Dr. Asef Maleki is a licensed chiropractor serving patients throughout Albuquerque, New Mexico, and is also licensed in Texas. His career reflects a lifelong commitment to helping people live healthier, pain-free lives.

Before becoming a chiropractor, Dr. Maleki practiced as a physician and Emergency Medicine specialist for more than 20 years. This extensive medical background provides him with exceptional diagnostic skills and a comprehensive understanding of neuromusculoskeletal conditions, allowing him to approach each patient with a broad clinical perspective.

Originally from Iran, Dr. Maleki dreamed of becoming a physician from an early age. He earned his Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree from Isfahan University of Medical Sciences in 1993 and later completed his specialty training in Emergency Medicine. After practicing medicine for two decades, he relocated to the United States, where his passion for natural, patient-centered healthcare inspired him to pursue chiropractic medicine.
He earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree along with a Master of Science in Clinical Neuroscience from Parker University in Dallas, Texas.

Dr. Maleki believes that lasting health comes from treating the underlying cause of pain rather than simply managing symptoms. Every treatment plan is tailored to the individual and may include chiropractic adjustments, spinal manipulation, therapeutic exercises, stretching, posture correction, lifestyle recommendations, and nutritional guidance. His goal is not only to relieve pain but also to improve function, prevent future injuries, and enhance overall quality of life.

Known for his thorough evaluations, careful listening, and compassionate care, Dr. Maleki combines the knowledge gained from conventional medicine with modern chiropractic principles to deliver comprehensive, patient-centered treatment. He is committed to helping patients make informed decisions about their health while achieving long-term wellness through safe, non-surgical care.

After practicing with several chiropractic clinics in Dallas and Albuquerque, Dr. Maleki relocated to Albuquerque in 2023. He founded Paniz Chiro Care LLC and later established Paniz Chiropractic Clinic, where he continues to serve the community with a commitment to high-quality, personalized chiropractic care. He currently provides care from multiple clinic locations in Albuquerque, making chiropractic services more accessible to the community.

As healthcare continues to evolve, Dr. Maleki remains dedicated to lifelong learning. He regularly participates in continuing education, attends professional seminars, and collaborates with colleagues to ensure his patients receive the most effective, evidence-informed, and efficient care available.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Maleki enjoys spending time with his children, supporting his family in Iran, studying, writing poetry, listening to music, and playing the Santur, a traditional Persian musical instrument. He also enjoys soccer, volleyball, basketball, and tennis.

Whether you are experiencing back pain, neck pain, headaches, sports injuries, work-related discomfort, or stress-related muscle tension, Dr. Maleki is committed to helping you move better, feel better, and enjoy a healthier, more active life through personalized chiropractic care.
