Our Care Priorities
Mobility First.
Mobility First.
Strength Second.
Our first goal is to restore comfortable, functional mobility. Once you can move through an appropriate range of motion, we build the strength and stability needed to support it.
Strengthening a restricted movement pattern may reinforce compensations and place unnecessary stress on other areas of the body. That’s why we improve movement quality first, then progressively strengthen it.
Motor Vehicle Accident & Personal Injury

Patient Reviews
What Our Patients Say
4.5 stars on Yelp · 136 reviews · Trusted by San Jose patients since 2010.
"Can't recommend Dr. Nguyen enough! He is super informative and great at explaining what is going on, what you need to do outside of appointments as supplementary exercises. Great doctor with a lot of knowledge."
"I've been a patient of Dr. Lam's for years. He has helped me improve my posture and deal with the many issues I have had including sports injuries, car accidents, surgery, etc. He's absolutely the best, especially if you're an athlete. Other professionals I've seen — including PTs, MDs, and even surgeons — do not have his depth of understanding and ability to actually fix things. Can't recommend this practice enough."
"I have had a frozen shoulder and a frozen hip. I have tried cortisone injections, physical therapy, other chiropractors. No one has been able to give me full movement in my hip and shoulder again except Dr. Lam Nguyen. He's the BEST!!"
