Love Dr. Richard’s, Michelle and staff. I have been coming here for almost 2 years and I feel so much better than before, the weekly adjustments help me move better as I try to keep consistent with a workout plan. The fact that I sit in an office for work makes me feel heavy stress and pain in my lower back and neck…

Dr Richard's is such a great chiropractor — and I love Michelle and his team. He's caring, professional, and always effective. I have been visiting his practice since the Spring and I can't imagine not being a client. I leave every visit feeling better and more balanced. Truly the best in Long Branch.
