Spinal traction has several effects on the spine. It can obviously decompress the spine and the vertebral structures such as the discs and the vertebral joints, and therefore decrease irritation on the nerves by increasing the space in the spine where the nerves exit. It can also decrease muscle spasm, increase blood flow and decrease the sensitivity and pain in the spine.

AFC Physical Medicine & Chiropractic Centers has a rich and unique history that began on a bus in San Francisco. Dr. Kevin Wall and Dr. Josh Bock met while traveling to a training seminar in The City by the Bay. At the time, both physicians were running separate practices in Arizona that were bursting at the seams. After conversing for quite some time, Dr. Wall and Dr. Bock realized they shared similar values and ideas on structured management, continued education, and patient care.    The two physicians aspired to help more people. They also wanted to help other providers launch successful practices in a highly competitive and growing market, all while maintaining a patient-centric environment. Dr. Wall and Dr. Bock concluded both of their business models and healthcare philosophies had a visible impact on helping patients restore health.    This realization led to their desire to make a bigger impact in the community, which ignited the early beginnings of AFC Physical Medicine & Chiropractic Centers. After combining forces, Dr. Wall and Dr. Bock began opening practices in various parts of the Valley, including Mesa, San Tan Valley, Gilbert, Desert Ridge, and Peoria. Around this time, their practices received an official name: AFC Physical Medicine & Chiropractic Centers.    Today, AFC has expanded to 9 locations Valley-wide. While the practice has grown substantially in the last several years, Dr. Wall and Dr. Bock take pride in AFC's mom and pop, community-based feel.   AFC Physical Medicine & Chiropractic Centers is staffed with some of the Valley’s best physicians’ assistants, chiropractors, nurse practitioners, medical assistants, physical therapist techs, and massage therapists. Using advanced diagnostics, superior testing technologies, and cutting-edge medical equipment, the team at AFC strives to provide exceptional care to patients suffering from a variety of ailments, conditions, or injuries.   We've been around for over 30 years, and we'll be here for you for the next 30.
