Care at our Littleton clinic starts with an exam, not a standard plan — Pain Management, Physical Therapy and Chiropractic care work from the same Estes Street building, with procedures coordinated to the nearest MVPC procedure clinic when one is needed. Our PAs give joint injections here in Littleton, for the shoulder, knee and other joints, and Dysport (botulinum toxin) injections for cervical dystonia.
Translation in any language is available at every clinic.
The Estes Street clinic serves Littleton, Ken Caryl, Columbine and southwest Denver. Four problems account for most of what comes through the door. See everything we evaluate
Chiropractic here is one of four services on a single chart. The chiropractor works in the same building as the physical therapists, the acupuncturist and the Pain Management provider, so the plan fits what the examination found. You can book Chiropractic care on its own, including ongoing adjustments. Colorado does not require a referral to see a chiropractor, and appointments in Littleton are usually available the same week.
If a car accident is what brought you in, we bill med-pay directly and work on a lien when an attorney is involved, so care for a southwest Denver collision does not have to wait on the claim.
Patients travel to this clinic from Ken Caryl, Columbine, Chatfield and Bow Mar.
Techniques are Diversified manual adjustment, Activator instrument-assisted adjustment where a manual thrust is unwanted or unwise, and drop-table (Thompson) technique, with soft-tissue and myofascial work and home exercise between visits. Spinal decompression and dry needling are available as modalities alongside adjusting.
See Chiropractic Care for more.
Medicare Part B covers one Chiropractic service: manual manipulation of the spine to correct a subluxation, when it is medically necessary.
Dry needling is available at every Mountain View Pain Center clinic in Colorado and Arizona. It is used as a modality alongside Chiropractic and Physical Therapy rather than as a treatment booked on its own.
Spinal decompression is available at every Mountain View Pain Center clinic in Colorado and Arizona. Every clinic has a decompression table, so you are not sent elsewhere for it.
See Dry Needling and Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression for more.
Our Littleton clinic on South Estes Street has licensed physical therapists on site. Colorado is a direct access state, which means you can begin Physical Therapy here without a physician referral — bring your insurance card and book.
Littleton 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.
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 Littleton clinic on South Estes Street offers Acupuncture alongside Pain Management, Chiropractic care and Physical Therapy. No referral is needed, and most major plans are accepted.
Cupping is performed here as well; see cupping therapy.
Littleton 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.

Low back pain is the most common reason people come here and the one where the first visit matters most. The examination has one job before anything else: work out whether this is a joint or muscle problem that will respond to manual treatment and loading, or a disc or nerve root that needs a different plan. Getting that wrong costs weeks. Getting it right often means the whole episode resolves in a handful of visits.
Pain that runs from the low back into the buttock and down the leg is worth taking seriously, particularly when it passes the knee or brings numbness, tingling or weakness with it. Those findings point to a nerve root under real pressure rather than a muscle in spasm. Where imaging is warranted we can order it from this office, and where a nerve root is confirmed, a diagnostic injection at the nearest MVPC procedure clinic can identify the level and relieve the pain enough for rehabilitation to work.
Neck pain and the headaches that come with it usually originate in the upper cervical joints. Both respond well to manual treatment. What determines whether they stay away is the hours in between, so the plan includes specific work you do at home rather than a schedule of appointments alone.
Whiplash is a neck strain caused when the head is whipped rapidly backward and forward — most often in rear-end collisions, even low-speed ones — straining the neck's muscles, ligaments, joints and discs.
Whiplash symptoms often arrive a day or two after the collision, which is why being examined in the first week matters even when you feel fine at the roadside. Early examination also produces the documentation your claim will need. We handle auto and lien cases and can usually see you the same week.
Neck pain and stiffness (often worse the day after), headaches starting at the base of the skull, shoulder and upper-back pain, dizziness, fatigue, jaw pain, tingling into the arms, and difficulty concentrating. Get checked urgently for severe headache, weakness, numbness, or confusion.
See Whiplash Treatment After a Car Accident for more.
Knee pain can come from arthritis, tendon and ligament injuries, cartilage (meniscus) damage, or tracking problems in the kneecap. We take a history focused on how the pain began and what aggravates it, then examine gait, alignment, range of motion, stability, and strength through the hip and ankle as well — mechanics above and below the knee often drive knee pain. See knee pain treatment.
Shoulder pain can come from the rotator cuff, the labrum, the joint capsule, surrounding tendons and bursae, or even referred pain from the neck. Because neck problems can masquerade as shoulder pain, our providers examine the cervical spine as well. See shoulder pain treatment.
Your therapist tests range of motion, strength, and the specific movements that reproduce or relieve your symptoms. This is usually where the working diagnosis comes from.
You should leave the first visit having done something, not just having been assessed. Your home program is a small number of specific exercises, with the reasoning explained, because what you do between visits is most of the work.
In weeks 2 to 4 the work is progressive strengthening for whatever was underpowered. This is the phase people skip, and it is the phase that determines whether the pain stays gone.
We also treat herniated discs, spinal stenosis, radiculopathy, sacroiliac joint pain, piriformis syndrome, postural dysfunction and myofascial pain with Physical Therapy.
Where leg pain is driven by irritation along the sciatic distribution rather than by a disc that needs decompressing, Acupuncture is often used to reduce the muscular component while the underlying problem is treated. The examination comes first.
Pain that has outlasted the tissue healing behind it behaves differently, and the aim shifts from fixing a structure to changing how the system responds. That is where Acupuncture sits most comfortably alongside Pain Management — and where it is worth trying a course rather than a single session before judging it.
The clinic is at 5920 S Estes St, Suite 220, Littleton, with Pain Management providers, chiropractors and physical therapists in the same suite.

Low back pain and sciatica account for most of the caseload here, and although they usually arrive together they need different treatment — so separating them is the first thing the examination does. Conditions treated here include Upper Back Pain, Lower Back Pain, Neck Pain, Nerve Pain, Pelvic Pain, Migraines, Arthritis, Sciatica and More.
Parking is on site at the Estes Street clinic, which serves Littleton, Ken Caryl, Columbine and southwest Denver — close enough that most patients don't need to change providers as a plan moves between chiropractic care and physical therapy.
Low back pain is the largest share, from disc and facet joint problems through to plain mechanical strain. Neck pain and cervicogenic headache. Sciatica and radiating leg pain. Mid and upper back pain from desk posture. Whiplash and other car accident injuries. Shoulder, hip and knee complaints. Work injuries and weekend sports injuries from across southwest Denver.
The examination looks for what is actually generating the pain: a restricted joint that will respond to manual work, a disc under load that needs a different approach, a nerve root with real neurological signs, or something outside Chiropractic scope entirely. Range of motion, orthopedic tests, neurological screening of the affected limb.
Where the findings point to imaging first, we order it here rather than sending you elsewhere and waiting on a report.
You see the same chiropractor each visit. Continuity is underrated in manual care — technique matters less than someone knowing your case, and noticing when something is not progressing the way it should.
That becomes clear during the examination rather than after six unproductive visits.
Physical Therapy and Pain Management run out of this same building. When the plan needs to change, it changes here — nobody re-takes your history, and the next clinician is reading the same chart.
Low back pain. Sorting discogenic pain from facet-mediated pain from sacroiliac pain is most of the work. They present similarly and respond to different things. Where examination and imaging agree on a level, a diagnostic medial branch block or transforaminal epidural at the nearest MVPC procedure clinic both identifies the source and treats it.
Sciatica and leg pain — a symptom, not a diagnosis. Lumbar disc, spinal stenosis, piriformis and sacroiliac joint problems all produce it, and treating them identically is why sciatica so often drags on. We localize before we treat.
Neck pain and headache, where headaches starting at the base of the skull are frequently managed as migraine for years; we test the upper cervical joints that reproduce them first. And joint pain — hip, knee and shoulder, and the question of whether the joint is the problem or the spine is referring into it.
Your first appointment is an examination, not a procedure. History, physical examination, and imaging only where the findings call for it.
The reason for that order is that pain is often generated somewhere other than where it hurts. A lumbar disc can present as hip pain with no back pain at all. A facet joint can present as a headache. A nerve root can present as a weak foot.
Treat where it hurts without establishing why and you get temporary relief on a repeating schedule. That is the pattern we are trying to break, and it is why nobody books you for an injection before an examination has happened.

“I absolutely love the people in this office! They are all polite, warm, and caring! Coming here was one of the best decisions I've made.”
“Great facility due to it having Chiropractic as well as Physical Therapy. Very helpful PA as well.”
“From the very first visit here, I was shown nothing but empathy, and had all my questions answered! On the first visit, the provider and I went over goals, and treatment options. And she made sure my treatment plan was tailored to my needs! And everyone I have met has been astonishing! I don't see why anyone here would have a bad experience, only if they didn't obey the basic rules of the clinic. If you are looking for a one-stop shop for Pain Management services (Physical Therapy, Chiropractic, massage, Acupuncture, cupping, injections) and more that I'm probably forgetting, this is the best place for you.”
“Mountain View came into my life after a motor vehicle accident. They have been more than wonderful. Not only have they helped care for me and my injury but have made sure to advise me every step of the way. The care I have received has been top notch, the chiropractor is knowledgeable, and the advice and resources they have provided me I wouldn’t have gotten anywhere else. Choose Mountain View! I’ve had both Chiropractic work and massage!”
