Introducing Fountain Valley Chiropractor Dr. Elisha Van Deusen

Initially, I was sceptical; I really didn't know very much about the healing powers of chiropractic. Chronic headaches and neck pain were a big part of my life in high school and college, and despite chronic muscle relaxers, the problems kept coming back.

I had heard some "miracle" stories about chiropractic adjustments permanently getting rid of headaches, but I didn't really believe them - until I tried chiropractic care for myself. My chiropractor had testimonials of dozens of satisfied practice members on the wall - people, who in some cases, had tried everything else to no avail. Chiropractic was their last hope and it worked! It performed miracles without any drugs and surgery to boot. That's when I decided to become a chiropractor. To help people increase their health naturally and attain a better quality of life - that's what I wanted to do.

Dr. Elisha Van Deusen

After earning my Bachelor's in Biology from the University of California, Irvine, I attended Southern California University of Health Sciences for my chiropractic training. The careful detail of anatomy and neurology classes honed my clinical skills with greater certainty. Skillful instruction with different techniques gave me healing hands. Finally, numerous wonderful patient encounters in clinical practice instilled a caring heart to deliver safe, natural healthcare to people just like you.

Our practice operates to secure better health and wellness for all practice members. We deliver this safe and naturally through chiropractic adjustments that address the cause of the problem, not just the overlying symptoms. True health cannot be found in a pill - it can only come when physical, chemical, and emotional stresses are removed from the nervous system. Then, and only then, can the body begin to heal itself and function the way it was intended. We are partners with our practice members in their care, and our job is to remove the interference that is preventing true healing. There is nothing more gratifying than changing a life of sickness to one of optimal well-being.

One of the unique joys of practice is that I get to work with my wife, Dr. Leslie Van Deusen, also a chiropractor. After meeting in chiropractic college, we knew right away that we were not only a perfect match personally, but that we wanted to share chiropractic with our community together. Together with our young daughter, Vanessa, we enjoy hiking, spending time with family, exercising at the gym, and traveling.

Regular chiropractic care is of the utmost priority, just like regular exercise and a healthy diet. Getting adjusted at least once a week and a good balance of cardiovascular training and strength conditioning keep me in the shape I need to be in to deliver optimum healthcare to my practice members. Besides keeping to a well-balanced diet, I supplement my fruits and vegetables with Juice Plus. Good, natural health is also a part of our daughter's life; she has been receiving regular adjustments from the time she was born and has not been vaccinated. Good health is a family affair.

Thank you for visiting our site! I look forward to meeting you personally and learning how we may be of service to you. Please give our office a call, or email me using the link below and let's arrange a time to explore your options.

Dr. Leslie Asks some important questions of interest to Fountain Valley residents - Chiropractor Fountain Valley Dr. Leslie Asks...

Are chiropractors just concerned with the spine?
Our interest in the spine is because it covers the major communications conduit between your brain and your body. As a Fountain Valley chiropractor my job is to locate areas (usually along the spine) that interfere with proper nerve communications to and from your brain. Chiropractic adjustments help restore nervous system integrity. In this way, chiropractic care can affect the function of your entire body.
Is average normal or is normal average?
Every chiropractor knows that so-called "normal" is merely an average. What's normal for you may not be normal for anyone else. So the chiropractic approach to better health is to tailor our approach to the unique needs of each of our Fountain Valley patients.
