ABOUT US

 

Dr. Cynthia Hornback

Charles and Dr. Cindy were high school sweethearts from MO who married in 2000. They moved to the sunshine state soon after with Dr. Cindy finishing her internship in Sarasota. After working as an associate doctor for a year, Hornback Chiropractic and Wellness was born. Dr. Cindy set her sights on the under served and quickly expanding area of East Manatee County. Since the grand opening in November 2002, the practice has grown tremendously with thousands of east county families as patients.

It wasn’t long before sights were set on expanding their own family with Dr.Cindy's daughter Estella being born in 2005. Soon after the birth, the growing practice was in need of expansion which required more space. For Dr. Cindy it was exciting to be able to introduce additional services as they moved a mile away from the original location into a larger space.

HCW was reborn conveniently located on Lakewood Ranch Blvd in Canterbury Commons on December 4, 2006. While the growth of the patient members and staff of the practice continued, so did the Hornback family with Dr.Cindy's son Hayden being born in September of 2007. Now they feel complete, the practice continues to flourish and Dr. Cindy is as enthusiastic about her mission as she was from the start.

Dr. Cindy was born and raised in Sikeston Missouri where she was a competitive gymnast for over 10 years. During this time she sought chiropractic care to help prevent and treat sport related injuries. This is one of the many reasons she became interested in the health care field while in college.


She earned her BS degree from Southeast Missouri State University in 1997 and Doctorate of Chiropractic from Logan College of Chiropractic in St. Louis MO in 2001. In addition, Dr. Cindy is board certified in acupuncture.

She is a Member of Florida Chiropractic Association, American Chiropractic Association, Southwest Florida Chiropractic Society, International Chiropractic Pediatric Association, and Florida Chiropractic Society. Dr. Cindy enjoys being active in the Manatee Chamber of Commerce and was a finalist for the Manatee Small Business of the Year in 2005, 2008 and 2009. In 2004, she was also given the “40 Under 40” award by the Gulf Coast Business Review recognizing her as one of the most successful business people in our area under 40 years old. Dr. Cindy has been active over the years with various charitable organizations over including Race for the cure, Habitat for Humanity, Meals on Wheels and Florida Blood Services.

Kate Kucharski - LMT, Facial Specialist

I have been a massage therapist and skin care specialist since the year 2000. My education came from the College of Natural Health of Florida. I have certification in sports, neuromuscular, reflexology and Aaron Mattis stretch for passive and non passive, hot and cold therapies, body wraps and treatments. As a skin care specialist I have certification in surgical techniques from Intaglio, Microdermabrasion, Glycolic, Salicylic, Lactic Acid Peels and Chemical Peels from Universal Companies.

After 25 years in the corporate atmosphere I decided it was time for a change. I had worked in the Therapy field for 5 years and loved what it brought to patients in need of therapy services.

I chose massage therapy because of the broad aspects that are available to everyone. Building up immunities, keeping oneself distressed, and moving blood and lymph through massage is an important part of staying healthy. Our daily existence is filled with physical obstacles and hurdles that we deal with. Everything from playing sports, to typing on a computer can affect the way our musculoskeleton reacts. I feel good about being a part of the healing process to so many.

While attending The College of Natural Health I became interested in furthering my education in the field of skin care. The knowledge I have gained about problematic skin and anti-aging has been very rewarding. I believe the answer to beautiful and non-problematic skin is taking a natural approach.
