Health care and health services play a key role in the overall wellness
of today’s society. Those seeking chiropractic care as part of these
services might want to investigate Valley Spine Center, at 4825 Hopyard
Road, a relatively new Hacienda practice that has been in operation
since June of 2004.
“My role is to detect and correct the areas of your spine that are out
of alignment and are impairing your body’s ability to function, thus
producing pain and poor health,” says Brian Brown, D.C. (Doctor of
Chiropractic), owner and primary treating doctor at both Valley Spine
Center in Pleasanton and Brown Chiropractic in Milpitas. “We provide
care for all ages and body types. Your body has an innate intelligence
that is constantly working to produce optimal health. Our primary
service is manual manipulation of the vertebrae to eliminate mechanical
problems of the spine. We also have a low impact technique called an
activator, on-site x-ray, and a work conditioning area to help patients
stimulate the proper regrowth of the muscles and tissue around the
injured area.”
Brown is also certified to perform what is known as Manipulation under
Anesthesia. Using this technique, patients who have extremely chronic
conditions are brought to the Pleasanton Surgery Center and placed
under anesthesia, where Brown says he is able to break down the scar
tissue that forms from the improper healing of spinal injuries.
Dr. Brown’s first career was as a realtor in San Jose. After seeing his
mother suffer with migraine headaches for years and get great results
with her chiropractor, he entered the prestigious Palmer Chiropractic
College in 1982. After graduating in 1985, he began his new career as
an associate doctor in Los Altos and opened his own practice in 1988 in
Milpitas. In 1999, Brown and his wife moved from Fremont to Pleasanton,
where they decided to open a second location. Between the two locations
Brown employs 15 people overall, with three located in Hacienda.
“Our practice is extremely time sensitive, and family focused,” Brown
says. “We specialize in the treatment of work and auto accident
injuries and we strive to help educate the Tri-Valley about the
importance of spinal hygiene to achieve optimal health without the use
of drugs or surgery.” The Valley Spine Center offers a spinal care
class free of charge every Tuesday from 6:00-6:45 p.m. Those interested
in the classes should contact the Valley Spine Center at (925) 924-0920
to reserve a seat in advance.
