Chiropractic Care That Puts You First
Some clinics rely on long-term care plans or quick, routine adjustments. We take a different approach: one that’s honest, individualized, and focused on meaningful results.
• One-on-one care with focused attention
• Comprehensive movement assessment at every visit
• Hands-on treatment tailored to what your body needs
• A clear plan forward, so you know exactly what to expect
Our goal is not to keep you coming in forever, it’s to help you understand your body, move with confidence, and get back to doing what you love.

About Our Practice
What makes Modern Movement Chiropractic different from other chiropractors? +
Dr. Daniel Cagape holds both a Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) and a Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) certification — a combination rare in chiropractic practice. This means care goes beyond adjustments to include corrective exercise, movement rehabilitation, and strength programming. Every patient receives a same-day care plan on their first visit. The goal is not ongoing dependency — it's to fix the root cause and build a body that doesn't keep breaking down.
Does Dr. Cagape offer personal training alongside chiropractic care? +
Yes. Dr. Cagape is a Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) in addition to his Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) license. Personal training and corrective exercise are integrated into care plans where appropriate — allowing patients to move from pain relief through full rehabilitation and into strength and performance training without changing providers.
How is this different from The Joint Chiropractic? +
The Joint Chiropractic is a high-volume walk-in model focused on quick adjustments with no exam, no diagnosis, and no personalized care plan. At Modern Movement Chiropractic, every new patient receives a comprehensive orthopedic exam, movement assessment, and same-day Report of Findings. Care plans are individualized and include corrective exercise and strength rehabilitation.
Cost & Insurance
How much does a chiropractic visit cost without insurance in Milpitas? +
The new patient exam is $90 (limited offer, normally $180) and includes a comprehensive exam, movement assessment, same-day care plan, and your first adjustment. Follow-up visits are $60 for a standard 10-minute visit and $85 for an extended 30-minute visit. Visit packages are available at a discount. All pricing is flat and transparent — no surprise bills.
Do I need insurance to see a chiropractor? +
No. Modern Movement Chiropractic is primarily a cash-pay practice — no insurance is required. We accept Landmark and United Healthcare. For PPO plan holders we can provide a superbill for self-submission to insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
Do you accept insurance at Modern Movement Chiropractic? +
We accept Landmark and United Healthcare. For all other insurance plans we operate as an out-of-network cash-pay practice. PPO plan holders can receive a superbill for potential reimbursement. We do not accept HMO plans or Medi-Cal.
Conditions & Treatment
What conditions do you treat most often? +
We treat back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, headaches, sciatica, hip pain, sports injuries, and mobility limitations. Dr. Cagape also addresses movement issues caused by postural imbalances, repetitive stress, and desk work. Corrective exercise is incorporated into every care plan — not just adjustments.
Can a chiropractor help with back pain from sitting at a desk all day? +
Yes. Prolonged sitting is one of the most common causes of low back pain, neck pain, and postural dysfunction. Treatment includes chiropractic adjustments to restore spinal joint motion, soft-tissue therapy to release tight hip flexors, and corrective exercises to address postural imbalances desk work creates.
Can chiropractic care help with sports injuries? +
Yes. Chiropractic care is effective for sports injuries including muscle strains, ligament sprains, shoulder impingement, IT band syndrome, patellar tendinopathy, and spinal injuries. Dr. Cagape's CPT background means rehabilitation is incorporated directly into the care plan — athletes return to sport stronger with reduced re-injury risk.
What is the difference between a chiropractor and a physical therapist? +
Chiropractors are licensed doctors (DC) trained to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal conditions with a focus on spinal and joint manipulation. Physical therapists focus on exercise-based rehabilitation. Dr. Cagape holds both a DC and a CPT — bridging both disciplines with diagnostic manual therapy and progressive exercise rehabilitation.
Do you offer cupping therapy or soft-tissue treatments? +
Yes. We provide cupping therapy, Graston technique (IASTM), Normatec compression massage, and soft-tissue therapy as part of a comprehensive care approach. Treatment is tailored to each patient's condition and goals.
What is shockwave therapy used for? +
Shockwave therapy treats chronic pain, tendinopathies, plantar fasciitis, calcific shoulder conditions, and stubborn soft-tissue problems that haven't responded to other treatments. It delivers targeted acoustic energy to stimulate tissue healing and reduce pain.
How long does it take to feel better with chiropractic care? +
Many patients experience noticeable relief within 1–3 visits for acute conditions. Chronic or complex issues typically require 6–12 visits to address the root cause and build lasting improvement. Every patient receives a clear care plan on their first visit with an expected timeline — no open-ended plans.
Booking & Logistics
How do I know if I need a chiropractor? +
If you are experiencing ongoing pain, tightness, decreased mobility, recurring injuries, or movement that simply doesn't feel right, a chiropractic assessment can help. Every new patient at Modern Movement receives a comprehensive exam and same-day Report of Findings — so you leave knowing exactly what's wrong and what the plan is.
Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor in California? +
