Serving Glendale, Westgate, Arrowhead Ranch, Litchfield Park, west Phoenix
Care at our Glendale clinic starts with an exam, not a standard plan — Pain Management, Chiropractic care, Physical Therapy and Acupuncture are delivered from the same Westgate-area suite, so what you're offered depends on what the exam finds. Joint injections for the shoulder, knee and other joints are given here in Glendale by our PAs, as are Dysport (botulinum toxin) injections for cervical dystonia.
Translation in any language is available at every clinic.
The 91st Avenue clinic serves Glendale, west Phoenix and Litchfield Park, close to Westgate. Back and neck pain make up the bulk of what we see, with a steady stream of shoulder and knee complaints from people whose work or sport loads those joints hard. Conditions treated here include: See everything we evaluate
Our Glendale clinic on North 91st Avenue has licensed chiropractors on site, working alongside pain physicians, physical therapists and acupuncturists. If you are looking for a chiropractor in Glendale, you can book directly — no referral is needed.
Glendale 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.
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 Glendale 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 Glendale, Westgate, Arrowhead Ranch, Litchfield Park and west Phoenix. Learn more about our Chiropractic care approach, see our Phoenix-area Chiropractic care, or read about car accident Chiropractic care.
Our Glendale clinic on North 91st 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.
Glendale 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.

Physical Therapy at Westgate is delivered by Graham Nuss, PTA, working from the same chart as your chiropractor and your Pain Management provider. Arizona is a direct access state, so you can start Physical Therapy here without a physician referral — bring your insurance card and we will verify benefits before your first session.
What we treat most in Glendale: post-surgical rehabilitation, rotator cuff and shoulder impingement, knee osteoarthritis and post-meniscus recovery, low back and neck pain, hip and gluteal tendon pain, plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendon pain, and return-to-work conditioning after a job or motor vehicle injury. Sessions are one-to-one, and every plan includes work you continue at home between visits.
Our Glendale clinic on North 91st Avenue offers Acupuncture in Glendale, AZ alongside Pain Management, Chiropractic care and Physical Therapy. No referral is needed, and most major plans are accepted. For the wider Phoenix area, see Acupuncture in Phoenix, AZ.
Cupping is performed here as well; see cupping therapy.
Glendale 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.

Looking for a specific service in Glendale? See Pain Management in Glendale for how we diagnose and treat, or Chiropractic care in Glendale for same-week adjustment.
Conditions treated here include: Upper Back Pain, Lower Back Pain, Neck Pain, Nerve Pain, Pelvic Pain, Migraines, Arthritis, Sciatica and More.
Free lot parking is available at Suite 230, and Pain Management, Chiropractic care, Physical Therapy and Acupuncture all run from the same suite — so a plan can move between them without a referral.
Guided injections at this clinic are performed under fluoroscopy on site, so the needle is placed under live imaging rather than by landmark alone.
Our Glendale team treats the full range of musculoskeletal and nerve pain, with Pain Management, Physical Therapy, Chiropractic care, and Acupuncture in the same building.
Back pain treatment in Glendale — from acute strains to herniated discs, sciatica, and arthritis of the spine.
Neck pain treatment in Glendale — including headaches that start at the base of the skull and pain radiating into the shoulder or arm.
Shoulder pain treatment in Glendale — rotator cuff injuries, impingement, and stiffness that limits overhead motion.
Knee pain treatment in Glendale — arthritis, meniscus and ligament injuries, and pain that worsens on stairs.
Nerve pain and neuropathy — numbness, tingling, and burning pain in the hands or feet.
Car accident and auto injuries — see car accident Chiropractic care, what to expect from a chiropractor after a car accident, and whiplash treatment.
If you are looking for a back pain specialist in Glendale or the west Valley, our providers will start with an exam and imaging where it is indicated, then build a non-surgical plan around restoring function.
Low back pain is a location, not a diagnosis, and the four usual sources behave differently. A facet joint tends to hurt on standing and arching backward, and often first thing in the morning. A disc tends to hurt on sitting and bending forward. The sacroiliac joint produces pain that sits low and to one side. Muscle guarding can sit on top of any of the three and mask which one started it.
The first visit is built around telling these apart, because the plan that helps a facet joint does little for a disc, and treating the wrong one wastes the weeks that actually matter.
Because so much of this clinic's caseload is on its feet for a living, the plan usually includes a specific plan for the job itself — how to lift, how to stand, and when a brief change in duties is worth asking for while the low back settles.
See Low Back Pain Treatment in Glendale, AZ for more.
Neck pain at this clinic is often a headache problem in disguise. Pain that starts at the base of the skull and spreads into the temple or behind the eye is frequently cervicogenic — coming from the joints and muscles of the upper neck rather than the head itself — and it responds to a different plan than a migraine does. Pain or numbness running down into the shoulder or arm points somewhere else again, toward a nerve root rather than a joint.
We start with an exam to separate these patterns, then build a plan from Chiropractic care for the segments that have stiffened, Physical Therapy for the postural strength that keeps it from returning, and Acupuncture where muscle guarding is part of what is holding the pain in place. Patients come to us for neck pain from Glendale, Peoria, Sun City and Arrowhead.
Shoulder pain is one of the most common reasons patients come to our Glendale clinic, and it is rarely just the shoulder. Rotator cuff tendinopathy and tears, impingement, frozen shoulder, AC joint arthritis and bursitis all present as pain reaching into the upper arm, and stiffness through the mid-back and shoulder blade often drives the problem. We start with an exam, add imaging where it is indicated, and build a non-surgical plan from there — Physical Therapy for rotator cuff and scapular strength, manual therapy for the thoracic spine, targeted injections where appropriate, and Acupuncture for pain that is slow to settle.
If you have been told to wait and see whether a shoulder settles on its own, and it has not, that is a reasonable point to be reassessed. Patients travel to us from Glendale, Peoria, Sun City, Arrowhead and North Phoenix.
Knee pain in adults is usually osteoarthritis, meniscus irritation, patellofemoral pain, or tendinopathy around the kneecap — and the right treatment differs sharply between them, so the exam matters. Our Glendale providers assess how the knee loads and tracks, image it when the findings warrant, and treat with Physical Therapy for quadriceps and hip strength, activity modification, bracing, and injections where they are appropriate.
Knee pain that has not improved after several weeks, that swells after ordinary activity, or that makes stairs difficult is worth having looked at properly rather than managed indefinitely.
Tennis elbow and golfer's elbow are tendon overload injuries, not inflammation in the way most people assume, which is why rest alone so often fails to resolve them. Loading the tendon correctly is what changes them. We also treat wrist and hand pain including carpal tunnel symptoms, and we look at the neck when hand symptoms follow a nerve pattern rather than a joint one — pain and numbness in the hand frequently begin higher up.
Hip pain is often referred pain. A lumbar disc, a sacroiliac joint or a gluteal tendon can each present as pain felt in the hip, which is why a first visit here starts with a physical exam and imaging where the findings call for it, rather than with treatment. Once we know what is driving it, care can combine Chiropractic adjustment, Physical Therapy to rebuild hip and core strength, and an image-guided injection from our Pain Management team when conservative care alone is not enough.
The hip problems we see most often at Westgate are osteoarthritis, greater trochanteric bursitis, gluteal tendinopathy, and pain referred from the lumbar spine or the SI joint.
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 Glendale 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.
Low back pain, and the work of separating discogenic from facet-mediated from sacroiliac pain — they present alike and need different treatment. Sciatica and radiating leg pain, which is a symptom rather than a diagnosis and has at least four common causes.
Neck pain and cervicogenic headache — headaches generated by the upper cervical spine, frequently managed as migraine for years. Shoulder, hip and knee pain, including the question of whether the joint is at fault or the spine is referring into it.
Work injuries, treated and documented for the claim.
You will spend most of the first visit being examined rather than being treated. We take a history, test movement and neurological function, review any imaging you already have, and order more only when the exam calls for it. You leave with a diagnosis and a plan, not a prescription and a follow-up.
If the right next step is therapy or an adjustment rather than an injection, that is what we will say — and it happens in the same building, usually the same week.
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.
If the exam and imaging point to a specific pain generator, a diagnostic medial branch block or epidural steroid injection confirms the source and treats it.
At Mountain View Pain Center in Glendale, 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 at Westgate Medical near Westgate Entertainment District, 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 Glendale.
The caseload around Westgate is shaped by the work here: hospitality, events, retail, warehousing and construction. A lot of standing, a lot of lifting, and shifts that do not respect the idea of a recovery schedule.
The classic presentation is a low back that has been complaining for months and then failed properly during an ordinary lift. The failure is what brings people in; the months are what actually need addressing.
The second is the overhead shoulder — years of reaching above head height, gradually losing range, until something acute happens. Both are examinable, both are treatable, and both do far better looked at before the acute episode rather than after.
In a Glendale summer, chronic mild dehydration is close to universal among people working outdoors or moving in and out of air conditioning all day, and it makes muscular pain, cramping and spasm measurably worse.
We raise it because it is one of the few things that changes how quickly treatment holds. An adjustment that keeps slipping in July is often a soft-tissue problem being fed by something outside the treatment room.
The other half of the west Valley caseload is mileage. Neck and mid-back pain in people covering serious distance across the Valley every day behaves more like a sustained-posture problem than an injury, and it is treated as one.
Alongside it: knees that have taken concrete flooring for a decade, and shoulders that have been loading overhead for years. Neither responds well to being told to rest. Both respond well to being examined properly and given a plan that fits an actual working week.

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.
We’re located at 6622 N 91st Ave, Suite 230 in Glendale, AZ (Westgate area). You can use the map on this page for directions.
We treat a wide range of pain-related conditions including upper and lower back pain, neck pain, nerve pain, sciatica, headaches/migraines, joint pain, and sports-related injuries. If you’re not sure, schedule an evaluation and we’ll help you find the right plan.
It depends on your insurance plan. Many patients do not need a referral, but some plans require one for certain services. If you call, our team can help verify what your plan requires.

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.

No. Our focus is interventional procedures, Physical Therapy, Chiropractic, and Acupuncture — medication is one tool, not the plan.
The clinic is on 91st Avenue at Westgate, a few minutes off Loop 101.
Both are a straight run east on I-10 and up Loop 101. Patients from the far West Valley often drive past closer single-service offices to get here, because Pain Management, Physical Therapy, Chiropractic and Acupuncture are in the one building and everyone treating you works from the same notes.
Avondale and Tolleson come north on 99th Avenue or Dysart. Most people are seen the same week, and no referral is needed for any of the four services.
From north Glendale and south Peoria the clinic is a few minutes down the 101. When a plan needs an injection or a procedure, that is done in our Arizona offices rather than sent to a surgery center, so it does not become a second appointment somewhere else.
The Loop 101 and I-10 interchange accounts for a good deal of the collision work we see here. We can bill med-pay or treat on a lien, and the imaging, the notes and the treatment stay in one place, which is what an attorney or an adjuster ends up asking for.
