20 Years of Chiropractic Healthcare

Fuller Chiropractic opened in Woburn, MA, in April 1993, 20 years ago.

During that time we have helped thousands of babies, children, and adults find relief of and conservative answers to various health problems, and many continue with years of wellness chiropractic adjustments.  Read some success stories here.

The most inspiring moments are when someone looks me in the eye and says, “thank you for helping me get my life back,” and, “thank you Dr. Fuller for helping my child become healthy again.”  These wonderful results, often when  chiropractic is used as a last resort, motivate me to continuously sharpen my provider skills.

Chiropractic as a whole has positively changed over the past 20 years.  It is much more widely accepted, and people are learning that Chiropractic Healthcare is much more than neck and back pain relief.  Also, I have communication with many medical physicians, and we refer back and forth as needed.  This is the way it should be.

Thank you all for giving chiropractic a try, and thanks for your many referrals over 20 years.  You have helped Fuller Chiropractic prosper as a health and wellness center.  I will give you my best effort to offer quality chiropractic care, and nutrition, exercise, and supplement advice for another 20 years and beyond.

Yours in Health,

Dr. Scott Fuller, DC

Snow shoveling without injury

Many of you will be shoveling and using snowblowers this weekend.  Before you go out, review my video on how to avoid injury here.

Another way to avoid coming into my office with an Unhappy Back on Monday is to do your spine exercises several times during your shoveling marathon.  Review the stretches here.  Every 30 minutes take a break and do a few spinal twists, side bends, and an extension stretch.  When you come in for a break, lie down and do a dozen (or more) knee rolls and a couple knees to chest.  At the end of the day double up on the number of stretches; for example, try 20-25 knee rolls each side.  Don’t forget to do the stretches casually and in your pain free zone, as the video instructs!

This video has 2 bonus stretches at the end; cat stretch and child’s pose, here.

Remember, go slow, take breaks to do the Fuller Five stretches (plus the bonus 2), and keep your Happy Back!

Flu Shot?

The mass media coverage of flu shots has been generally disappointing and biased, not providing the public balanced information. You hear about the possible benefits of flu shots, but rarely do you hear about potential side effects, including injuries and deaths. You can search for injuries and deaths here.  You also don’t hear about the most important things you should do to fortify your defenses against the flu (see below).

First, I recommend watching this video from Barbara Loe Fisher from the National Vaccine Information Center, NVIC.org. It is titled “Influenza Deaths: The Hype vs. The Evidence.”

Next, read the newsletters on my website here and here, titled “The Flu, Chiropractic, and Flu Shots,” and “Swine Flu Vaccine.”

Last, strengthen your immune system with these simple steps:

1. Eat a healthy, high vegetable, low sugar, no processed food diet 

2. Continue with wellness Chiropractic care (the newsletters above tell you why) 

3. Get regular, and enough, rest      

4. Aim for daily exercise, 20-30 minutes a day 

5. Take immune system supporting supplements including fish oil, antioxidants, vitamin D, and probiotics.

6. Reduce stress

It is helpful to reduce your exposure to sick people, but near impossible to avoid all exposure.  However, the healthier you are, the chance of you becoming ill may be much lower even if exposed.

ObamaCare or RomneyCare: which is best for your health?

Answer: Neither!

Neither plan will improve your health.  

Neither plan will make a significant shift from the current “Disease Care” system to a “Health Care” system.  A Health Care system spends most of its time and resources on promoting and supporting health and wellness and disease prevention, not waiting for you to become ill before intervening.

Neither plan will make a significant dent in skyrocketing Disease Care costs (now $3 Trillion/year), because there is not enough disease prevention.

Is your body rusting?

Free radicals are substances which cause things in your body to rust, just like this car!  Free radicals come from byproducts of metabolism, environmental toxins, poor diet, lack of exercise, stress, and so on.  They rust and damage your cells, tissues, and organs, causing premature aging.  You can neutralize some free radicals by increasing your “antioxidants.”  Free radicals cause rust, and antioxidants help prevent rust.

Smart, Healthy Children

We all want our children to grow and develop to their full potential.  My new video titled “Smart, Healthy Children” discusses how you can help your children get and stay healthy, assist their brains to develop properly, and avoid obesity and learning issues.  Subjects such as food, exercise, video screens, and supplements are covered. 

The video “Smart, Healthy Children” is on my youtube page here:

Should you buy organic produce?

Let a third grader show you why buying organic produce (and meat and eggs) is worth the extra cost.

Thanks to Dr. Mercola for making us aware of this video.

Remember, organic vegetables and meat are cheaper than chemo.
