Why Is Our Approach Different?
We are trained in Chiropractic Orthopedics and excel in the healing of the spine and extremities. We have practiced for over 25 years with Orthopedists and Podiatrists in the same building. We help all patient's conditions if it is related to the musculoskeletal system, not just necks and lower backs.
The initial new patient visit involves obtaining a detailed Health History, a Review of current complaints, and a thorough Orthopedic, Neurological, and Musculoskeletal examination of the areas of concern. It usually takes 30-45 minutes. It can be sped up by doing New Patient Forms online.
The Focus of Chiropractic Care
The most common complaint in a chiropractic office is lower back pain. Dr. Etheredge and Dr. Fahscholtz evaluate the back for asymmetry. With experience, it is relatively easy for our doctors to spot the area of concern. Usually, we see leg length differential, pelvic imbalance, tightness and spasms of paraspinal muscles, and tenderness over the vertebral facet joints. We use our eyes and hands to palpate (feel) the areas in the vertebra that need care. That area is then addressed with our hands or an instrument called an IQ Impulse tool. These methods are safe, effective, and usually pain-free.
What Conditions Can Chiropractic Help with?
Chiropractic is not limited to people suffering from back pain in Fruitland Park. There is a myriad of different conditions that chiropractic care has been shown to be helpful for. At Etheredge Chiropractic - Fruitland Park, we have a large number of patients that see us as a part of their wellness lifestyle. Receiving regular chiropractic adjustments can help the body function at its optimal potential.
Neck pain is a very common complaint in our office. Dr.Etheredge is renowned locally for his effectiveness with aftermath of neck issues. Manipulation is a skilled art and is learned over many years of practice. Many chiropractors never quite master this skill and have to use alternative approaches to manipulation. Once again, the neck presents with asymmetry and is easily diagnosed. We see patients in all stages of degeneration in their cervical spine. Don’t believe anyone that says your neck should not be helped by a chiropractor. You just need the right chiropractor.
Tension headaches are the most common type of headache found in the general population. These are often brought on by tight muscles, stress and poor posture, all of which are effective with a high rate of success using chiropractic care.

"Everybody was very nice, very professional and explained everything to you. Dr. Etheridge is just fantastic. Been in pain for years, and I can honestly say I've never felt so good. Definately recommend to anybody looking for good chiropractor. Excellent care."
