About our Clinic

Opie Chiropractic is a family-rooted chiropractic practice serving Mesa and the surrounding East Valley. Dr. Ammon Opie, D.C., is a third-generation chiropractor and graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic, and he is the sole practicing chiropractic physician at Opie Chiropractic. The practice is built around a simple idea: patients should be treated as individuals rather than being moved through the same predetermined treatment plan. We provide conservative care for musculoskeletal pain, mobility problems, injuries, and chronic conditions using chiropractic adjustments, individualized therapies, therapeutic exercise, cold laser therapy, nutritional guidance, and other approaches when appropriate.

While we care for patients of many ages, several areas have become an important focus of our practice. Older adults often require a different approach to chiropractic care, particularly when arthritis, osteoporosis risk, joint replacements, balance concerns, previous surgeries, or other health conditions are part of the picture. Pregnancy also creates unique changes in posture, weight distribution, the pelvis, hips, and low back, so maternity chiropractic care must be adapted to the comfort and needs of the mother. We also evaluate TMJ and jaw-related musculoskeletal problems, including jaw pain, restricted opening, clicking, muscle tension, and associated neck discomfort. In each of these areas, treatment techniques and intensity are adapted to the individual patient rather than forcing everyone into the same style of chiropractic care.

Conditions We Commonly Help

Low Back Pain
Low back pain may develop suddenly after an injury or gradually from repetitive stress, restricted mobility, degenerative changes, or everyday activities. We evaluate the joints, muscles, movement patterns, and surrounding structures that may be contributing to the problem and develop a conservative treatment plan based on those findings.

Neck Pain and Neck-Related Headaches
Neck pain can be associated with joint restriction, muscle tension, posture, repetitive activity, injuries, or degenerative changes. Some headaches can also arise from structures in the neck, and treating the underlying mechanical problem may be helpful when the examination supports that connection.

Geriatric Musculoskeletal Pain and Mobility Problems
Older adults commonly deal with combinations of arthritis, stiffness, degenerative disc and joint changes, previous injuries, reduced mobility, and age-related changes in strength and function. Chiropractic care for seniors should be adapted to the individual, using techniques and treatment positions that take age, bone health, medications, surgeries, and other medical conditions into account.

Pregnancy-Related Back, Hip and Pelvic Pain
Pregnancy changes posture, weight distribution, joint loading, and the way the muscles of the low back, pelvis, and hips function. Maternity chiropractic care focuses on helping manage appropriate musculoskeletal discomfort and mobility problems using treatment positions and techniques modified for the stage of pregnancy.

TMJ and Jaw Disorders
Problems involving the temporomandibular joint can contribute to jaw pain, clicking, popping, muscle tightness, difficulty opening the mouth comfortably, facial discomfort, and sometimes associated neck or headache symptoms. We evaluate the jaw together with the surrounding muscles, cervical spine, and movement patterns and provide conservative musculoskeletal care when appropriate.

Sciatica and Radiating Pain
Pain traveling from the low back or buttock into the leg can have several possible causes and deserves a careful examination. When appropriate, chiropractic and rehabilitative care can address mechanical factors contributing to symptoms, while findings that require additional medical evaluation are referred accordingly.

Shoulder, Hip, Knee and Other Joint Pain
Chiropractic care is not limited to the spine. Dr. Opie evaluates and treats many musculoskeletal problems involving the shoulders, ribs, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, ankles, and other joints when they are appropriate for conservative care.

Auto Accident, Sports and Repetitive-Stress Injuries
Motor vehicle accidents, sports, work demands, prolonged sitting, and repetitive activities can affect joints, muscles, ligaments, and movement patterns. We evaluate how the injury is affecting mobility and function and develop an individualized conservative treatment plan or make an appropriate referral when needed.

Services We Offer

Chiropractic Adjustments and Joint Mobilization
Chiropractic adjustments use carefully directed forces to improve movement in joints that are restricted or not functioning normally. Treatment may range from traditional manual adjustments to gentler mobilization or instrument-assisted techniques depending on the patient's age, condition, comfort, and health history.

Geriatric Chiropractic Care
Older adults may benefit from conservative care designed around arthritis, joint stiffness, age-related mobility changes, previous surgeries, and other health considerations. Treatment is adapted to the individual, with special attention to comfortable positioning and appropriate treatment force.

Maternity and Pregnancy Chiropractic Care
Pregnancy can place significant new demands on the low back, pelvis, hips, ribs, and surrounding muscles. Chiropractic care during pregnancy is modified to accommodate the mother's changing body and is focused on appropriate musculoskeletal complaints and comfortable movement.

TMJ and Jaw Disorder Care
TMJ care may involve evaluation and treatment of the jaw joint, muscles of chewing, neck, and related movement patterns. Conservative treatment can be coordinated with a patient's dentist, physician, or other provider when dental or medical evaluation is also needed.

Spinal and Extremity Joint Care
Chiropractic care is not limited to the spine. When appropriate, Dr. Opie can evaluate and treat joint restrictions involving areas such as the ribs, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, ankles, and feet.

Cold Laser Therapy
Low-level laser therapy, commonly called cold laser therapy, is a noninvasive modality used for certain painful musculoskeletal conditions. It may be incorporated alongside chiropractic treatment or rehabilitation when appropriate.

Therapeutic Exercise and Rehabilitation
Improving joint motion is often only part of the solution. Targeted exercises may be used to restore mobility, improve strength and coordination, and give patients practical tools they can use outside the office.

Nutritional and Lifestyle Guidance
Musculoskeletal health is influenced by more than what happens on the treatment table. When appropriate, Dr. Opie discusses nutrition, activity, recovery, exercise, weight management, and other practical health behaviors that may support a patient's overall goals.

Why is Our Approach Different?

At Opie Chiropractic, we believe good chiropractic care begins with determining what the individual patient actually needs. Dr. Opie combines traditional hands-on chiropractic with modern musculoskeletal evaluation, rehabilitation, therapeutic exercise, cold laser therapy, nutrition, and patient education. We do not believe every person with back pain has the same problem, and we certainly do not believe that a 25-year-old athlete, an 80-year-old patient with arthritis, and a woman in her third trimester of pregnancy should all be treated the same way.

That individualized approach is especially important in the areas of geriatric, maternity, and TMJ care. An older adult may require gentler mobilization, instrument-assisted techniques, changes in positioning, or greater attention to degenerative conditions and medical history. A pregnant patient may need modified treatment positions and techniques as her body changes. A patient with a TMJ disorder may need evaluation of the jaw together with the muscles, cervical spine, posture, and movement patterns that can contribute to symptoms. Our goal is to choose the safest and most useful approach for the person in front of us.

We also believe conservative care should remain practical. When improvement is occurring, the treatment plan should reflect that. When progress is slower than expected, the patient should be reassessed rather than simply continuing the same treatment indefinitely. And when the examination suggests that chiropractic is not the appropriate next step, we believe in helping the patient pursue the medical, dental, imaging, or other healthcare evaluation that is needed.
