Chiropractic care is a valuable part of conservative spine care for many patients.

Book a Consultation — (602) 566-9500For many people with mechanical back and neck pain, chiropractic care is a valuable part of a conservative treatment plan — using hands-on adjustments and manual techniques to improve movement and relieve pain.
Desert Spine and Pain does not provide chiropractic care in-house — and we think being upfront about that matters. Instead, we partner with BackFit Health + Spine, the chiropractic and rehabilitation practice that shares our location. That lets us coordinate your conservative care with your specialist spine evaluation seamlessly, so the right hands are on the right part of your care.
Chiropractic care can be very effective for mechanical back and neck pain. But some conditions — significant nerve compression, instability, fractures, or red-flag symptoms — need a surgeon's evaluation first. Because Dr. Greenwald is a dual board-certified spine surgeon and neurosurgeon, we can make sure chiropractic care is appropriate and safe for your specific spine before it begins.
Life Beyond the Pain

Choosing the right spine specialist in Phoenix matters. At Desert Spine and Pain, your care is led by Dr. David L. Greenwald, MD, FAANS, FACS — a physician who is both a board-certified spine surgeon and a neurosurgeon. That dual expertise is rare, and it means one expert can guide you across the full spectrum of care — from a simple injection to complex surgery — and recommend what is genuinely best for you, whether you need a spine doctor for conservative care or a surgeon when surgery is truly the answer.
A rare dual credential — so the specialist who treats you can also perform surgery if it's ever needed.
Most patients get better without surgery. We only advance when your condition truly requires it.
No referral needed. We make it straightforward to see a top spine specialist, even out-of-network.
24/7 concierge response and close coordination with personal-injury attorneys.
We welcome out-of-network patients and will explain your likely costs and coverage before anything is scheduled — no surprises, and no referral required.
