Meet Arizona’s Trusted Pain Relief Doctor
Dr. Zimmerman D.C.
Dr. Zimmerman has been treating pain for more than 30 years. He spent six successful years in St. Louis working with injured patients who had chronic pain that did not respond to traditional treatments. He developed a positive reputation for taking difficult cases that most other clinics couldn’t solve. For 16 years, he ran one of the most successful practices in Arizona and ultimately became the Chief of Staff of a large health care company with a focus on acute injury care.
Throughout this time he realized that chronic pain was becoming a huge epidemic in America, and, in 2006, he decided to focus on new, drug free treatment technologies for chronic pain sufferers. He understood numbing that pain wasn’t the solution and sought out other methods.
Dr. Zimmerman is certified in physical medicine modalities and therapeutic procedures, is a chiropractic physician and has additional training and extensive experience in the multiple pain relieving technologies utilized at LaserTech. He is proud of the fact that he can help relieve pain when other treatments have failed.

11/10/24I received a Neuropathy diagnosis approximately 4 years ago following failed back surgeries and the discontinuation of 18 years of prescribed opioid medication. I have been evaluated … More and not helped by various medical professionals including a Podiatrist, Pain Clinic, Vascular Surgeon, Chief of Barrow Neurological Institute, Banner University Neurological Clinic, and Ortho Arizona. Each time I was referred to the next. I have tried TENS Units, Quell, and Physical Therapy. I have also tried home remedies using Ice, Heat, Foot Massages, Numbing Sprays, Arthritis Cream, and CBD Cream. My hope was LaserTech could provide me some relief from the symptoms, however I found Dr Zimmerman focuses on the “cause” not just the symptoms.During the treatment plans with Dr Zimmerman and his therapists I was first able to wiggle my toes after years of not being able to. It is no longer painful to have my feet touched. The constant Burning Pain is no longer constant, and I am able to be more ambulatory. I’ve seen approximately 85% decrease in Neuropathy pain and an increase in sensation over the course of treatment, realizing Neuropathy has no cure. I am now transitioning to the Maintenance Phase of the program.Dr Zimmerman is “one of a kind”! You feel like he is personally trying to help you improve. He is both knowledgeable and introspective in evaluating if all has been done to help you. The Therapy Staff are friendly, proficient, and extremely invested in your progress. Everyone is greeted by name and taken care of promptly. The atmosphere is light and upbeat while the #1 priority is always you. I am sincerely grateful for all their help!Margaret Hodan
As one of the most innovative pain management clinics in the Phoenix Valley, you can look forward to receiving effective, drug free treatments that don’t just mask your painful symptoms, but that attack the root source of the pain, providing you the opportunity to receive significant, long-lasting relief.
How We Help Relieve Chronic Pain
The vast majority of pain is caused by damaged tissue and cartilage degeneration and abnormal physiological functioning. The pain you feel acts as an alarm in that it alerts the brain that something in your body has gone awry and that the root problem needs to be treated in order to reduce pain and improve your symptoms. Most traditional care focuses primarily on silencing this alarm (i.e. pain) and has little to no impact on the actual cause of the pain.
At LaserTech, our team works to find and treat the cause of your pain, not just the symptoms. We treat the 5 common causes of persistent pain, which include: damage, inflammation, nerves, function and the central nervous system. We are confident in our approach and we will work hard to provide you the opportunity for long-lasting relief and the restored quality of life you deserve. And best of all, every treatment we provide is non-invasive – we never use drugs, steroid injections or surgery. While American people are living longer lives on average, most of them are not living their lives to the fullest because they’re constantly weighed down by chronic pain.
Our high level of dedication and effectiveness may be just what you need to get back to the quality life you deserve.
