"I was just a teenager with a bad disc injury and sciatic pain down both my legs.  I wanted it to go away and didn't particularly want a series of doctors' appointments.  My visits to the family chiropractor turned out to be surprisingly pleasant and even more important, provided rapid relief."

"I remained a chiropractic patient through the years of high school and undergraduate college.  My brother, who had been my 'ride' to Dr. George, had become intrigued with the concepts of chiropractic and had begun studies at Palmer College.  On a timely visit home his enthusiasm encouraged me to join him."

After completing undergraduate studies  in inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, biology, along with basic physiology and anatomy courses in South Africa,  Dr. Powell studied Chiropractic, Physiotherapy and Acupuncture at Palmer College.  Courses included biochemistry, a major emphasis on anatomy and human physiology, X-ray, diagnosis, chiropractic adjusting techniques and patient care in the Palmer College Public Clinic. Post graduate work includes Diplomate studies in Chiropractic Orthopedic from the University of Health Sciences in L.A.,  a Masters of Arts from Arizona State University and a Diplomate in Acupuncture from the Shanghi Research Institute of Acupuncture.  She holds advanced certification in Cervical Spine Trauma.

Dr. Powell has pursued a career-long involvement in Nutritional Biochemisty, and has been a regular attendee of the Institute of Functional Medicine Symposia.

Dr. Powell  maintains a rigorous educational commitment.  She endeavors to educate patients toward understanding their own individualized functional needs and charting a trajectory toward each person's health goals.

She resides in Scottsdale with her husband Gino, their son Christopher, 2 German Shepherds, Woody and Zanni and one Schnauzer, Maggie Rose, otherwise known as Princess Wigglebutt.  She is a regular at the neighborhood dog park.

Dr. Powell  Asks some important questions of interest to Scottsdale residents - Chiropractor Scottsdale Dr. Powell Asks...

How long does it take to form a bone spur?
Many who begin chiropractic care think their problem happened "last week when you bent over funny." But pictures of the spine tell a different story. Chiropractors know it can take your body years to deposit the calcium necessary to form a bone spur. It's your body's response to stress due to gravity or joint malfunction. And chiropractic care can help.
Is a muscle spasm a cause or an effect?
With the knee-jerk use of muscle relaxers, you'd think it was a cause. But it's an effect. Chiropractors know that bones don't move unless muscles move them. And muscles don't contract unless commanded by the nervous system. That's why your nervous system is the focus of our Scottsdale chiropractic practice.
