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.

Provided Through Our On-Site Partner, BackFit Health + Spine

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.

Conditions We Treat

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
