Chiropractor in San Jose
Almaden Family Chiropractic
No guesswork. No quick fixes. Just care that lasts.
Chiropractic Care That Treats the Cause, Not Just the Symptom
When pain keeps coming back, the problem is usually more than the spot that hurts. As a trusted chiropractor in San Jose, our team at Almaden Family Chiropractic evaluates how your spine, joints, muscles, posture, and movement patterns work together, then builds care around what your body actually needs. From our Cambrian Park office, just off Branham Lane and the Almaden Expressway, that means getting to the source of your pain instead of chasing the symptom.
Our San Jose team helps patients with back pain, neck pain, sciatica, headaches, accident injuries, and everyday stiffness through chiropractic adjustments and supportive therapies designed to improve comfort, mobility, and long-term function.
- Caring for Cambrian Park and South San Jose families since 1982, over 40 years and counting
- Chiropractic adjustments and supportive therapies tailored to your condition
- Non-invasive care for pain, stiffness, nerve irritation, and injury recovery
- A clear plan you understand from the very first visit
We don’t just treat symptoms. We fix the root cause so you can move freely again.
Why San Jose Patients Choose Almaden Family Chiropractic
Choosing a chiropractor comes down to trust: who will take the time to examine you carefully, explain what is actually happening, and build a plan that holds up. Here is what sets our Branham Lane practice apart for patients across South San Jose and the greater South Bay.
A team that stays, and speaks your language
You see the same faces every visit, from Dr. Wong, who has practiced over a decade and lives in the Almaden area, to front-desk sisters Jamie and Joanie at 18 and 13 years. Care comes in English, Cantonese, Mandarin, and Korean, so South Bay families never hit a language barrier.
Hours that fit a Silicon Valley schedule
Weekday visits start at 7:30 AM and we open Saturday mornings, so patients driving in from Saratoga along Highway 85 can get adjusted before work instead of taking time off.
Car accident care with no upfront cost
Whether your collision happened on Highway 17 near Los Gatos or minutes from home, we treat auto injuries on a lien basis and coordinate with attorneys, so you can begin care right away and handle billing through your claim.
Evidence-based care, gentle when you need it
Care is led by Palmer College trained doctors and a clinic manager with a Master of Public Health, which keeps our methods grounded in real research. For patients uneasy about a forceful adjustment, we also offer low-force and Pro-Adjuster options that keep treatment comfortable.
Your First Visit: What It’s Really Like
Your first appointment is about answers, not sales pressure. Here is how we have guided new patients from questions to a clear plan since 1982.
- A welcome and your health history: Jamie or Joanie, the sisters who run our front desk, get you settled and start your new patient forms. If you are here after a car accident, we set up the lien paperwork now so billing never delays your care.
- A sit-down consultation with your chiropractor: You talk directly with Dr. Wong or Dr. Kim about where the pain shows up, what makes it worse, and how it affects your work, sleep, commute, and the activities you want back. We can walk through it in English, Cantonese, Mandarin, or Korean.
- A hands-on exam, not just the sore spot: Using methods like motion palpation and Gonstead-based evaluation, your chiropractor checks posture, range of motion, spinal motion, and the surrounding muscles that may be feeding the problem.
- Imaging only when it changes the plan: If your exam points to something deeper, like a disc behind your sciatica or lingering whiplash, X-rays or MRIs help confirm it before any treatment begins.
- Your plan, often with treatment the same day: You will see which methods fit, whether that is a diversified adjustment, gentle Activator or Pro-Adjuster low-force care, spinal decompression, or supportive therapy like ultrasound, muscle stimulation, or massage with Veronica. Many patients begin treatment on the first visit and leave with stretches or posture fixes for home.
Walk in with questions. Leave with a plan you trust.
What Our Patients Are Saying
Chiropractic Care for Pain, Injuries, and Movement Problems
Whether your day is spent at a desk in a Cupertino tech office, on a job site over in Campbell, or powering up the Communications Hill stairs, pain that starts in one area can change how your whole body moves.

Chiropractic Treatment Built Around How Your Body Moves
Chiropractic Adjustments and Spinal Alignment
Your care may include diversified adjustments, Thompson technique, Gonstead-based evaluation, motion palpation, or advanced chiropractic care using Activator low-force adjustments. The goal is better joint motion, less mechanical stress, and easier movement.
Full-Body Evaluation Before Treatment
We do not only check the area where you feel pain. Your chiropractor may evaluate posture, range of motion, spinal alignment, muscle tension, nerve irritation, and how symptoms change with movement.
Gentle Options for Sensitive or Stubborn Pain
Not every patient needs the same type of adjustment. Low-force techniques and Pro-Adjuster Technology help us provide precise care with real-time feedback for patients who prefer a lighter approach.
Supportive Therapies When Your Body Needs More Than an Adjustment
Some conditions respond better with targeted support. Your plan may include soft tissue therapy, therapeutic massage, electrical muscle stimulation, ultrasound therapy, corrective exercises, ergonomic guidance, or custom orthotics.
Spinal Decompression for Disc and Nerve Pressure
For herniated discs, chronic low back pain, or sciatica-related symptoms,spinal decompression may help reduce pressure on spinal discs and irritated nerves without surgery.
At-Home Guidance That Supports Your Progress
Your care does not stop when the appointment ends. We may recommend stretches, posture changes, workstation adjustments, or simple exercises to support progress between visits.
