BackFit Health + Spine recognizes the professional background of Laura Fletcher, family nurse practitioner at its Surprise location, who brings military service and functional medicine training to the integrative clinic. This recognition highlights individual practitioner histories in multidisciplinary healthcare amid discussions of diverse training in wellness fields.
Data from health analyses show that varied practitioner experiences enhance treatment strategies, with reports noting connections between specialized certifications and patient care methods. Factors such as military deployment and functional medicine study influence perspectives, leading facilities to present staff backgrounds that demonstrate commitment to community health. Providers have adapted by documenting these profiles to provide context for their combined models, aligning with patterns in medical documentation.
Laura Fletcher served as a Major in the United States Air Force for eight years, stationed in Washington DC, England, and Arizona, with deployment to East Africa in a joint task force. She graduated from the University of South Alabama with double master’s degrees in emergency medicine and family medicine, board-certified in both. She studied functional medicine at The Institute of Functional Medicine for holistic and preventative care. Passionate about the body’s healing ability, she focuses on preventative health after 18 years observing impacts of unhealthy foods, medications, and stress. Her goal is to create environments for natural thriving. Outside work, she enjoys hiking, strength training, running, and time with family and friends.
The Surprise clinic offers chiropractic care, physical medicine and therapeutic procedures, pain management, allergy treatment, weight loss programs, and medical services. Conditions addressed include neck pain, tension headaches, migraines, back pain, muscle spasms, knee pain, bulging discs, herniated discs, scoliosis, temporomandibular joint pain, piriformis syndrome, sciatica, leg length discrepancy, osteoarthritis, facet joint disorders, trigeminal neuralgia, failed surgery syndrome, and arthritis. Treatment methods encompass manual manipulation therapy, activator methods, drop table techniques, functional dry needling, deep ultrasound therapy, electrical stimulation through TENS and PENS units, manual therapy, exercise therapy, massage therapy, physiotherapy, joint injections, trigger point injections, natural hyaluronic acid injections for knee osteoarthritis, and acupuncture.
"Integrated holistic approaches in multidisciplinary settings support comprehensive patient care for chronic and acute conditions," Fletcher said.
The facility's collaborative framework involves chiropractors, physical therapists, and medical professionals working together to develop personalized plans. This setup facilitates assessments that identify root causes of discomfort, enabling interventions that promote nervous system health and reduce inflammation.
Dr. Greg Vogel, principal at BackFit Health + Spine, earned a Bachelor of Science in Physiology from University of Arizona and a Doctorate of Chiropractic from Life University in 2001. Influenced by family experiences with chiropractic care, Vogel provides accident and injury care, chiropractic adjustments, diagnostic X-rays, manipulation under anesthesia, pain management, spinal decompression, sports injuries, and trigger point injections. He participated in a chiropractic mission trip to Cuzco, Peru. "Evidence-based chiropractic practices contribute to patient recovery from musculoskeletal issues," Vogel said.
The clinic incorporates noninvasive therapies to manage discomfort and prevent future issues. For knee pain, thorough diagnosis leads to chiropractic adjustments to related areas, customized support braces, and natural injections to alleviate symptoms without invasive procedures. Allergy treatment involves identification of triggers and tailored management plans with medication and lifestyle adjustments. Weight loss programs include micronutrient testing, vitamin injections, customized exercise plans, and medical interventions to address underlying factors.
National health surveys demonstrate increasing reliance on multidisciplinary care for chronic conditions, with chiropractic and medical services playing roles in pain management. Systematic reviews find spinal manipulative therapy equivalent to other interventions for low back pain reduction and functional improvement. In Arizona, similar shifts occur, with residents accessing combined services for routine health challenges.
Patient care at BackFit Health + Spine emphasizes a team approach to wellness, integrating various fields to address comprehensive health elements. This has aided outcomes for those with persistent pain, allowing better functionality through specific measures.
The focus on Fletcher's background aligns with explorations of practitioner origins in healthcare, where diverse journeys provide insights into service delivery. Her progression from military service to functional medicine practice exemplifies elements observed in established organizations.
BackFit Health + Spine, established in 2002 as a family-founded integrative medical clinic, combines chiropractic, medical, physical therapy, and wellness services. With locations throughout Arizona, the organization assists individuals in managing pain and enhancing health through licensed professionals and practices based on physiology and exercise science.
