Meet Arizona’s Trusted Pain Relief Doctor
Dr. Zimmerman D.C.
Dr. Zimmerman earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Logan College of Chiropractic, graduating Cum Laude, and has been a board-certified chiropractic physician since 1985. He has also pursued additional certifications in Physical Medicine Modalities and Therapeutic Procedures (PMMTP) giving him an even deeper understanding of how to treat neuromusculoskeletal disorders. With more than 40 years of experience, he has built a reputation for successfully treating complex and chronic pain conditions, particularly in patients who have not responded to traditional care. His clinical focus includes spine-related conditions such as back pain, sciatica, disc bulges and herniation, and spinal stenosis, as well as joint injuries like shoulder and knee pain, arthritis, neuropathy, and chronic nerve-related pain.
Throughout his career, Dr. Zimmerman has pursued formal postgraduate training in comprehensive, non-invasive pain therapies, including low-intensity laser therapy, spinal decompression, and functional rehabilitation. His approach integrates tissue healing, inflammation resolution and restoring biochemical reserves, (moved biomechanics), improving nervous system function, biomechanics and movement-based care, and brain based protocols to address all of the underlying causes of pain rather than simply masking symptoms. He has also completed extensive training in areas such as neuromodulation, concussion care, soft tissue and fascial therapies, diagnosis and management of difficult nerve and musculoskeletal conditions, and the biochemistry and implementation of nutrition for inflammation, healing, and chronic pain.
In addition to his clinical work, Dr. Zimmerman served as Chief of Staff at Emergency Chiropractic, a large healthcare organization focused on acute injury care. He is the author of Unlocking the Chronic Pain Code, where he outlines his approach to helping patients restore function, reduce pain, and return to the activities they enjoy.

My husband went to Dr. Zimmerman because he had drop foot. Dr. Z was able to start treatment right away as he could not lift his foot. He also told us to get a second opinion from a neurologist … More who told us it could take up to two years for him to get better. Dr. Zimmerman had him better in four weeks. He is absolutely amazing and one of the most compassionate doctors I’ve dealt with. Thank you Dr. Z
How LaserTech Helps 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.
