About Our Clinic
Pinnacle Chiropractic
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 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 back to the late 1920s and it is still actively researched today. Dr. Lipman is one of the few chiropractors in Arizona that practices advanced SOT. We can also use this knowledge to treat additional areas of the body such as the cranium (head/skull) and use adjusting tools such as SOT blocks. SOT blocks are padded and slanted in shape and strategically placed under a person who is lying on a table to gently realign the spine in order to correct subluxations. A subluxation is a misalignment or dysfunction of part of the spine. The subluxation causes disruption of the nerves normal function potentially resulting in pain, stiffness, muscle spasms and reduced ranges of motion.

Dr. Daniel Lipman D.c.
I’m originally from the northeastern United States but grew up in Northern California. I made Arizona my home in the summer of 2008. While in college and graduate school, I studied psychophysiology because I was enamored by the function of the nervous system and how it related to health and behavior. During this time I conducted scientific research and was published in the top neuroscience journals of Psychophysiology and Perceptual and Motor Skills. I feel that chiropractic was the ideal career choice for me since chiropractic is a system of healthcare based on the function of the nervous
system.
I’m a big advocate of forestry and have given away thousands of tree seedlings both in California and Arizona. These days, I give away little baby cactus. I’m a lover of music and have attended a great many concerts mostly in the classic rock genre. I’m also a lover of fantasy and science fiction so I like to read and go to movies when I can.
Most of my time is spent taking care of my patients at Pinnacle Chiropractic and helping my mom with her dog breeding.
Yours in health,
Dr. Dan
