Chiropractic in our Office

What conditions are commonly treated in your office?
  • Neck and back pain
  • Shoulder/arm pain
  • Hip/leg pain
  • Headaches (Stress/Tension, Sinus, Migraines, Cluster)
  • Sacroiliac (SI) joint pain
  • Sciatica

How long does it usually take to relieve pain?
Our average patient in pain is out of pain in 1-6 treatments. The fastest pain relief is obtained by combining Chiropractic with Acupuncture and Physiotherapy. Dr. Brown is a board-certified Physiotherapist and includes electric muscle stimulation, infrasound, ice therapy and moist heat therapy to get the fastest pain relief.

Why do some Chiropactors routinely not perform any treatment on the first visit to their office?
We don't know. Our priority is to begin treatment for your condition as soon as possible.

Why do some Chiropractors routinely recommend 30-40 treatments or more?
We don't know this, either. We do know that when you combine Chiropractic with Acupuncture and Physiotherapy, pain relief is much faster.

Why do some Chiropractors pressure their patients to have three treatments per week for the rest of their life?
Again, we don't know. In our office, you can choose to return for maintenance treatments on a regular basis, or you can choose to return as needed. We will not pressure you either way.

Are x-rays always required?
Not in our office. Dr. Brown only orders x-rays if they are medically necessary for your specific condition. To insure our patients receive the highest quality digital x-rays possible, we have our x-rays taken at a professional x-ray facility, AZ-Tech Radiology & Open MRI. Even if you have no insurance coverage for Chiropractic, health insurance will normally pay for x-rays ordered by a Doctor of Chiropractic if the x-rays are taken at a professional x-ray facility. AZ-Tech accepts most insurance plans and has discounted prices for people without insurance.

What if I need prescription medications?
Although Doctors of Chiropractic are licensed as primary care providers in all 50 states, their scope of practice does not yet include prescription medications. If you need a prescription medication, Dr. Mark Strom, a licensed Naturopathic Medical Doctor (NMD), works selected hours in our office throughout the week. Dr. Strom is licensed to prescribe medications and perform Pain Managment and General Medicine. See our Pain Management page for more information.

What if I need an MRI or blood tests?
Doctors of Chiropractic are qualified to order and interpret both MRI examinations and blood tests. Even if you have no insurance coverage for Chiropractic, health insurance will normally cover MRI examinations and blood tests ordered by a Doctor of Chiropractic. We utilize AZ-Tech Radiology & Open MRI and for MRI examinations. Blood tests are done with Sonora Quest Laboratories and LabCorp.

Doctors of Chiropractic are qualified to order and interpret MRI examinations.


Does your office prescribe arch supports and foot orthotics?
Absolutely. Dr. Brown recommends and personally uses custom-made Spinal-Pelvic Stabilizers from Foot Levelers. Spinal-Pelvic Stabilizers are used in the treatment and prevention of extremity and spinal problems. We have equipment in our office to scan your feet and determine the best type of orthotic for you.

Fallen arches can cause problems all the way up your back, even to your neck and head.

Testimonial - Ted

After many years of going to different Chiropractors and trying Massage Therapy I still had severe lower back pain. I could only walk a short distance before I had to sit down or lean forward to relieve my back pain. If I had to stand for an extended period of time in one spot, such as washing dishes, I would have to clean two dishes and sit down. In short, I could not function. My wife forced me to see Dr. Brown. Since I had no results from all the different treatments I had in the past, I expected the same results. That is to say, no results. I am ecstatic to say that after the first visit at Dr. Brown's office in Tempe, I had NO PAIN! I was able to sleep for a full night, walk an entire mile for exercise, and do more than I ever had before without pain. I drive an hour and fifteen minutes, all the way from Surprise, to see Dr. Brown in Tempe, but it is worth the time. I also see Dr. Brown's Personal Trainer for Physiotherapy. I can't thank Dr. Brown and his team enough for giving me back my mobility.
