Individual Care in Tempe

Comprehensive Care for Everyday People in Tempe, AZ

Not every patient who walks through our doors is a competitive athlete — and that is perfectly fine. Dr. Porman’s 27+ years of experience spans far beyond the sports field. He has helped thousands of everyday individuals in Tempe, AZ and across the country find lasting relief from chronic pain, fatigue, sleep disruption, and a wide range of conditions that diminish quality of life. His approach is the same regardless of your activity level: identify the root cause, reduce inflammation, restore function, and build a healthier, more resilient body for the long term.

Conditions We Help Individuals With

If you are suffering from any of the following conditions, you may find meaningful relief through Dr. Porman’s individualized care:

• Joint and Muscle Pain — Whether from an old injury, arthritis, or everyday wear and tear, Dr. Porman uses a combination of chiropractic techniques, soft tissue therapy, and TFT to reduce inflammation and restore comfortable movement.
• Sports Injuries — Even if you are not a competitive athlete, active hobbies and recreational sports can result in strains, sprains, and overuse injuries. Our sports injury treatment program addresses these effectively at any level.
• Back Pain and Lower Back Pain — Two of the most common reasons patients seek chiropractic care. Dr. Porman addresses both back pain and lower back pain by identifying the structural, neurological, or muscular cause and building a targeted treatment plan.
• Neck Pain — From postural strain and tech neck to injury-related cervical spine dysfunction, neck pain is treated with a combination of adjustments, soft tissue techniques, and TFT.
• Shoulder Pain — Including rotator cuff conditions, frozen shoulder, and general shoulder stiffness. Learn more on our shoulder pain and rotator cuff treatment pages.
• Knee Pain — Whether from past injuries, degeneration, or biomechanical imbalances, knee pain is addressed through functional evaluation and multi-modal treatment.
• Migraines and Headaches — Many chronic headaches are driven by cervical spine dysfunction, muscle tension, or neurological imbalances that respond well to chiropractic care and TFT.
• Sleeping Problems — Pain, inflammation, and nervous system dysregulation are common culprits behind poor sleep. Addressing these underlying issues often leads to significant improvement in sleep quality.
• Chronic Fatigue and Lack of Energy — Chronic fatigue can have musculoskeletal, neurological, and systemic roots. Dr. Porman evaluates the whole body to identify and address contributing factors.
• Fibromyalgia — Patients with fibromyalgia often find that a combination of TFT, soft tissue techniques, and lifestyle guidance provides meaningful relief where other treatments have fallen short.
• Chronic Pain — Long-standing pain conditions that have not responded to conventional care are one of Dr. Porman’s specialties. His cellular-level approach through TFT can reach the source of pain in ways that other treatments cannot.
• Allergies and Asthma — Neurological and systemic imbalances addressed through TFT and chiropractic care can positively influence immune and respiratory function for some patients.
• Spinal Pain — Dysfunction anywhere along the spine — cervical, thoracic, or lumbar — can cause local pain and referred symptoms throughout the body. Dr. Porman’s comprehensive spinal evaluation and treatment approach addresses these issues at their source.
• Auto Accident Injuries — Whiplash, soft tissue injuries, and spinal trauma from auto accidents are treated with a combination of gentle, effective therapies designed to restore function and relieve pain without surgery or medication.
• Anxiety and Depression — Dr. Porman recognizes the deep connection between physical and mental health. For patients dealing with anxiety or depression, a whole-body care approach that addresses physical contributors can be a powerful complement to mental health support.

What Makes Individual Care at Sports Docs Different

At most chiropractic clinics, individual patients receive a relatively standardized set of adjustments and perhaps some heat or electrical stimulation. At Sports Docs Family Chiro, your care is genuinely personalized. Dr. Porman invests time in understanding your full health picture — your symptoms, history, lifestyle, goals, and what has and has not worked for you in the past. From there, he builds a treatment plan that may incorporate any combination of:

• Targeted Frequency Therapy for cellular-level healing and pain relief
• Spinal and extremity chiropractic adjustments
• Muscle-nerve connection assessment and reset
• Soft tissue mobilization, dry needling, and Class 4 laser therapy
• SoundWave Therapy for tissue repair
• Nutritional guidance and supplementation recommendations
• Strength and conditioning principles tailored to your fitness level
• Lifestyle and ergonomic coaching for long-term health maintenance

This comprehensive, individualized approach is why patients from across the Valley — and beyond — choose Dr. Porman even when they are not athletes. For information on what your first visit will look like, visit our Your First Visit page or review our payment options.
