Spinal & Postural Screenings in Scottsdale, AZ
Poor posture and spinal imbalances often develop slowly, long before they cause noticeable pain. A spinal and postural screening at Arizona Pain & Posture, LLC in Scottsdale, AZ helps identify these problems early, so they can be corrected before they lead to chronic back pain, neck pain, headaches, or injury.
Dr. Marc Bonacci has spent more than two decades studying how posture affects pain. Research and clinical experience both show that improving posture is one of the most important steps in preventing pain. A screening gives you a clear picture of how your body is aligned today and what you can do to protect it in the future.
What a Screening Includes
A spinal and postural screening is quick, comfortable, and non-invasive. Depending on your needs, it may include:
- A visual posture assessment from the front, back, and side
- Evaluation of shoulder, hip, and head position
- Range-of-motion testing for the neck, back, and joints
- Orthopedic tests to identify areas of strain or nerve irritation
- A review of your daily habits, work setup, and activity level
After your screening, we will explain what we found in plain language and recommend next steps, whether that is simple lifestyle changes, corrective exercises, or a full evaluation.

- Office workers who sit at a desk or computer for long hours
- Drivers, including truck drivers and frequent commuters
- Students and teens who spend hours on phones and tablets
