DO YOU SUFFER FROM SHOULDER PAIN? Your body has an amazing ability to heal itself and your spine is the foundation of your body. We are here to care for it, so you can heal and get back to living, and loving, your life. SCHEDULE YOUR COMPLIMENTARY CONSULTATION TODAY San Jose Chiropractor | Platinum Chiropractic – Pain Relief & Wellness Neuro-Structural vs. Conventional Chiropractic What is Typical, Conventional Chiropractic Care? Conventional care from a typical chiropractor aims to increase range of motion, decrease muscle spasms, and relieve pain. This type of care falls under the category of symptom reduction/management, and conventional chiropractors can be excellent at this. Neuro-Structural Corrective Chiropractor At Platinum Chiropractic in San Jose, our approach is different. We focus on Neuro-Structural Correction by utilizing objective indicators to determine the presence of Neuro-Structural Shifts. Think about it like this; if a house has a poor foundation, you may find that you have problems. Maybe the walls are cracking, the plumbing or electric systems aren’t working right, and the doors and windows are not closing properly.  You can keep addressing these individual issues (symptoms), but they are likely to keep recurring until the underlying cause is corrected (Neuro-Structural Shift). The spine serves as the foundation of your body, and it supports all the organs, muscles, and connective tissue. If you are ready for complete wellness, chiropractic care is another great tool to add to your wellness toolbox. Learn More What is a Neuro-Structural Shift?

Their nervous system dictates their ability to thrive in all aspects of home life, academic, athletic performance, and social and mental health. We experience life through our nervous system. Given its impact on quality of life, it makes perfect sense to ensure your children’s nervous systems are functioning at optimal levels. Parents sometimes wonder how or why a child or baby would benefit from Neuro-Structural Chiropractic. Often, folks are unaware that physical trauma begins in the womb with spinal distress during development and continuing through the birthing process and into childhood. For example, imagine the force put on a baby’s cervical spine (neck) during a c-section or how many times they fall when learning to walk. The car seats, carriers, and all the other contraptions that children grow up with affect their bodies and put stress on their nerves. Repetitive physical trauma is introduced at a young age as children spend more time on electronic devices than ever before and usually don’t practice proper ergonomics. The prevalence of electronic usage among children significantly impacts their posture. We are finding that kids we see currently, particularly ones who clock more screen time, have much more dramatic Neuro-Structural shifts than we saw even a decade ago. See the image below to observe how much pressure is being put on the upper cervical neck when looking down at a phone or tablet screen.

See the image below to observe how much pressure is being put on the upper cervical neck when looking down at a phone or tablet screen. Seeking care to reverse the effects of stress is best done sooner than later in life, as a child’s body is highly resilient and receptive to chiropractic care. Studies have shown that regularly visiting a chiropractor has resulted in a reduction in hospital visits, medication usage, and ear infections. Moreover, regular visits to a chiropractor have also resulted in improved focus and productivity in school and better balance in activities of daily living. Children under care report experiencing improvements in a variety of symptoms and health conditions, including: improved behavior, concentration & mood healthier immune systems decreased ear infections Better coordination and improved performance in athletics more rapid recovery from illness improved performance in school better sleep According to research from 2016, a single chiropractic adjustment improved function in the prefrontal cortex by 20%, the region of the brain responsible for all executive functions. These functions include concentration, focus control, personality and learning. Improving the functionality of this region can greatly impact a child’s perception of their capabilities and, by effect, their mental health. So it’s no wonder that Neuro-Structural chiropractic care can help a number of conditions, including: ADHD, anxiety &  neurological and sensory processing disorders ear, sinus & respiratory infections colic, reflux, constipation, nursing & digestive issues asthma, allergies & other immune challenges torticollis Schedule a Complimentary Consultation At Platinum Chiropractic, we focus on identifying interferences in the nervous system and honoring the body’s innate ability to heal.

Now that my entire spinal structure been corrected and adjusted, I’m able to reap all of the benefits from it, such as: ridding body of prior nagging ailments, much faster recovery from fatigue due to exercises, better digestion and metabolism, deeper &longer sleep, as well as heightened energy and overall posture. As an ex-athlete that competed at a national level, I can highly recommend Platinum Chiropractic for structural health needs — which can lead to mental, physical and even gastro-intestinal benefits. Dr. Karo and Kristen are not only friends and trusted professionals, but are like family to me now. I will be continuing on to the preventative and maintenance care regimen hereon forth.” –Shaw Chang Anika Bauzon My husband and I started seeing Dr. Karo a little over a year ago and it’s been the best chiropractic experience I’ve ever had. I had to have emergency surgery a few months into treatment at Platinum Chiropractic. I couldn’t walk or stand up straight when I wobbled into the practice 2 days post op. The compassion, kindness, and care that I received from Kristen and Dr. Karo that day will stay in my memory forever. He took his time with me and gave me more guidance than any of the surgeons who operated on me did. By the time I left the office I was walking out of there standing up straight with my head held high—unassisted. As a CMT & CPT my weekly visits to Dr. Karo keep me in tip top shape which in turn allow me to be the best I can be for my clients and I’m so grateful for that. This practice honors and cares deeply about anyone who walks in their doors. They really want to help and you can tell because they make sure you get X-rays, understand what’s happening to your body, and why/how they can get you on the right track. We are eternally grateful for the education that Dr. Karo very casually imparts on us during our sessions. Thank you guys for all you do to help heal and educate! Lindsay Harke “Platinum Chiropractic is fantastic, I recommend it to anyone and everyone! When I went in for the first time I couldn’t feel my right arm. Both Dr. Karo and Kristen were so kind from the beginning. Kristen got me in on the same day and Dr. Karo calmly talked me through my panic. Within only a few visits I had complete feeling in my arm back, an explanation as to what was going on, a treatment plan, and exercises to do on my own. After the arm issue was fixed, he went on to adjust and correct the bigger issues that were causing my pain. He understood my lifestyle and always helped me work within that. I went through two cycles of correction treatment and have never felt so good. Dr. Karo is very thorough and uses data to show progress and issues. Kristen is so warm and welcoming every time you walk in the door. Even during Covid, when most people were feeling down, she was always there to greet you with a genuine smile and interest in your day. Platinum Chiropractic is great all around. I highly recommend them to anyone! Thank you Dr. Karo and Kristen for all your amazing help!” Farbod Sedeh “I’ve been seeing Dr. Karo for over 8 years now. As my health, fitness, and overall life objectives have changed over the years, seeing Dr. Karo has remained consistent. Whether I was competing professionally in CrossFit (when I was younger of course) or playing soccer with friends, Dr. Karo always made sure my body was functioning to the best of its abilities. But more importantly, my migraines are nearly gone. About 15 years ago I started getting migraines as a teenager and as I got older, they became more frequent and more agonizing. The impact of each migraine was steep and sometimes led to a trip to the Emergency room. Since I started treatment with Dr. Karo, the migraines occurred less and were less severe. Now, I maybe get 1-2 migraines every 6 months, when prior to seeing Dr. Karo, I was averaging about 18-20 migraines every 6 months. My quality of life is where I want it to be and a large reason for that is because of Dr. Karo.” Jill B. “I’m crying right now… because I feel so amazing! I’ve been receiving chiropractic care from Dr. Karo for about eight years now. I used to have chronic neck pain – always bending my neck to try and “crack” it with no success. Neck pain and headaches were a lifelong issue for me. Now, I can’t even remember that daily pain as Dr. Karo was able to help me heal properly after only a few months of care. Eight years later, I’m feeling so very strong and healthy! Even though I no longer have chronic issues, I get regular chiropractic care to allow my body to be a strong, supportive healing machine! Today, I came in holding emotional stress from personal issues. It was showing up in my physical body. Once released (thank you, Dr. Karo) I can now breathe more deeply and feel like I can handle the difficult situations I’m facing with more energy, focus, and calmness. Yes, all this from one visit. I highly recommend Dr. Karo at Platinum Chiropractic. He is highly skilled and incredibly intuitive. You don’t have to live with any kind of pain! Come to Platinum Chiropractic. “ Doug C. [caption id="attachment_143" align="alignnone" width="500"] Doug C.[/caption] “Before finding Platinum Chiropractic I went to a conventional chiropractor and couldn’t see myself getting better. After finding Platinum Chiropractic, I knew I was in the right place and in the right hands. “Right away we went over the entire process and I got started immediately. After just the first month I could see a significant difference from the side by side before and after photos. Pain was going away, I was becoming more mobile, and my quality of life was increasing. “Three months has elapsed, and I can tell you that I’m in much better shape than I was day one. I would recommend Platinum Chiropractic to friends, family, and anybody asking. Thank you Platinum Chiropractic you are the best.” Kevin C. “I have visited a variety of chiropractors over the years since moving to the US and they all seemed just OK. Six years ago, I was ‘introduced’ to Dr. Karo and I have never looked back. “Historically, I had many sports injuries; from my knees, up to my lower back, upper back and neck. Pain was synonymous to most of my daily functions, which included nerve and numbing pain. It has gotten so much better now that there is no more numbing pain and almost no nerve related pain. Sitting, standing and even lying used to be barely bearable, but ever since beginning regular Neuro-Structural corrective care, my body functions have improved and it is a lot less painful to be active. When my spine is out of structural alignment due to constant travel and long work hours, my regular visits to Dr. Karo help keep those long painful days at bay. “Improvements I have personally experienced over the years under Dr. Karo’s care and supervision include less overall pain (greatly reduced), increased mobility, better concentration and focus, stronger immune system (I heal a lot faster than it used to take), more alert, and increased vitality and better overall mood. “Dr. Karo also runs additional programs like nutrition, mobility and How Your Mindset Affects Your Healing | Chiropractic & Wellness Tips -- End of the comment --> Skip to content Platinum Chiropractic 1790 Hamilton Ave., San Jose, CA 95125 (408) 533-0553 [email protected] Facebook Instagram Linkedin Yelp Menu Meet Your Doctor Schedule a Consultation Treatments & Services Headaches and Migraines Neck Pain Back Pain and Sciatica Upper Back Pain Vertigo Pediatric Visits Sports Chiropractic Blog Testimonials Contact Us We speak • Spanish – Hablamos español • Armenian – Մենք խոսում ենք հայերեն • Russian – Мы говорим по русски Search for: Neuro-Structural vs. Conventional?

Just Want To Speak To A Doctor? Schedule a Consultation Newsletter Signup Search Search How Your Mindset Affects Your Healing Chiropractic Care The Science of Placebo, Nocebo, and Nervous System Function Most people understand that physical stress (like injuries, poor posture, or repetitive strain) and chemical stress (like toxins, inflammation, or nutrition) impact their health. What often gets overlooked is a third category that can be just as powerful: mental stress. Your thoughts, beliefs, and expectations directly influence how your body functions, heals, and adapts. In fact, research continues to show that your mindset can either support or slow down recovery from conditions like neck pain, back pain, headaches and migraines. Two well-documented concepts help explain this: the placebo effect and the nocebo effect. The placebo effect occurs when a positive belief creates a measurable improvement in physiology. In clinical research, patients given an inactive treatment, like a sugar pill, often still experience real symptom relief simply because they believe they are being treated. A well-known review published by Harvard Medical School explains that the placebo effect can trigger real biochemical changes in the brain, including the release of endorphins and dopamine, directly influencing pain perception and healing outcomes. On the other side is the nocebo effect, where negative expectations lead to worse outcomes. A study published in The New England Journal of Medicine found that patients who were warned about potential side effects were significantly more likely to experience those symptoms, even when given a placebo. In other words, what they expected to happen shaped what they actually felt. There are even documented case reports where individuals were mistakenly told they had a serious illness and experienced rapid health decline consistent with that belief. While extreme, it highlights the power of the brain-body connection. There’s also an interesting study from Yale University where participants were given the exact same milkshake, but told two different stories. One group was told it was an indulgent, high-calorie shake, while the other group was told it was a healthy, low-calorie option. Researchers measured ghrelin, a hormone related to hunger and metabolism, and found that the body responded differently based on belief alone. The group that believed they were consuming something indulgent had a significantly different hormonal response than the group that believed it was healthy. Same shake, different physiology. However, even with the right Neuro-Structural Correction, your mental state can either support that healing process or slow it down. If your focus is constantly on what’s wrong, how bad it feels, or why it’s not improving fast enough, that reinforces a stress response in your nervous system. This keeps your body in a fight-or-flight state, which is not where healing happens efficiently. On the other hand, when your mindset shifts toward recognizing progress—how you’re moving better, sleeping better, or functioning better—you begin to reinforce a different neurological pattern that supports recovery. This is one of the reasons we consistently ask, “What’s better?” at each visit. It’s not just a question. It’s part of retraining your brain and nervous system to recognize healing and build momentum. When you start identifying even small improvements, your brain begins to look for more of them, creating a positive feedback loop that can accelerate healing. We see this every day. Patients who begin to recognize small improvements often experience faster, more consistent progress over time. Your body is always working toward health. It constantly repairs tissue, adapts to stress, and regulates systems throughout the body. When your nervous system is functioning well, and you support it with a more positive, intentional mindset, you create an environment where healing can happen more efficiently. Care in the office helps shift your body out of a chronic stress response and into a rest-and-heal state, but what you do outside the office determines how long you stay there. There are simple, practical ways to support this at home. Taking a few moments in the morning and before bed to focus on a handful of things you’re grateful for, especially those related to your health, can shift your focus. Using simple affirmations like “my body is healing” or “I’m getting stronger” reinforces that direction. Being mindful of your thoughts and redirecting negative patterns when they come up can help reduce mental stress on your nervous system. Even short periods of intentional breathing or quiet reflection can help your body stay in a more balanced, healing state. There has also been interest in how intention and environment may influence biology at a deeper level. For example, Masaru Emoto conducted experiments observing how water crystals formed under different conditions. When exposed to positive words or intentions, the water formed more organized, symmetrical patterns, while negative words were associated with more disorganized structures. These findings are often cited as a visual representation of how environment, language, and intention may influence structure and, by extension, function. The goal here isn’t to ignore symptoms or pretend challenges don’t exist. It’s to understand that your mindset plays a measurable role in how your body responds. When you combine Neuro-Structural Correction with a healing mindset, you amplify the results of your care. Healing isn’t just something that happens to you; it’s something you actively participate in. If you’ve experienced changes in your health here, even small ones, there’s a good chance someone in your life could benefit from the same approach. Many people simply don’t know this type of care exists or how much their nervous system impacts their healing. Feel free to share this with them or invite them in for a Complimentary Consultation so they can better understand what’s going on and what their options are. When your structure, your nervous system, and your mindset are all working together, that’s when you start to see more consistent, long-term improvements in your health.

What is a Neuro-Structural Shift? What are Secondary Conditions? What To Know Before My Exam What Are My Treatment Options? What Can Platinum Do For Me? How Do I Work With Platinum? Just Want To Speak To A Doctor? Schedule a Consultation Neuro-Structural Shift Chiropractor San Jose CA What is a Neuro-Structural Shift? We have been talking about how Neuro-Structural Shifts may be the underlying cause of your symptoms. But what are they really and how do we identify them? While no one is structurally perfect, there is a normal range. Consider this. We can understand what a fever is because we know what the normal body temperature range is. There are established “normals” almost everywhere we look, including the gauges and warning indicators on the dashboard of our cars… letting us know when things are abnormal. The body uses symptoms as warning indicators of a potentially more serious condition. A Neurostructural Shift is just such a condition that may be the cause of your symptoms or as we call them secondary conditions. Here at Platinum Chiropractic, we focus on detecting and correcting these shifts so that the body can restore its normal function and heal itself. We can identify a Neuro-Structural (NS) Shift when either or both of two anatomical components measure outside of their normal range: Biomechanical (Structural) component – your spinal vertebrae (the 24 moveable bones and the joints in-between that protect and surround your spinal cord and brain) Neurological (Neuro) component – your spinal cord and the delicate nerves (wires that carry vital nutrients, information, and electrical signals throughout your brain and body) Neuro-Structural Shifts create a fragile foundation that eventually results in Secondary Conditions (symptoms). Remember our analogy considering the spine as the foundation of a building? If the foundation shifts, what would happen to the rest of the building? Cracks in the walls and foundation, and doors and windows that are hard to open? We could conceal these “symptoms” by continually covering the cracks, putting more screws in the floor, or applying lubrication in the window rails. However, the structure of the building is still in a shifted state and these conditions will continue to occur. . . .again and again. For example, a Neuro-Structural Shift in your lower back may start to manifest in the form of digestive issues, referred pain to the upper back, excessively frequent visits to the bathroom, etc. But your internal system functions such as your liver have been compromised well before you actually feel these symptoms. The body begins to behave abnormally due to various stressors, repeated misuse and poor biomechanics. Back pain is your warning light. When Secondary Conditions (symptoms) arise (cracks in the wall, creaky floor — neck pain, digestive complications, migraines), they are usually a sign that a Neuro-Structural Shift has interrupted the signal that travels along the spinal nerves and spinal cord. We identify Neuro-Structural Shifts using the following objective measures: Complete Set of Nerve Scans (Including Heart Rate Variability, Surface EMG, and a Thermal Scan) Neuro-Structural Functional Spinal Analysis Digital Structural Photography Orthopedic and Neurological Tests X-rays and MRI’s if necessary There are four signs that are clear indicators of a Neuro-Structural Shift. moderate to severe shifting of your structure on a structural photograph, moderate to severe nerve pressure on nerve scans, decreased spinal normal range of movement & biomechanics in your spine or other joints (movement/motion of the spine), and an abnormal spinal alignment on an X-ray and MRI. Now, when it comes to normal, we’re not expecting anyone to be perfect. However, if your head is displaced 30mm beyond what’s considered acceptable, you have a Neuro-Structural Shift. Because the underlying structure has been shifted (regardless of the reason), this deviation of your skull puts abnormal stress on your muscles, tendons, ligaments, spinal bones, and discs- forcing them to put pressure on your nerves and cause secondary conditions . The locations of your Neuro-Structural Shifts will be revealed in our Neuro-Structural Examination and will give us an understanding of your Secondary Conditions and what’s happening in your body. Your overall health has everything to do with your spinal health. Are Neuro-Structural Shifts stopping you from living your life? Let’s schedule a Complimentary Consultation to determine if we can help you get back to doing what you love and living a vibrant, healthy life without chemical medications or permanent surgery. Schedule a Consultation SIMPLY BANDAGING YOUR SYMPTOMS IS UNLIKELY TO CORRECT THE TRUE CAUSE OF YOUR CONDITION, AND MAY EVENTUALLY LEAD TO FURTHER SPINAL DECAY AND MORE AGGRESSIVE DETERIORATION. WHEN THESE SYMPTOMS ARISE, THEY ARE USUALLY AN OBVIOUS SIGN THAT A NEURO-STRUCTURAL SHIFT HAS INTERRUPTED THE SIGNAL THAT TRAVELS ALONG THE SPINAL NERVES AND SPINAL CORD.

This practice honors and cares deeply about anyone who walks in their doors." Anika Bauzon Physical Therapist "Platinum Chiropractic is fantastic, I recommend it to anyone and everyone! When I went in for the first time I couldn’t feel my right arm. Both Dr. Karo and Kristen were so kind from the beginning. Kristen got me in on the same day and Dr. Karo calmly talked me through my panic. Within only a few visits I had complete feeling in my arm back, an explanation as to what was going on, a treatment plan, and exercises to do on my own." Lindsay Harke "I’ve been seeing Dr. Karo for over 8 years now. As my health, fitness, and overall life objectives have changed over the years, seeing Dr. Karo has remained consistent.

Every year in the US alone, 113 million workdays are lost due to migraine attacks* and 20% of neurological outpatient consultations are for migraine treatments**. Studies also show that having migraines regularly negatively impacts many core aspects of life, including: marital, parenting, romantic and family relationships, career/financial achievement and stability, ability to travel and experience new things, ability to participate and advance in athletics, and overall health and well-being. Before turning to our top San Jose chiropractor for headaches and migraines, the most common treatment for migraines is with medication. Although medication can offer a temporary respite and some migraine relief, it does not address the cause of the headaches or migraines, nor does it do anything to prevent future episodes. Medications can also alter mood, digestion and have other adverse side effects.  Other methods of care and migraine remedies, such as staying in darkness, temperature therapy and keeping hydrated, can only offer some aid during an attack but will do nothing to address the cause of the issue. Prior to finding out about how Neuro-Structural Chiropractic can help restore normal function to the brain, and be a powerful migraine treatment option, we hear many folks had accepted the frequency of their pain as their norm. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Imagine a life where you can go day-to-day without headaches or migraines holding you back. A life where you can enjoy the present with more confidence in your ability to live a full life doing what you love. At Platinum Chiropractic, serving Willow Glen, San Jose, and Campbell, CA, we hold that hope for you. Many patients come in with the hope that Neuro-Structural chiropractic correction can help ease their pain, intensity, or frequency of headaches, and they are right! We provide solutions that actually address the underlying cause of chronic headaches and migraines. Schedule a Complimentary Consultation I've tried everything for my migraines and headaches!

Just Want To Speak To A Doctor? Schedule a Consultation Neuro-structural Chiropractic vs Conventional Chiropractic, and What Makes Us Different There are many chiropractic offices in our town. How are we different? Most chiropractic offices are of the conventional chiropractic type. Conventional chiropractic care typically aims to increase range of motion, decrease muscle spasm, and relieve pain temporarily. They provide general manipulation of the spine and physical therapy modalities to ease pain and discomfort. This type of care falls under the category of symptom reduction/management and conventional chiropractic is good for this type of care. San Jose Neuro-Structural Chiropractic Corrective Care At Platinum Chiropractic our approach is different. Our primary focus is Neuro-Structural Correction. This approach considers a deeper assessment of the spinal cord and nervous system. Your brain and nervous system are the Master System of your body, it’s the source from which your body receives constant signals in order to maintain health. The brain and nervous system controls and coordinates health and function to every cell, tissue and organ. Without a proper nerve connection our cells cannot regenerate themselves, which leads to cells becoming sick. The bones and joints of your spine protects this most vital system. Having a healthy spine is not an option. It is essential to life and having the best chance to be naturally healthy. Unfortunately stress and trauma are an unavoidable part of life which can cause our Neuro-Structure (spine and nerves) to shift, leading to secondary conditions (symptoms). Our focus is to analyze and detect these underlying issues and specifically reduce these problems and restore the spine to its natural state. We do this by utilizing scientific objective measurements to determine the presence of Neuro-Structural Shifts and work to correct those shifts with gentle and specific adjustments. We take a deep dive into your health/concern with a full Neuro-Structural Examination. This means we aren’t just addressing the symptom. We take a look at the full picture of your health to find the underlying cause of your health concern, help correct and restore your body to a normal state and help you live a better life. Think about it like this. If a house has a shifted foundation, you may find that you have problems with the walls cracking, the plumbing and electric systems malfunctioning, and the doors and windows not closing correctly. We can patch these individual symptoms by covering the cracks, putting grease on the windows or putting screws in the floor. This is how many people tend to treat their health issues, by using medications and even surgery to treat their symptoms. But, if the structure of your home is still shifted, these conditions will continue to occur and lead to other issues. Your spine is the foundation of your body, and directly connects and influences the health of every cell, tissue, and organ. After a course of Neuro-Structural Corrective care, we see a resolution of many health conditions and a restoration of people’s normal function. In short, their health returns and their quality of life improves. Most patients begin care when they start experiencing a health crisis, pain, or just not feeling like themselves, like something is off. They come to us looking for solutions to various symptoms, including back pain, neck pain, anxiety, digestive issues, headaches, migraines, sciatica, tingling, numbness, and low energy, to name a few. Many have already tried rest, over the counter pain relievers such as aspirin/ibuprofen, anti-inflammatory steroid injections, physical therapy and/or surgery depending on severity. But when there is a structural shift in the Neuro-Structure, no amount of pills, potions, stretches, or lotions can correct it. In order to restore normal function, your nervous system must be able to communicate effectively — a normal structure is the only way that can happen. Here at Platinum Chiropractic, we focus on the correction and reduction of Neuro-Structural shifts to help you restore and maintain the most vital part of your body, so you can live a healthy, vibrant life, doing what you love, without the dependency on medications or surgery. .

Do You suffer from Upper Back Pain? Muscle Tension? Disc Herniations? Nerve Damage? Do you find yourself adjusting your life around your back pain? Schedule Your Complimentary Consultation Today San Jose Chiropractor for Back Pain - Campbell, Willow Glen, CA Causes, Symptoms, & Effective Solutions Are you suffering from upper back pain? Do you struggle with your posture? Do you experience muscle tension, disc herniations, or nerve damage? Upper back pain is a common condition that affects people of all ages. It refers to discomfort or pain in the region of your spine between your neck and lower back, otherwise known as your thoracic spine. Your thoracic spine consists of twelve vertebrae labeled from T1 at the base of your neck down through T12 just below your ribs. Between each vertebra, nerves come out that supply life-essential information to your body. Specifically, the nerves exiting your thoracic spine go to your lungs and respiratory system, upper back muscles, shoulders, digestive centers, heart and cardiac system, liver, kidneys, adrenal glands, and reproductive organs. Back pain is a leading cause of work-loss days and work limitations, adding up to about 83 million days of work lost per year.¹ Approximately 80% of adults experience back pain in their lives. And while we don’t hear about the thoracic spine as often as the lumbar (lower back) and cervical spine (neck), studies show upper back or thoracic pain is just as disabling, impacting quality of life, long-term health and our ability to work. ² Schedule a Complimentary Consultation Our San Jose back pain Chiropractor may be the key to reducing your upper back pain? Upper back pain can impact your day-to-day activities in several ways. It can make it difficult to sit or stand for long periods, affecting your work, social life, and overall quality of life. It can also make it difficult to perform everyday tasks like dressing, cooking, and cleaning. Upper back pain can lead to headaches, muscle tension, shoulder and arm pain, and fatigue, further impacting your daily activities and preventing you from living your life. More seriously, upper back pain can impact your health. Chronic pain can lead to depression, anxiety, and decreased quality of life. Seventy-two percent of people with back pain report that feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or worthlessness have interfered with their lives. ³ It can also lead to decreased physical activity, contributing to weight gain, cardiovascular disease, and other health issues. If left untreated, upper back pain can lead to further complications, such as nerve damage, disc herniation, joint degeneration, muscle weakness or chronic muscle tension.

If left untreated, upper back pain can lead to further complications, such as nerve damage, disc herniation, joint degeneration, muscle weakness or chronic muscle tension. Upper back pain may be common, but it’s not normal. Pain is like a check engine light warning you that something is happening under the surface. So, what is the underlying cause of your upper back pain? And how can we help? When the spine shifts in the upper back, the underlying structure, vertebrae, joints, ligaments, and tendons can compress nerves that go down your shoulder and arm to your chest and ribs. We feel the larger muscles of the upper back, like the trapezius and rhomboids, become tight and constricted due to the stress, which creates muscle tension and imbalance, leading to more pain and dysfunction of the shoulder and shoulder blades. This leads to restricted motion of the back as well as the shoulder. What we don’t feel is the reduction in nerve supply going to our heart, liver, lungs, etc. Schedule a Complimentary Consultation Schedule a Complimentary Consultation I've tried everything for my upper back pain! How is Platinum Chiropractic different? At Platinum Chiropractic, we focus on Neuro-Structural Correction , which assesses the underlying structure of the spine and nervous system for Neuro-Structural Shifts. Think about it like this: if a house has a poor foundation, you may have secondary problems. The walls may be cracking, the plumbing or electric systems aren’t working right, and the doors and windows are not closing correctly. You can keep addressing these individual issues (symptoms), but they will likely keep recurring until the underlying cause is corrected (Neuro-Structural Shift). The spine serves as your body’s foundation, supporting all the organs, muscles, and connective tissue. By finding the underlying cause of your upper back pain, we can formulate a customized care plan to help restore your spine and nervous system to normal. Restoring proper function to the spine relieves pressure off the muscles, tendons, discs, and nerves. At that point, people begin to notice the symptoms of upper back pain improving due to better alignment and mobility in the spine. They can get back to living their lives normally and returning to the activities they love. Don’t let chronic upper back pain control your life any longer.

How is Platinum Chiropractic different?​ At Platinum Chiropractic, we focus on Neuro-Structural Correction, which assesses the underlying structure of the spine and nervous system for Neuro-Structural Shifts. Think about it like this: if a house has a poor foundation, you may have secondary problems. The walls may be cracking, the plumbing or electric systems aren’t working right, and the doors and windows are not closing correctly. You can keep addressing these individual issues (symptoms), but they will likely keep recurring until the underlying cause is corrected (Neuro-Structural Shift). The spine serves as your body’s foundation, supporting all the organs, muscles, and connective tissue.

Do You suffer from Sciatica? Back Pain? Do you find yourself putting your life on hold for sciatica and back pain? Schedule Your Complimentary Consultation Today San Jose Chiropractor for Sciatica and Back Pain Is nerve pain, numbing or shooting leg pain a normal occurrence for you? Are you tired of living with chronic back pain? Does your sciatica pain or leg pain make it difficult to enjoy your favorite activities? If you’re struggling with these issues, you’re not alone. An estimated 84% of adults in the US experience lower back pain at some point in their lives and sciatica symptoms affects up to 40% of the population! And it can be challenging to find treatment for sciatica. We understand how frustrating and debilitating it can be to live with chronic sciatic pain, and we’re here to help. For many of the patients seeking chiropractic treatment that come to us with back pain or sciatica, pain had become a regular part of their life. They were unable to stand, walk or even sit normally. Because it is so common to hear others mention their back pain or to suffer from it yourself on a regular basis, the pain can begin to seem like a normal part of aging, even casual. However, when your body is not able to do basic functions without pain, this is a clear indicator you should be seeking help for your condition. Chronic pain is a sign that something is going on with your body, and ignoring it can lead to further complications down the road. It’s important to take action and seek help as soon as possible. Schedule a Complimentary Consultation Is a Chiropractor for Sciatica the answer to your back pain? Back pain and sciatica can present in a variety of ways. Some people experience tight muscles, muscle spasms, stiffness, or a dull ache in their lower back, while others feel sharp, shooting pain that radiates down their legs. Sciatica, in particular, can be especially challenging to deal with. It can cause numbness, tingling, and weakness in the affected leg, and it can make it difficult to walk or stand for extended periods. Other common symptoms include: Persistent or recurring pain in the lower back, buttocks, or legs and feet Shooting pain, tingling, or numbness that radiates down the legs Inability to sit or stand for longer periods of time Muscle weakness in legs or difficulty walking Loss of control, balance or foot drop Difficulty standing up or sitting down Pain that worsens with movement or activity Sleep disturbances due to pain or discomfort Jolt or shock of nerve pain when coughing or sneezing Bladder & bowel issues Muscle cramps Menstrual problems Immune deficiency Poor circulation and cold feet Back pain and sciatica can present in a variety of ways.

They can make it difficult to work, exercise, or even complete simple tasks like grocery shopping or household chores. They can also have a negative impact on your mental health, leading to feelings of frustration, anxiety, and depression. Because of its impact on the body, constantly dealing with and managing back pain or sciatica can significantly impact your daily life, including: Having to miss work for periods of time, leading to less earning potential Unable to care for your family or loved ones in the way you want Avoiding social gatherings & activities that are outside of your physical comfort zone because of potential pain Struggling to get out of bed in the morning or into and out of your car It is no surprise that these symptoms and the reduced lifestyle they result in, resonates with so many people. Because of the wide variety of potential secondary conditions, sciatica can be a very loose diagnosis with no effective long term treatment plan under the standard medical approach. Some common treatments prescribed for sciatica include anti-inflammatory drugs, muscle relaxants, antidepressants, physical therapy, hot/cold packs, corticosteroid injections, and even surgery. These treatments have the potential to help manage the pain, though none of these address the root cause of the issue. Structural issues require structural solutions. Imagine a life where you can go day-to-day without sciatica or back pain holding you back. A life where you can enjoy the present with more confidence in your ability to live a full life doing what you love. Schedule a Complimentary Consultation Schedule a Complimentary Consultation I've tried everything for my Sciatica and back pain! How is Platinum Chiropractic different? At Platinum Chiropractic, we focus on Neuro-Structural Correction. Unlike conventional chiropractic care, which focuses on treating symptoms rather than addressing the root cause of the problem. Neuro-Structural Correction aims to correct the underlying issue by addressing the Neuro-Structural Shifts that are causing the nerve pressure, back pain, and sciatic pain. With our state of the art equipment we can objectively test for the presence of Neuro-Structural Shifts in the spine, finding the problem that directly correlates to the cause of back pain and sciatica. By identifying and addressing a Neuro-Structural Shift, we can help to restore proper function to the spine, taking pressure off the muscles, tendons, discs, and nerves. At that point, people begin to notice the symptoms of back pain and sciatica improving as a result of better alignment and mobility in the spine. Once we have identified the underlying causes of your pain, we create a personalized treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs. Our techniques are gentle and non-invasive, and we always prioritize our patients’ comfort and safety. Don’t let chronic back pain or sciatica control your life any longer.

Schedule a Complimentary Consultation Testimonials “The team at Platinum Chiropractic is as good as it gets. Three members of my family saw Dr. Karo for back and neck pain for more than a year. I began seeing him after suffering from sciatica pain stemming from a weight lifting injury. My two teenagers are unusually tall and their discomfort stemmed from growing so fast. Dr. Karo developed an individual plan for each of us and everyone has been relieved of their symptoms.” Lance Condray “[Dr. Karo] not only heals the problem area, but also draws attention to the whole body. On joint mobility, muscle tension, range of motion and, of course, the condition of the neck and spine. Treatment includes not only manual correction, but also sets of specific exercises, recommendations for sleep, sports, movement, vitamins and supplements. Dr. Karo always explains what happens to the body and what needs to be done to solve a particular problem. Now I live without back pain, I can move normally, at the same time my frequency of headaches has decreased." Olga S. “I didn't quite know what chiropractic was at the time, but I knew that I was suffering from a continuous annoying lower back pain, which made me feel much older than my 34 years of age. I also knew that discontinuing my workouts or taking painkillers was just not the answer. I felt that my body had a big potential that was just out of my reach. After just a few weeks of treatment at Platinum Chiropractic, and also following his instructions for "homework", I have felt an improvement in my pain level (which is now almost completely gone..), my range of mobility, the variety of movements I was able to do, and most important for me (though sounds so trifle..) the ability to stand and walk for longer than 5 minutes without that probing pain!” Liza Y. “Great place for spinal wellness! They use modern tools to show you your progress and after I completed my program with them my low back pain is practically non existent! I continue to go for maintenance and I couldn't be happier with the services and the data they use to show the difference.” Josh M. “I’ve been visiting Platinum Chiropractic in Santa Clara for the past 3 months and I can’t say enough about how great they are. I’ve been dealing with back pain for the past 4 years and now I finally wake up pain free! I highly recommend them!” Fawn L.

Schedule a Consultation Newsletter Signup Search Search Text Neck Relief Chiropractic Care Posture Isn’t Just How You Look; It’s How Your Body Functions Many think posture is just about standing tall or looking confident, but it’s much more than that. Posture reflects your structure, and your structure affects how your body functions. Posture = structure. Structure = function. That means the position of your spine doesn’t just influence how you feel day-to-day. It influences how your body works. Poor posture has become increasingly common, especially here in the San Jose, Silicon Valley area, where many spend long hours working at a desk, commuting, or using devices. Over time, this forward posture places stress on the spine and nervous system, which can lead to issues such as tech neck, head-forward posture, neck pain, headaches, migraines, shoulder tension, and upper back tightness. These resulting conditions are often only the beginning. Research shows that poor posture can reduce lung capacity, making it harder to take full, deep breaths. Lower oxygen levels affect your energy, endurance, and even your ability to recover from physical or mental stress. Many patients dealing with fatigue, brain fog, or difficulty concentrating don’t realize their posture may be playing a role. Studies have also linked poor posture with reduced cognitive performance , meaning how clearly you think, focus, and process information can be impacted by your spinal alignment. Your spine protects your nervous system, which carries signals between your brain and body. When posture shifts and the spine loses its proper structure, that communication becomes less efficient. This can contribute to ongoing issues like chronic neck pain, recurring headaches, migraines, postural fatigue, disk herniations, pinched nerves, and tension that doesn’t seem to resolve. For many people, these symptoms gradually become “normal”, but they’re often a sign that the body isn’t functioning at its best. At Platinum Chiropractic, we take a more precise approach to corrective chiropractic care. Through specific chiropractic adjustments, we address the underlying Neuro-Structural shifts that impact posture and nervous system function. Instead of guessing, we use objective measurements, including advanced imaging like 4-way motion X-rays, to assess how your spine is moving and functioning. This allows us to identify the root cause of posture-related issues and create a personalized care plan, including safe, specific chiropractic adjustments to improve spinal alignment, restore proper nervous system communication, and support long-term health. Because better posture isn’t about forcing yourself to “sit up straight.” It’s about correcting the underlying structure so your body can function the way it was designed to. If you are in the San Jose, Campbell, or Willow Glen areas and are dealing with tech neck, neck pain, headaches, migraines, poor posture, or ongoing tension, schedule a consultation with us at Platinum Chiropractic to take a deeper look at what’s really going on and see how we can help.

Just Want To Speak To A Doctor? Schedule a Consultation Treatment Options for Pain and What Platinum Chiropractic Can Offer There are a myriad of treatment options for pain offered by both medical and natural health practitioners. Most doctors and healthcare providers are focused on pain and symptom relief (Secondary Conditions), regardless of whether they do so naturally, medically, or therapeutically. People often start with medication or herbal/homeopathic remedies which help turn off pain receptors or decrease the symptoms. If that doesn’t work, then courses of physical therapy may be used to strengthen muscular weakness, address spasm, or increase mobility. Injection programs to calm the site of pain come in next. When those don’t work, more invasive procedures like surgery start to fall into the picture. All of these treatment programs are effective in the appropriate time and place but have different goals. Our goal at Platinum Chiropractic is to restore the structural integrity of your spine. In our practice, we focus on specific chiropractic adjustments to remove Neuro-Structural Shifts of the spine. Many of our patients come to us frustrated after trying traditional treatments which helped temporarily, but did not fix their problems or keep them from returning. Our plans are tailored to each individual depending on the severity of the Neuro-Structural Shift. The adjustments are precise, and are part of a comprehensive plan to correct the Neuro-Structural Shifts. Complimentary recommendations will be made to assist the body in quicker recovery and help achieve optimal correction of your structural abnormalities. It is important to note that correcting a Neuro-Structural Shift does not happen overnight. It takes time and repetition. However, investing the time and energy into fixing your body’s foundation is one of the best things you can do for your health. If during your consultation or exam Dr. Karo finds that what we do isn’t the best option for you, or if additional care is indicated, then you will be referred to someone in our preferred network, which consists of excellent doctors and health care providers in the Bay Area with whom Dr. Karo has developed a professional relationship. This will ensure that your needs will be met, and you will be put in the right hands. Previous: What To Know Before My Exam Next: What Can Platinum Chiropractic Do For Me?

Do You suffer from Vertigo? Dizziness? Loss of Balance? Hearing Loss? Ringing Ears? At Platinum Chiropractic, we believe that vertigo is not something you have to live with. schedule your complimentary consultation today Platinum Chiropractic is a leading San Jose Chiropractor for Vertigo Relief and Balance Restoration Can a chiropractor help with vertigo? Neuro-structural corrective chiropractic is not only an effective treatment option for vertigo but essential when addressing the root cause of the issue. To understand how it works, let’s take a closer look at what vertigo is, why it happens, what conventional treatment options are, and how our approach to vertigo treatment here at Platinum Chiropractic is different. Vertigo is a common condition that affects most of the population at least once in their lifetime. It is more common among older people, though it can happen to anyone. There are two types of vertigo: peripheral and central. Some telltale signs you are experiencing vertigo include the following: Dizziness Difficulty focusing the eyes Loss of balance and potential falls Hearing loss in one or both ears Ringing in the ears Nausea and vomiting leading to loss of body fluids and dehydration People who experience vertigo differentiate it from lightheadedness. With vertigo, they describe the sensation as though they are actually spinning or moving or that the world is spinning around them. Schedule a Complimentary Consultation Understanding the Symptoms and Effects of Vertigo is Important But We Target the Cause​ Dealing with vertigo can be quite challenging and dangerous. The spinning sensation is disorienting and often leads to losing balance and falling. Aside from falling, other symptoms that come as a result of vertigo include: difficulty swallowing double vision eye movement problems facial paralysis slurred speech weakness of the arms and legs As you can imagine, the effects of vertigo can be jarring and significantly impact one’s quality of life. Many folks may begin to get out less and stop doing the activities they enjoy to avoid triggering their symptoms. Many even lose their ability to drive. Common treatments for those suffering from vertigo: keeping still avoiding sudden movement avoiding bright lights performing the Epley maneuver prescription drugs physical therapy to improve balance However, none of these options address what caused vertigo in the first place. So then, what causes vertigo? Understanding the Symptoms and Effects of Vertigo is Important But We Target the Cause Dealing with vertigo can be quite challenging and dangerous.

Common treatments for those suffering from vertigo: keeping still avoiding sudden movement avoiding bright lights performing the Epley maneuver prescription drugs physical therapy to improve balance However, none of these options address what caused vertigo in the first place. So then, what causes vertigo? If this is you, you are not alone. Central vertigo is caused by an issue in the brain, typically in the brain stem or in the back part of the brain. Peripheral vertigo is often caused by pressure in the vestibular nerve between the inner ear and the brain stem. Platinum Chiropractic is a top San Jose chiropractor for vertigo. Our approach to treatment is different. We look at what’s actually causing vertigo rather than focusing solely on symptom treatment. So if medical science has shown that issues in the brain and pressure on the nerves are the leading cause of vertigo, how is this addressed? Schedule a Complimentary Consultation I've tried everything! How is Platinum different? The good news, this area is our exact focus with Neuro-Structural Correction: identify and relieve pressure on the nerves by restoring proper alignment of the spinal cord, taking pressure off the pathways of communication between your brain, spine and nerves so that they can heal and function normally. When patients come to us with vertigo, we first question why you are experiencing these symptoms. What is your body telling us? How is your underlying structure and nervous system function impacting your health? Our thorough Neuro-Structural Chiropractic Examination is designed to tell us just that. By identifying and addressing a Neuro-Structural Shift, we can help restore proper spine function, taking pressure off the brain and nerves. We use objective measures to identify the underlying cause of your vertigo by testing for Neuro-Structural Shifts in the spine. If a Neuro-Structural Shift has been found, we create a personalized care plan tailored to each individual’s specific needs. Our techniques are gentle and non-invasive, and we prioritize our patients’ comfort and safety. Soon after beginning care, many people start to notice the symptoms of vertigo improving due to better alignment and mobility in the spine. If you are suffering from vertigo, we offer a drug-free, long-term solution. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Karo so you can get back to living a healthy, vibrant life without drugs or surgery.

Here at Platinum Chiropractic we have a patient centered approach, getting to know you and your health history and goals before we begin. Our primary focus is identifying and treating Neuro-Structural shifts in the spine, which are usually the cause of many different symptoms – so pain/symptom relief is naturally a byproduct of the work we do. Our thorough examination using objective measures directs us to the underlying cause of your headaches and migraines. We can test for Neuro-Structural Shifts in areas of the spine which have a high correlation in causing migraines and headaches. We use state of the art equipment to assess and locate nerve irritation and structural abnormalities. The best part is when patients begin care, they can have immediate reductions in pain and dysfunction. People frequently tell us at their progress examinations that they stopped taking migraine medications because they’ve been migraine free for weeks and even months!

What is a Neuro-Structural Shift? What are Secondary Conditions? What To Know Before My Exam What Are My Treatment Options? What Can Platinum Do For Me? How Do I Work With Platinum? Just Want To Speak To A Doctor? Schedule a Consultation I started Platinum Chiropractic because I saw a void in the care available to our community here in San Jose, specifically the lack of Neuro-Structural Corrective care. The care we offer here in the practice has effects on so many more things than just your back. It’s about the whole body staying connected through your nerve system. Everything is connected! And by restoring the foundation of your body to a healthy state, your body functions better. It is better able to heal and protect you from illness and ailments throughout your life. Many patients ask why I decided to become a chiropractor. If you are interested, you can check out my story below: Dr. Karo Isajan Dr. Karo Isajan is the top doctor here at Platinum Chiropractic in San Jose, CA. He lives a very active lifestyle with his wife Kristen. He enjoys weight lifting, swimming, yoga, traveling, and camping whenever possible. But life wasn’t always this way, and there was a time when he had lost all hope. When Dr. Karo Isajan was 18 years old, he was awarded a full-ride scholarship for springboard diving, like in the Olympics, which enabled him to receive his undergraduate education. Shortly after he started training, he began experiencing warning signs of a back problem. He pushed through the warning signs in order to continue competing until the pain got so bad that he couldn’t even put his socks on. He was referred to the athletic trainer, physical therapist, and various doctors, but the problem wasn’t getting any better. The pain and restricted range of motion were actually getting worse! His health and quality of life began to deteriorate, and his studies were being affected. Until finally, Dr. Karo Isajan found himself in a dark, dingy basement hospital waiting room full of terminally ill patients. It was in this doctor’s office that Dr. Isajan was told they still didn’t know what the cause of his pain was, but the next step was to have surgery. He was crushed. Dr. Karo was going to lose his scholarship, and his ability to go to school. That is when he realized “There must be a better answer than this!” It was at this point that Dr. Karo sought out a chiropractor who reminded him that the body is self-healing and self-regulating and that pain is just a signal telling us something isn’t working correctly. He gave Dr. Karo hope! With the help of his chiropractor, Dr. Karo started to heal, and his pain began to go away. He was able to keep his scholarship for diving and even qualify for NCAA National Championship. It was this experience that inspired Dr. Karo to become a chiropractor so that others can live a life they love, free from the medical rat race, and heal not only from pain but also from underlying causes. Dr. Karo is one of only a handful of Neuro-Structural Chiropractors in San Jose, CA, and the Bay Area. He has been in private practice in the San Jose California area since 2012 and earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic West , where he received numerous academic awards including the Virgil Strang Philosophy Award. He presently serves on the Board of the California Chiropractic Association Santa Clara County District and is an active member of many other organizations, chiropractic and otherwise, including the Campbell Chamber of Commerce .
