On chiropractic: I recommend chiropractic to many of my patients. I feel that chiropractic and acupuncture are a wonderful combination. I have found that patients that have chiropractic adjustments tend to be healthier, are easier to treat, and respond quicker to acupuncture.

Before I became a part of this wonderful Chiropractic team, I started out as a patient here at Fountain Valley Chiropractic.  During the year 2005, I began to get migraines. These migraines would leave me incapacitated for two or three days at a time.  The only thing I could do was crawl into bed and try to sleep them off.  I had tried many different types of medications to help relieve my migraines, but none had helped. I was at a loss; that is until someone suggested that I see a chiropractor.  I had seen a chiropractor in the past for care after an auto accident when I was about 8 years old.  I had remembered that it had helped me then, so I decided to give it a try.

In January of 2006 I became a practice member at FVC.  I was really surprised how welcoming and friendly the office staff was.  Once I started to get regular adjustments, not only did the frequency of my migraines lessen, but the intensity of them (when I did get one) was greatly lessened as well.  In March of that same year, I became a part of the FVC team.

After about year or so of seeing the magic that chiropractic care possessed, I decided that I wanted to become a chiropractor myself. As part of my job, I take practice members back into the adjustment rooms and also help them make appointments for their future adjustments.  Seeing the difference that just one visit could make, from the time I brought them back to the time that I checked them out, greatly inspired me.  The doctors here are very knowledgeable and they give me the foundation that I need to pursue a life that can make a huge impact on other lives.  I really enjoy being a part of this practice and hope to someday come back as a Doctor of Chiropractic to help guide people on their journey to a healthier life.

I have been a team member at Fountain Valley Chiropractic for a year now.  I love working here because of the amazing staff and all of our wonderful practice members who come in.  When I was hired, I was originally going to school to become a physical therapist and was learning so much about how our bodies work.  Even though I am now going to school to become a teacher, I still love working in an environment where I can learn things everyday that interest me.

All of the doctors here have also been so helpful at treating my chronic low back pain that I have had for years and has now subsided.  This is the first job that I have had that I can truly say I enjoy coming to work.  I enjoy seeing our practice members come in and achieve incredible results.  The work that the doctors and the rest of the staff do here is amazing and I enjoy every minute of it.

Chiropractic Assistant

I have had the great privilege to experience chiropractic through my junior high and high school years.  I am an avid sports player and chiropractic has helped keep my body functioning well. It has also allowed me to continue to enjoy life's fun activities.

I graduated medical assisting school in 2009 and found that I prefer the natural aspect of the medical world. My training and life experience has naturally led me to work in a chiropractic office.  Being able to help our practice members on the road to recovery or to improve their health and quality of life has been a great experience.  I have always loved caring for people and helping them stay healthy, so that they can do the activities that they love.  I am so blessed to work in a great office with such caring doctors and fellow staff.
