About Me:
Dr. Amy Rudder is a native of Decherd, Tennessee and a 1990 graduate of Franklin County High School. She attended the University of Alabama where she marched in the Million Dollar Band and earned her degree in music education. After graduation she moved to St. Mary’s Georgia where she taught elementary school music for eight years. While in Georgia she earned a master’s degree in education. After the completion of that degree program she attended massage therapy school and earned her license as an LMT in Florida. She began working in the office of her chiropractor, Dr. Ed Smith, in the afternoons and the rest, as they say, is history! Dr. Smith encouraged her to pursue a career in chiropractic by posing a very simply question, “Amy, why aren’t you the doctor?”. Dr. Rudder went home and started researching chiropractic schools and soon decided she would head off to Davenport, Iowa to the Fountainhead of Chiropractic. She earned her Doctor of Chiropractic degree in October of 2006. She has been back home and serving the community since 2008. Dr. Rudder now resides in Moore County with her husband, Craig, on his family farm on the Elk River. The Syler 7 is a century farm that has been in the Syler family for four generations. Together, Dr. Amy and Craig are keeping the tradition alive by raising cattle, keeping bees and taking care of the land. In her spare time Dr. Rudder enjoys canning and preserving vegetables from the garden and all things kitchen related! She also enjoys quiet time by the river and a great cup of coffee on the back porch.
