Chiropractor, Founder and Owner of Kai-Zen Wellness

Dr. Steve Hruby is the founder and visionary of Kai-Zen Wellness Center. He was born and raised with his two brothers in Arizona. His parents still live in Tucson, where his mother is a retired professor of Physics and his father is a Professor of Chemistry at the University of Arizona.

Shortly after graduating from the University of Arizona, Dr. Steve experienced his first chiropractic adjustment when a friend dragged him to a chiropractor because he was suffering from severe low back pain. Within a week his pain was gone. Fortunately for Dr. Steve, the doctor educated him that even though the pain – the effect, or symptom – was gone, the underlying cause of the problem was not fixed. Dr. Steve decided to continue on with treatment in order to address the cause of his symptoms. Soon enough, Dr. Steve experienced a dramatic improvement in his overall health — the allergies that he had suffered since early childhood were mostly resolved, and his energy levels rose significantly. After realizing the benefits of chiropractic extends beyond just alleviating pain, but also helps with sleep disorders, stress and anxiety, headaches and migraines, and ADD/ADHD. It was at this time that Dr Steve dedicated himself to becoming a chiropractor and serving others.

“I am focused on my clients health and wellbeing. What I’m really passionate about is working with my patients to live higher quality lives. When I see my clients have more fun with their family and loved ones, enjoying work more, making more money, all while living life to the fullest; I get goose bumps. Those are the type of results that motivates me to put in all the hard work.”

After graduating Palmer West College of Chiropractic in 2000, Dr. Steve proceeded to open Essential Chiropractic in 2001. After several years, Dr Steve began work on the vision of creating a wellness office that would incorporate more than just chiropractic. This wellness office would not only help people get out of pain, but would provide clients with the tools to achieve their lifestyle and health goals. It would include a multitude of services that promoted the philosophy that “health comes from the inside-out.” Kai-Zen opened its doors in March of 2007.
