Essential Chiropractic

Fantastic experience: I love Dr. Fontenot and Rhonda! And I HIGHLY recommend trying the red light therapy. I TORE my hamstring and for 2 years I was in pain and could hardly walk some days. 6 months (3 times per month) of light therapy and I am healed! Amen! Truly- now it only hurts after a weight workout- but it is muscle soreness. Get your muscles, tendons, everything some oxygenated cells! Thank you Essential Chiropractic!

Fantastic experience: In only three short treatments, Dr. Fontenot 100 percent cured my shoulder problems I had been experiencing for six months.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a patient of chiropractic care for at least 28 years. I was looking for something close to home after peaking in my physical rehab but not having complete relief. I really wanted to go back to chiropractic care but struggled with the “group” therapies that weren’t really personalized. I am so glad I reached out to Essential chiropractic. The clinic is conveniently located in Folsom. Rhonda got me in the day I called. Dr. Fontenot was prompt and such a gentleman. He did a very thorough examination and then began my treatment. By the third visit, I was no longer in the complete misery that I had been experiencing since summer. By the fourth visit, I noticed my energy had changed. The fatigue was gone. My posture had improved. I was not feeling weighed down. He even did some dry needling that Essentially made the pain go away in a weekend. The atmosphere is quiet and calming. Rhonda and Dr. Fontenot are always friendly and accommodating. They are prompt. Dr. Fontenot educates you while doing his magic. I am happy and full of energy because my pain has improved so much. I highly recommend Essential Chiropractic.

Fantastic experience: I was recently traveling to Louisiana from Florida. The plane ride caused me to have terrible neck and back pain! On my way to a friend’s house on the Northshore, I stopped by Essential Chiropractic! I had never been to the clinic before but called anyways. I was able to get a same-day appointment! Dr. Fontenot and his staff were amazing!! I left feeling better than ever. I wish I lived locally so I could go back frequently! Next time I’m in town, I’ll be making an appointment!

Fantastic experience: I am a fairly new patient of Dr. Fontenot's. I came to the office when a close friend referred me to his practice after I was in a horrible car accident. It was hands down the BEST decision for my post-accident recovery! I am SO glad that I did! A month later, I feel better than I have in years! Dr. Fontenot works very individually with all of his patients. He never rushes and concentrates on whatever symptoms are bothering you at each visit. He is so knowledgeable and truly works on your total health. His staff is absolutely wonderful! They are always very kind, accommodating and helpful. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone!!!‎
