Westwood Family Chiropractic
Your Partner in Health
At Westwood Family Chiropractic, our mission is to provide compassionate, personalized care that helps our patients live healthier, pain-free lives. As a trusted chiropractor in Westwood, NJ, we proudly care for patients of all ages across Bergen County, including nearby communities like Emerson, Hillsdale, Washington Township, Oradell, and River Vale.
Our Philosophy: Family-Focused, Personalized Chiropractic Care
At Westwood Family Chiropractic, we believe every family deserves care that’s as unique as they are. From newborns to grandparents, we tailor each care plan to meet the specific needs of every family member, because healing isn’t one-size-fits-all.
Our approach goes beyond temporary symptom relief. We focus on correcting the root cause of imbalances and improving nervous system function, so your whole family can feel better, move better, and live healthier together.
Whether you're coming in for your child’s first adjustment or seeking long-term support for your entire household, we’re here to guide you through every step with compassion, clarity, and care you can trust.
Meet The Doctors
Dr. Cathy Gurman and Dr. Jett Gurman are both graduates of Life University (formerly Life Chiropractic College in Atlanta), where they met and earned their Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degrees. Since that time, they have built and maintained a thriving, family-based healthcare practice centrally located in Bergen County, in Westwood, New Jersey.
They are active members of the Westwood Chamber of Commerce and also involved in Westwood UNICO, an Italian-American service organization. The Gurmans have served as the official chiropractors for Paragon Gymnastics, and since 2000, Dr. Jett Gurman has been the official chiropractor for the Westwood Volunteer Fire Department.
In addition to leading their practice, Drs. Gurman give back to the chiropractic profession as coaches and mentors through the nationally recognized organization TLC Coaching (Team, Leadership, Conditioning).
Both doctors are nationally recognized, in-demand speakers, presenters, and lecturers. In 2018, Dr. Cathy Gurman was honored with the TLC Coach of the Year award in recognition of her outstanding work helping fellow chiropractors and their teams improve the quality of their patient care and outcomes.
“We are proud to provide the highest quality and level of patient care, service, satisfaction, and outcomes. Our 30 plus years of expertise and experience in chiropractic areas of pregnancy, pre and post natal and Webster Breech Technique, pediatric, adult, and senior patient care, I believe, clearly demonstrates our commitment to improving the health and wellness of our patients and our community that we have the honor to serve.” – Dr. Cathy Gurman
“Our goal for patients is two-fold. First, to improve the function of the body via correction of interference to the nervous system (the brain-body connection) by reducing and or correcting the often overlooked condition known as the Vertebral Subluxation Complex. The second is to provide an opportunity to support, educate, and motivate each patient to want to improve their own health, stay well, be more active, and to be better adaptable to their day to day stresses physically, mentally, and emotionally.” – Dr. Jett Gurman

What to Expect: Your Chiropractic Evaluation in Westwood, NJ
With years of health care experience, Drs. Gurman and their highly trained team of Chiropractic Assistants provide care like no one else.
Here’s what to expect when starting your care at Westwood Family Chiropractic:
Step 1: Schedule Your Initial Health Screening
Your first step is to call and schedule a chiropractic screening. Appointments are flexible to accommodate even the busiest schedules. This screening helps determine if you’re a good candidate for chiropractic care.
Step 2: Private Consultation and Examination
If chiropractic care is appropriate for your needs, you’ll receive a private consultation to review your health history. This is followed by a comprehensive examination, and if necessary, in-office spinal X-rays to assess alignment and function.
Step 3: Report of Findings
On your next visit, we’ll review the results of your screening and exams in a special Report of Findings session. This includes:
- A group overview (with your spouse or significant other, if desired)
- A one-on-one consultation to discuss your unique needs
- A detailed care plan tailored to your goals
- Answers to all your questions about visit frequency, insurance participation, and payment options.
You’ll also begin receiving your first chiropractic adjustments during this visit.
