Dr. Cynthia Westbrook, D.C.

Doctor of Chiropractic

For as long as I can remember I have loved people, animals and nature. Living in and serving the people of the Monterey Peninsula for over 20 years is a continual blessing. I bring this passion to my work as a Doctor of Chiropractic. In our office you will experience genuine warmth, caring, expertise and results. The warmth and caring come from my heart and the expertise comes from many years of dedication, hard work and continuing education.

My journey began in high school with a fascination of the human body. It continued at Humbolt State University where I received a bachelors degree in nutrition in 1979. From there I went on to complete two years of pre-med studies with a focus on biology, zoology and physics. In 1986, I was accepted into Palmer College of Chiropractic-West, in San Jose, California. Upon graduation in 1990, I went into private practice with my husband, Dr. Richard Westbrook. Each year I take re-licensing and advanced technique courses to keep current on the latest developments in the field. The adjusting technique I use is called “Activator Methods.” This advanced instrument adjusting technique is both gentle and effective.

A Healthy Lifestyle

The Monterey Peninsula has been home to my wonderful husband and partner, Dr. Richard Westbrook, my beautiful daughters, Lauren and Angela and myself since 1991. I’ve always loved the great outdoors and there is no better place for me to enjoy it than here! I love taking long walks with our dog, Cocoa, through the forest and along the magnificent stretches of beach. I also enjoy taking ballet classes at the Carmel Academy of Performing Arts and I have been a member of the Professional Women’s Network for over 18 years. My entire family (Cocoa too) gets regular Chiropractic adjustments as a part of a healthy lifestyle. Every day I thank God for the privilege of living, working and giving to this wonderful community.
