Chiropractor Phoenix AZ

Our approach at Pinnacle Chiropractic is different because we use advanced techniques to gain a better understanding of the nature and extent of our patients’ health challenges. At Pinnacle Chiropractic, we do not simply “crack backs”. A lot of thought goes into how, where, and most importantly, why we perform each procedure. By understanding where and how to adjust each patient, we can provide safer, gentler, and more effective care. We can do this by performing functional tests that are part of a complex system of analysis that was established through years of extensive research. As patients improve, the results of these functional tests change, demonstrating an observable improvement.

This system of analysis is used in conjunction with conventional examinations and diagnostic imaging. This system is named Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT). Its origin dates to the 1920s, and it is still actively researched today. Dr. Lipman is one of the few chiropractors in Arizona who practices SOT. We can also use this knowledge to treat additional areas of the body, like the cranium (brain/skull), and use adjusting tools such as SOT blocks. SOT blocks are padded and slanted in shape and strategically placed under a person while lying on a table to gently but effectively realign the spine to correct any spinal subluxations. A spinal subluxation is a misalignment or dysfunction of one or more vertebrae in the spine. This misalignment puts pressure on nerves, potentially causing pain, stiffness, muscle spasms, and reduced range of motion.
