Our story
Built on a simple idea: real pain relief, true care
Dr. Supreet Shah grew up with a natural, whole-body approach to health. His parents, both raised in India, preferred real food and healthy habits over reaching for medication first, and that outlook shaped his path into chiropractic care.
After earning his Doctor of Chiropractic at Palmer College of Chiropractic in San Jose and a master's in nutrition, he spent five years training at one of the largest practices in California, where he refined the Graston Technique, myofascial therapy and cupping. In 2016, he opened TruSpine to offer San Francisco a practice that takes time to find the real cause of pain and brings chiropractic care and acupuncture under one roof.
Today TruSpine has grown to two clinics and a team of six licensed providers, with a 5.0 rating on Google from more than 300 patient reviews.

How we care for you
Our approach
Whether you're here for chiropractic care, acupuncture or both, every visit follows the same principles.
- 01
Find the source first
Where you feel pain isn't always where it starts. Every plan begins with a detailed history and exam, so we treat the cause, not just the symptom.
- 02
Explain it plainly
We tell you what we found, what we recommend and why, in plain language, before we start.
- 03
Measure your progress
We re-check you on a set schedule and compare against your first visit. If you're not improving, we change the plan or refer you to the right provider. We order X-rays only when they'll change how we treat you.
- 04
One team, one plan
Our chiropractors, acupuncturists and medical doctor work side by side, so adjustments, acupuncture, soft-tissue work and other therapies fit together.
Our providers
Six licensed providers, one coordinated team
Every adjustment is performed by a licensed Doctor of Chiropractic, and every acupuncture visit is with a California-licensed acupuncturist.
