This comprehensive model is why patients from Phoenix, Glendale and Scottsdale rely on our clinic as a true one-stop destination for spinal, nerve and overall wellness care.
The number of visits needed to resolve a pinched nerve depends on the severity of the misalignment, how long the nerve has been compressed and the patient’s overall health. Many patients begin to notice relief within the first one to two weeks of care, though a full correction plan is typically structured in phases: an initial stabilizing phase to reduce nerve irritation, a strengthening phase to support the surrounding muscles and ligaments, and a maintenance phase to prevent recurrence. Our doctors build a custom care plan after your consultation, exam and X-rays so you know exactly what to expect rather than guessing at a generic timeline.
Yes. Hip-related nerve pain is often connected to misalignment in the lower spine or pelvis rather than the hip joint itself. When the lumbar spine or pelvis shifts out of alignment, it can irritate the nerves that travel through the hip and down the leg, mimicking hip pain or sciatica. Gonstead chiropractic care evaluates the entire pelvic and lumbar structure, not just the point of pain, to correct the actual source of the nerve irritation.
Through our meticulous exam process we are going to find the root cause of your problem and show you exactly what is going on.
We will develop a custom plan of attack using our comprehensive approach that won’t just have you feeling better in the short term but will give you the lasting results that you have been looking for.
When you aren’t feeling 100% it is hard to focus on much else. Once we get you feeling and functioning better you will be able to forget all about your problem and get back to enjoying your life!
Treatment for nerve-related pain depends on the underlying cause, but a comprehensive, non-surgical approach is often the most effective first step before considering more invasive options. Our doctors combine chiropractic correction, non-surgical spinal decompression, physiotherapy and, when appropriate, red light therapy or vitamin IV therapy to support nerve healing, reduce inflammation and restore proper nerve communication between the brain and body.
Chiropractic adjustments are gentle and generally well tolerated. Some patients experience mild, temporary muscle soreness similar to what you might feel after starting a new exercise routine. Serious side effects are rare when care is delivered by a trained doctor using a precise, structural approach like the Gonstead Method, which targets only the vertebrae that actually need correction rather than manipulating the spine broadly.
Nerve pain rarely appears out of nowhere. It is usually the downstream result of a structural problem — a misaligned vertebra, a bulging or herniated disc, or chronic postural strain that gradually irritates the nervous system. Left unaddressed, nerve pain and degeneration tend to worsen over time, and delaying care can increase the risk of long-term damage or the eventual need for more invasive treatment. Our “Find It, Fix It, Forget It” approach is built around three steps: a meticulous exam to find the true root cause, a customized correction plan to fix the structural problem, and a maintenance strategy so you can forget the pain and get back to living your life.
