Dr. Jorge Rosado, DC Chiropractor || Soft Tissue Specialist || Movement Focused Care Dr. Jorge Rosado is a chiropractor with a passion for helping people move better, feel stronger, and perform at their best—whether that’s dominating a volleyball match, or just living pain-free through everyday life. A graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic West in San Jose, Dr. Rosado is part of one of the final classes from the legendary Palmer West. While in school, he logged over 100 hours treating athletes at events ranging from soccer tournaments to endurance races, giving him hands-on experience with injury management, recovery, and performance care. He holds a certification in SFMA (Selective Functional Movement Assessment) and specializes in treating sports-related injuries through a combination of chiropractic adjustments and advanced soft tissue therapies, including IASTM , cupping, and trigger point release. Dr. Rosado’s path to chiropractic started on the volleyball court. While playing at the collegiate level, he developed lower back pain mid-season. After exhausting the resources in the athletic training room, he turned to the team chiropractor—and experienced instant relief. With continued care, he went on to earn All-PCAC 2nd Team honors. That season changed everything. Shadowing his chiropractor, Dr. Rosado saw firsthand the impact of this work and knew he wanted to offer that same life-changing care to others. His approach is simple: it’s all about your goals. Whether it’s getting back to a sport, recovering from an injury, or tackling everyday tasks without pain, Dr. Rosado works with you to get results. He believes no condition is too big or too small, and that every patient is an opportunity to learn, grow, and improve—together. When he’s not in the clinic, you’ll likely find him playing volleyball (indoor or on the beach), trail running, lifting weights, or cycling. As someone who lives an active lifestyle, he understands how important it is to keep your body feeling good and moving well. This isn’t just a job—it’s his life. He’s committed, driven, and fully focused on helping you reach your goals. “Helping one person might not change the whole world, but it could change the world for one person.” — Unknown
