Spine and Disc Center of Arizona is a one-stop spinal health shop BY ALISON STANTON
In the almost two years she has worked as front desk manager at Spine and Disc Center of Arizona in Gilbert, Charity Solberg has greeted patients of all ages. From high school athletes who come in for physical therapy to seniors who have been in a car accident, Solberg said the office is a one-stop shop for people in pain. “We have Dr. Jason Taylor here, who does all of the chiropractic appointments, and since he also has his physiotherapy license he can also do some physical therapy,” Solberg said. In addition to Taylor, who is a Chandler resident, Solberg said Spine and Disc Center of Arizona has a nurse practitioner on staff who specializes in pain management, and a team of five massage therapists. “We work with people who are in acute pain, chronic pain and pre- and post-operative patients, as well as people who have been in motor vehicle accidents and workman’s compensation cases,” Solberg said. The office also provides trigger point injections and spinal decompression therapy. Soon it will offer dry needling. Although people typically associate chiropractic care with neck and back pain, Solberg said Taylor treats a wide variety of other health issues, including headaches, anxiety and stress. “It’s all related to the nervous system, and when people are super stressed out, they are more likely to get knots in their neck and back,” Solberg said. For people who have fallen and suffered bruising, Solberg said they offer laser therapy that helps the body heal. “When the cells are broken down, the laser therapy will get the energy to the area to allow it to heal faster,” she said. Laser therapy is also ideal for areas that are hard to treat with physical therapy. Spine and Disc Center of Arizona also offers a specialized Stretch to Win program that Solberg said is ideal for relieving pain, muscle tightness and improving athletic performance. “Massage can sometimes take a couple of days to see results, but with stretching we see improvement right away,” Solberg said.

Spine and Disc Center of Arizona stands out because it has a full-sized gym inside the facility, Solberg said. “We do personal training right in the back as well as strength therapy training,” she said. Solberg said she enjoys working at an office that is not only devoted to helping people feel better, but is also involved in the community. “We support nonprofit organizations like Singleton Moms, which helps single parents with cancer,” she said. “I like the way everybody is on the same page here, and we are always willing to help people out.” Spine and Disc Center is located at 690 E. Warner Rd., Suite 113, in Gilbert. For more information, call (480) 633-3399 or visit www.spineofaz.com.
