Dr Rick is the Chiropractor that Chiropractors go to. He's informative, thorough, professional and caring, and he tells it like it is. I've been to other Chiropractors and the difference is like night and day. I'd recommend him to any family or friend or anyone in need.

I gave birth to my son in 2017 and a year later I was still dealing with neck pain which I believe was caused from delivering him and nursing. After seeing three different chiropractors over a years time, I finally saw Dr. Rick and felt some relief! About three appointments in, my pain was almost completely gone! He is committed to chiropractic care and isnt into all the extra fluff that many chiros push such as physical therapy, acupuncture, supplements, etc! My appointments with Dr Rick are 1/3 of the time I was spending with other chiros- which is helpful for a mom of a toddler! Now that

He is the most effective chiropractor for my herniated/bulging disc issue. the adjustments and treatment is a little different than regular chiropractors, but it works better.
