Services
EPAT Shockwave Therapy
EPAT Shockwave Therapy uses acoustic pressure waves to accelerate tissue healing and reduce pain. This non-invasive treatment targets injured areas, stimulating blood flow and cellular repair. Ideal for chronic pain, sports injuries, and musculoskeletal conditions, it offers drug-free recovery with minimal downtime.
Electro-Acuscope
Electro-Acuscope delivers microcurrents to restore cellular energy flow, reducing pain and inflammation. It addresses nerve damage, muscle strains, and chronic conditions by enhancing ATP production. This therapy promotes natural healing without medication, suitable for acute and long-term ailments.
Active Release Technique
Active Release Technique (A.R.T.) treats soft tissue injuries through targeted manual pressure and movement. It breaks scar tissue adhesions, improving mobility and function. Effective for repetitive strain injuries, headaches, and sports-related pain, this hands-on approach restores tissue flexibility and reduces discomfort.
Custom Orthotics
Custom orthotics provide tailored foot support for walking, running, and cycling. Using advanced biomechanical analysis, we create devices that correct alignment, alleviate pain, and enhance performance. These orthotics address plantar fasciitis, flat feet, and gait imbalances for lasting comfort.
Rehabilitation Exercises
Rehabilitation exercises focus on restoring strength, flexibility, and stability post-injury. Tailored programs include stretches, resistance training, and mobility drills. These exercises prevent recurrence, improve posture, and support recovery from musculoskeletal conditions or surgeries.

Dr Gorgani and her staff (Amet and Megali) have been instrumental in helping me on my health journey. I have received such EXCELLENT care, not just as a patient but also as a human being. She is great about coming up with effective ways I can help treat my issues at home on my own, and is creative in finding solutions when progress stagnates. An incredibly compassionate individual

Dr. Gorgani is amazing. She is very knowledgeable and she truly cares. She has cured my knee after many treatments with other specialists weren't successful. Melody and everyone else at the office is super helpful, friendly and caring. Highly recommended!

Dr. Gorgani is very professional and extremely thorough with her care. I wouldn't have recovered from my tennis elbow without her! I was so glad to see that Spine & Therapy has continued to offer appointments through the pandemic.

This place is a godsend. They take insurance and offer shockwave therapy which was recommended my dr at Stanford. There aren't many places in the Bay Area that offer this at a reasonable cost. This office even takes insurance. I was dealing with si joint pain for over a year and did everything from massage cortisone injections pt and other chiropractic. I was pre surgery. Dr gorgani listened to my full history and was empathetic and offered rehab exercises that made the most sense. Thank you also the Charlene who got my in ASAP.
