 The Doctors Dr. Brian Fuller recognizes that no two people are alike and, as a result, no two injuries are alike. Chiropractic care is the best place to start your health care journey. "My mission is to understand the depth and degree of your injury and then facilitate healing. A common sense approach is utilized to provide you with practical advice and customized individual care combining the best of massage therapy and chiropractic treatments." Dr. Fuller's Experience A third-generation chiropractor, Dr. Fuller has witnessed firsthand the effectiveness of chiropractic treatment. His work with athletes, dancers, and TBI (traumatic brain injury) patients has reinforced its need and value. Dr. Fuller earned his Bachelor's degree from the University of New Hampshire in Resource Economics and Environmental Conservation. He was selected out of thousands of applicants to become a Peace Corps Volunteer serving a full tour in Bolivia, South America at a school for handicapped children. He then obtained additional degrees in Human Anatomy and his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from National University of Health Sciences, Lombard, IL. After being selected to be the pathology fellow working under Vrajlal Vyas MD, Dr. Fuller attended Stanford University as the first chiropractor from Illinois to perform a rotation in the Emergency Department as a student. He currently is a Masters candidate in Clinical Nutrition at the University of Bridgeport, CT. In addition to all forms of chiropractic care, Dr. Fuller is also a certified Applied Kinesiologist and Lecturer on Nutrition and Biochemistry at the National University of Health Sciences. Because he recognizes the need for integration with internal medicine, Dr. Fuller is a staff physician with Complementary Care Chicago at the Rush Hospital Professional Office building. Dr. Fuller refers patients to the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, located one block from Urban Oasis, Rush Center for Rehabilitation, Northwestern, and Complementary Care Chicago. Dr. Fuller is proud to support Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, River North Dance Company, Melissa Thodos, and the Chicago Dance/ Performing arts community. He is a member of IADMS (International Association for Dance Medicine and Science).  Frank Balester, MSOM Unique patterns of disharmony exist in every individual.
