About Arizona Pain & Posture in Scottsdale, AZ
Arizona Pain & Posture, LLC is a Scottsdale, AZ chiropractic and physical therapy practice dedicated to solving chronic, complicated, and long-standing pain. Since Dr. Marc Bonacci opened the practice in 1998, our office has become a trusted resource for patients and physicians across the Valley, especially for cases that have not responded to other treatment. Many of our patients are referred by local medical doctors who trust us with their most difficult cases and their own families.
We believe the human body is designed to heal, not to live in pain. Our role is to find what is blocking that healing and remove it. Read our story, meet Dr. Bonacci and our team, or review our mission statement to learn more about who we are.
The Bonacci Method℠: A Multidisciplinary Approach
The Bonacci Method℠ of Regenerative Alignment was developed by Marc Bonacci, D.C., P.M.M.T.P., out of moments when nothing else was working. Early in his career, Dr. Bonacci found that the most difficult cases did not respond to the techniques he had been taught. So he began combining orthopedic testing, hard science, and clinical intuition with his training in physical medicine modalities and therapeutic procedures. He learned that every body and every injury is different, and that each person needs a unique approach.
Over the years, he refined a method for finding the true source of pain and gently maneuvering muscles and soft tissue so the body can heal and regain strength. The technique uses manual repositioning strokes, holds, and compartment decompressions to rearrange the spatial orientation of muscles, joints, nerves, discs, and fascia. Often a very small change makes a very big difference, and several small changes can resolve the problem completely.
Dr. Bonacci’s personal rule is that every visit should have a positive outcome. He is persistent, patient, and always learning. Each new case helps the method evolve, which is why it continues to succeed with patients others have given up on.
Why Strength and Posture Matter
Every patient is different, but one truth applies to all of them: to live without pain, the body must be strong enough to hold good posture and move with proper ergonomics during daily activities. Weakness is one of the most common reasons pain keeps returning. That is why every care plan includes corrective exercises and at-home care tailored to your condition. Movement is life, and movement is healing.
Physical Therapy With the Feldenkrais Method®
The Feldenkrais Method® is a gentle, effective technique created by scientist and martial artist Moshe Feldenkrais after a knee injury left him facing surgery. Instead, he developed a method now used by professional athletes, dancers, and everyday people with neck and back pain.
The technique retrains movement patterns by improving communication between the brain and the body. Based on neurology, physics, and physiology, it replaces painful movement habits with new, healthy ones. At our office, licensed physical therapist Jeanne Hills teaches these gentle movements, which patients then practice at home. As new muscle memory develops, posture improves and pain fades.
Jeanne’s motto is “Don’t move into more pain.” Physical therapy has a reputation for being painful, but not here. Her slow, meditative approach allows tension to release and movement to increase gradually, making it suitable for patients of any age.
Note: Most insurance plans cover physical therapy. If you have had trouble getting chiropractic coverage in the past, physical therapy may be a covered option for you. See our insurance page or call us to verify your benefits.
