Dr. Rubina Tahir, DC was born and raised in London, Ontario, Canada. She graduated from New York Chiropractic College (now Northeast College of Health Sciences) in 2005. Since her graduation from Chiropractic College, Tahir has treated thousands of patients in private practice in both Canada and the USA, learning that people want to be heard and understood.
While pursuing her Bachelor’s degree from The University of Western Ontario, immersed in her studies, her mother was diagnosed with cancer. This intensified her views of self-therapy with one goal: to be able to heal people. Her mother had shaped her world with her resilience and a positive mental attitude, now Tahir watched as her mother sought out alternative therapies. She is still alive, having survived cancer five times. Watching her advocate for what mattered most, her health, led Tahir to teach other women how to do the very same thing. Through her many speaking engagements and workshops, Tahir brings knowledge to communities to assist them in making informed health decisions. Her mission now is to educate about natural pain remedies as an alternative to opioids, to curtail the opioid epidemic.
When she is not in her office treating patients, she can be found with her husband and little girl Viyana Laila Ahmad. Family time is a special place of rejuvenation where she enjoys practicing what she preaches. A coffee lover, a hashtag user, a 5K runner and wellness junkie, she is inspired by all the women that have paved the way for her to be confident as she uses her voice to make a positive impact in the world.
In Case You Didn’t Know
Dr. Rubina has hosted and produced over 70 media segments, including interviewing NBA star Isaiah Thomas.
During the 2016 Olympics Dr. Rubina joined Matt Alba on PHL17 Morning News to discuss foods that help reduce muscle pain.
Dr. Rubina has been quoted in Men’s Health Magazine, Cosmopolitan, Bustle, Prevention and Reader’s Digest to name a few.
Dr. Richard Flusty joined The Joint Chiropractic’s team of local healthcare providers in 2023 when he began serving residents in the Detroit area, where he relishes the opportunity to do the work he finds so rewarding.
“One of the best things about working in the chiropractic field is that I help patients deal with health needs naturally, without drugs or surgery,” he says. “I enjoy meeting a diverse group of patients.”
Dr. Rick, as his patients call him, spent nearly his entire life in Michigan. He previously worked in Warren, Farmington Hills, Livonia, Taylor, Grand Blanc, and Bad Axe.
His wife’s name is Wendy and she is a graduate of Boston University. “She is a wonderful mother to our two adult children and grandmother to our grandchildren.”
Dr. Rick has a mocha schnoodle – a schnauzer and poodle mix. He enjoys being a homeowner and working around the house and yard. He also likes to watch college basketball and listen to music, and he has a passion for watches.
After earning an Associate of Applied Science degree in health optics, Dr. Rick graduated from Ferris State University with a Bachelor of Science in marketing. He earned a Doctorate at Life Chiropractic College, now Life University, in Marietta, Ga.
“A neighbor of mine became a chiropractor and told me about how chiropractic helps patients without using drugs or surgery,” he says. “I've seen people, including family members, suffer from various ailments that could have been helped with chiropractic. I felt that this was a career that would be perfect for me.”
Having worked in the field throughout Michigan, Dr. Rick sees how universal the benefits are. “I found that no matter what occupation a person has and which physical ailments they’re suffering from, chiropractic is a solution to be explored,” he says. “I admire The Joint's formula that makes chiropractic affordable and accessible to everyone.”
In Case You Didn’t Know
Dr. Rick always keeps a variety of fruit and cheese on hand. “Especially berries, bananas, and pears.”
If he could gather the ideal dinner guests, Dr. Rick has a famous four in mind. “I can't imagine a better dinner party than reuniting the Beatles – Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and the late John Lennon and George Harrison.”
Some of Dr. Rick’s greatest experiences occurred while traveling. “The coolest was viewing – from afar – the Etna volcano in Italy, and second was taking a helicopter ride over the Alaskan ice glaciers.”
Dr. Rick’s favorite reading material includes Watches: A Guide by Hodinkee. “As a true watch enthusiast, it’s a book I love to read over and over.”
If he wrote his autobiography, he would entitle it The Life and Times of Trusty Flusty. “Trusty Flusty is a nickname I have had my entire life and I often refer to it when people ask me to repeat my unusual last name.”
When he considers a helpful piece of advice he’s received, Dr. Rick remembers his grandfather. “Whenever things tended to get too serious, my Grandpa Flusty always reminded me to keep things simple and make sure you have some fun.”
His advice for others is similar: “Life is too short, so find the good in every situation.”
