Just over Highway 68 from Salinas, New Beginnings Chiropractic is an easy trip for the heart of the Salinas Valley. Many of our Salinas neighbors do physically demanding work in the fields, packing houses, and warehouses — and the repetitive lifting, bending, and twisting takes a real toll over time.
Whether you’re dealing with back pain, sciatica, overuse and repetitive-strain injuries, Drs. Richard and Cynthia Westbrook start with a thorough exam, explain what they find in plain English, and build a plan focused on getting you back to feeling — and working — like yourself.
Salinas is the heart of the Salinas Valley — the 'Salad Bowl of the World' — and a lot of our Salinas neighbors do physically demanding work in the fields, packing houses, and warehouses. That repetitive lifting, bending, and twisting takes a real toll on the back, shoulders, and nerves, and we focus on finding the actual cause rather than just chasing the pain.
It's an easy run over Highway 68 to our Monterey office, where Drs. Richard and Cynthia Westbrook bring more than 80 years of combined experience and gentle, low-force care. We explain things in plain English, build a plan with a finish line, and welcome new patients with our $47 New Patient Special. Se habla español.
“We have been seeing Dr Westbrooke since 2019 and she has helped us so very much. Mike is a plumbing contractor and getting regular adjustments and Shockwave treatments has made his life so much better. We now go every Thursday and what a difference it has made for the best. You can feel the love and care that she gives. So big thanks to the Doctors ❤️ Mike and Katie Mullnix.”

“I’ve been seeing Dr(Richard) Westbrook for about 25 yrs. My go-to for injuries, maintenance, and great conversation . Also to keep my immune system up. A true partner in healing. I mean the guy even “walked me through” menopause pretty much unscathed which is quite a recommendation. And is also now my partner in aging well. I think his work has been one of the reasons I’m upright, and look and feel younger than most 75 yr olds ( who don’t exercise regularly .)
If you need someone to truly listen to
you and heal and help you feel better he’s by far the best.”

“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.”
