Care at our North Phoenix clinic starts with an exam, not a standard plan — Pain Management, Chiropractic care and Physical Therapy work from the same Dunlap Avenue building, with procedures coordinated to the nearest MVPC procedure clinic when one is needed. At our North Phoenix clinic, Pain Management, Physical Therapy, Chiropractic care and Acupuncture are all under one roof. In North Phoenix, our PAs give shoulder, knee and other joint injections, along with Dysport (botulinum toxin) injections for cervical dystonia. Learn more about our Pain Management services, Chiropractic Care, Physical Therapy or Acupuncture, then request an appointment when you're ready.

The Dunlap Avenue clinic serves North Phoenix, Glendale and the Sunnyslope area. Most of what arrives here is straightforward once someone has actually examined it rather than treating the spot that hurts — and the examination is the part that decides whether you need an adjustment, a rehabilitation program, an injection, or a scan first. See everything we evaluate
The first two weeks after a collision decide how the next six months go. Soft-tissue and disc injuries that go unexamined tend to settle into something chronic, and a gap in treatment is the first thing an adjuster points at.
Our Phoenix-metro clinics treat crash injuries: chiropractic, physical therapy and pain management in one plan and one chart, with auto med-pay billed directly, or a lien we hold so you are not paying out of pocket while the claim is open.

Book an injury evaluationOur North Phoenix clinic on West Dunlap Avenue has licensed chiropractors on site, working alongside Pain Management providers, physical therapists and acupuncturists. If you are looking for a chiropractor in North Phoenix, you can book directly — no referral is needed.
North Phoenix patients most often see our chiropractors for lower back pain, neck pain, sciatica and nerve pain, headaches and migraines, joint dysfunction, and whiplash after a car accident. Your adjustments are tailored to what your exam shows and what you are comfortable with, from traditional hands-on adjusting to low-force and instrument-assisted techniques.
Your chiropractor selects techniques based on your exam, your comfort, and what your body responds to:
What makes Chiropractic care here different is what sits behind it. If your adjustments help but progress stalls, your chiropractor can bring in a physical therapist for strengthening work or coordinate with a Pain Management provider for imaging — in the same building, on the same chart, without a new referral or a repeated history. Most patients never need that next step, but the path is already in place.
Medicare Part B covers one Chiropractic service: manual manipulation of the spine to correct a subluxation, when it is medically necessary. More on what Medicare covers for Chiropractic care.
Dry needling treats one muscle at a time. A thin filiform needle — the same kind used in Acupuncture, and nothing is injected through it, which is where the name comes from — goes directly into a myofascial trigger point: the taut, tender band inside a muscle that stays contracted and refers pain somewhere else. At Mountain View Pain Center it is performed by physical therapists and chiropractors who hold post-graduate certification in the technique, as part of a Physical Therapy or Chiropractic visit.
Non-surgical spinal decompression, a traction table treatment delivered under Chiropractic care, is available at our North Phoenix clinic. The intent is to lower pressure inside the disc for the length of the session, so that a bulging or herniated disc is under less load and the tissue around it has a chance to settle.
See Dry Needling and Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression for more.
We serve North Phoenix, Sunnyslope, Moon Valley and central Phoenix. Learn more about our Chiropractic care approach, see our Phoenix-area Chiropractic care, or read about car accident Chiropractic care.
Chiropractic appointments here are usually available within the same week, and no referral is needed in Arizona.
Our North Phoenix clinic on West Dunlap Avenue has licensed physical therapists on site. Arizona allows direct access to Physical Therapy, which means you can begin care here without a physician referral — bring your insurance card and book.
North Phoenix patients come to our physical therapists for lower back pain, neck pain, sciatica, knee pain, shoulder pain, post-operative recovery, sports and work injuries, and loss of balance or mobility. Sessions are one-on-one, and your plan is built around what you need to get back to doing. Treatment includes therapeutic exercise — progressive, targeted strengthening for the muscles that support the painful area — and orthopedic and post-surgical rehab coordinated with your surgeon's protocol.
Work injuries and whiplash after a car accident get the same structured approach, with documentation built in from the first visit for your claim, and workers' compensation is accepted for Physical Therapy at every Arizona clinic.
Because your physical therapist works in the same clinic as your chiropractor and your Pain Management provider, your plan can change as you progress — imaging ordered, manual care added — without a referral out or a repeated history. The whole team reads one chart.

Our North Phoenix clinic on West Dunlap Avenue offers Acupuncture alongside Pain Management, Chiropractic care and Physical Therapy. No referral is needed, and most major plans are accepted. See Acupuncture in Phoenix, AZ.
Cupping is performed here as well; see cupping therapy.
North Phoenix patients most often choose Acupuncture for chronic pain that has not fully settled with other treatment, nerve pain and neuropathy, headaches and migraines, neck and back pain, and the muscle tension that builds up around a long-standing injury.
You can book Acupuncture here on its own. If you also see us for Physical Therapy, Chiropractic care or medical Pain Management, it is documented on the same chart — so your acupuncturist knows what your imaging showed and what your physical therapist is working on.
For certain presentations — myofascial pain, some headache patterns, neuropathic pain that has not responded to conventional approaches — Acupuncture is a genuinely useful option, and having it in the same building means it can be added to a plan rather than requiring a referral to a practice that has never seen your notes.
It is one tool among several, not an alternative to a diagnosis. You still get examined first.

Our clinic on W Dunlap Ave serves North Phoenix, with Pain Management, Physical Therapy, Chiropractic care, and Acupuncture under one roof.
Our W Dunlap Ave clinic treats back pain in North Phoenix, including herniated and degenerative discs, sciatica, and spinal arthritis. The label covers several distinct problems. Facet joints tend to hurt on extension and early in the day. A disc tends to hurt on sitting and forward bending. The sacroiliac joint produces one-sided pain low down. Muscle guarding sits on top of any of them. The first appointment is spent establishing which, because the treatment that helps one does very little for another.
Treatment starts with Chiropractic care for the segments that have stopped moving and Physical Therapy for the trunk endurance that decides whether this recurs, with Acupuncture where the guarding is what is holding it. See Low Back Pain Treatment in Phoenix, AZ for more.
Our W Dunlap Ave clinic treats neck pain in North Phoenix, including headaches that begin at the base of the skull and pain radiating into the arm. Pain confined to the neck and shoulder is mechanical. Pain that runs down the arm with numbness, pins and needles or a weak grip is a nerve root, and it is managed differently. Rotation and extension range, reflexes, grip and sensation separate the two at the first visit. Weakness moves imaging forward; pain alone does not.
Treatment combines Chiropractic care for the segments that have locked, Physical Therapy to retrain the deep neck flexors and the muscles around the shoulder blade, and Acupuncture where the tension will not release on its own. See Neck Pain Treatment in Phoenix, AZ for more.
Shoulder pain brings a steady stream of patients to our W Dunlap Ave clinic, and the cause is often further from the joint than people expect. Rotator cuff tendinopathy and tears, impingement, frozen shoulder, bursitis and AC joint arthritis all send pain into the upper arm, and restricted movement through the mid-back and shoulder blade frequently sustains the problem. We examine how the shoulder and scapula move together, image where it is indicated, and treat with Physical Therapy for rotator cuff and scapular control, manual therapy through the thoracic spine, joint injections here where they are appropriate, and Acupuncture for pain that lingers. A shoulder that wakes you at night, or that has stopped improving after a few weeks of rest, is worth reassessing rather than waiting out.
Tennis elbow and golfer's elbow are tendon overload problems rather than true inflammation, which is why rest alone so often fails and why the pain returns the moment normal activity resumes. Tendons respond to being loaded correctly and progressively, not to being protected. Our providers confirm the diagnosis, rule out referred pain from the neck, and build a program around graded loading, with bracing, dry needling or targeted injections added where they help. We also treat wrist and hand pain including carpal tunnel symptoms. Where numbness follows a nerve pattern rather than a joint one, the source is often the neck — which is worth identifying before treating the wrist alone.
Most adult knee pain is osteoarthritis, meniscus irritation, patellofemoral pain, or tendinopathy around the kneecap. The treatment for each differs enough that guessing wastes months. We assess how the knee loads and tracks, image it when findings warrant, and treat with Physical Therapy for quadriceps and hip strength, activity modification, bracing, and joint injections here where appropriate. Patients come to us from North Phoenix, Sunnyslope, Moon Valley, Deer Valley and north Glendale.
Plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendon pain, ankle sprains that never fully settled and forefoot pain from running or long shifts on hard floors are all treated at our North Phoenix clinic. Treatment usually pairs hands-on Physical Therapy with a loading program you continue between visits, and dry needling where a muscle or tendon has stopped responding.
Foot pain frequently starts higher up. A stiff ankle changes how the knee and hip load, and a hip that will not extend changes how the foot strikes the ground. We assess the whole chain rather than only the sore spot, which is the advantage of having Physical Therapy, Chiropractic and Pain Management in one building.
Treatment starts with a diagnosis, not a prescription pad.
Plan for a full evaluation rather than a quick check-in. Your Pain Management provider will take a history, examine you, review imaging, and leave you with a plan before you go.
If pain has lasted more than six weeks, if it wakes you at night, if it radiates into an arm or a leg, if it comes with numbness or weakness, or if you have been managing it with medication rather than a diagnosis — that is the point where a specialist evaluation changes the outcome.
Your first Physical Therapy visit is a full history and movement exam, before any treatment decision is made. Your therapist writes a plan at that visit and adjusts it as you improve.
Running, cycling, pickleball, gym training — overuse and sports injuries respond to a plan built around what the movement exam actually finds, not a generic protocol for the sport. Our therapists progress loading and return-to-activity work in stages, so you're not cleared to go back before the tissue can handle it.
Arthritis and long-standing joint pain don't usually need less activity — they need the right activity. Strengthening the muscles around an arthritic joint can reduce pain and help protect the joint, and that's the basis of our arthritis programs here.
Workers' compensation is accepted for Physical Therapy at every Arizona clinic, with return-to-work planning built into your rehab.
At Mountain View Pain Center in North Phoenix, we know how frustrating chronic pain can be—but you don't have to live with it. Our comprehensive approach allows our experts to thoroughly evaluate your pain and provide multiple treatment options, ensuring you receive accurate, trustworthy care. Conveniently located in Concorde Commerce Center, near the Northwest Business Center. With locations across the valley, we're here to help you find real, lasting relief. Hurt in a collision? We offer car accident injury treatment in Phoenix.
Chiropractic care addresses how your spine and joints move, and how the muscles and nerves around them respond.
West Valley and North Phoenix. North Phoenix (Dunlap) serves Sunnyslope, Alhambra, Maryvale and north-central Phoenix. Deer Valley serves Deer Valley, Norterra, Happy Valley and Anthem. Glendale (Westgate) serves Westgate, Arrowhead, Litchfield Park and west Phoenix. Peoria serves Peoria, Sun City, Surprise and north Glendale.
East Valley. Chandler serves Chandler, Ocotillo, Ahwatukee and west Gilbert. Mesa serves Mesa, Gilbert, Tempe and Apache Junction.
All of them share a record system, so if the clinic nearest you is booked and another has an opening today, taking the earlier appointment costs you nothing.
Not every painful joint needs a surgeon, and not every painful joint is the problem. A knee that hurts without a clear knee finding is often a hip or a nerve; lateral hip pain is usually not the hip joint at all; a painful shoulder is sometimes a neck.
The evaluation separates these before treatment, which may include therapy, bracing, image-guided corticosteroid or viscosupplementation injection, or genicular nerve blocks for arthritic knee pain in patients who are not surgical candidates. Shoulder and knee injections are given here; image-guided injections, including hip injections and nerve blocks, are done at our Mesa or Westgate clinic.
Headaches that start in the neck behave differently from primary migraine and are treatable at the source, so we look for the upper cervical joints and muscles that reproduce your headache before assuming otherwise.
Burning and numbness in the feet or hands likewise needs a cause before it needs a treatment. Diabetic neuropathy, chemotherapy-induced neuropathy, and compressive causes such as lumbar stenosis or carpal tunnel are managed in completely different ways.
Three of the things we do involve a needle, and they get confused with one another constantly. They are not interchangeable, and only one of them injects anything.
Acupuncture is performed by a licensed acupuncturist. Hair-thin filiform needles are placed at specific points — often well away from where it hurts — and left in while you rest. Nothing is injected. It treats the whole presentation rather than one muscle, which is why it is the usual choice for chronic and widespread pain.
Dry needling is performed by a physical therapist as one technique inside a rehabilitation plan. The same kind of needle goes straight into a trigger point to release a single knotted muscle, and again nothing is injected.
Trigger-point injections are a procedure rather than a technique: a fine needle enters the trigger point and delivers a small amount of local anesthetic, sometimes with an anti-inflammatory. That is the difference — an injection puts something in.
The evidence for Acupuncture is strongest in chronic pain, and that is most of what walks through the door. Low back pain that has outlasted rest, stretching and anti-inflammatories. Neck and shoulder pain from desk work, long commutes, or a whiplash injury that never fully settled.
Headaches and migraines, particularly for prevention, which is one of Acupuncture's better-supported uses. Sciatica and radiating leg pain. Peripheral neuropathy, including diabetic neuropathy — the burning, numbness and night pain in the feet that keeps people awake.
Knee, hip and shoulder pain from osteoarthritis, usually alongside strengthening work. And widespread, long-standing pain that arrives with poor sleep and a short fuse; a session treats the whole presentation, not one joint.

Everyone deserves access to expert care, and we make that easier by accepting a variety of insurance plans. Browse the list below or contact us to learn more about your coverage options.
2222 W Dunlap Ave, #190, Phoenix, AZ 85021. The address block on this page opens directions in Google Maps.
Yes, all four: Pain Management, Physical Therapy, Chiropractic care and Acupuncture. They are in this building and work from one chart, so your plan can move between them without starting again at another practice. Call (602) 325-2024 to schedule.
Usually not. A few insurance plans require one for certain services, so our team verifies your benefits before the visit and tells you what your plan needs.
A photo ID, your insurance card, a list of the medications you take, and any imaging or prior treatment notes you already have. If you do not have the imaging with you, bring the name of the facility that did it.
Back and neck pain, sciatica and nerve pain, shoulder, elbow and knee problems, headaches and migraines, work and sports injuries, and pain after a car accident. If you are not sure where your problem fits, book an examination and we will tell you which of the four to start with.
In Arizona, AHCCCS is accepted for Pain Management only — not for Chiropractic, Physical Therapy or Acupuncture. If you are on AHCCCS and want one of the other three, tell us when you call and we will be straight with you about what it would cost before you book.
Yes — our North Phoenix clinic on West Dunlap Avenue has Pain Management on site, along with Chiropractic, Physical Therapy and Acupuncture in the same building. Same-day Pain Management appointments are usually available.
Yes — our North Phoenix clinic on West Dunlap Avenue has a chiropractor on site, along with Pain Management, Physical Therapy and Acupuncture in the same building.
That popping sound is just gas releasing from the joint, the same thing that happens when you crack your knuckles. It's not bones grinding or anything breaking, and the adjustment doesn't need to make a sound to work. Most people feel a quick stretch or pressure, then their back or neck moves more easily. Some feel mildly sore for a day or two, like after a workout, and that fades quickly. If you're nervous about the quick hands-on adjustment, tell your chiropractor; gentler options are available.
Most people notice a difference within the first few visits: less pain, easier movement, better sleep. Visits are usually closer together at the start, then spaced out as you improve. We recheck your progress along the way, and if you're not improving the way we expect, we change the plan. That could mean adding Physical Therapy or dry needling, or having a Pain Management provider take a look, all in the same building. You're done when you've reached the goals we set at your first visit, and we'll show you stretches and exercises to keep the pain from coming back.
Yes. Our North Phoenix clinic on West Dunlap Avenue offers Acupuncture alongside Pain Management, Chiropractic care and Physical Therapy. No referral is needed, and most major plans are accepted.
Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna and UnitedHealthcare are on the payer list for our Phoenix clinics. Coverage varies by plan, so we verify your benefits before your first visit — send your member ID with your appointment request and we will check it for you.
Medicare Part B covers manual manipulation of the spine by a chiropractor to correct a subluxation. It does not cover x-rays or Acupuncture ordered by a chiropractor, and after the Part B deductible you pay twenty percent of the Medicare-approved amount. We verify your benefits before the first visit so you know what is covered. More on Medicare in Arizona.
Spine injections and other image-guided procedures are scheduled at the nearest MVPC procedure clinic — Mesa or Westgate in Glendale — so the imaging, the diagnosis and the injection stay with the same team. This clinic itself does not perform spine or image-guided procedures on site; joint injections are given here by our PAs.
Yes. Free parking is available on site at the Dunlap Avenue clinic in Concorde Commerce Center.
Yes. Medicare pays for pain care that is medically necessary, and Mountain View Pain Center bills it directly at our Phoenix-metro clinics. We verify your Part B, Medigap or Medicare Advantage benefits before your first visit and tell you what the visit will cost, rather than after treatment has started.
Yes. The focus is non-surgical, opioid-sparing care, escalating only when it is needed.
The clinic is on West Dunlap Avenue just off I-17, the road most of north-central Phoenix already uses.
Sunnyslope sits just east of here along Dunlap and Hatcher, under North Mountain. It is a short drive rather than a trip into central Phoenix, which matters more than it sounds: when a course of Physical Therapy or Chiropractic runs several weeks, the distance is often what decides whether someone finishes it. No referral is needed to book.
Patients come south from Moon Valley and in from the 7th Street corridor. Pain Management, Physical Therapy, Chiropractic and Acupuncture all work out of this building and read the same chart, so a plan that starts with one of them can change without starting the history over.
Dunlap runs west from I-17 toward 35th Avenue and on into Glendale, and that corridor brings in a good share of the caseload. Spine injections and other image-guided procedures are scheduled at the nearest MVPC procedure clinic — Mesa or Westgate in Glendale — so the imaging, the diagnosis and the injection stay with the same team.
From Maryvale and Alhambra the run north on 35th or 43rd Avenue is straightforward. If you were hurt in a car accident, we can bill med-pay or work on a lien, so treatment does not wait on the claim being settled.
Each of these is written up for Phoenix: sciatica in Phoenix, Phoenix herniated disc treatment, low back pain across Phoenix, how neck pain is treated in Phoenix, knee pain in Phoenix and Phoenix neuropathy treatment.
And each procedure: epidural steroid injection in Phoenix, Phoenix radiofrequency ablation, stimulator trials across Phoenix, kyphoplasty, Phoenix, nerve blocks in Phoenix.
For a collision, see a car accident chiropractor in Phoenix. Patients also come down the I-17 from Anthem.
Medicare in Arizona: see pain management that accepts Medicare, read what to check about a Medicare Advantage plan before you switch, or, if you spend the season here, pain management for winter visitors.
The building is easier to find than the pain is to ignore. See the full clinic map, the other Arizona clinics, or the providers who will see you.
