Chiropractor in Los Gatos, CA
Less pain. Easier movement. A clearer path forward.
Care for back pain, neck stiffness, injury recovery, and recurring discomfort that keeps interrupting your day.
Lasting Relief for Back Pain, Neck Stiffness, and Aches That Keep Coming Back
Back pain, neck stiffness, and recurring discomfort can change the way you move through your day. The stop-and-go over Highway 17 gets tenser, a run on the Los Gatos Creek Trail turns into a maybe-tomorrow, and even a walk down Santa Cruz Avenue starts to feel like a chore. If you’re looking for a chiropractor in Los Gatos, CA, care should start with understanding what is causing the problem, not just chasing short-term relief.
Many people come to us because they’re dealing with:
- Pain while healing from a sports injury or accident
- Tension and stiffness from long hours at a desk or computer
- Discomfort that keeps coming back after short-term treatments
The goal is to help you find the right treatment approach and move with more confidence again.
Treatment Options Built Around How Your Body Responds
Your care may include a combination of chiropractic adjustments, supportive therapies, and soft tissue work based on your symptoms, comfort level, and goals. Whether the pain follows you through a desk day at a Los Gatos tech campus, the climb up Highway 9 toward Saratoga on a weekend ride, or the stop-and-go of the Highway 17 commute, the focus is to help your body function with less strain.
Advanced Chiropractic Care
Our core adjustments restore movement to restricted spinal and joint segments, the hidden driver behind much stubborn neck, back, and shoulder pain. We add the supportive therapies below when alignment alone is not enough.
Ultrasound
Sound waves reach deep soft tissue to boost circulation and ease inflammation. We use it for strains, tendon irritation, and overuse injuries, often just before an adjustment so the muscles respond better.
Electrical Muscle Stimulation
Gentle electrical pulses make tight muscles contract and release, calming spasms and breaking the pain-and-tension cycle. It helps most during acute back and neck flare-ups and when muscles are guarding an injured joint.
Orthotics for Foot Health
When your feet do not support you evenly, the strain travels up into the knees, hips, and lower back. Custom orthotics fix that foundation, which matters most when back or hip pain keeps returning despite good spinal care.
Pain Management
Instead of masking symptoms, we find the movement pattern, joint restriction, or muscle imbalance keeping the pain switched on and build a plan around it. It is the route for chronic or recurring pain that rest and medication have not fixed.
Spinal Decompression
Decompression gently stretches the spine to take pressure off compressed discs and pinched nerves. Delivered over a series of short sessions, it is a main option for herniated or bulging discs and the radiating pain of sciatica.
Massage Therapy
Muscle tension can hold a joint out of place and undo an adjustment. Our licensed massage therapist works the surrounding soft tissue so adjustments hold longer, with deep tissue, sports, neuromuscular, and prenatal work available.
Pro-Adjuster
The Pro-Adjuster delivers precise, low-force adjustments through a handheld instrument instead of manual thrusts. It suits nervous first-timers, older patients, children, and anyone who does better with a gentler input.

Why Los Gatos Patients Make the Short Drive to Our Office
Los Gatos has chiropractic options closer to downtown, so the reason patients take the short drive in along Los Gatos-Almaden Road to our Branham Lane office in South San Jose comes down to what actually happens once you are on the table. For more than 40 years we have treated the neck, back, and injury problems that Los Gatos schedules tend to create, and here is where our care is different.
A Full Range of Adjustment Styles
Adjustments and Soft Tissue Care Under One Roof
We pair spinal care with in-house massage, electrical muscle stimulation, ultrasound, and decompression. Our massage therapist, Veronica Rosales, brings 16-plus years in deep tissue and sports work, so muscle and joint problems are handled together.

How We Find the Real Cause of Your Pain
Before treatment begins, we look at how your symptoms connect to your spine, joints, muscles, posture, and daily habits, from long workdays to regular drives between Los Gatos and Cambrian.
Your first visit may include:
- A detailed conversation about your symptoms, health history, and routine
- Full-body assessment of spine, joints, and muscles
- Posture and movement analysis to spot misalignments
- Diagnostic imaging, such as X-rays or MRIs, when needed
- A personalized care plan designed to correct the cause, not just mask pain
This process helps ensure that each adjustment and recommendation is based on what your body actually needs.
