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 maintenance, prevention and wellness?
Maintenance chiropractic care is an attempt to keep a dynamic, ever-changing and adapting organism (you) in a static relationship with your environment. Preventive chiropractic care is mostly about early detection. Wellness chiropractic care is an attempt to optimize our health and be all that you were designed to be.
Why are chiropractors wary of the germ theory?
Louis Pasteur originated the idea that germs caused disease. Yet, on his deathbed he recanted, declaring, "It's not the seed, but the soil." Meaning, it's not the germ that causes disease, but the condition of the body that allows the germ to thrive. Chiropractic care in our Tempe office is designed to bolster your resistance so germs don't see you as a good host.
