestyle. He’s always up for camping, hiking, or just enjoying time with friends.

That balance of professional care and love for community is what drives him. Through chiropractic, Dr. Sean helps families reduce stress, restore function, and experience more of what makes life in Austin great.
