His chiropractic patients include amateur and professional athletes; industrial workers with occupational health problems (such as repetitive strain injury, or RSI); men and women with pain based on tension in the back, spine and neck; automobile accident victims; home accident victims; and people who simply woke up in pain, or stretched the wrong way, heard something pop, and started to hurt.
As the father of three sons, Dr. Rick is also experienced in the gentle chiropractic treatment of children.
