I love getting adjusted here. I'm a retired chiropractor. Highly recommend. Gentle care.

Went in because of great reviews but the person at the front desk was just rude. It was like she didn't have the time to talk and find out what I needed. read more

Once again quality of care wins. Dr. Peterman fixed me again. After slacking off and not going to his office for my routine work. I decided to use someone right around the corner from my house. It was alright treatment but nothing compares to the skilled hand at Activate Chiropractic. There are reasons why certain skill trades whether it's a doctor, plumber, or just a damn good parent succeed and others fall short. Thank you to the Doc and lovely wife Renee. See you Friday read more

I'll start with the positives. It is a very nice staff & location. The billing process was simple. The not so positives. No staff or other patients were wearing masks. It's a simple precaution that a medical office should be using. The adjustment itself did not do what it needed to do, unfortunately. I have a regular chiropractor who adjusts me very well, unfortunately she's quite a distance away from me. I was looking for a comparable chiropractor at a closer location to me. This was not it. read more

After a recent auto accident, my doctor suggested seeing a chiropractor to reduce some of the soreness I was experiencing. I contacted a few different chiropractors in the area and after speaking on the phone with Renee at Activate, I felt very comfortable booking my appointment. I was not disappointed! From the time I walked into the office to my consultation with Dr. Petermann, I felt very confident that I would receive the best level of care, specially catered to my needs. Dr. Petermann listened carefully to my current issues and concerns and after my first visit, I experienced a reduction in my neck pain by over 60%. I'm looking very forward to my next appointment and can't speak highly enough about this practitioner! read more

I was visiting a Phoenix and slept wrong. The doc was able to see me in a timely manner and was terrific! My neck pain gone before I left the office. Years of shoulder pain GONE. Since I'll be moving to the Phoenix area, I'll be back! read more

I bring my 2 1/2 year old son here. Dr. Peterman is awesome with children. What a great personality he has and my son loves his adjustments. We come every few months to keep my little guy moving correctly and you can't beat $15 a visit. Update: Dr. Peterman and I have recently referred people to one another. I am now even more impressed with his depth of knowledge and level of care he provides. His adjustments are detailed, accurate, incredibly effective, and without those massive body crunches of others in the profession. I can't recommend him highly enough! read more

Came for my second appointment and arrived on time. Waited 30 minutes and still had 3 people in front of me. I told them I had to leave because I would be late to work. The receptionist said "sorry everyone got here around the same time ". What? They had appointments all at the same time as me. Really? My time is valuable as well. Will not be returning!! read more

We recently moved to Phoenix and after pulling something in my back bending over, I knew I needed a new Chiropractor. I checked reviews, ask my California Chiropractor for recommendations and ended up at Dr. Petermann's Fuhr Chiropractic. I have used chiropractic occasionally over the years because a good one can get you back on your feet while your traditional doc would have you in bed for three weeks. Dr. Petermann uses and Activator, a device that precisely focuses to point of adjustment and removes the big "wrestling" moves that always made me a bit nervous. I'm not a small guy and the Activator was a revelation compared to traditional adjustments. I received great care from a friendly staff and would give Dr. Petermann my highest recommendation. read more

I have been a patient at Fuhr Chiropractic for 7 years and it has truly change my life. Doctor Petermann is an educated, genuine, and honest doctor whose practice far exceeds any other office I've attended. The staff is friendly and personable. And throughout the years, I only feel better after seeing Doctor Eric. Thanks Doc! read more

I am petrified of chiropractors. But I have suffered back pain for years and the doctor prescribed pain pills which kept me in a fog. The Activator Method is not your typical bone-crushing experience. I was apprehensive on my first visit but once I went through the process, I was really happy about it. Dr. Peterman is a genuine caring person and I appreciate what he does to make me pain free. If anyone has a fear of chiropractice methods, this is the solution. I feel great and no more pain pills! read more

Dr P is the man! I couldn't move my hand! I went to an md for a complete exam and he said to go see a neurologist. So, I scheduled one that was a week out and decided to go to the chiro first. Thank you Jesus that I did! After Dr P found a pinched nerve in my neck, did his magic, and I'm one happy camper!! I should have gone there first. Thanks Doc read more

Looking for a great chiropractor? You really must go to Dr. Petermann, of Fuhr Chiropractic Clinic, in Phoenix. He takes time finding out what ails you and fixes it. He also uses the activator which I prefer over hand manipulation and he spent years training other chiropractors how to use it properly. I recommend Dr Petermann and his helpful staff is always so friendly. A+ for all. A pleasure to go. read more

I have been using this clinic for over 20 years. Being active in many different sports and outdoor activities I often have need for a chiropractor. They are always professional, friendly and go out of their way to see me. Even adjusting me on a weekend at the Dr's home a time or two when I'd badly thrown something out. read more

I have been a patient of Dr Petermann for over 20 years. My problems are many RA, polio, compression of L1 / C6-7 and a few other things. This man is amazing. He uses the Activator Method which gives a light tap to the point on your body which he determines by his method. This method is done as you lay face down on his table. It's a quick touch with his hand then the activator on the point of your body which hurts. Then the pain is gone 99% of the time. For me the points are around my spine, neck, hips, feet, hands or whatever. He helps the complete body. I'm happy I found him, he makes my life better. Please try him, you will not regret the visit. read more

Dr. Peterman works wonders with my back and neck. I have been a patient of his for a few years now and will continue to see him for any chiropractic work. I am not big on writing reviews but for years I suffered from bad chiropractors to worse chiropractors. A friend recommended Dr. Peterman and after the first visit, I knew he was the real deal. Thank you for being in business and being there when I need you. read more

Dr. Petermann does a great job for people injured in car accidents. His patients love him and he will take very good care of you!!! Highly recommended!!! read more

As a chiropractor, I have my pick of doctors but I think Dr Eric Peterman is the best around! Whenever I'm in need of an adjustment, I can depend on Eric to get me back to feeling aligned and reducing my pain. I originally met the Dr during a research project years ago, and I have been continually impressed with his knowledge and experience in our field. read more

I walked in with boulder size knots in my shoulder and walked out pain free. Dr. Peterman's chiropractic methods really work. He didn't crack my back. He used an "activator" to apply pressure and kind of thump my back where needed. It gives immediate relief. I agree with the other reviewer. He really does care about you. Treatment is very discounted if you don't have insurance. read more

I moved to Arizona from Michigan a few years ago. In Michigan, I saw a chiropractor who used the Activator method and I really liked that approach to chiropractic care. When I moved to Arizona, I had difficulty finding a chiropractor who used the Activator method. A couple of months ago, a co-worker gave me Dr. Petermann's name and since his office is close to where I work, I decided to give him a try. I am SO HAPPY to have found Dr. Petermann! He uses the Activator and his approach is very similar to my doctor in Michigan, which is AWESOME! I am very satisfied with him and how he has already helped me. I do not have any serious issues but need to be adjusted from time to time and so far, he had been exactly what I need. I highly recommend him if you prefer a more gentle, but VERY effective, approach to chiropractic care!! read more

Have scheduled appointments with Dr. Petermann regularly for years. As a runner and triathlete, he keeps me fine-tuned for competition. Which is why I can still compete in my 50s! And . . . . he is great at explaining what exactly is wrong and why. He's the best!!! read more

Holy cow. I have so much to say about how amazing Dr. Petermann is. I've never written a review before and feel compelled to do so after what he's done for me and my daughter. I was referred to him by a friend of mine several months ago after telling her about my 9 year old daughter's neck. A yr ago my daughter Lily's neck started making a horrible gravelly sound when she moved her neck from side to side and she felt pain/discomfort in her upper spine and lower neck. She'd tell me, "It hurts but mostly it feels like I need to crack it. It's uncomfortable." I was totally freaked out by the gravelly sound and took her to her pediatrician. Her pediatrician was freaked out by the sound especially since there had been no injury. She had us go get xrays and called Phoenix Children's Hospital and w/in a week Lily had an appt with a Rheumatoid Specialist. Lily moved her head from side to side and the dr. actually gasped and made a crazy face when she heard the noise and said, "In all my years of working with kids I have never heard that sound." She said it's definitely not arthritis and referred me to a pediatric orthopedist. The orthopedist looked at the xrays and listened to the scary neck sound and very nonchalantly said, "It's totally normal. She's growing and her joints are more flexible. There's nothing to be worried about. She'll grow out of it." What I thought was so strange about this was he barely even touched Lily's back or neck. We got through the summer and nothing had changed. I contacted her pediatrician again asking for help since I could no longer accept that this is "normal". It made me so sad seeing my child in pain and discomfort and more than anything, I just knew that gravelly sound wasn't right. So her pediatrician pulled some strings and got an appointment for us to see a Spine specialist at PCH who was highly regarded. I was hopeful he'd figure this out. He spent maybe 4 minutes with us, told me I didn't need to panic, that it's totally normal and that it's similar to when his wife cracks her knuckles, nothing to worry about. Ha! I was ready to cry AND laugh. So it's been 9 months of hell at this point and after seeing every sort of specialist that would've known what was wrong with Lily, my friend refers us to Dr. Petermann. I hadn't gone to a chiro at this point because Lily's my little girl and the scary neck sound made me afraid to have someone go to town on her back and neck with all of the cracking many chiros do. I was a little skeptical about the activator. It looks like a pen that is just being clicked all over the patient. It even makes a fun clicky sound as Dr. Petermann demonstrated. Dr. Petermann spent some time to talking to both me AND Lily and did some weird thing where he has Lily lie flat on her tummy and looks at her feet and has her put her arm behind her back, down by her side, all the while looking at her feet. He seemed like he knew what he was doing and he was actually INTERESTED in helping my child so I felt secure in letting him do what he needed to do. And I could tell Lily was really comfortable with him despite it being a very new experience for her. So he looked at her feet a lot and then started using the activator in a variety of places. It sounded just like someone clicking a pen and Lily said it didn't hurt at all. Something important to mention is (and I'm just now realizing this and ready to cry) Dr. Petermann validated my concerns. He agreed with me that what Lily had been experiencing during the last year was not "normal" and would not go away on it's own. There was a serious misalignment that'd been there for a yr and was going to take some time getting everything back in place and staying put once it was in place. It's been a few months and we're almost there. Adjustments were frequent to start and now Lily sees Dr. Petermann every 2 weeks. Pain is almost completely gone and gravelly sound is now just a light clicking if Lily moves her head in just the right way. Last night Lily asked, "Do I go to Dr. Petermann's tomorrow?" When I said no she said, "Awwww!" I said, "Pretty soon you will be all better and not need to see Dr. Petermann anymore." She actually said, and I am NOT LYING, "I'm going to be sad." That is how much she loves going. Not just because of the relief she feels after the adjustment but because she sees Dr. Petermann as her buddy. He's always listened to her, answered her questions and made her feel safe. Plus he's super funny and she loves that. I've never felt rushed and his rate is surprisingly low. I can't recommend him enough. I had him do some adjustments on my own neck, hip and back and had fantastic results with that clicky activator thingy. He's a caring person, he knows what he's doing and what he's doing works. My little girl and I are proof of that. read more
