About Us
Chiropractic Care That Feels Personal Right From Day One
Pain and immobility affect everyday life. That's why we thoroughly evaluate each patient's condition from their first visit, using a personalized approach to determine and address the real causes of their pain.
Dr. Richards and the Back to Health Chiropractic team develop treatment plans centered on each patient's unique situation, with support at every step of the healing process. Our services address musculoskeletal issues causing minor to major pain in the back, neck, shoulders, joints, or head.
Thorough First-Visit Evaluation
Each patient has different muscle and joint issues and different recovery goals. We evaluate symptoms, movement patterns, and health history on day one, so your treatment plan is tailored to you, your conditions, and your goals.
Individualized Treatment Plan
It is not a temporary quick fix. We help you acquire relief, recovery, and wellness that lasts. Your customized plan includes chiropractic treatments, helpful education, and ongoing support, all targeted at addressing your unique chiropractic care needs until recovery.

Our Treatments & Services
Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments are at the heart of Back to Health Chiropractic’s services. Misalignments in the spine, whether minor or major, cause pressure on the nervous system and the muscles around it. If not detected immediately, they cause pain in the neck, head, and back.
This condition eventually limits movement as other musculoskeletal problems start to show. Gentle and precise adjustments are an effective method to bring back normal joint movements in affected areas, allowing the body to heal naturally.
Once we complete your assessment, we will determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your spine alignment, muscle tension removal, and curing of the dysfunction. Our personalized chiropractic adjustment helps you regain your ease and confidence.
Auto Accident Chiropractic
Car accidents, no matter how minor, can still cause serious health problems if detection and treatment aren't carried out immediately.
Some symptoms of underlying physical issues caused by an auto accident do not show right away, only to be felt days later, causing noticeable discomfort and disruption to daily activities. Proper assessment and well-designed chiropractic treatment are both salient to health and well-being following a road collision.
The chiropractic treatment plans that we offer are focused on each patient's condition, situation, and recovery goals. They are carefully designed to effectively help patients recover from injuries and other physical conditions resulting from an auto accident.
Sciatica Pain Treatment
Sciatica is one of the most common causes of severe pain that runs around the back, down to the hips, and then to the legs. It happens when the sciatic nerve becomes irritated or compressed due to activities like heavy lifting and sitting for hours.
The condition brings not only a tingling but also recurring sensations of severe pain that render daily living in extreme discomfort, inconvenience, and, worse, immobility. Back to Health Chiropractic's spinal alignment is a chiropractic treatment that addresses conditions like sciatica and other spine-related pains.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear Answers to Common Concerns
Beginning care often brings up important questions about treatment, safety, and results. Below are straightforward answers to help you feel informed and confident before getting started.
Question 1: Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?
Prenatal chiropractic care is designed to be gentle and specific. It focuses on supporting pelvic balance and reducing strain on the lower back as the body changes. Many pregnant patients seek care to stay more comfortable and mobile throughout pregnancy.
Question 2: Should I see a chiropractor after a car accident?
Yes. Even low speed accidents can cause spinal misalignment or soft tissue injury that may not show symptoms immediately. Early evaluation helps identify hidden damage and prevent long term stiffness or chronic pain.
Question 3: Does my child really need chiropractic care?
Children experience physical stress from growth, sports, falls, and posture habits. If they have recurring discomfort, uneven posture, or tension related symptoms, a gentle evaluation can determine if care would be beneficial.
Question 4: What should I expect during my first visit?
For many people, visiting a chiropractor is a new experience. Whether you were referred by someone you trust, researched care options online, or simply reached a point where pain is no longer something you want to live with, your first visit is designed to be informative and comfortable.
During your initial appointment, the focus is on understanding you. This includes discussing your health history, current symptoms, lifestyle, and goals. The chiropractor will take time to listen, evaluate your condition, and explain what may be contributing to your discomfort before discussing next steps.
Question 5: Why does my pain travel down my arm or leg?
Your first visit starts with a conversation about your concerns, health history, and what you are hoping to improve, whether that is back pain, headaches, pregnancy discomfort, or an auto accident injury. We then perform a thorough evaluation based on your specific condition. After reviewing the findings, we explain what we see and outline clear next steps tailored to your needs.
