At our Mesa clinic, Pain Management, Physical Therapy, Chiropractic care and Acupuncture are all under one roof. Large and small joint injections, such as the shoulder and knee, are given here in Mesa by our PAs, 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.
Translation in any language is available at every clinic.
Care at our Mesa clinic starts with an exam, not a standard plan — Pain Management, Chiropractic care, Physical Therapy and Acupuncture are delivered from the same suite, so what you're offered depends on what the exam finds. Guided injections at this clinic are performed under fluoroscopy on site, so the needle is placed under live imaging rather than by landmark alone. See everything we evaluate

Mesa 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.
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 physician 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.
A sudden injury, like a car accident, a fall or lifting something heavy, is treated differently from pain you've had for months. After a recent injury, the first goal is calming inflammation and protecting the area while it heals, with gentle care that gets you moving again early, plus documentation if there's a claim. Long-term pain usually involves joints and muscles that have stiffened, weakened or learned bad habits, so the plan focuses on restoring movement and strength, often combining Chiropractic care, Physical Therapy and dry needling, with Pain Management to keep pain under control so you can do the work. Either way, the exam comes first and decides the plan.
Pain, numbness or tingling that runs down your leg or into your arm usually means a nerve is irritated, often by a disc or narrowing in the spine. That's sciatica in the leg, or a pinched nerve in the neck for the arm. The exam checks your reflexes, strength and sensation to find which nerve is involved and how much. Most people improve with conservative care: Chiropractic care, Physical Therapy and dry needling to take pressure off the nerve. If pain is too strong to do that work, our Pain Management team can help control it, including with a spine injection here at our Mesa clinic when it's needed. Weakness that's getting worse, or numbness in the groin, needs medical care right away.
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 Mesa 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 Mesa, Gilbert, Tempe and Apache Junction. Learn more about our Chiropractic care approach, see our Phoenix-area Chiropractic care, or read about car accident Chiropractic care.
Physical Therapy in Mesa is provided at our clinic on South Stapley Drive, half a mile south of the US-60 at Stapley.
A first Physical Therapy visit here runs about an hour. Your therapist takes a history, tests movement and strength, and identifies which structure is actually producing the pain — which is not always the place that hurts. You leave the first visit with hands-on treatment already started and a short home program, not just an appointment for next week.
Our Mesa clinic on South Stapley Drive 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.
Mesa 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.
Because your physical therapist works in the same clinic as your chiropractor and your pain physician, your plan can change as you progress — imaging ordered, manual care added, an interventional option considered — without a referral out or a repeated history. The whole team reads one chart.

Insurance and cost. We accept Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Humana, Medicare and Arizona workers compensation and auto/lien cases, among others. If you are wondering whether your plan covers Physical Therapy and what your visit will cost, call (602) 325-2024 and we will verify your benefits before you book — you should know the number before the first session, not after it.
Our Mesa clinic on South Stapley Drive 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.
Mesa 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.

The Stapley Drive clinic covers Mesa, Gilbert and the east Valley. Pain Management, Chiropractic care and Physical Therapy all run from the same suite, so a treatment plan can move between them without a referral, a waiting list, or you repeating your history to somebody new. Conditions treated here include: Upper Back Pain, Lower Back Pain, Neck Pain, Nerve Pain, Pelvic Pain, Migraines, Arthritis, Sciatica and More.
Most pain does not need a needle. Pain Management, Chiropractic care, Physical Therapy and Acupuncture cover most of what walks through the door at our Mesa office, on Stapley Drive near Baseline Rd.
Our Mesa team treats the full range of musculoskeletal and nerve pain, with Pain Management, Physical Therapy, Chiropractic care, and Acupuncture in the same building.
If you are looking for a back pain specialist in Mesa, Gilbert, Tempe, or east Mesa, our providers will start with an exam and imaging where it is indicated, then build a non-surgical plan around restoring function.
Arthritis means inflammation of a joint, and it is one of the most common causes of chronic pain and disability in adults. The most frequent form, osteoarthritis, develops as joint cartilage wears down over time, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced motion — most often in the knees, hips, hands, and spine. Mountain View Pain Center helps patients manage arthritis and stay active using non-surgical care: Pain Management, Physical Therapy, Chiropractic care, and Acupuncture, coordinated in one plan.
We examine the affected joints and how you move, review your history and prior imaging, and recommend X-rays when staging the arthritis would change the plan. Because pain from an arthritic hip or spine can refer elsewhere, the exam covers neighboring regions too. When an inflammatory arthritis is suspected, we coordinate referral for rheumatologic workup.
See Arthritis & Joint Pain Treatment for more.
Tennis elbow and golfer's elbow are tendon overload injuries rather than true inflammation, which is why resting them so often fails and why the pain returns as soon as normal activity resumes. Tendons change when they are loaded correctly and progressively, not when they are protected. Our Mesa providers confirm the diagnosis, rule out pain referred from the neck, and build a program around graded loading, adding bracing or a targeted injection where it helps.
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 frequently the neck — worth identifying before treating the wrist on its own. Patients come to us from Mesa, Gilbert, Tempe, Apache Junction and east Phoenix.
Depending on your condition, your plan may include interventional pain procedures (such as epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablation, and joint injections), a structured Physical Therapy program, Chiropractic adjustments, Acupuncture, or — most often — a combination.
The focus is non-surgical, opioid-sparing care, escalating only when it is needed.
An epidural is aimed at inflammation around a nerve root, which is why it is used for pain that travels: down the back of the leg from a disc or a narrowed canal, or into the arm from the neck. Many scans in adults show a bulge or some narrowing that is causing nothing, and treating the picture rather than the pattern of symptoms is how people end up with injections that were never going to help.
Epidural injections for East Valley patients are performed in office at our Mesa clinic. If Chandler is closer for the assessment and follow-up visits, those can happen there, and only the injection itself is booked at Mesa.
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 first visit begins with a full history before any needles: where it hurts, how long it has been going on, how you are sleeping, what makes it worse. The points are chosen from that. You can drive yourself home afterward.
The needles are hair-thin, far finer than an injection needle. Insertion is usually painless; the common description is a dull heaviness at the point, and a fair number of people fall asleep during the session.
We're located in the Stapley Medical Center near the Baseline Rd and Stapley Dr area, making it easy to access Pain Management, Physical Therapy, Chiropractic care, and Acupuncture in one clinic.

A good share of this clinic's patients are here for part of the year, and a good share of those arrive with the same story: something went wrong on the drive down, or in the first fortnight of doing more than they do at home.
The travel back. Two or three days in a car or an RV, then a week of walking and golf, is a reliable way to provoke a low back that had been quiet all year. It is usually mechanical, it usually responds well, and it usually does not need a six-week plan.
The seasonal ramp. Winter here means people become far more active far more quickly than they were in October. That is good for almost everything except tendons and knees, which prefer being asked gradually.
If you are only in Arizona for part of the year, say so at the first visit. What we can usefully do in four weeks is different from what we would plan over four months, and it is better to design for the time that actually exists.
Records travel with you. Ask at the front desk and we will send your examination findings and treatment notes on to whoever looks after you at home.
Spinal stenosis. Leg pain and heaviness that arrives after a few hundred meters of walking and eases when you sit or lean forward. Routinely confused with sciatica and with vascular claudication, and managed like neither.
Osteoarthritis of the hip, knee and spine, and the recurring question of whether the joint is the source or the spine is referring into it. Post-surgical pain, where an operation has resolved part of the problem and left something else unaddressed.
Ordinary mechanical low back pain is still the largest single category, still needing the work of separating disc from facet joint from sacroiliac. And neck pain and cervicogenic headache, including headaches managed as migraine for years without the neck being examined.
Conservative care comes first where there is time for it: Physical Therapy, Chiropractic and activity guidance built around what you actually want to be able to do.
Where an interventional option is indicated, the choices are epidural steroid injection, medial branch block and radiofrequency ablation, sacroiliac joint injection and peripheral joint injection. Each is diagnostic as well as therapeutic — the response identifies the structure responsible.
Radiofrequency ablation is worth a specific mention here. Where a medial branch block confirms a facet joint as the source, ablation can give many months of relief from a single procedure, which suits someone who will not be in the state for follow-up injections.

The Chiropractor is talented, almost never any discomfort when he does adjustments and dry-needling. In all it was an amazing experience and they took great care of me. 10/10 Would Recommend!”
“I was referred to Mountain View Pain Center due to being in a car wreck on February 2, 2025. After getting rear-ended and punched into the truck in front of me, I was definitely having pain and mobility issues with my neck, shoulders, back, and ribs. The team at MVPC is great! They are conscientious, professional, considerate, and easy going. I've had appointments at their Chandler and Mesa offices. Everyone is genuinely concerned about how I'm feeling. They are good about addressing my issues and answering my questions. If you are in need of Physical Therapy and/or Chiropractic care, I highly recommend Mountain View Pain Center!”

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.

Both, along with Medigap supplements. In Arizona, Mountain View Pain Center is in network with most Medicare Advantage plans — call to confirm yours before your first visit.
Look for a change across four to six sessions — less intense pain, shorter flare-ups, better sleep — rather than expecting the first visit to settle it. If it is not doing anything by then, your acupuncturist should say so plainly and the plan should change.
