Dr. Kathleen Fusco offers quality, affordable healthcare. She is a full spine osseous adjuster. She does deep tissue myofascial release/trigger point therapy and some nutritional consulting. Dr. Fusco’s trigger point therapy has been consistently described for the last 14 years by her patients as "what has been missing in my chiropractic care" with other chiropractors.

Dr. Fusco’s office is unique in that patients do not need a referral, insurance or an appointment. She is also available weekends…and does house calls for established patients. The only thing required to be a patient in Dr. Fusco’s office is the desire to be well through chiropractic.

Dr. Fusco’s office is accessible to out-of-state travelers. She is conveniently located at the gateway to the Adirondacks. All traffic heading into the park from NY State Route 8 has to turn right at her office. All traffic leaving the park from NY Route 8 stops right in front of her office. She is accessible via snowmobile and horseback as well as car. She has a parking lot to accommodate tractor trailers.

Dr. Fusco chose to be a chiropractor in part due to her upbringing. She was raised by Italian immigrants. Her grandmother has a healer. As Dr. Fusco state "her grandmother knew all the folk remedies and used to keep us healthy with garlic, chamomile tea and whatever else.... I grew up believing drugs were for only really sick people". Dr. Fusco knew she was going to be a doctor... she just did not know what kind of doctor did not give out drugs and she did not want to cut people in surgery. She was 9 years old and quite puzzled with what she was going to do with her life and in trying to figure out what kind of doctor she would be. One day a classmate brought her father in for show and tell. He was a chiropractor. He brought in a model spine and told us the chiropractic story. She sat there in awe during his presentation. That was it! She knew from that moment on she was going to be a chiropractor. She is now living the dream of a nine year old!

Dr. Fusco is a gentle, caring and highly experienced chiropractor. She has over 14 years of experience in treating patients with chronic or acute back, neck, shoulder, sciatic nerve and extremity pain. As a chiropractor, she believes as her grandmother did in natural healing; getting to the source of the problem and helping the body to self-correct. She makes a conscious effort to explain things completely, to ensure her patients understand why she does what she does and are comfortable with her treatment.

I have been to several area chiropractors and was grateful to find Kathleen. I love the convenience and affordability. Kathleen has also been the only chiropractor thus far who has been able to completely adjust my spine painlessly and each time I see her. I hope she continues practicing here for many years to come.
