Chiropractic is a form of alternative medicine that mainly deals with the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine. A chiropractor uses spinal adjustments, manipulation, and other techniques to manage patients’ health concerns, including neck pain, back pain, headaches, vertigo and a long list of other ailments and conditions. They aim to improve patients’ functionality and quality of life by properly aligning the body’s musculoskeletal structure and enabling the body to heal itself naturally, without the use of medication or surgery. 

A Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician (CCSP) has completed a minimum of 100 hours of post doctoral education in specialized sports medicine topics and must pass a board examination. Upon reaching either the CCSP or DACBSP level, the sports chiropractor remains abreast of the latest research and treatment innovations through continuing education and field experience. The American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians (ACBSP) offers an annual conference to update the doctors on the latest research and techniques.

On a more personal note, Dr. Fisher inspires her own two kids to live a healthy active life and give back and that donating time is more valuable than just money.
