Chiropractors In Monterey

“Office is responsive and cares about their patients. I always feel better after an adjustment, recommended!“

“The staff is amazing. Anne-Marie is my favorite. Would definitely recommend and I will be back as many times as recommended“

“Dr. Diaz is an excellent doctor!! I had severe back pain after traveling. She got me in right away and was feeling better after the first adjustment! Thank you very much Dr. Diaz!“

“From my first appointment at this office I felt like a part of the family. I started going to Monterey Family Chiropractic because of chronic pain and discomfort in my lower and mid-back. I was extremely happy to find that my insurance was accepted and it would only be $10 out of pocket per visit. I am a caddie and didnt have insurance for a long time, so many ailments began to pile up and back pain was the most reoccurring problem in my life. Also, as a golfer it became impossible to finish 18 holes strongly or not be completely out of commission the next day.

My first visit to the office was anything but a pointless consultation. It was a very thorough and no guess work kind of examination. Dr. Karter Ruiz (or as he likes to be called, Karter) was quick to diagnose almost every issue after looking at my X-Rays, thermographic scans and doing a physical examination. He explained everything that was going on with me very clearly and precisely. Not just my back, but posture and lifestyle choices that can lead to all these problems. He came up with a plan and a clear road map to feeling my best. I started visiting 3x/week. Those sessions saw constant progression. At the end of the first month I felt like a new person. I can't even imagine how much better it would have been if I did all the rotational and strength exercises I should have been doing at home, of which I did very little. Even so, I could golf again and when I came home from work I felt like I could keep going instead of plopping down on the couch for the rest of the night.

I have been to 3 chiropractors offices in the Monterey area. They were all the same, in and out in 3-5 minutes after doing the exact same adjustments which just help for a day. Karter went above and beyond multiple times throughout our 2 months of treatment. I would have a new or extra symptom that day and he would always do what was needed to provide some relief. He really knows his stuff and has a very positive and upbeat attitude every day.

Overall, I just really enjoy the experience from the time I walk in and am greeted by Stephanie or Yadi, to the time the adjustment is over and Karter puts a really nice corrective posture pillow under your head. No rushing you out, just lay there for a few minutes and relax.“

“I came in for repeated lower back strains (5x last year) despite working out with a trainer, going to a chiropractor 2x per month, and getting monthly body work done and Monterey Pelvic Health fixed my lower back pain, addressed my rib flare, fixed my deadlift and squat form, found out my glutes weren't activating so they gave me some workouts to get those firing, taught me I was bracing my core wrong and corrected that, and overall completely changed my life.

They did so much more than I could have asked for and I'll sing their praises until everyone goes and sees them!

I worked with Dr. Byanca and Dr. Kyle to address my repeated lower back strains. During my treatment, they made me feel so comfortable the entire time. Never pushed me to do anything I was uncomfortable doing and asked me how I hurt my back so they could treat things properly, rather than just assume they knew what to do.

With a mix of breathing techniques to engage my core and other movements to use as warmups for the gym, I've been living without lower back pain since I started seeing them during the 2nd week of the year. The pain relief was almost instantaneous (you have to actually do your homework and I found great relief within the first week) and have been able to work my deadlift and squat back to what I was lifting pre-injuries.

I used to think that pelvic floor therapists were just for postpartum moms and people with incontinence but I couldn't have been more wrong!

I'm eternally grateful for the team at Monterey Pelvic Health for how they've changed my life.

If you have a pelvic floor (*cough*cough* that's everyone), then you should go see them. Never did I think they would address all of the additional issues I had PLUS they did it all while working within my normal life / lifting schedule. I was scared of being told to stop deadlifting or lifting heavy, but that's not the way they operate.

They truly listen and design a treatment based on your lifestyle.

If you have any sort of lower back pain or rib flare, call them NOW. The only regret you'll have is waiting longer to do it.

Go see them N O W!!“

“I had the opportunity to visit Dr Westbrook at his office and learn more about his business. I was very impressed by his professionalism, knowledge, and the care he puts into his work. His office is welcoming and well organized. He took the time to clearly explain his services and approach. Dr Westbrook genuinely cares about his clients and takes great pride in providing excellent service.“

“Dr Cook is the best! He knows the human body, he is an athlete . I went to PT prior to DrCook and in 6 months no change . I heard cbout the chiropractor and Acupunture team and decided to go this route before any surgery. Dr Cook has made me better with treatments that I've been told needed surgery. I am free if any surgery and can do everything normal . I am active and my back a, shoulder, arm are healed. Never had surgery ! I did go about 5-6 treatments and it has been years! Karen his wife , Acupunture is also healing and I worked with both of them towards my recovery. I highly recommend both if them and money well spent! I would not hesitate to see both Dr Cook or KAREN Cook for any issues on my body.“

“Dr Barkalow takes the time to listen to his patients and explain what he is doing. His practice is patient centered.“

“Dr Gibbs and his team are amazing! I don’t trust anyone else with my back and neck. He takes the problem and doesn’t just adjust the spinal column but educates his patients and gives stretches or exercises that strengthen and give overall help.“

“Dr.Kristina Montellese is amazing! From my first appointment, her and her team took me in with open arms!!! I was in debilitating pain from piriformis syndrome and lumbar disc herniation. Literally after my 2nd visit I noticed the pain I was experiencing subsided dramatically! No lie told! If it weren’t for Dr.Kristina I don’t know what type of shape I would be in right now. I’m deeply deeply grateful for her & her team! I’m now able to walk and work again with little pain! Im on the path to recovery thanks to Dr Kristina Montellese. Truthfully she has helped mitigate the pain and suffering I was experiencing. Words cannot describe the gratitude i have, thank you so so much! I’m so grateful to have such a solid Chiropractor in the Monterey bay. If you have any interest in seeing a chiropractor please do yourself a favor and contact Montellese Family Chiropractor because you will not regret it! They will help get you back on your path. Again thank you guys soooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“I’m a 56 year old mover and Dr Rector keeps this old back in working order. Can’t say enough.“

“Dr Nagai is both very knowledgeable and intuitive.Very few people will I let perform chiropractics on me. He is top of the list!“

“I was looking for a chiropractor who truly understands runners and the impact that running has on the body, and I found exactly that with Dr Johnson. From my very first visit, he was incredibly thorough and took the time to understand what was going on with my body rather than just treating the symptoms.

What I appreciate most is how clearly he explains everything. He helped me understand how different areas of the body are connected and how one issue can affect another. I had been dealing with pain from overuse and overtraining, and his knowledge, care, and treatment helped me work through it and get back to doing what I love.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Johnson for over a year now, and I can't say enough good things about him. He is knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cares about his patients. Most importantly, he always makes me feel safe, heard, and cared for. I highly recommend him, especially for runners and other active individuals.“

“Dr. K is the best!! She is also a certified Network Chiropractor and if you have never experienced a Network Chiropractic session don’t wait any longer. I drive a 100 miles one way to see her. I believe that says it all. How many of you would drive 200 miles round trip to see your Chiropractor? Yes she’s that good. I’m pain free now, and I continue to visit her for mental, emotional and physical stability. If you have stress in your life Dr. K is one of the best Network Chiropractors that addresses all the needs that daily stress inflicts on the spine and body: emotionally, mentally and physically. I can’t say enough good things about Dr K. I love her!!“

“FD staff could have been warmer, especially if you’re lost and it’s your first time there. Dr. Kirby, on the other hand, was amazing. He was personable, knowledgeable, and seemed to know exactly what was wrong with me just by pressing on certain spots. He truly brought me back to life.“

“I have been a patient with Charles Martin Chiropractic Center going on 5 years..every 2-3 weeks without stopping or taking a break.. Chiropractic Care is not a one off or even six off visit..it is not a ok, I'm hurting ,go to the Chiropractor and after a few visits stop..it is a lifetime commitment! Why do I say this?..Because your health and well being doesn't stop wanting your love and attention, everyday, every year. Dr. Martin is impressive. He is interested in your well being everyday of every year. He is committed, he is schooled and he is a teacher. I will never stop going to him every 2-3 weeks the rest of my life!...I'm not hurting all the time. Why?... Because I go all the time and my back and body are healing constantly.
I won't stop for regression. Committed to on going Chiropractic Care is care to and for my body and keeps everything flowing within and without.

“By far the best chiropractor I ever had. Dr. Boughton is truly a healer and her practice represents that.“

“Dr. Gensel has been my chiro for about 15 years now, and what a difference he's made to my quality of life. He is one of the most skillful, knowledgeable, & caring medical professionals I've ever known. His advice and counsel on caring for my back and entire body has been indispensable in helping me maintain good spinal health. Highly recommended.“

“Dr. Hakim agreed to see my fiancé when he had a herniated disk on a Sunday when he sees emergency cases only. He also called that evening to check in. Dr. Hakim is a person centered healer… we felt heard, understood, and supported even with it being my fiancés first time going to a chiropractor. Highly recommend him for any physical health needs and learnings. 10/10 recommend.“

“the most wonderful, great chiropractor ever. took my pain away and was sleeping better. thanks to Dr. Romero“
