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 Pain That Keeps Coming Back
When back pain, neck stiffness, or a recurring ache starts dictating how you sit, work, and sleep, another round of temporary relief isn’t the answer. A good chiropractor in Los Gatos, CA starts by finding what’s actually driving it: a disc, a joint restriction, a muscle imbalance, or an old injury that never healed right. From there we build a plan around the cause, so the pain stops returning instead of just quieting down for a week.
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, a weekend ride out toward Saratoga, or a long daily 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
Ultrasound therapy sends sound waves into 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. Our whiplash care uses gentle adjustments and soft tissue work to restore motion and ease the pain that often surfaces days later.
Neck Pain Treatment
Desk posture and pinched nerves are the usual culprits behind neck pain, 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, our back pain care pinpoints the source and combines 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 sciatica 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 work 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 make the short drive 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, daily commutes, and Los Gatos Creek Trail miles all turn up here as neck and low-back pain. Dr. Wong focuses on auto and work injuries, and Dr. Kim adds soft tissue therapy and functional rehab to get active patients back to training.
Hours and Access Built Around a Busy Schedule
Saturday morning appointments (8:30 to 11:00) keep care from competing with your workweek, and most insurance is accepted with no referral needed. The same team sees you each visit, including front-desk sisters Jamie and Joanie.
Care Led by Experienced Chiropractors
Your care is led by three chiropractors with different training and strengths, so your plan can be matched to the doctor whose approach fits your case.
Dr. Alex Wong, D.C.
A 2012 Palmer College of Chiropractic graduate and the practice owner, Dr. Wong focuses on family, auto, and work injury care. He works in low-force and traditional Thompson, Gonstead, and Diversified technique, and is fluent in Cantonese and Mandarin.
Dr. Junsik Kim, D.C.
Dr. Kim earned his Doctor of Chiropractic at Palmer College West in San Jose after studying Bio-Health Sciences at Oregon State. Drawing on work in both chiropractic and physical therapy, he combines Diversified adjustments, joint mobilization, soft tissue therapy, and functional rehab.
Dr. Stephanie Morales, D.C.
Dr. Morales pairs years of hands-on spinal care with a holistic approach, treating the fuller picture of a patient’s health rather than a single symptom. Her focus is on lasting relief and steady, whole-person recovery.
How We Find the Real Cause of Your Pain
Los Gatos patients tend to arrive with a familiar mix: desk-and-commute strain from long hours, flare-ups from weekend sports and cycling, and old injuries that never fully settled. The first visit is about finding which of those is actually driving your pain, so we can match you to the right doctor and technique instead of guessing. Here’s how it usually goes:
- A real conversation about your history: your work, your commute, your training, past injuries, and exactly when and where the pain hits
- A hands-on exam of the spine, joints, and muscles, focused on the areas that take the load for desk workers and weekend athletes
- Posture and movement screening to trace the pain to its source, the restriction or imbalance behind it, not just the sore spot
- X-rays or an MRI when a disc or nerve problem is on the table, so no one adjusts blind
- A plan matched to you: the right doctor of the three, the right technique from gentle Activator or Pro-Adjuster to hands-on Diversified, Gonstead, or Thompson, plus any in-house therapy that fits
With three doctors and a full range of techniques under one roof, the plan fits your body and your schedule, not a one-size template.
