I aggressively pursued prolo therapy, chiropractic, myo-practic, deep tissue massage, yoga, stretching, walking, acupuncture, muscle release training, herbal supplements, Rolfing, anti-inflammatory medicine, posture, etc. I changed my home and my car to something more ergonomic. I added new furniture for taller people. Whatever I could try I did, with no consideration of surgical options that I found too risky and of too little predictable benefit.
Chair Massage
A native of Mesa, Holly Wolter utilizes deep manual work, gently restoring muscles and connective tissue with her magic hands. Wolter graduated from Arizona School of Massage Therapy in 2006, and methodically honed her technique for six years as a massage therapist at a number of local spas. Wolter joined Arizona Pain & Posture in early 2012. Holly provides TMJ therapy, fibromyalgia treatment, salt massage, chair massage, reflexology and myotherapy. Wolter says, “My family and career are my two passions in life. I love relaxing at home with family and taking road trips. I thrive on treating my patients to a healthy recovery.”
Do you have relentless pain? Experience a massage that effectively relieves pain by encouraging proper alignment of nerves. All massages are not created equal — going for a superficial spa massage to solve complicated pain is like getting a manicure to solve carpel tunnel. It won’t work.
Dr. Marc Bonacci’s clinical approach to treatment is unusual for a chiropractor – and gets results. He blends traditional adjustments with various types of skilled manual therapy. He uses his own methods of testing and treating, which he has developed through extensive experience with pain patients in the past 15 years. His manual therapy is called the Bonacci Method of Regenerative Alignment. In an attempt to heal his patients, rather than simply managing their pain, Bonacci has made great strides in his search for the truth about chronic and complicated pain: from where it stems, and how to beat it.
Myofascial Therapy
Born in Paradise Valley, Robinson leads the therapy team with his skills and education in myofascial release. Robinson brings more than 15 years of experience to the table, and possesses the ability to transform ailing, broken bodies into their original uncompromised, healthy structure. Robinson received a bachelor’s degree from UC Boulder, and a certified Rolfing degree from The Rolf Institute of Structural Integration in Colorado. Robinson was additionally trained by Master Rolfer Jeffrey Maitland, and worked for several years at well-respected Valley Therapy in Scottsdale before joining the team at Arizona Pain & Posture in 2005.
Therapeutic Exercise
Chiropractic Injury Treatment
Dr. Bonacci has spent the last 15 years doing research on how to most efficiently treat injury and pain patients. Many of these cases start with unresolved issues relating to an auto accident.
Acupuncture
“Integrative” medicine means integrating holistic and conventional treatments. So, for example, a person might be able to decrease the amount of pain medication they are taking, if they are also doing acupuncture, maybe massaging essential oils into their painful spots. Even something like cancer can be treated in an integrated manner: It has been shown that patients handle chemotherapy better when they are on a really strong diet with zero sugar intake (because that’s what feeds cancer cells) and given superfoods and high-dose infusions of vitamins at the same time. Integrative medicine is doing a lot with cancer.
