Your First Visit to Our Monterey Practice

On your first visit, which takes about an hour, we will have you fill out a health history form for the doctor to review. This gives us an idea as to how we can address existing health issues before deciding on a treatment plan.

We will also have you read some pamphlets to give you a better understanding of chiropractic care. The doctor will then review the forms you filled out with you, collecting detailed information about your health history. We will move on to do an examination. Our testing includes range of motion and muscle function, while looking for swelling or inflammation, and correlating these to other symptoms in the body. We provide thermal and electromyogram scans that read the muscle tension and nervous system interference along your spine.

At this point, the doctor will need some time to review the examination findings, and we will set up a report of findings appointment for you.

Dr. Westbrook Asks some important questions of interest to Monterey residents - Chiropractor Monterey Dr. Westbrook Asks...

Why does chiropractic work?
Chiropractic works because your nervous system, consisting of your brain, spinal cord and all the nerves of your body, controls and regulates every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body. A chiropractor locates and reduces areas of nervous system compromise (usually along the spine) so your capacity to heal is restored. Chiropractic works by helping your body work as it was designed.
How do most people deal with vertebral subluxations?
First, they try to ignore them. When they don't, they go to the medicine cabinet to stop their brain from feeling the symptom. Later, back surgery may be threatened. Sadly, it's not until this later stage that they consult our Monterey chiropractic office. Yet, even with the delay, most are delighted by the results produced by today's chiropractic care.
