Meet The Doctors
Dr. John McDonald D.C., was born and raised in Roscoe, Illinois. He did his undergraduate studies at Rock Valley College and University of Iowa. He attended Palmer College of Chiropractic and graduated in 1985 with his Chiropractic degree as well as a degree in sports Chiropractic.
Upon receiving his Doctor of Chiropractic degree, Dr. John McDonald, started practicing family chiropractic in Rockton, Illinois for his Brother-in- law. He then went on to open his own practice in Loves Park, Illinois 1 year later. Dr. McDonald moved to Arizona in 2011 and began practicing Chiropractic in Chandler. In 2015 he started working for The Joint in Scottsdale and then later in Queen Creek. One thing he learned is to serve all types of people and cases, including migraine relief, sciatica pain, neck pain, and lower back pain through the use of manual manipulation. He has been involved in family chiropractic for more than 30 years. He later opened his own Joint in July of 2018 in Casa Grande.
Dr. McDonald says the best thing about being a chiropractor is being able to help others with relief and wellness.
Dr. McDonald lives in Chandler with his fiancé Erin and her son Dylan. He has a daughter Demi and grandson Brooks who live in Alabama. In his spare time, he enjoys tennis, golf, pickle ball and spending time with his family at home.
In Case You Didn’t Know
The one thing in Dr. McDonald’s refrigerator that he can’t do without is blueberries for his breakfast. He also has a basenji chihuahua named Callie.
Dr. Tom Fulcher joined the family of The Joint Chiropractic in 2019 with his arrival at the Glen Carbon clinic location. A product of Danville Junior College, he received his doctor of chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic, where he received a chiropractic certification in spinal trauma.” He is also a Fellow of the American Back Society.
“The best thing about being in the chiropractic field is the ability to help people regain and maintain their health throughout their lifetime,” Dr. Tom says. “The other thing I love is the opportunity to get to know so many of the people in the community.”
Dr. Tom spent his early years in New York in a family whose travels were determined by his father’s role with the Apollo space program. They lived in Swarthmore, Pa., in the 1960s before moving to Illinois.
He moved to Davenport, Iowa, to start chiropractic college at Palmer College in January 1976, and moved back to Quincy, Ill., in 1980. Four years later, he moved to Washington, D.C., where he practiced for seven years. In 1991, he moved to Springfield, Ill., and has practiced there ever since; he currently maintains a part-time practice there.
In his spare time, Dr. Tom enjoys singing. “I am part of a karaoke group in Springfield that meets every Tuesday night,” he says. “I prefer to sing Elvis and Barry Manilow music, and once a year, I sing at Graceland during Elvis Week.”
Dr. Tom knew early on what he wanted to do. His father was a regular chiropractic patient as a result of an accident he had as a truck driver who hauled cars. “He hurt his back badly when he was loading a VW Beetle onto a car carrier in a snowstorm and it slipped off the top of the trailer,” he says. Through his father’s chiropractors, Dr. Tom was introduced to chiropractic, and afterward structured the rest of his high school and junior college curriculum toward getting into Palmer College.
Dr. Tom likes working at The Joint Chiropractic because it fits very closely with his core values: “It is a low-cost cash practice and allows people access to chiropractic who would be financially unable otherwise.”
In Case You Didn’t Know
If Dr. Tom could bring together any four people from history, he would love to gather around an open fire on the backyard patio. “I would like to meet Elvis Presley,” he says. “I grew up listening to him and singing his music; his music is fun and it makes me happy. I would also include Troy Gentry of the country music duo Montgomery Gentry; he was a fine man who I used to hang out with in Memphis until his tragic death. It would be fun to pick the brain of Dr. BJ Palmer, the developer of chiropractic. Finally, I would include the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, which was started by the heavy metal group Savatage; the lead singer was a patient of mine in Washington, D.C.”
Dr. Tom’s passion for singing led to one of the most interesting things he has done.
“I guess the coolest thing I ever did was sing at Graceland,” he says. “I get to hang out with people from all over the world who appreciate Elvis, and share each other’s interpretation of Elvis’ music. It’s an awesome camaraderie.”
