Conditions Treated
Advanced Clinical Solutions
With over 37 years of experience treating elite athletes and complex chronic cases, Dr. Matthew Dorchester provides a multidisciplinary approach to recovery for patients who have often reached a plateau with traditional care.
1. Advanced Spine & Disc Pathology
When standard adjustments aren't enough, our integrated model addresses the underlying structural and neurological components of spinal pain. We specialize in managing:
Sciatica & Radiculopathy: Relieving nerve compression and restoring mobility.
Herniated & Bulging Discs: Utilizing non-invasive protocols to reduce inflammation and disc pressure.
Spinal Stenosis: Improving functional capacity and quality of life through specialized mobilization.
Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS): Providing a secondary pathway for recovery when surgical intervention has not provided the expected relief.
2. Treatment-Resistant & Chronic Conditions
We are one of the few Phoenix-area clinics specialized in breaking through chronic "plateaus" using advanced interventions.
Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis): Restoring range of motion where traditional physical therapy has failed.
Chronic Fibrosis & Scar Tissue: Utilizing specialized protocols to break down internal adhesions.
Manipulation Under Anesthesia (MUA) Candidacy: We identify and treat patients whose chronic conditions require "twilight sedation" to bypass muscle guarding and restore lost function.
3. Elite Athletic & Extremity Injuries
Drawing from decades of work with the NFL, NHL, NBA, and PRCA, Dr. Dorchester applies professional-grade recovery tactics to all patients.
Rotator Cuff & Shoulder Impingement: Restoring the mechanics of the shoulder complex.
Hip & Knee Dysfunction: Addressing gait issues and joint restrictions in high-impact movers.
Tennis & Golfer’s Elbow: Targeted soft-tissue rehabilitation for overuse syndromes.
Chronic Hamstring & Groin Strains: Precision care for recurring athletic limitations.
4. Neurological & Trauma Recovery
Our multidisciplinary approach is essential for the complex nature of head and neck trauma.
Migraines & Tension Headaches: Identifying the cervical and neurological triggers of chronic head pain.
Whiplash & Personal Injury: Comprehensive documentation and treatment for high-velocity cervical spine trauma.
Concussion Supportive Care: Coordinating with medical partners to manage the musculoskeletal symptoms of head injuries.
