There is not enough space for me to write all the things I think and feel about Dr. Bulcher. He is very literally saving my life.Like many people who see NUCCA doctors, I was desperate and at the end of my rope. 32 years I’ve had progressively worse pain, debilitating head aches, TMJ, eye sight issues, Crohn’s disease, hip problems, anxiety and depression…the list goes on… I had tried everything.I was starting the entire process of x-rays, PT, pain meds, referrals, insurance, lather -rinse -repeat when I simply quit. I was done.I had the 3-day old copies of the new x-rays from my orthopedic “specialist” on my desk and I just cried. The notes on them said (in Layman’s Terms) that my forward curving neck and side tilt was because of the way I was standing during the x-ray and NOT a point of concern. I typed in all the medical terms the doctor wrote and included all my symptoms (that I was told were NOT related) and something amazing happened…I found NUCCA.I learned everything I could in a 24-hour crash course via google. It sounded nuts. It sounded way to good to be true. It sounded like a lifeline. Why had NO ONE ever told me about this? No dentist, no bone doctor, no surgeon, no chiropractor… no one. I was on the ledge and not one person said a word. I have asked friends and family and other doctors about NUCCA since, it’s like they are all as oblivious as I was.I emailed Turning Point Spinal Care set up a time for a phone call. We talked about some of the issues I had and some of the things he could offer. One of those things was blunt honesty.. with a dash of hope, and that was enough.Dr. Bulcher is one of the closest NUCCA doctors to my home. I live in the northeast corner of Wyoming and from my door to his is a 4-hour drive one way. He was very helpful and scheduled me in for a WHOLE day to go over absolutely everything with me and I could avoid the aggravation and expense of 2 separate “first visits”. I arrived at Turning Point and found front door parking to a nice office. A woman, alone, in a place I never visit kind of had me worried about big scary parking lots and of course I scared myself the night before my appointment *insert Lifetime drama movie music*. From the moment I walked in I felt safe and well cared for. Through every part of the process from the technical tests to the personable and relatable way symptoms and history was discussed, I was made to feel comfortable and very well educated. The final part of day one was an adjustment. The big schabang. I hardly felt it. From there I was sent to a nice low-lit room with big cushy recliners to relax. That is surprisingly a BIG part of the process. Dark, reclined, eyes closed, NO phone, NO reading, NO talking… it was my favorite. With Covid, they had to close the room, but exceptions were made to make sure I was ok for my drive. Dr. Bulcher is concerned with your well being above all else. Then came my millions of annoying questions and he answered every single one I had with language I could understand and with a passion for his practice (and NUCCA in general) that I left that first day a little achy, extremely tired, and excited for future visits. On the 4-hour trip from Fort Collins to my tiny town I noticed a few things. I could see more clearly than ever. My ears were not ringing. My head didn’t hurt. That was the first time in YEARS I didn’t have a headache.I am still in the beginning months of my treatment plan, and I have had so many noticeable and measurable changes that I can’t help but tell EVERYONE about my experience. I have so much enthusiasm about my treatment! Every new reprieve from pain spills over emotionally and has dramatically improved my quality of life. My entire family can see the difference. When I say it is night and day difference (even though I still have bad days) I mean it. I leave my job at noon, and I make this 8-hour round trip drive in one day EVERY WEEK to see Dr. Bulcher. He is way more than worth it. I will forever be thankful.

I had been seeing a NUCCA chiropractor for many years and with great success, but unfortunately they relocated to another state several years ago. As time passed, my pain increased. A day without a headache was rare, if ever. I tried a regular bone cracker, and a massage therapist, with no results - just continued increase in pain. Finally last December I did a Google search for NUCCA chiropractors and I found Dr Bulchers Turning Point Spinal Care. I immediately scheduled a consultation appointment. It is a two plus hour drive to Fort Collins, so getting there once a week or every other week can be challenging - especially in winter- but I knew it would be well worth the effort and cost. Within two days after my first adjustment I felt like a completely different person! I started waking up refreshed every morning, back, neck, shoulder pain was all but completely gone. I have had two minor headaches since my first adjustment five months ago! I cannot say enough good things about Dr Bulcher and the NUCCA care he provides. It is literally a life changer! Thank you Dr Pete!

Dr. Bulcher is truly professional and helped me get ‘back on my feet’ again. I had worked with Dr. Bulcher for a brief few months and had to move out of the area. During my time under care with Dr. Bulcher I found the Nucca process to be both life changing (in a great way) and beneficial for my overall health.Dr. Bulcher is a dedicated, professional, and courteous Nucca practitioner who always made me feel welcomed and provided informative options for me to discuss my health and wellbeing with in a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere.I am truly grateful to have shared time and care with Dr. Bulcher and know that He can most likely help you unlock your spine and start living and enjoying life!Thanks again Dr. Bulcher, truly much appreciated!

Dr. Bulcher is thorough, gentle, and meticulous in the diagnostic tests and cervical adjustments he gives. His office is a quiet, stylish oasis with the latest in digital x-ray and other equipment. After just one month of treatment, Im already experiencing improvement in several nagging symptoms Ive been having for the last few years. Thank you, Dr. B! Im looking forward to continuing improvement!

Dr. Bulcher has been working with me since October 2019. During my consultation appointment he asked me what my top priority from treatment would be, and my answer was to have my excessively crooked neck be more resilient, therefore allowing me to do more of the things I enjoy in life. That is exactly what he has given me!!! I can do all the fun things I had to stop doing in fear myneck would lock up...I havent locked up once since being under his care. I can ride onan extreme 1 hour 4x4 dirt road, just to jump off of a 10 foot rock into glacier water, and then swim 100 yards to climb back out. Each of those movements include many domestic chore movements that used to scare me, because by the next morning I would be unable to move. Scrubbing those shower walls is no longer an intimidation!...thanks to Dr. Bulchers compassionate, gentle, expertise of working with even the most challenged of neck issues, I dont live in fear anymore!...Live strong, live healthy and have an adventure!!!...

These days its hard to find a Dr. who really cares and wants to help you. A Dr. that treats you like more than just a number. He listens and he explains. He is honest and easy to talk to, and will tell you if there is ever a point in time where he may not be able to help you further. I have just started my journey under Dr Bulchers care and have hopes that he can help me!

I moved from Denver to Fort Collins two years ago and was looking for an upper cervical chiropractor. I was thrilled to find Dr. Bulcher. His technique is completely pain free and focuses on alignment to optimize whole body health. No twisting or wrenching--just gentle pressure. I cannot begin to express how much his service has helped me and my overall health and well being. Being pain free is a wonderful experience and I owe it to Dr. Bulcher.

A referral by my massage therapist brought me to Dr. Bulchers office. I had been without regular chiropractic care for several months. I was experiencing a variety of symptoms including neck, back and knee pain, leg cramping and vertigo. My first visit left me hopeful that Dr. Bulcher could help me get back to feeling like myself again. Dr. Bulcher is an excellent communicator and good listener. He is compassionate and genuinely concerned about my well-being. After only a month of care, I have less pain, fewer leg spasms and my vertigo is improving. I feel stronger overall thanks to Dr Bulcher.

I have been seeing Dr Bulcher for almost 2 years. I was in a car accident and was getting regular chiro care it was working but not as well as I had hoped. I was taking 800 mg of ibuprofen 4 times a day for over a year for pain, headaches, and jaw pain. I was lucky enough to have found Dr Bulcher because after our 1st appointment I didnt have to take any pain meds for 2 days and my jaw pain was completely gone. I have since moved 6 hours from Fort Collins and I still travel to see him. I greatly appreciate his technique and professionalism. I would take a 6 hour plane ride, if need be, to come back here.

I was looking for a doctor who practiced upper cervical chiropractic care and found Dr. Bulcher from a google search. I was looking for a chiropractor to help with some ear issues I was having. One of my ears had a constant full feeling (like something was stuffed in there) and my upper back was chronically tense. I had been to a different chiropractor years before for the same problem but wanted to find someone who works specifically on the atlas and other upper bones in the spine. I have been going for a couple of months and have felt a significant improvement. My ear and neck issues have subsided and I am feeling like new. If you are not a fan of chiropractors who crack and harshly manipulate the spine then this is the place for you!

Dr Bulcher is so helpful, professional, thorough, and kind. I came in with some vertigo issues that had been off and on for many months. I also had intense hip pain that had plagued me for a couple years. For my vertigo, I had seen everyone possible and no one had ideas or a diagnosis for me. For my hip, I went to other chiropractors and also did rossiter as well. I have been seeing Dr. Bulcher for over 2 months now and my hip is feeling better than it has in a long time and my vertigo is smoothing out. The adjustment is so gentle - in fact you might feel like it is not enough - but GIVE IT TIME.

Highly recommend. Im in my early 20s and have struggled with neck and back issues since my early teens. Beyond the physical discomfort of stiffness, immobility, and severe headaches, Ive also dealt with fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, problems with balance, and similar unpleasant things. An upper cervical-focused form of chiropractic treatment, and NUCCA in particular in my case, has been the first method of correction and healing that has gone beyond temporary relief of symptoms. Conventional wellness medicine, with its shortsighted focus on drugs and surgeries, I outright distrust in most cases; even gentler, alternative methods take time and understanding to find the most helpful path. For myself personally, upper cervical chiropractic has been many great strides in the right direction.Dr. Bulcher is a kind and knowledgeable practitioner, more meticulous and patient in his approach than (frankly) any other chiropractor Ive been to over the years. He clearly has a deep understanding of the biomechanics of the body, and is very open and honest about sharing his thought process and answering questions Ive had. In my observation, he cares deeply about helping his patients to the very best of his ability, and is truly invested in their long term healing.Ive been visiting Turning Point Spinal Care once a week for over several months now and I can honestly say that that time spent is among the best investments Ive made in my health, ever. I am much more agile and confident in my physical abilities, and my balance and coordination have improved drastically. My mental state has improved as well, with my emotions being much more positive and my thoughts more efficient and lucid. My body is still working through some of the more deep-seated injuries and imbalances in neck and shoulders, but I can feel the restructuring and changes taking place over time. Rather than simply feeling better at a temporary level, I can sense an actual, permanent healing taking place. The hope and encouragement this has given me is tremendous, after quite a few years of coping as best I could without being able to find any actual clear answers, and wondering if Id ever reach a point where I felt in order again.Again, I highly recommend Dr. Bulcher and Turning Point Spinal Care! =)

I have searched for decades to find relief for lower back pain and migraines and have received the greatest consistent relief from Dr. Bulcher. I went to another chiropractor that focused on adjustment of the Atlas and found some relief but hit a plateau. I feel Ive made continuing progress with Dr. Bulcher. He is thorough and concerned for each patient as an individual. I highly recommend him for relief of many persistent and nagging health issues.

I cant thank Dr. Bulcher enough for the excellent care hes given me for the past year. Among other NUCCA trained chiropractors Ive encountered in the past ten years, Dr. Bulcher is truly exceptional in terms of his standard of care, attention to my questions and concerns, and (most importantly) successful and effective treatment. I recommend him to anyone who is looking for a highly trained chiropractic doctor whose treatment methods are gentle and effective, and who listens closely to patient concerns and addresses them in a caring and respectful manner.

Doctor Peter is our son but that does not take away from the fact that he was able to help me when no other doctor was, even M.D.s. I was having frequent episodes of irregular heart beats. (I wore a monitor which showed I was having over 4000 extra beats over a 24 hour period.) Dr. Peter found a spot on my back which, when pressed on stoped the problem for months. So now when it starts I go to our local NUCCA doctor and have him do the same thing and I am good to go. We live in WIsconsin so I cant go to Peter but sure wish I could. Peter also fixed a bad shoulder which had bothered me for some time. Fort Collins is lucky to have Dr. Peter in their area.

My experience at Turning Point Spinal Care has been a positive one. Dr. Bulcher is very dedicated to seeing results and I trust him with my care. He is professional, friendly and he explains things well. The atmosphere is welcoming, relaxing and I always look forward to my appointments. Most importantly I am feeling better and I continue to heal. After my first adjustment I experienced huge improvements to my balance problems after suffering for almost a year despite seeing several other providers. I am so glad I found Dr. Bulcher and I highly recommend him.

If you are struggling with pain, I highly recommend Dr. Bulcher. When I first saw him, I had been in spinal rehab for months—nothing seemed to be giving me a pain reduction—until I saw Dr. Bulcher. I walked in the day of my first appointment in a lot of pain, I walked out smiling, in tears from how much of a difference he made in just one visit for me. He is a miracle worker—I am forever grateful to him and his specialty. He is so knowledgeable and he truly has a special gift in this field. I will recommend him to everyone I may meet in the future struggling with pain.

I have been struggling with vertigo, trigeminal nueralgia & neck pain for a very long time. I’m really impressed with the thoroughness and the care that comes along with it. We are very lucky to have this technique available to us in Fort Collins and I highly recommend looking into it if you feel like I can help you!

14 years of hot yoga have helped me heal and repair an even older injury. Yet everytime I started class there was always the struggle to align and follow thru with true healing. I would leave class aligned and feeling well, yet the old aches would creep back . I compare my first alignment to be as good as my toughest yoga class! Exhausting! Since that adjustment I have enjoyed a constant level of comfort and ease I wasnt sure existed! Working, resting, yoga, sleeping have all been enhanced with a new level of healing!The follow up appointments have helped me recognize when the alignment has not held and given me confidence that Im still healing! Thank you Peter for all that you do!

After years of dealing with severe pain & swelling on the right side of the base of my skull, I was impressed with the idea of re-balancing my axis. I had spent lots of $ and time at chiropractors offices and managed treatment plans to no avail. One session with Dr Bulcher has solved my pain and swelling issues in my neck and left me feeling so much better overall. I can now move my head around without the crunching, grinding feeling & sounds coming from the base of my skull! My follow-up appointments have shown that the correction has held with no need for additional corrections to the axis. I am amazed and very pleased with the NUCCA treatment! I had not ever heard of it prior to meeting Dr Bulcher but have been telling many people about it and him!

My neck pain recovery has been nothing short of a miracle. I started treatment on Dec. 22, 2017 and am now on maintenance visits every couple of weeks! I am out of pain, no headaches, no tension neck spams.My story is I’m 59 years old, and have had chronic neck pain, headaches, and upper body muscle spasms for over 30 years, having sustained three rear-end car accidents as a young professional. I own my own business as a real estate agent, which has taken its toll on my neck and shoulder region for the last 12 years. Using ice packs, massage and general (pop and crack) chiropractors, I got some relief.However, now since Dr. Bulcher has been correcting the alignment of my head on my shoulders in a very gentle fashion, he’s actually corrected the problem. This small bone that cradles my head on top of my spine has been adjusted for the first time, allowing my entire upper body to relax and be in position for healing. I no longer reach for ice, but can jump right in and get my computer work done. Gone are the days where my shoulder muscles are screaming for me to stop driving. I’ve been re-aligned by Dr. Bulcher in a short period, and am totally pain free. I believed Dr. Bulcher that he could help me, but never imagined that his care could rid me of chronic pain. I feel like a new me! Cathy

I first went to see Dr. Bulcher because I was experiencing chronic numbness in the IT band of my left thigh, chronic inflammation in my left knee (after exercise) and chronic plantar fasciitis in my right foot. He took very precise X-rays and showed me how my spine was crooked and my pelvis was rotated. It was very obvious in the X-rays, but the average person would never notice by looking at me. He showed me how my head sitting on my neck had some tilt and rotation that was probably causing the misalignment below. He proceeded to measure and correct my posture in subsequent appointments and my plantar fasciitis gradually went away. The numbness has gone away and the knee inflammation is much better so far. I probably have permanent damage in my knee, so my chronic knee inflammation may never fully go away, though--but, at least, my left leg isnt carrying 15lbs more than my right anymore!Once I started seeing tangible results, I brought my teen-aged daughter in for an exam because shes had chronic neck pain for the last couple years and intermittent lower back and shoulder pain. Wed taken her to another chiropractor and tried a few things, but nothing seemed to help. After walking out of her first adjustment with Dr. Bulcher, her pain had all but disappeared! We were surprised how quickly and significantly her pain went down. The intermittent back and shoulder pain hasnt returned since the first visit, and now Dr. Bulcher is just fine-tuning to completely remove the last remnants of her neck pain. She had grown accustomed to the pain and now cant imagine going back to how it was before. Thank you Dr. Bulcher!
