Tempe Low Back Pain Chiropractor


The great nemesis of the human frame surpassed in numbers only by the common cold. It seems that most of us, by the awesome age of 40, will experience anything from a mild ache in our low back to severe, debilitating disc herniation. But make no mistake about it; Advil or Bayer aspirin will not make long-lasting improvements to this dilemma. And don’t forget, every year over 15,000 people die prematurely from internal bleeding that is directly caused by these anti-inflammatory medications. They have their purpose but they are not the answer to helping the human frame hold itself up properly. Only balanced muscle activity can do that.

The vast majority of people referred to 3D Integrated Medical with low back pain find relief because we evaluate and treat the overall muscle balance throughout the pelvis and legs with Fascial Manipulation, flexion distraction, Activator technique, and manual adjusting techniques. Without balancing the many muscles controlling the pelvis it is virtually impossible to have controlled, smooth motion in normal activities of daily living. And without normal, smooth motion in the joints, they will inflame faster, the muscles will tear easier, and they will become more fibrotic and spasmotic leading to a cycle that will then lead to long-term dysfunction. You can get adjusted 3 times a week for years but, if you don’t normalize muscle function you may never get the problem to resolve for the long term.

I have been lucky enough to see both Dr Pam and Dr Ed. I cant say enough about their knowledge of the body and their compassion for their clients. My journey has not been an easy one, but they both have not given up on me. With the help of both of them together. I know I am on the right track. The whole office staff is extremely friendly and they make you feel at home from day one. I have referred friends and coworkers to them and will continue to do the same. I feel lucky to have found them and so will you.

I want to say just how thrilled I am at the results of my stem cell treatment! When I came in, I was in quite a bit of constant pain with what I thought was due to severe osteoporosis, which left me unable to do much exercise, I could no longer ride my horses, and all movement was severely limited. Come to find out I had a very large tear in my left hip labrum. No wonder it hurt so bad! We proceeded with the treatment and within a week I was back in the gym carefully exercising. Within 2 weeks, I was back on my horse and I was no longer limping! I still need to be somewhat cautious while the tear heals, but I feel fantastic. I was looking at a 6 month painful recovery with surgery. This has literally changed my path! I cannot say enough about the knowledge that Dr. Ed and his wife, Dr. Pam, has. I am very cautious about doctors and I do my research. It says a whole lot when a doctor really wants to know each individual because each case is different and one treatment may not be right for another person. There is so much of the "one-size-fits-all" treatments out there, especially in the stem cell world, just to make a quick buck. That is NOT the case here. It's much more important to do the RIGHT treatment. I am very happy with the treatment I have received. For me to drive all the way from Queen Creek for a doctor says a lot! I highly recommend Dr. Ed and highly recommend taking a look at stem cells for treatment if that is an option!
