When I first went to see Dr. Richards it was because I wanted to get my little 3 month old boy adjusted. I absolutely had no idea what it meant to get adjusted but as we talked a little bit I also asked him about my own back and neck problems. I've been suffering from neck pains and the resulting headaches for years and also developed back pains since I have had my baby. Doctors always told me to "keep in a strait position" to solve my problems, but whenever I tried I was only able to keep in a straight position for a couple of minutes. Dr. Richards finally offered to adjust me too and without any expectations I consented.

After Dr. Richards adjusted me I was so surprised because I felt an improvement nearly immediately. Suddenly I found it much easier to get in a straight position. It nearly came naturally and without any effort. Now I realized that I've been kind of "blocked" all these years! It's impressive how neck and back problems and headaches improved since that. To be without headaches and back pains is so important while picking up my baby so many times a day!

Thank you Dr. Richards! I definitely recommend everybody to get checked by him. You might suffer from something you didn't even realize!

Working, taking care of lawns, is hard on my body. Everything, from un-level ground, heavy lawn mower, leaf blowers and weed-eater, pull on all parts of my body. My lower back, neck, knees, elbows, feet and hands have been hurt. Dr. Richards has worked on all these parts of my body. I come once a month for maintenance.

I am [now] able to work and sleep without my hands going to sleep. My lower back is lots better, any discomfort is from pulled muscles now.

Dr. Richards takes time to listen to you each visit.

I was having severe neck pain and severe numbness in my left side. My internist sent me to a neuro-surgeon and I was told that outside of surgery, there was nothing that could help me. I decided to call Dr. Richards and in 2 treatments the difference in my pain level and mobility was drastically improved.

[Chiropractic] keeps me able to use my body and be able to do all the things I enjoy.

Dr. Richards is very thorough in his diagnosing your problems. He is a good listener and very helpful to any input you might have.

Dr. Richards has helped my neck and back problems and has also given me exercises to help strengthen my back.

I would recommend his services.

For the last 13 years of my life at least, I have suffered from severe headaches and neck pain that at times kept me from even turning my neck in a certain direction. I've looked everywhere for an answer to my problem but nothing I tried seemed to work. I was at my wit's end until I found Richards Family Chiropractic. I feel like a new woman! For the first time in over a decade I do not suffer regularly from incapacitating headaches and my pain is finally gone. I can't thank Dr. Richards enough for finally helping me feel like I don't have to live with pain and go through life never knowing when it will hit.

Finally I can go to work and live my life without feeling as if I'm moving through a constant fog of pain. I don't get up in the mornings wondering if this will be another long day of constant headaches and a sore upper neck. I can now get the things that I need to do accomplished without every move I make being one of agony! It may seem as if I am exaggerating but I honestly haven't been this happy in a long, long time...

I've already told my friends, family and co-workers.

Many years ago I was in a rear-end collision. For years I suffered from neck pain, left arm going to sleep and tingling. Dr. Richards made it so much better right away and with monthly visits to re-adjust everything, I can sleep comfortably, and can use my left arm as usual!

Over the months I have had lower back pain and the beginning of a frozen shoulder, and with every visit I feel better, and continue to improve with his guidance, patience, and expertise.

Dr. Richards, his office, staff and facilities is professional, organized, and he always makes me feel so much better physically and mentally.

He’s great - my favorite -Thanks, David!

Three years ago I was having neck and back pain. I decided to try chiropractic care – to my amazement I have experienced better [health] along with no neck or back pain. My immune system is now stronger. I do not get sick as much; if I do it doesn’t last as long and not as severe.

[With chiropractic care I have] not as much sickness – stronger immune system – increased energy level.

Installing shutters and wood blinds can be very strenuous and after a couple of hard days filled with back and neck pain it is a real relief to see Dr. Richards! Better than any other doctor I’ve known, he makes the pain stop! I would drive 2 hours if necessary to see Dr. Richards before I would see another doctor.

[Chiropractic has] dramatically improved my range of motion and reduced my daily pain.

Long term discomfort and especially disabling neck pain had limited not only my range of motion, but my self perception and expectation of what was “normal”. Within a very short time, Dr. Richards’ adjustments have allowed me to shift my focus from moving with trepidation to living with renewed energy… A grateful “WOW” to Dr. Richards care.

Chiropractic care has empowered me to breathe deeply and move forward towards physical activity without fear! The relief from chronic pain is wondrous freedom.

I met Dr. Richards through [a health screening at] Curves. I never thought I’d go to a chiropractor, it just seemed crazy, but after the first visit I realized just how real it was that being out of alignment could make your whole body be out of whack! It made my head feel like it was floating instead of weighing 500 pounds on my neck and shoulders. You won't believe how much difference it will make in how you feel until you try it! So try it! You’ll be glad you did.

I was involved in a car accident which left me with strain and tension in my neck, shoulder and lower back. After a year of being stubborn and thinking my aches and pains would heal on their own, I decided to seek out a professional.

I can now work at my computer with less tension and drive my seven hour journey back to Indiana without strain and muscle cramps in my shoulder and lower back.

My neck hasn’t felt so good in months! I’d been “coping” with neck tightness and headaches since early fall, and nothing (Advil, Tylenol, BenGay) was helping. Thankfully, my friends recommended Dr. Richards, and after a month of treatment I’m finally pain free!

I can drive, do yard work, exercise at the YMCA and do my wood working with no neck pain – or other painful joints.

Definitely, [I would refer others],
