About Our Tempe Chiropractic Office

Who We Are

Sports Docs Family Chiro is a chiropractic and sports medicine practice in Tempe, AZ built around the extraordinary clinical expertise of Dr. Jon Porman — known to his patients simply as Dr. P. Dr. P is a Marine Corps Officer, a lifelong athlete, a published author, a motivational speaker, and a holistic chiropractic doctor who has spent more than two decades helping patients heal from injury, overcome pain, and discover what it means to truly thrive. His patient list reads like a who’s who of elite sport: over 2,300 professional and Olympic athletes from more than eight countries have sought his care, as have thousands of everyday individuals who simply want to feel better and live more fully.

But Dr. P’s practice has never been limited to elite athletes. From the high school soccer player recovering from a knee injury to the office worker whose chronic neck pain has become a daily obstacle, Sports Docs Family Chiro welcomes patients at every level of activity and health. Our philosophy is simple: every person deserves the same quality of care that world-class athletes receive. That is exactly what we deliver.

Our Mission

Our mission at Sports Docs Family Chiro is to help every patient move freely, recover completely, and perform at their personal best — whatever that means for them. For an Olympic sprinter, that might mean returning to competition faster than any conventional timeline would suggest. For a parent dealing with lower back pain, it might mean being able to play with their kids without discomfort. For a high school athlete navigating a sports injury and the anxiety that comes with it, it might mean healing physically and mentally at the same time. Whatever your goal, we build a care plan specifically around you — your body, your life, and your definition of success.

What Makes Us Different

Most chiropractic practices offer adjustments. Sports Docs Family Chiro offers something far more comprehensive. Dr. P’s approach to care integrates chiropractic expertise with a suite of advanced treatment technologies and a genuinely holistic evaluation framework that examines your health from every angle. Rather than treating the area that hurts, Dr. P asks why it hurts — and then addresses the answer. His toolkit includes:

• Targeted Frequency Therapy (TFT) — a cellular-level healing modality Dr. P developed himself, using precisely programmed electrical, sound, and light frequencies to reduce inflammation and accelerate tissue repair
• Spinal and extremity chiropractic adjustments to restore proper joint mechanics and relieve nerve pressure
• High-Powered Class 4 Laser Therapy, dry needling, SoundWave Therapy, and microcurrent for deep soft tissue healing
• Muscle-nerve communication assessment and reset to identify and correct neurological dysfunction that underlies many pain conditions
• Nutritional guidance and supplementation recommendations to support healing from the inside out
• Rehabilitation and performance programming tailored to your sport, activity level, and recovery goals
• Motivational and life coaching for athletes navigating the mental and emotional dimensions of performance and recovery

This comprehensive, integrated approach is why patients fly to Tempe, AZ from around the world to see Dr. P — and why those same results are available to you right here in Tempe.

A Practice Built on Results

Dr. P does not measure success by how many patients he sees in a day — he measures it by outcomes. His patients consistently report relief from pain that had resisted years of conventional treatment, return-to-sport timelines that exceed expectations, and a level of personalized attention that is increasingly rare in modern healthcare. The five-star reviews, the testimonials from D1 athletes and Olympic competitors, and the patients who drive hours across the Valley to see him are all testament to what happens when genuine expertise meets genuine care. Read what our patients have to say on our Testimonials page.
