For years I have had pain and arthritis in my toe and I began walking in a way my toe wouldn't hurt. Then I had problems with my knee and my hip. I became less active but when I joined "Curves", I found out about Dr. Richards. I had once gone to a chiropractor almost 30 years ago.

After 2 weeks with Dr. Richards my hip and knee were perfect! I use [Foot Levelers custom] orthotics in my shoes and have a pair of [Foot Levelers] Sandal-thotics that I use almost everyday in the summer. My legs and feet no longer hurt or sting at the end of each teaching day.

I am more active now and enjoy walking as exercise. I also appreciate that if I ever need to see Dr. Richards between my monthly appointments, he is aways willing to fit me in for an appointment. He has truly changed my life, and I'm always telling others about him! ¡Gracias, Dr. Richards!

After an on the job injury I didn’t think that I would be able to do the things I enjoyed. After a few visits to Dr. Richards I was back: hiking & climbing and able to perform my job 100%.

I am able to rock and ice climb, hike, and do almost everything I did before my injury.

I had severe pain in my left hip for about six to seven years. I had seen four doctors about it, had it x-rayed, but no one could tell what was wrong or what to do about it except to take 800 mg of Tylenol 2x a day. At a bone density screening, Dr. Richards said he could probably help.

Within a few visits, the pain was gone. I also had pain in my left elbow and both hands from sorting and boxing mail and lifting packages. He helped those areas as well and relieved tension in my shoulders and neck that I didn't even know I had...until it was gone.

My husband has gone to a chiropractor since I have known him. I was always skeptical of the results. Now I know it can help dramatically.

I did not realize that my lower back and hip pain could be improved. I just thought I was stiff. Now I can move without pain at all – even in the morning when I get out of bed. I used to have to hem my paints legs differently! Now I don’t have “uneven” legs!

I feel so much better and can move with no pain at all. Now I can be more active and feel good about exercising.

I had knee surgery Nov. 5, 2004. My recovery time extended longer than I had planned due to pain in my right hip. After a return visit to the doctor, I was told that I possibly would need a hip replacement! My friend Wendy told me that maybe I should consider coming to Dr. Richards because favoring the knee might have caused misalignment in the hips and spine. This had caused the pain. Walking, sitting and standing were almost impossible!

After my first visit – It was instant relief!! Dr. Richards did measurements of my flexibility and explained the importance of proper alignment… After a few weeks I have more flexibility and less pain. But, after the first visit I had instant relief in the hip! Now if there is a replacement, it will be a long time from now I hope!!

I would recommend this office to others ~ I look forward to my visits!! …I left singing praises!!!!!!!
