About Optimal Health Center

We've been delivering quality chiropractic care to the Tempe community since 1988.

Our approach is simple. We believe that health is among our most valuable possessions. And while we generally meet people after they've lost their health, our commitment is two-fold:

Relief or wellness care... its your choice.
1. Relief Care

When many people seek care in our office they have one goal: relief. So that's where we start! During this initial stage of intensive care, we have several obligations:

  • Uncover the underlying cause of your health problem

  • Suggest a care plan to produce the best results possible

  • Offer ways patients can participate in their recovery

  • Explain the value of post-symptomatic wellness care
2. Wellness Care

We encourage our patients to achieve the highest levels of health they can. Through educational opportunities (like this website), we hope to communicate the value of ongoing chiropractic care. Our desire is to see our patients abandon the prevailing sickness care model of health (waiting for symptoms and then taking action), in favor of the emerging wellness model.

You're the Boss

Regardless of your health goals, please understand that we see ourselves as mere servants. You're the boss! It's your body, your health and your future. Our job is to offer you the finest chiropractic care possible, and it's up to you to decide how much of it you want.

 Dr. Jim Asks some important questions of interest to Tempe residents - Chiropractor Tempe Dr. Jim Asks...

What's the difference between sick care and health care?
Sick care is largely about relieving or suppressing symptoms. Health care is about improving performance. While sick care is about how you feel, health care is about how you function. Sick care is what you do to treat an obvious problem, and health care is what you do to avoid the problem and advance your well-being.
How long does it take to form a bone spur?
Many who begin chiropractic care think their problem happened "last week when you bent over funny." But pictures of the spine tell a different story. Chiropractors know it can take your body years to deposit the calcium necessary to form a bone spur. It's your body's response to stress due to gravity or joint malfunction. And chiropractic care can help.
