Life Chiropractic of Silver Spring

I went to a primary care doctor 15 years ago about a problem I was having with numbness in my hands when I wake up in the morning. She told me it was a problem with my neck and gave me muscle relaxers. I didn’t want to be a zombie on drugs all the time, so I decided to just live with it. Fast forward to a couple of months ago when it seemed to be getting worse and I decided to give chiropractic a try. I did some investigation and found Dr. Fullmer at Life Chiropractic. After the first session I was already feeling better, and after a few more treatments, I feel like the problem has been almost completely eliminated. After 15 years! He also told me about a great pillow that I now use to help with my neck.
The experience at Life Chiropractic is terrific. Parking is easy and free. The receptionist and Dr. Fullmer are super friendly. There’s very little wait time for appointments, and when you do wait, often you get to sit in a wonderful massage chair. The treatments are quick and fascinating (I’d never been to a chiropractor before, so it amazed me how he could tell when something in my neck isn’t working right). Because my problem was in my neck, I was a little nervous about having it adjusted, but it turned out to actually feel really good. Like a good knuckle crack. :)

I saw Dr. Fullmer once
I saw him after wasting two months on another chiropractor. On that visit, Dr. Fullmer assessed that I did not have structural problems and did not need chiropractic services. He referred me to a colleague who does soft tissue work/​physical therapy. That referral was very helpful to me. I’m impressed with Dr. Fullmer’s level of professionalism and would recommend him to anyone who does need chiropractic services or evaluation.

The idea of going to a chiropractor made me nervous, but someone suggested I try visiting Dr. Fullmer.
I have been suffering with TMJ pain and jaw popping for years. Dentists, doctors, and orthodontists did not know how to help me other than making expensive mouth pieces which had no guarantee of helping.
I began visiting Dr. Fullmer and was immediately put at ease. I have never been in a medical office with such a pleasant environment. Both Dr. Fullmer and his staff are so kind, patient, and friendly. I don’t feel like a costumer, I feel like a friend.
Dr. Fullmer thoughtfully explained everything he was doing, which made me so comfortable.
I am amazed my jaw is no longer popping. I love going in from time-​to-​time to get everything all straightened out. I leave feeling physically better, and happy from interacting with such pleasant staff.
I think 2 things that turn people off to chiropractors are 1. rapid unexpected adjustments 2. manipulating patients into unneeded, expensive, repeated visits.
I have not had either problem here. Dr. Fullmer always explains the adjustments he’s doing, and it doesn’t hurt. He also has never pressured me to make repeat appointments. When you have an amazing practice, you don’t need to trick people into coming back.
I never have trouble scheduling an appointment, and I’ve never sat around in the waiting room for an extended period of time.
Dr. Fullmer has converted me from being sort of afraid of chiropractors, to recommending his office to all of my friends.
He can also do physical therapy.

I have visited Dr. Fullmer at Life Chiropractic several times now over the past two years. I moved to Silver Spring (from Texas) and wanted to continue my chiropractic treatments so I visited another chiropractor with no luck of pain relief. Dr. Fullmer on the other hand was Awesome! He is great at what he does, he did not try to schedule me for a second quick appointment that I might not need (unlike some other places I have gone), and he did not try to sell me any gadgets or over-​priced quick fix items. All of the appointments I have made had, whether short notice or not, have been excellent — I think the longest I waited was 5 min once, normally I walk up, sign in, and I am seen quickly. I would definitely recommend Dr. Fullmer to anyone who has back/​neck problems.

Dr. Fullmer is definitely the best! Friendly office environment. Did not give me any ridiculous stories about my health to make money out of me.
I threw my back and spent a long 6 hours at the ER for them to only give me a pain killer shot and send me home with a high dosage of pain killer pills. Three days later, still in the same amount of pain as I was the first day.
It was as easy as abc to get an appt with the doc’s office and when I showed up there was next to no wait time. After being in pain for 3 days when I saw the doc and he fixed me, the next day I woke up with less than half the pain i was in the last three days. In 3 sessions, a week later it was like I never had a back problem.
Its definitely a 10 Star from me!
