Welcome to Fuller Chiropractic
Clinic
At Fuller Chiropractic Clinic, we strive to provide quality chiropractic
care utilizing some of the most advanced methods of treatment and imaging
in the chiropractic profession as well as time tested methods employed
by the chiropractic profession for over a century. Our goal is to accomplish
this in a timely and cost effective manner.
What
is Chiropractic?
According to The Association of Chiropractic Colleges, "Chiropractic
is a health care discipline which emphasizes the inherent recuperative
power of the body to heal itself without the use of drugs and surgery.
The practice of chiropractic focuses on the relationship between structure
(primarily the spine) and function (as coordinated by the nervous system)
and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of
health."
Doctors of Chiropractic are licensed to
treat, fix, heal and care for damaged muscles, ligaments, nerves,
discs and vertebra.
What
Can I Expect My First Visit?
Dr. Fuller will perform an extensive examination including a complete
patient history, neurological testing, orthopedic testing, range of motion
testing, and x-ray analysis (if needed) to determine if chiropractic
is indicated. Using a number of unique and highly refined skills, Dr.
Fuller will check the patient's spine for any misalignments, fixations
or other abnormalities. If misalignment or fixations are detected, Dr.
Fuller will generally apply a gentle force in a corrective manner to
the affected spinal area. If it is determined that chiropractic care
is not indicated in a particular case, the patient is then referred to
the appropriate medical specialist.
Dr.
Fuller also utilizes Low Laser Light Therapy (See Erchonia
Laser website link for more information), Physical Therapy,
Nutritional Supplementation and Exercise Rehabilitation where applicable
to improve the patient’s treatment results.
How Long Will it Take to
Get Better?
There are many factors that contribute to the healing phase for each
patient. They include the severity of condition;
the length of time the patient has had the condition; the patient’s
age; and/or any previous injuries the patient may have suffered. After
a full history, examination and any diagnostic testing is completed,
Dr. Fuller will discuss with the patient his findings and give an estimated
treatment plan. At Fuller Chiropractic Clinic, we understand how busy
our patient’s lives are so we do our best to get quicker results
which helps our patients get back to the business of living.
