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.
Advanced Chiropractic Solutions to Help You Move Freely
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 Therapy
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.
Techniques That Help Us Match Care to Your Body
These are the concerns we see most often. Whatever brings you in, care starts with finding the cause, not just quieting the symptom.
Whiplash Injury Treatment
The jolt of a collision overstretches the neck's soft tissue; gentle adjustments and soft tissue work restore motion and ease the pain that often surfaces days later.
Neck Pain Treatment
Desk posture and pinched nerves are the usual culprits, so we free the restricted joints and release the muscles driving the stiffness and the headaches that follow.
Back Pain Treatment
From a strained lower back to a disc problem, we pinpoint the source and combine adjustments, decompression, and rehab to take the pressure off and keep it off.
Headaches & Migraine Treatment
Many recurring headaches start in the neck and upper spine, so low-force adjustments and posture work target that root instead of masking the symptom.
Sciatica Treatment
When a compressed nerve sends pain down the leg, decompression and targeted adjustments relieve the pressure at its source in the lower spine.
Work Injury Treatment
Lifting strains, repetitive motion, and long hours at a desk take their toll, so we treat the injury and help with the documentation a work claim needs.
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
Some patients want a traditional Diversified, Gonstead, or Thompson adjustment; others tense up at the idea. We also use Activator low-force and Pro-Adjuster instrument methods, so each body gets input it can tolerate.
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.
Doctors Who Treat the Strains Los Gatos Life Produces
Long tech workdays, Highway 17 commutes, and weekend miles on the Los Gatos Creek Trail all land here. Dr. Wong focuses on auto and work injuries, and Dr. Kim adds soft tissue therapy and functional rehab.
Hours and Access Built Around a Busy Schedule
Saturday morning appointments (8:30 to 11:00) keep care from competing with your week, and most insurance is accepted with no referral needed. The same team sees you each visit, including front-desk sisters Jamie and Joanie.

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.
