Dr. Dustin Nagai was born and raised in Carmel Valley. He became interested in chiropractic due to the long term relief it gave him from asthma. Chiropractic also allowed Dr. Nagai to recover from injuries that made it possible for him to play Football at the college level. He played varsity baseball, basketball, football and soccer at Carmel High School before continuing his football career at Hartnell Junior College and Sonoma State University. The next step was a Kinesiology degree from San Diego State University in Fitness, Nutrition and Health. While finishing his degree, Dr. Nagai worked as a personal trainer while living in San Diego. A move back to the area allowed him to continue offering his expertise as a personal trainer at The Spanish Bay Club in Pebble Beach. Palmer West Chiropractic College was the next step. At Palmer West, Dr. Nagai focused on the Gonstead technique and sports related injuries. He was blessed to be able to spend 2 weeks in Manaus, Brazil to provide free chiropractic care to thousands of people. It was always his dream to be able to move back to the Monterey Bay and be able to raise a family and help bring chiropractic to the people in the area that he loved. We offer a full rehabilitation department that aids our patients in the recovery of their injuries. We provide cutting edge spinal decompression treatment with the DRX 9000 to help those suffering from herniated discs avoid surgery. We have the only DRX 9000 machine on the Monterey Peninsula.
