Dr. Blankenbaker is excellent - a true healer and a brilliant clinician. I had undergone back surgery in the past, and as an MD, I thought I was being given good advice, but the reality is it did more harm than good. Despite that, Dr. B has helped me get stronger and have less pain in both my back and neck. I wish I had known him prior to having any surgery, as I would be that much better. He is kind, considerate, and has a very nice manner and truly wants to see his patients get better. He has additionally helped my wife's back as well as healing up from a serious femur fracture. I would recommend him wholeheartedly. You won't be disappointed. Mike Reisman, MD read more

The whole experience is so amazing. They have all the right equipment and they really do care about their patients !!

There are not many doctors that I can say I enjoy going to. But Dr. Thomas Blakenbaker is one of my favorite doctors to see! He is always supportive, positive, a great listener, and always puts the patients wellbeing first. He helped me through a tough time in my life after my car accident. He was the one to help me heal with his cervical decompression, adjustments, laser, MedX strengthening, and PEMF. He is truly life changing and I am forever grateful to have met Dr. Blakenbaker, Emily, and the emotional support dogs Rocky & Toby. 100/10 recommend! read more

They are God sends miracles sent from heaven a d I can not thank them enough I send everyone I know to them for any back and neck issues thanks dr b read more

I'm not always so quick to write reviews but I had to come write one after my experience with Dr. B. I've been dealing with chronic neck pain for 1-2 years and never did anything about it. I always had the "it'll heal itself" mindset. It never healed itself. I finally decided to do something about it! After reading tons of reviews about Spine & Disc, I felt comfortable enough to go see him. I'm not a big fan of traditional doctors and medicine, as I always feel like it's a money grab and my problems don't get solved. This was the complete opposite experience! First off meeting with Dr. B was great, almost immediately he had a hunch of what was wrong in my neck. He sent me down the street to get x-rays and told me to come back immediately after to review them together, what a quick turnaround time! After looking at the x-rays together, he confirmed what he thought was the case and came up with a quick action plan to help me get better. In that same day on the first visit, he did a few exercises to loosen my neck then used the Y strap on my neck as I had a subluxated C1 vertebrae. Almost immediately the tension and pressure in my neck that I had been feeling for close to two years was gone. I have a range of motion that I didn't have and I woke up today, the following day, feeling amazing. I had almost gotten to a point where I just accepted this was life moving forward, but now I have a renewed energy and happiness because I no longer am dealing with constant chronic neck pain. If you're having pain in your neck or back and have been putting it off, pull your big boy/girl pants up and go see Dr. B. You will walk out of there feeling much better! THANK YOU DR. B!!!!! read more

WOW!!! What an amazing experience. Dr. B and staff are so very nice and sympathetic to pain. I was having lower back pain that showed up out of the blue. And...right before a 2 week vacation. Dr. B was able to pull me back together so that I could have the greatest trip ever. No twisting like a pretzel, straight up spine management. I am so thankful. read more

I fell in December and fractured a vertebra. I thought I had just thrown my back out and went to Spine and disk. Doc took one look at my back and sent me to the emergency room. Doctor Blackenbaker is a genius and took good care of me. I completely trust his judgement. He uses the most modern equipment. John Horton read more

Very friendly, and NO stringing you along or into anything that won't be helpful to relieve your pain. Very informative in providing insight, not just diagnosing and treating, but teaching you about your body and/or the source of your pain. read more

Could not move my neck. They got me right in. DR Blankenbaker took really good care of me. I left 45 minutes later with full range of motion in my neck. Head ache gone. So grateful. Thank you. Highly recommend. read more

Dr. Blankenbaker and Emily really care about their patients and helping them heal. I have found the VAX-D to be so valuable to healing my spine, as well as adjustments. Other chiropractors just adjust you mainly and send you on your way, but Dr. B has other modalities to help heal. Adjustments alone do not help me, but combined with the Vax-D, and massage, I have better results. I highly recommend Spine and Disc. read more

Dr. Blankenbaker and his wife Emily are two of the nicest people you'll ever meet. More importantly, he is a great doctor. They both took good care of me during my visits, going out of their way to make sure I was comfortable. Their doggies, Toby and Rocky, always put a smile on my face. I highly recommend them to anyone who is in pain, your quality of life will be improved! read more

I truly love Dr. Tom and his staff. 33 years old at the time, I shuffled into his building walking like a 80 year old man with scoliosis. They started a work up and I was shocked that this is not a rip and grip chiropractic. Suffering from a service connected injury from the military, I almost gave up the idea living a life that is not riddled with daily pain. Once I started with my treatment, I was able to regain my quality of life 20 years prior. One of the greatest things I have ever done was walk into their doors. Thank you Dr. Tom. I love you and your hands are truly blessed! read more

I've been to several chiropractors over the years and I have to say this doctor is top notch. Dr. Blankenbaker has an amazing facility offering various types of physical therapy as well as chiropractic care, plus they also have an amazing line of weight management supplements. He and his manager Emily have amazing business ethics, flexible hours and are always accommodating. You definitely aren't just another number when getting care at Spine and Disc! Thank you for making a difference in my daily life! read more

Spine & Disc - Dr . Blankenbaker - Physical Therapy Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

See all

This is not just some chiropractor that cracks ya and shoots you out the door. Dr Blankenbaker actually cares, finds out the problem, sends you for xray or MRI as needed. He treats the problem not the symptom. This place is more a physical therapy office, lots of great equipment. I don't even live close, yet I make the drive. read more

Spine and Disc. No reason to go anywhere else! 2nd time I've had a serious back issue and Dr. Blankenbaker got me back my feet in short order. I can't thank him and Emily enough. Their high level of care and professionalism is something I feel is just not found these days. In the past, I've been to other chiropractors and my primary physician for recurring sciatica and had little to no success. My most recent back issue came about lifting a very heavy object which resulted in ruptured disk (L5). MRI confirmed it. I could barely move and had a trip planned overseas the same week of my injury. Went to my local doctor who prescribed pills and an epidural which I considered given the short amount of time and considered cancelling my trip. I decided to have him take a look as I am pill adverse and went thru an abbreviated treatment with him the same day which got me back on my feet and ultimately made my trip happen. I rarely give feedback but surely warranted.. read more

Great people friendly experienced and really do care about their patience. Love the puppies too week trained been coming here for a while now her help me & my son with a back problem after our car accident. I'm doing the diet program lost over 23 lbs. Very happy with results. read more

Comfortable workouts, stretching and Chiropractic care by a quite competent Dr. Tom .

I got into a car accident with my girlfriend and ended up getting injured pretty significantly to where it was tough to move my neck and back. I researched a few chiropractor's in my area and came across Spine and disc and set up a consultation with Dr. Blankenbaker and in my first appointment we talked about what was wrong with me and he was very knowledgeable and explained things very easily for me to understand. He has a lot of state of the art equipment which helped me in a very quick and speedy recovery. I highly recommend Dr. Thomas E. Blankenbaker for any spinal and neck injuries! read more

Dr. B is amazing when it comes to your spine is knows the best. He was able to help me after my dramatic accident. I highly recommend Dr. Blankenbaker. read more

After just one afternoon at Dr Blankenbaker my lower back pain was entirely solved. Never thought it would ever be better but in just one session, my back has never been better. Dr. Blankenbaker, thank you!!!!! read more

UPDATE: It has now been over 10 months since I finished my treatments with Dr. B and I still feel fantastic! I would even say my back feels better than it has in 20 years, and I am able to do things I never thought I would be doing again (hiking, dirt biking). I am still SO happy that I found this doctor, the only words I can use to accurately describe my experience here is LIFE CHANGING! Thank you so much Dr. B! read more

All I can say is WOW. I really did a number on my back and could barley stand up straight. I found this place in yelp and walked in. They put me on a traction table and a few other things and I felt a change right away. It's been 4 days since my injury and 2 days since my treatment and my back is 95 better. I would highly recommend these guys!!! Knowledgable friendly and great equipment. If I could give the 10 stars I would. From Leon. read more

I have gone to chiropractors for years, in large part for my neck. It just seemed to be a vicious cycle - chiro adjustment - pain - chiro adjustment - so I was open to finding something more long lasting. And I found it! Dr. Blankenbaker uses traction (it's not at all as scary as it sounds) to release the tension in my neck and back and realign my spine. I have found it lasts far longer than the adjustments I was getting from other doctors. It's not a permanent solution for me, but it has worked quite well to relieve my pain and offers more stability than the quick adjustments have. Please know, he does offer adjustments as well, but for me, I'm benefitting from the traction. Plus, Dr. B's and Emily's caring and patient demeanor is wonderful. read more

My husband walked in without an appointment. He couldn't even stand straight and was in so much pain. The doctor and staff were so friendly and it was a great experience. He walked out standing tall and in no pain. Definitely will be going back and telling others about this location. read more

If I could I would give Dr. B 20 stars. He and his wife are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. I had a ruptured disc and a herniated disc which was pinching a nerve. Could not walk ,stand sit or lie down for more than a minute or two. I was in constant horrible pain. With Dr B's skills and knowledge with treatment I'm totally free of pain. If you have back or neck pain do yourself a great favor and go see Dr.B. love these guys. read more

Wow! 100 stars please. I don't know where to start. I lost contact with my first Chiropractor years ago and have not found one worthy until now. Tom is not your typical "Chiropractor" that you would see on tv trying to get rich off your insurance, nor is he a franchise. It's just him and his wife, Emily ( I believe that's her name because I have the attention span of a gnat ). Anyway, he is a true Healer. I called yesterday from the number off his site, they accept walk-ins, so i showed up today at 8 am when they open, and he gave me the initial consult. Shortly after, his wife came in to ask more details about my health and habits, then we got started. First, Tom asked me what time I had to leave so he could do what he needed to do in that time frame which was awesome in itself, then as he put me on his state of the art equipment for decompressing my neck and back (you really need to see him for this alone!!! I'm not kidding) He would come back and check up on me and get into regular conversation. After that amazing experience, he adjusted me the way I described how my first Chiropractor used to adjust me (which shows Tom has awesome listening skills). I felt like a million bucks after seeing him, he and his wife never once tried selling me a "Wellness Plan", and I will go back once a week every week as long as he'll see me to strengthen my back. I only live a mile and a half for his place, but I would drive 100 miles. Now, here's where the magic happened... I came home feeling new again, cut the grass, and had pure yellow sweat stain my T shirt! He DETOXIFIED me!!! I wish our world has more of these people. Just WOW!!! read more

For years I went to see Chiropractors and it never really helped me. After I found this place everything changed. They have helped my back so much. Great people - Great help! read more

Dr Thomas Blankenbaker, here forward known as Dr B, had come into my life when I was the most desperate and injured beyond repair. Cervical: 2 bulges along with 3 herniations, 1 thoracic herniation a shoulder injury and an elbow injury. I was seeing other doctors that "couldn't or wouldn't "acknowledge the amount of pain I was in and failed to diagnose any symptoms. So now my PCP gives me anti-depressants, you're out there folks and you know what I am talking about. I could not find anyone who would understand or assist me and then I found Dr B. He immediately knew what symptoms were caused by what and then some and immediately got to work fixing the pain. His experience, vast knowledge of the body and compassion were endless. He writes extremely detailed reports, which are needed when you are in an accident. He is the doctor whom I call my doctor because he gets things done and understands PAIN! When you see him his reports are done the following day...yes, the following day and if you need anything or need another doctor for something he will find you one. He conducts cervical, thoracic and lumbar traction, Med X, adjustments, a buzzing instrument is also used for your back to get the blood flowing (don't know the formal name) and then relaxes you with a warm water bed that feels like heaven. He is all seeing and all knowing and has been the best doctor and truly cares about his patients, that's right, every single one of them gets HIS time and attention. He has over 40yrs of experience in his field and has not missed an opportunity to stay up to date. I am still looking for a doctor of this caliber in other aspects of my care but there are none, enough said. I have been a patient of his since March of 2017 and he came right in time. His wife Emily also works in the office and if you call you will get either he or his wife on the phone and if you need something, they do it NOW, not in 2 weeks. I can't believe I found them, I am truly fortunate. Dr B and Emily, you are truly a role model for other offices out there and from the bottom of my heart, Thank You! read more
