Chiropractic Care for Spine & Back Pain

For 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.

When Chiropractic Care Fits — and When It Doesn't

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

The goal of treatment is simple: relieve your pain and help you get back to the activities you love. Recovery and results vary from person to person.

Why Choose Our Spine Specialists in Phoenix

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.

Spine surgeon & neurosurgeon

A rare dual credential — so the specialist who treats you can also perform surgery if it's ever needed.
