Dr. Brad Pluckhan and his wife, Piper, who has her Masters degree in physical therapy, are committed to bringing you better health and a better way of life by teaching and practicing not just how to get better, but how to stay better!

Dr. Brad Pluckhan began his career in spinal rehabilitation during the late 80’s at a large rehabilitation clinic in San Jose, CA. “From early on, I loved the challenge of bringing a patient who really thought they were going to have a life filled with back pain, to a reality that they could get better,” Dr. Pluckhan. “I found that most patients were missing a true understanding of why they have the problems they do and what they needed to do in order to change their condition for the long term.”chiropractor gilroy Home

He graduated Cum Laude from Palmer College of Chiropractic-West in San Jose in 1996 and opened his first practice in Los Gatos. “Initially I worked with a lot of athletes, but found that these patients were already on their way to better health and realized that a greater challenge were those individuals who have traveled further down the road of poor spinal health.”

Patients seeking treatment at Crossroads are assured of receiving only the finest quality Chiropractic care through the use of modern equipment and technology. The practice focus is on family practice, elders, adults, teens, children, and sports medicine.

At Crossroads Back & Neck Care Center, we implement the integration of chiropractic, physical therapy, decompression therapy, and massage therapy.

We have achieved a standard of excellence which has been proven in two other practices in the

Bay Area and brought it to this small town environment.
