Request an AppointmentOur Chiropractic and Sports Medicine Services
Every patient who walks through our doors in Tempe, AZ receives individualized attention. Dr. Porman’s 27+ years of experience treating over 2,300 professional and Olympic athletes means your care is guided by a level of expertise rarely found in a local chiropractic clinic. Below is an overview of the services we offer and the types of patients we serve.
Sports Injury Treatment
From sprains and strains to complex soft tissue tears, our sports injury treatment program is designed to get you back in the game as quickly and safely as possible. Dr. Porman uses a multi-modal approach combining Targeted Frequency Therapy, soft tissue mobilization, rehabilitation exercises, chiropractic adjustments, and performance optimization guidance. Whether you are a competitive athlete or a weekend warrior, we develop a plan built around your recovery goals. We treat conditions such as shoulder pain, knee pain, back pain, and more.
Targeted Frequency Therapy (TFT)
One of the most distinctive services at Sports Docs Family Chiro is Targeted Frequency Therapy — a non-invasive, drug-free treatment pioneered by Dr. Porman himself. TFT uses precisely programmed electrical, sound, and light frequencies to communicate at the cellular level, reducing inflammation, eliminating pain, and accelerating the body’s natural healing process. There are hundreds of available frequencies, each targeting a specific tissue type — muscle, nerve, ligament, cartilage, lymphatic, or organ systems. This therapy has been used on athletes across the globe and is available as both an in-office treatment and a home unit for ongoing care.
Rotator Cuff Injury Treatment
Shoulder injuries are among the most common and debilitating conditions for athletes and active adults alike. Our rotator cuff injury treatment combines dry needling, Class 4 laser therapy, SoundWave Therapy, and spinal and extremity adjustments to reduce inflammation, rebuild strength, and restore comfortable range of motion — without surgery. If you are experiencing deep shoulder aches, weakness overhead, or pain that disrupts your sleep, Dr. Porman can help identify and treat the source of your discomfort.
Injury Prevention & Recovery
Not every patient comes to us in pain. Our injury prevention and recovery service is designed for athletes and active individuals who want to stay healthy and perform at their best. Dr. Porman evaluates overall body function, identifies areas of weakness or imbalance, and builds customized prevention strategies that reduce your risk of injury during training and competition. His published articles on injury and recovery have appeared in nationally syndicated publications, reflecting the depth of knowledge he brings to every patient visit.
Care for Athletes
Athletes have unique physical demands that require specialized care. Our athlete-focused services follow Dr. Porman’s proven hierarchy of treatment: decrease inflammation, decrease pain, increase range of motion, increase strength, and improve cardiovascular fitness. This structured approach ensures that healing progresses in the right order, reducing the likelihood of re-injury. Dr. Porman has worked with Olympic teams, NHL teams, D1 college programs, and professional athletes from over eight countries — bringing that same world-class expertise to patients right here in Tempe.
Care for Individuals
You do not have to be a professional athlete to benefit from Dr. Porman’s care. Our individual care services address a wide range of conditions including joint and muscle pain, chronic fatigue, migraines, fibromyalgia, sleeping problems, allergies, spinal pain, and more. Using chiropractic techniques, muscle-nerve connection resets, nutritional guidance, strength training principles, and Targeted Frequency Therapy, Dr. Porman helps everyday patients in Tempe, AZ live fuller, more pain-free lives.
