I know a lot of people have opinions about chiropractors one way or another - but you really have to put those feelings aside when going to Ahwatukee Spine and Disc. Dr. Rudd and Dr. Christopher do much more than just crack you and say, "See you next Thursday." Their goal is to make it so they don't have to see you next Thursday. In addition to adjustments, they also provide decompression, active release therapy (a personal favorite), kinesiology taping, ultrasound, stretching, therapeutic exercises to help cure imbalance and weakness, facial stretching, and massage (with they run through insurance!!)
I am willing to even go as far to say that Dr. Rudd and Dr. Christopher DON"T want to see next Thursday. Their increasing popularity makes them very busy. In fact, they have recently purchased and designed a larger space, so that they can treat more patients and offer more services. In the meantime though, they work through their lunch to accommodate patients. I had that happen to me two weeks ago - I watched Dr. Rudd literally eat half of a 6-inch Subway sandwich in one gigantic man-bite so that he could give me the time and treatment I needed.
Dr. Christopher is an Ironman finisher, and Dr.Rudd is a lifelong runner (in his heyday, he even beat an elite track star! She was a girl, but that is aside the point). The point is that they understand how it important it is to feel good and empathize with their patients. Dealing with scoliosis my entire life has led me into the doors of many chiropractors. Some where good, some were bad...but none of them left me feeling like they really cared about me. However, that is how I feel when I go to Ahwatukee Spine and Disc. I know that Dr. Christopher and Dr. Rudd want me to be pain free, running fast and feeling my best. In this day and age, it is hard to find people who truly have your best interest, which makes Ahwatukee Spine and Disc a diamond in the rough.
