Meet Andrew
Business Operations Director/ Co-Owner
Andrew Arevalo is a Steam Technician and has been with Atlas Copco for the past five years. As a licensed electrician by trade, he brings strong problem-solving skills and hands-on expertise to everything he does, taking pride in keeping things running smoothly—qualities that carry into his role supporting Bayshore Chiropractic and Wellness.
Born and raised in the same community Bayshore serves, Andrew began working in local plants at just 18 years old. Through those experiences, he saw firsthand how physically demanding work can take a toll on the body, which shaped his appreciation for proactive health and recovery. That perspective led him to chiropractic care himself, where he experienced the benefits of consistent, quality treatment.
Andrew also enjoys heavy lifting and has a background in strongman training, which fuels his passion for strength, recovery, and overall wellness.
Today, Andrew brings a genuine, people-first mindset to Bayshore Chiropractic and Wellness. Alongside his wife, Dr. Elyssa Molina-Arevalo, he is passionate about building something meaningful and giving back to the community that raised them.
Outside of the clinic, Andrew enjoys playing Pokémon, trying new hobbies and foods, and going to Astros games.
Our story
Dr. Elyssa Molina-Arevalo and her husband, Andrew Arevalo, share a deep love for the community they were both born and raised in. After years of education, career experience, and personal growth, they felt called to build something meaningful in the place that shaped them.
Andrew began working in the plants at just 18 years old, where he saw firsthand how physically demanding work can take a toll on the body. Watching coworkers and friends struggle with pain and declining quality of life gave him a strong appreciation for the importance of proactive health and recovery. Through those experiences, he became a regular chiropractic patient himself and developed a deep respect for the impact that quality care can have on someone’s daily life.
As Dr. Molina continued growing in her career as a chiropractor, the two began envisioning what it would look like to bring modern, patient-centered care back to their hometown. With Dr. Molina’s clinical knowledge and passion for helping others, combined with Andrew’s people-focused mindset and business background, they decided to pursue that vision together. The name “Bayshore” honors Galveston Bay, the place that has always been home.
