Chiropractor

About Dr. Rick: 

Hi, I’m Dr Rick. I am a graduate of UCLA and Palmer College of Chiropractic, and I have been in private practice in Auburn since 1992. My love of, and confidence in, natural healing and chiropractic deepens with the continual successes I witness each day. Every day we have the privilege to see how powerfully effective (at times bordering on the miraculous) our unique approach to healing is. Each treatment arises from the clarity that your body has the innate ability to heal itself and our work is to remove the obstacles that prevent you from healing.

We are an important part of your health care team, bringing the knowledge, expertise and value of the chiropractic/orthopedic approach (sports injuries, and treatment of stiffness, pain, numbness, etc.) and the natural holistic approach (Acupressure, CranioSacral, Reiki, nutrition, detoxification, etc.) to support your well-being.

Many people see us for relief of aches, pain, stiffness, numbness, tingling and loss of movement. Many others see us for natural medicines and treatments for digestive, immune, hormone and other concerns. 

Over the years, patients have consistently told us how much they appreciate our honesty, our commitment to listening, and how present and focused we are. Whether your goal is pain relief, correction, prevention, maintenance or wellness care, we work with you to create the healing plan that fits your needs. We invite you to work with us and ignite your healing power, return to your vibrant self, and just plain feel good again.
