  Dr. Jacob Fletcher

  Dr. Jacob Fletcher is fulfilling a lifetime dream of helping people of all ages live life to the fullest. He routinely saw a chiropractor at a young age as a part of being raised in a healthy family environment. As a child he did not fully understand the power of chiropractic but simply knew he liked how he felt after being adjusted and knew he wanted to be around chiropractic forever. Dr. Jacob was a healthy child. He did not experience many of the childhood health issues such as ear infections or earaches, upper respiratory infections, and other common childhood illnesses. He did not receive the normal routine vaccinations. The only prescription medication he has ever taken was when he was covered head to toe in poison ivy as a child. Dr. Jacob has always known health to be a natural expression of life. This is why he started studying human function as a teenager. His concept of the innate healing ability of the body made sense to Dr. Jacob at a young age so the decision to be a chiropractor was an obvious next step for him. He obtained a Bachelor of Science, with honors, in Exercise Science from the University of Illinois. Immediately following his undergraduate studies, he attended Palmer College of Chiropractic, where he graduated Magna Cum Laude. He has completed a post graduate certification as a Certified Chiropractic Extremity Practitioner, CCEP. This specialization focuses on helping people with issues of the jaw, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, ankles and feet. He also continues to take ongoing education on nutrition, exercise, and delivering the best possible care to clients. Dr. Jacob loves practicing as a chiropractor in Lakewood and helping people from newborns to active adults. As an active participant in the Colorado lifestyle he understands firsthand how important chiropractic care is for the active Colorado resident. Dr. Jacob meets people where they are related to their health goals. Some people are looking to regain their health by first getting out of pain. Some are looking to recover from a sports or weekend warrior injury. Others need his help in recovering from injuries related to an auto accident. Some simply just want to be able to live the typical active Colorado lifestyle as long as possible. Whatever your goals, Dr. Jacob can help you reach them and express better health. In addition to his passion for chiropractic family wellness, Dr. Jacob enjoys downhill skiing, soccer, fishing, hiking and all those things associated with the great outdoors of Colorado!

  Dr. Maura Fletcher

  Many chiropractors say, “chiropractic chose me, I did not choose chiropractic.” This is absolutely true for Dr. Maura Fletcher. Prior to becoming a chiropractor, Dr. Maura had a successful career in sales and project management in corporate America. She enjoyed her career but always felt that she was put on this earth for something else. Her physical pain lead her to her new career in chiropractic family health and to living the chiropractic lifestyle. Dr. Maura experienced left hip pain and severe headaches for over three years. This was extremely frustrating for her because she was very fit and active and did not understand why the pain persisted. For three years, Dr. Maura tried to figure out the cause of her pain. She tried everything from going to a general practitioner, physical therapists, orthopedic surgeon, psychologist, neurologists and the list goes on. As a last effort, she saw a chiropractor. She was amazed by the relief she felt from the chiropractic adjustment. Ten months after her first adjustment she enrolled in chiropractic college, convinced of the power of chiropractic and the need to share it with others. Helping create healthy families is Dr. Maura’s passion. She lives this passion through her work as a family wellness chiropractor. Dr. Maura specializes in prenatal and pediatric chiropractic care. As a female chiropractor, she is passionate about helping pregnant women experience the pregnancy and birth that they desire. As a mother, Dr. Maura knows firsthand how essential chiropractic care is to a healthy pregnancy, easier delivery and healthy baby. Dr. Maura has always been passionate about the healthy development of children. She believes that all people have the right to be healthy, especially children. It is her opinion that it is a lot easier to grow a healthy child than repair a broken adult. Pediatric chiropractic care is an essential ingredient in growing healthy children. It is this belief that drives her to help the west Denver community realize and understand the need to have their children checked for vertebral subluxations in order to live life to the fullest. Dr. Maura graduated Magna Cum Laude from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. Dr. Maura is Certified from the Academy of Family Practice. This certification involves a rigorous curriculum which offers specific techniques and protocols of care for children and pregnant women. Dr. Maura is certified in the Webster Technique. This technique is a specific sacral analysis and adjustment that is used throughout pregnancy to detect and correct sacral imbalance and optimize pelvic neuro-biomechanics in the mother. Outside of the practice, Dr. Maura enjoys downhill skiing, yoga, the mountains, learning about fertility, pregnancy and studying the mind-body connection.
