Unlike chiropractors who primarily address immediate pain, Life Chiropractic emphasizes the structure of the spine, aligning it to optimize nerve function. This meticulous approach, akin to orthodontics for the spine, aims to create stability and long-term functionality. They utilize advanced technology and thorough examinations, including digital thermography and X-rays, to assess and monitor patient progress.
Their philosophy centers on the understanding that the nervous system, controlled by the brain and spinal cord, governs the entire body. Misalignments can interfere with this vital communication network, leading to a range of health problems. Life Chiropractic’s mission is to restore this connection, promoting healthier minds, bodies, and spirits.
Driven by compassion and a commitment to patient education, Life Chiropractic empowers individuals to take control of their health. They believe that true wellness is achieved through a comprehensive understanding of the body’s intricate systems and a dedication to corrective care, rather than temporary relief. In Ahwatukee, Life Chiropractic stands as a beacon of lasting health and vitality, realigning lives with science and nature.
Meet the Team
M. James Dionisio, D.C.
CHIROPRACTOR / OWNER
Dr. Dionisio (or Dr. D as he is affectionately known to his patients) hails from Long Island where, at 15 years old, he was riding with his mom when he heard a small voice telling him he should become a chiropractor. And that is exactly what he did.
After high school, Dr. D. attended Saint Joseph’s College to complete the prerequisites for Chiropractic School at Life University in Georgia.
Upon graduation, he moved to Arizona and opened his first practice. His current practice is located in the Ahwatukee area of Phoenix.
Dr. D enjoys the same active lifestyle he prescribes for his patients, enjoying cycling and team sports as well as travel. He also exercises his brain by reading. Ask him about his favorite band!
Mike Burandt, D.C.
CHIROPRACTOR
He has always had a passion for helping others, and after having a life changing experience through the power of chiropractic, he made the decision that this was the best way for him to help the most people. He pursued his chiropractic education at Parker University in Dallas, Texas. Upon graduation, he moved back to Arizona with his family and is honored to serve the Ahwatukee community in health.
Dr. Mike enjoys the same active lifestyle that he prescribes for his patients, enjoying hiking with his lovely wife and playing sports with his wife and daughters. He has a love for all animals and a soft spot for dogs. Ask him about his favorite book!
