About Chiropractic Care
A Natural Path to Lasting Relief & Whole-Body Wellness
Chiropractic care focuses on the relationship between your spine and nervous system — the master control system for your entire body. When the spine is misaligned, it can interfere with how your body moves, heals and feels.
Using gentle, precise adjustments, we relieve pressure on the nerves so your body can function — and heal — the way it was designed to. No drugs. No surgery. Just personalized, hands-on care.
For decades, Dr. Richard and Dr. Cynthia Westbrook have helped the Monterey Bay community live healthier, more active lives. As a husband-and-wife team, they bring warmth, patience and over 80 years of combined experience to every patient who walks through their doors.
Their philosophy is simple: treat every patient like family, educate as they heal, and never settle for masking symptoms when the body can truly recover.
New patients only. Mention this special when you book. The $47 new patient special does not include shockwave treatment.

Patient Reviews

“I have been a patient of Dr. Westbrook’s since 2010. Whenever I need chiropractic care, he is someone I trust completely.
Dr. Westbrook is kind, professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely attentive to his patients’ individual needs. He takes the time to listen and has always made me feel comfortable and cared for. He is also incredibly accommodating with scheduling and has gone out of his way several times to fit me in when I needed an appointment on short notice. That level of care means a great deal to me.
I especially appreciate his approach because I have had experiences with other chiropractors who were too rough and left me feeling nervous and afraid during adjustments. I have never felt that way with Dr. Westbrook. I trust him 100% and always feel that my comfort and safety are important to him. He offers both manual adjustments and the Activator technique, which I also appreciate.
In all the years I have seen him, there was only one occasion when something did not feel quite right after an adjustment. When I contacted him, he got me back into the office right away, addressed the problem, and I left feeling great. That experience actually gave me even more confidence in the level of care he provides.
Dr. Westbrook also has a wonderful personality and sense of humor. He makes you feel at ease while still maintaining a high level of professionalism. I always enjoy seeing him, and I consistently leave my appointments feeling better than when I walked in.
His wife is also a chiropractor in the practice and has always been extremely kind and professional, although I personally see Dr. Westbrook most often. The entire office is clean, comfortable, and inviting, and the front desk staff are always friendly and welcoming. I enjoy their water massage chairs as well!
After knowing the Westbrooks and returning to their practice for more than 15 years, I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for compassionate, professional chiropractic care. Finding a chiropractor you genuinely trust is so important, and I am very grateful to have found that with the Westbrooks.”

“Dr. Richard Westbrook has been my chiropractor for years and years and years. He is great at both providing temporary relief when you are in pain and also helping you prevent future problems. His latest addition to his office is a Shockwave machine, which is an amazing device for treating chronic pain. Be sure to ask him about it!”
