Experience & Expertise
Dr. Kleinberg specializes in precise full‑spine adjusting and structural correction, supported by advanced spinal decompression technology.
He has built successful practices from Park Avenue in New York to London, Amsterdam, Dublin, Germany and Jakarta, delivering over 8,000 adjustments over his career.
Today, his Los Gatos practice focuses on complex disc and nerve cases, sciatica, chronic neck and low‑back pain, scoliosis, headaches and migraines, pregnancy‑related discomfort and pediatric concerns.
He pairs hands‑on care with the DRX9000 decompression table—used in 50 different countries—to give patients a powerful, conservative option before more invasive medical procedures.
Philosophy & Approach
Real talk: Dr. Kleinberg is obsessed with education. He tells every new patient, “You can only utilize something to the level that you understand” and he structures care around that belief.
Day One: warm welcome, short paperwork, a private consultation, orthopedic and neurologic testing and full‑spine digital X‑rays when appropriate.
Day Two (Report Visit): he walks you through what’s wrong, how it likely developed, his recommendations, how long it may take and financial options—no guesswork, no surprises.
Care usually combines precise full‑spine adjustments, targeted spinal decompression and at‑home tools like the Posture Pump to restore healthy curves and proper spinal physics, not just reduce pain.
With 33 years of meditation, plant‑based living and study of Eastern wisdom, he brings calm focus, compassion and a strong doctor‑patient relationship to every visit.
Personal Story
At 13, growing up in the Bronx, Dr. Kleinberg could barely get out of bed because of a severely compressed disc at L5–S1. Surgery was on the table—until an aunt brought him to her chiropractor, who helped him avoid the operating room and completely changed how he saw health.
After detours through architecture, business, acting in Los Angeles and a short, miserable stint as a Wall Street broker, a summer reading Awaken the Giant Within pushed him to commit to chiropractic school.
Since graduating in 2000, he has practiced around the world and eventually opened On Purpose Chiropractic in Los Gatos in 2018.
“After chiropractic worked for me, I wanted to help others. It’s a simple, natural process based on the idea of innate intelligence in the body that runs everything. If we can keep that intelligence connected to the body, you can have a healthier, happier life.”

Treatment Techniques
- Full‑Spine Chiropractic Adjustments: Specific hands‑on adjustments to realign the spine, relieve nerve pressure, restore motion and support better posture and overall function.
- Spinal Decompression Therapy: Computer‑guided traction that cycles between pull and release to “pump” the discs, ease nerve pressure and help regenerate disc height and hydration over time.
- Upper Cervical Specific Work: Focused adjustments at C1–C2 to reduce brainstem irritation often linked with headaches, migraines, dizziness and stubborn neck issues.
- Postural & Curve Restoration (Posture Pump): At‑home spinal remodeling tools and simple routines that support long‑term correction of neck and low‑back curves, not just short‑term relief.
- Webster Technique & Prenatal Care: Gentle pelvic and low‑back work to improve comfort in pregnancy and create space so the baby has a better chance to move into ideal position.
- Pediatric & Family Chiropractic: Extra‑light fingertip adjustments for infants and kids, plus full‑spine care for parents to support sleep, comfort, focus and everyday performance.
