About Our North Scottsdale Office
For over three decades, Life Chiropractic has been a cornerstone of corrective chiropractic care in Ahwatukee, Phoenix, dedicated to addressing the root causes of spinal misalignments for lasting wellness. Now, we’re proud to extend this commitment to North Scottsdale, bringing our science-based, patient-centered approach to a broader community.
Our expansion reflects a shared legacy with Dr. Gulino, a respected North Scottsdale chiropractor whose innovative spinal realignment techniques inspired Dr. M. James Dionisio (Dr. D). After Dr. Gulino’s retirement, Dr. D secured his former office, ensuring a seamless transition for patients and upholding 25 years of corrective care in the area. This move underscores our mission to empower families across Arizona with holistic health solutions.

Our Philosophy: Corrective Chiropractic Care
At Life Chiropractic, we believe a well-aligned, well-moving spine is an important part of your overall well-being. Rather than offering only temporary symptom relief, our corrective approach—often compared to orthodontics for your spine—looks for subluxations (spinal misalignments) and works to improve alignment and function over time. Our goal is to help ease pain and help you move more comfortably in everyday life.
Both our Ahwatukee and North Scottsdale offices offer comprehensive care for patients of all ages, from newborns to seniors, addressing conditions like neck pain, migraines, sciatica, and even stress-related issues. Using advanced diagnostics such as digital thermography, surface electromyography, and X-rays, we create personalized treatment plans built around your goals and re-check your progress along the way.

Your First Visit in Scottsdale
- Health history and consultation. Old injuries and chronic problems matter as much as today’s complaint.
- Exam. Depending on your symptoms and history, this can include digital thermography, range of motion, posture analysis, orthopedic and neurologic testing, and palpation.
- X-rays when appropriate. Low-dose spinal X-rays help rule out other causes of your symptoms.
- Report of findings. We explain what we found, whether it’s something chiropractic care can address, and the recommended frequency and cost. If it isn’t a chiropractic condition, we refer you to a specialist.

Upon graduation, he moved to Arizona and opened his first practice. His current practice is located in the Ahwatukee area of Phoenix.
