Dr. Cynthia Lara was born in El Paso, Texas and raised in Cuidad, Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico. 

She was brought up with the science of an academic preparatory school and the alternative beliefs of her grandmother. Science and alternative natural health care just seem to blend in everyday life. Arnica, a healing herb for muscle pain was known to her as a child as "Grandma's arnica". She was surprised when she grew up to find out it really didn't belong just to grandma. Chiropractic with its roots in alternative medicine and science was a natural fit. After getting several degrees in Biology and Chemistry, and then in Medical Technology, Dr. Lara became a chiropractor who has learned after twenty years of practice to  incorporate many diverse healing paths into the work she does today.

After living in Mexico and the Middle East, Dr. Cynthia Lara approaches healing as an individualized concept where each person is different and responds to care in their own way. Living in different parts of the world showed Dr. Lara unique perspectives contributing to her view that each patient has their own way of healing. Dr. Lara believes the relationships she builds with her patients contributes immeasurably to the healing process.

Dr. Lara is fluent in English, Spanish, and has a working knowledge of Arabic and French, which she has used in her practice while dealing with the diverse patient population that come for treatment. Dr. Lara uses Activator Method, BEST (Biosynchronization Technique), Drop Table, and Diversified techniques to help her patients heal as well as Gua Shaa and Graston  Techniques to help restore soft tissue to healthy balance.

Dr. Lara uses several techniques to correct subluxations (spinal misalignments) in her patients. One cutting edge technique is called the "Activator Method". Read more about this method here.
