At Positive Motion Chiropractic we don't just treat sports injuries. We all push ourselves doing our favorite sports - sometimes to the point of getting injured. First hand, we know what it takes to get out of pain fast and back using our bodies. We have no patience when an injury sidelines us and we know you don't either.
At Positive Motion Chiropractic in Los Gatos we have built our reputation on being problem solvers. Getting patients out of pain and back to doing what they love in just a handful of visits. Our mastery of a number of non-invasive, drug-free treatment options allows us to treat each patient based on their preference while achieving lasting results.
Dr. Brant Pedersen has always been an athlete. When he is not treating patients he can be found surfing in Santa Cruz, biking, or enjoying the slopes in Tahoe with his family. Dr. Pedersen knows how frustrating being injured is and also how being told "just rest it" and "maybe you're just getting old."
Aryn's favorite place to be is outside in the beautiful wild parts of the world. She believes that living in positive motion (always striving to learn, grow, and better ourselves) is the only way that we can truely engage our best selves and experience our best lives.

Long review here because Dr. Pedersen deserves it and I can’t recommend him enough. I came to Dr. Pedersen after trying a few different chiropractors to address an L4-L5 injury causing impingement on my S1 nerve root. I experienced the injury in 2017 deadlifting, and over the course of five years it got progressively worse as I continued to train, compete, and untimely make the S1 nerve increasingly irritated because I didn’t have the knowledge to fix it. After weeks of 10/10 pain that had me depressed and not able to participate in my sport, I emailed a spine surgeon ready to do a microdiscectomy

I highly recommend Dr Pedersen! His knowledge of the body, muscles, and joints is superior. I have had amazing results as his patient! Recently, I had what I thought was an inner ear infection; after seeing Dr Pedersen, he told me it was Vertigo and worked on my neck. He also gave me exercises to help get rid of it. Just to be sure, I had an appointment with an Ear, Nose and Throat Doctor. The Dr told me that everything Dr Pedersen did was correct, and I should continue with his exercises and adjustments - it was Vertigo! The ENT Doctor said he didn't want to do any other treatment on me because

I am very active with Tennis. I've been to so many PT/Chiropractors. Brant is very different than the rest. He knows what he's doing, creates a plan and makes sure one reaches the goals of this plan.
It took me five visits to resolve an ankle issue I had for a while. Since then, I play Tennis freely and have no pain.

I have had a major lower back problem for the past 9 months. To me, it felt as though something was "out of place", causing pain near my sacrum/lumbar spine. It has stopped me from all athletic activities, and really affected my day to day life for 9 months. I have been to three doctors who all have simply tried to prescribe me drugs or recommend PT to solve this issue.
Today, Brandt was able to completely fix the entire issue in 20 minutes. He was able to find the exact problem areas without me even saying anything. He made me feel extremely comfortable the entire time.
I am SO grateful, and

He will fix you. My coworkers all recommended Brandt Pedersen at Positive Motion Chiropractic. They all said, he will fix you. I went in with neck and upper back pain from repetitive stress (hardhats, bad ergonomics, etc.). He not only did adjustments (neck, back, limbs), he will gave me the tools and exercises to fix the problem, and strengthen the muscles whose weakness contributed to it. I've tried other chiropractors and all they did was adjust my back and send me away. This did nothing to fix the underlying problem or provide a long term solution for my pain.

Dr. Brant is great. Apart from regular chiropractic care that has improved shoulder pain I have had for years - he helped me with a heel pain that I got after jumping on some rocks at a beach a few months ago. He got me an X-ray and Radiologist reading for $25 - that's right $25. Since there was no fracture to my heel he recommend Gel Heel cups which I bought on Amazon for $10. I am sure if I had gone to a doctor and then a specialist this whole process would have cost me a few thousand dollars....highly recommended and a very nice guy as well!

I want to give a shout out for Dr. Vanessa Nordin at Positive Motion Chiropractic. Her special gift is working with young athletes. She gets them on the way to healing and feeling better faster, so that they can get back in the game, At the same time she helps the budding soccer player or gymnast understand more about how to move and play in a way that is going to support day-in-and-day-out body health. I really appreciate Dr. Nordin’s focus on educating. Her goal is to prevent future problems by setting up good habits today.

I just took the sitting class and loved it! Who knew, I have been doing it wrong all along. Being a full time student I find myself unable to sit still for very long. The doctors are very knowledgeable and taught me the proper way to sit while in class all day. I already feel more comfortable and I haven't noticed any knee pain since. I highly recommend this class to everyone.

Dr. Petersen is the absolute best. After having decades of back, hip, and knee issues, he has diagnosed and adjusted me (as well as giving me restorative exercise "homework") that painlessly restored me to a level of mobility and balance I haven't had in years. He's been especially helpful as I lost weight after bariatric surgery and had to adjust to a new center of gravity and other changes to my body.

I've been going to Dr. Pedersen for years and can I just say that his skills and knowledge of his craft always seem to amaze me. Not only can he fix what's aching in no time, but helps me with my overall health issues as well (health isn't always just physical, but mental as well). He doesn't try to make you pay a lump sum upfront or require more visits than you need. He makes you strive to live a healthier lifestyle because you realize it does make a difference. I always leave better than I went in and it's not just a temporary fix for a few hours either. He truly cares, has a wonderful and soothing
