Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - Sure, the Old Town Farmers Market-Tianguis Cultural is loaded with an abundance of can't-miss 'make it, bake it, grow it' products, but did you know that they also have some good-for-you personal services?

If your body is aching for an "ahh" kind of chiropractic treatment, then you'll love the talent and expertise of American-trained and board certified Dr. Erik Fulfer.

Meet Erik Fulfer, DC

Dr. Fulfer is the proud owner and practitioner of Bahia Chiropractic & American Chiropractic. He started his professional journey by following in the footsteps of his grandfather, a World War II veteran-turned-chiropractor.

Fulfer enlisted in the U.S. Military and served four years with the 82nd Airborne Division and the 508th Airborne Battalion. He was honorably discharged from the U.S. Army in 1994. Then, like his grandfather who attended chiropractic school in the 1950s, Fulfer went on to complete his science-based undergraduate studies in order to attend the largest chiropractic institution in the country at the time. Fulfer graduated from Life University School of Chiropractic in March 2000 and successfully passed all four parts of the National Board of Chiropractic Exams as well as the physical therapist exams.

In the following nine years, Dr. Fulfer applied every bit of his training to helping patients reclaim their health and vitality in his practice in Atlanta, Georgia, serving as Associate DC, Clinic Director and owner.

Big Dreams in Mexico

Although Dr. Fulfer was fulfilling his life's passion in the U.S., he dreamt of practicing chiropractic care in Mexico. He shared this dream with his wife, Michelle, and their daughter, Sofia. It took them three years, but they finally arrived to the Banderas Bay area in 2010.

Same Day, On-Site Chiropractic Care

In 2011, Dr. Fulfer joined over 80 vendors at the Vallarta's favorite weekend attraction: the OTFM-TC. His mission? To share his passion for good health and over 15 years of experience with international visitors. He set up a chiropractic table under a shaded tent and happily treated market goers to highly effective on-site treatments.

Today, Dr. Fulfer continues to help thousands enjoy their stay in sunny Mexico without pain and discomfort. And now you, too, can experience what it means to be free from troublesome symptoms. Simply stop by Dr. Fulfer's tent in Lazaro Cárdenas Park this Saturday to make a same-day appointment.
