Benefits of Physical Medicine
We consider this one of the most important services we offer. Chiropractic adjustments can help restore your bodies spinal alignment and eliminate nerve interference. Adding a therapeutic rehabilitation and exercise regime to your health program may speed your recovery by strengthening the Core Muscles (front, back and side muscles of your trunk), improving your biomechanics and supporting your bodies ability to stay in proper alignment.
Our goal is long term recovery not short term help. Physical Medicine with chiropractic helps to fix you and give you the tools to keep you healthy.
Rehabilitation is one of the most important differences between Desert Springs and other chiropractors. By strengthening your bodies core, your overall stability improves. That helps you perform better, whether you're sitting behind a desk, playing golf, or chasing your grandchildren around the yard.

Most soft tissue injuries occur during sports and exercise activities, but sometimes simple everyday activities can cause an injury. Tendinitis and bursitis are common soft-tissue overuse injuries. Soft tissue injuries can be debilitating and annoying. At Desert Springs Chiropractic, Dr. Casey Johnston, D.C., DC uses the the Graston Techique. He is the only GT certified provided in the Gilbert area.

There is a testimonial by Michael Phelps the US swimmer who holds the world record in the most Olympic medics with 18 Golds.

SFMA focuses on finding the root and cause of symptoms by breaking down dysfunctional patterns logically rather than simply finding the source of the pain. An isolated or regional approach to evaluation and treatment will not restore complete function.
