Dr. Richard's mission is to improve your quality of life by offering the highest quality chiropractic care. He believes everyone deserves an abundant & healthy life and that being healthy is more than just not feeling pain. Dr. Richard decided to become a chiropractor after his own life-changing chiropractic experience. As a result, he constantly strives to learn & grow and stay abreast of new technology. Chiropractic is based on the idea that when the spine is functioning normally, the nervous system can also function properly. Everyday events cause the spine to lose its normal functioning, setting off a chain reaction affecting vertebrae, nerves, muscles & soft tissues, resulting in degeneration throughout the body. Dr. Richard is trained to detect & correct these issues through safe, gentle & specific adjustments. Call for an appointment & begin a healthier life today!
The best in chiropractic care
by meshman2
Dr. Al Richard is amazing. My long nagging shoulder injury is now pain free and chronic neck pain is gone. His adjustments are very precise. The Gonstatd method he uses is much more effective than other chiropractic methods I have expereinced.
Pros: Thumbs up
Cons: None

incomprable care
by ekjantzen
It took me a while to find him, years in fact, but Dr. Richard is the best Gonstead Chiropractor in the business. After two car accidents I was having real quality of life issues and even some mobility issues. Along with stretching and light exercise per his recommendation, Dr. Richard's therapy has helped me gain back my formerly pain-free existence. His therapy is beyond pain relief, it's wellness care. Technique aside, Dr. Richard's bedside manner cannot be beat. He spends time with both my husband and me individually upon each visit. No two visits are alike because you are examined each time so you'll never get cookie-cutter treatment. His goal is not to make you a patient for life, but to get you on the road to health then leave you alone. He is ethical, honest and deeply caring. I've never once felt pressured and I've never had any misgivings whatsoever about choosing him. I just wish I hadn't waited for a car accident to seek Gonstead chiropractic care.
Pros: unsurpassed bedside manner, little to no wait time, great location/ atmosphere

My Health Has Changed For the Better!
by lifefree
I would like to encourage anyone who might feel somewhat apprehensive to moving forward with chiropractic care by offering my testimonial:
What a wonderful relief it has been for me to live without the intense burning, numbness and stinging sort of tingling sensation I have had with both of my legs and feet while at work, sitting at my workstation computer everyday. Needless to say I would not sleep very well at night and would find that my legs would kick and twitch during the night.
I am so thankful that I met Dr. Richard! I agreed to an initial consultation, came into his office for a preliminary evaluation, x-rays and analysis. He discussed the plan and his course of action with me before I began receiving treatment and adjustments to both my neck and spine. My health has changed for the better! As a result, I am well rested and more productive and live without the intense pain that is now just a memory of how I once lived.
Pros: downtown location, knowledgable trustworthy Doctor
Cons: none!

I feel the best I've felt in years!
by dongon
I hurt my right shoulder so badly that I was unable to use my right arm. I met Dr. Al and he said he could check it out and help relieve the pain. As my pain worsened, I decided to take Dr. Al up on his offer. I made the appointment and the results on my FIRST visit were incredible! Realizing I needed more help with other issues, other than just my shoulder, I decided to allow Dr. Al to work with me in getting my 45 yr. old body back to feeling like I'm in my 20's again! After about 6 month, I feel the best I've felt in years. Being able to do things without major pain is a true blessing in itself. I'm still working on some minor issues, but I have learned to listen to my body and see Dr. Al when my body says it's time. I appreciate the knowledge and direction Dr. Al has shown to me, I would and do recommend him to my friends!
Pros: Dr. Al is so approachable and GREAT at what he does!
Cons: n/a
