Low back pain doesn’t just make things uncomfortable. It changes how you move, how you sleep, and how you feel throughout the day. At Intero Chiropractic in San Jose, we help people who are tired of temporary fixes. If you’ve been relying on painkillers, stretching routines, or standard adjustments that never last, you’re in the right place.
Our team focuses on results. That starts with identifying the exact cause of your pain using full-spine digital X-rays, thermography, and structural analysis. Then we build a care plan that corrects the problem at its source.
We’ve helped thousands of patients across San Jose, Sunnyvale, Milpitas, and nearby areas finally find relief. If you’re searching for real answers, we’re ready to help.
Most people come to us after they’ve already tried everything. Primary care visits. Over-the-counter medication. Rest. Injections. Even surgery consultations. None of it created long-term change.
That’s because most options only manage symptoms. They don’t address what’s causing the pain in the first place. We do.
At Intero Chiropractic, we combine advanced diagnostics with structural chiropractic care that’s based on data, not guesswork. You’ll receive a clear diagnosis, a specific plan, and measurable progress — without relying on drugs or invasive procedures.
We proudly care for patients from:
No matter how long you’ve been dealing with pain, we’re here to help you move forward with confidence.

Our founder developed the Intero Method after his wife suffered a back injury that no treatment could fix. That experience became the foundation for everything we do today.
The Intero Method is a proven system that corrects spinal structure, restores nerve function, and supports long-term recovery.
Our goal is not just short-term relief. We want you to sleep better, move better, and function better every single day. Every patient at our San Jose clinic receives:
Not all back pain is the same. That’s why we never guess. Our diagnostics help us understand the exact issue so we can correct it properly. Here are the most common conditions we treat in San Jose:
When the pelvis rotates or tilts unevenly, it shifts the entire spine. This causes muscle tension, joint compression, and nerve irritation in the lower back. We correct pelvic rotation through precise adjustments and support your alignment with posture coaching and stabilizing rehab.
Sciatica pain begins in the lower back and travels down one or both legs. It’s often caused by nerve pressure from a misaligned spine or disc compression. Our care plan focuses on reducing the pressure, restoring movement, and calming inflammation — without medication or injections.
Compressed discs can occur from poor posture, injuries, or repetitive strain. This often leads to stiffness, pain, and nerve sensitivity. We improve disc spacing through structural correction and supportive movement strategies that help the body heal naturally.
Sometimes the spine shifts over time due to habit, injury, or improper lifting. This imbalance throws off the body's center of gravity and creates chronic pain in the lower back. We use imaging to pinpoint the exact shift, then correct it over time with targeted care.
“After trying everything from meds to massage, I finally found a team that took the time to figure out why my back was hurting. I’m moving better and even sleeping through the night.”

“The X-rays showed exactly what was wrong with my lower spine. I had no idea how much my posture was affecting everything until they explained it.”

“I was commuting from Sunnyvale with back pain that wouldn’t go away. After a few weeks with Intero, it was like my whole body reset.”

Low back pain can affect everything — from your ability to work, to how you sleep, to how much energy you have at the end of the day. You don’t have to live with it. At Intero Chiropractic, we’ve helped thousands of San Jose patients correct the root cause of their pain and finally feel like themselves again. Whether your condition is new or something you’ve been dealing with for years, we’re ready to help.
We treat low back pain in San Jose using our proven diagnostic process. If you're also experiencing neck pain or scoliosis, our team can build a care plan around your full spine. We also serve patients from Pleasanton and Fremont.

What does a chiropractic assessment for low back pain look like at Intero San Jose?
At Intero Chiropractic in San Jose, the assessment process is more thorough than what most patients have experienced elsewhere. Your first visit begins with a full health history intake, followed by spinal thermography to measure inflammation and nerve activity, and full-spine digital X-rays to identify the structural problems contributing to your low back pain. A 30-point structural exam is also performed. All of this information is reviewed by the doctor before a separate review appointment where they walk you through your diagnosis, explain the root cause of your pain, and present a care plan tailored to your specific condition.
Can Intero Chiropractic in San Jose treat low back pain caused by a herniated disc?
Yes. Herniated discs are one of the primary causes of low back pain, and the Intero team in San Jose is experienced in treating this condition. When a disc becomes compressed or herniated, it can cause sharp, radiating pain, stiffness, and nerve sensitivity throughout the lower back. Intero's approach uses full-spine X-rays and spinal thermography to confirm the location and extent of disc involvement, then addresses it through structural chiropractic adjustments and targeted rehabilitation designed to reduce nerve pressure and restore proper disc spacing. Many patients with disc-related low back pain have found lasting relief through this approach after other treatments failed to produce results.
How does chiropractic care compare to physical therapy for low back pain in San Jose?
Both chiropractic care and physical therapy can play a role in treating low back pain, but they address the problem differently. Physical therapy typically focuses on strengthening muscles and improving mobility, which can help manage symptoms. Chiropractic care at Intero San Jose goes a step further by identifying and correcting the structural and spinal misalignments that are actually causing the pain in the first place. Using full-spine X-rays and thermography, Intero's doctors build a care plan around your exact anatomy. Many patients who have already completed physical therapy without lasting relief find that correcting the underlying structural cause at Intero produces the results they were looking for.
What should I expect at my first low back pain appointment at Intero San Jose?
Your first appointment at Intero Chiropractic in San Jose is focused entirely on getting answers, not rushing into adjustments. The team will take a full health history, perform spinal thermography, and take digital full-spine X-rays. You will not receive a generic adjustment on your first visit. Instead, your results are reviewed in depth before a follow-up review appointment where your doctor explains exactly what is causing your low back pain, what the treatment plan looks like, and what kind of timeline you can expect. Most patients appreciate finally having a clear explanation of their pain and a data-driven plan to address it.
