Chiropractic Services In Tempe, AZ

If you want a body that can last a lifetime, a body that still works well when you are old, that ages as gracefully as possible, that allows you to have in your "Retirement Years", then you had better get a Chiropractor on your HealthCare Team ASAP and start living The Chiropractic Lifestyle.

Allow me to volunteer ;)

Actually, that is not entirely true. We are the right fit for you if:

You care about your Health,

You are willing to take Action, even when it is new or uncomfortable,

You are or have been an Athlete, the Athlete's Mindset is different than the average bear,

You prioritize your dollars spent on your health,

You have a Sense of Humor

We are NOT for you if:

You want your insurance to pay for your care (why would they care or want to? Newsflash: they do not

You want someone to do the work for you,

You are too busy to do what you know you need to do,

You do not feel you have the dollars to Invest In Your Health.

We base our work on acouple of things:

1. Your Body heals itself!

2. Sometimes your life and life choices overwhelm your body's ability to heal itself.

3. When that occurs, DIS-EASE starts, even if you do not know it or feel it.

4. If you knew how to fix that ALL yourself, you would have.

5. By the time you get to us, you NEED the adjustment AND you need MORE than just the Adjustment.

6. The Alpha 5 Phase System is built to help us work together to diagnose what else you need and accomplish it - within a systematic format.

7. And if you still are not sure, we offer The Body Fix Assessment as a low fee, come-on-in-and-feel-out-the-place option.

Nutrition

Good nutrition is always important to any healing process. We can discuss specific nutritional changes to assist you in getting your best results in the quickest time.

Most people report that they "eat clean" or "have a pretty good diet" or would give themselves a 'B' or 'C' grade.

Let's just say: Most people are wrong ;)

At AFC AZ we approach every patient as if they are SOME kind of athlete. Meaning: we have to prepare and train your body to do what you are routinely asking it to do.

For example: maybe you are an attorney who sits at the desk for long hours. Well, then we have to train your body to be able to sit for long hours strongly and comfortably without breaking down your posture and creating aging too fast.

Let’s face it: Mom's are where it’s at!!

Mom’s do it all!!! So we cater to moms – we have a kid’s area with lots of toys and distractions to keep your kids happy and safe, while you get adjusted.

Bring your Babies, because when Mom does not feel good, NOBODY gets the Best of Her.

This goes along with Moms!

We want everyone to come in.

To be honest, Kids “get the Big Idea” faster than adults. The brain runs everything, so we make sure that the brain can talk to the body and vice versa. Simple.

And they KNOW they feel better after getting adjusted, even if they cannot tell you.

There are 3 Components we build our Chiropractic Care On: 1. Doing the good things we tell you to 😉

2. STOP doing the bad things we tell you that are hindering you and

3. and adding in The Chiropractic Adjustments which are done in a rhythm over a period of time.

Simple Formula. But knowing what To Do & What Not To Do

"PRICELESS", and the structure of Success.
