Chiropractic care is surrounded by a world of misconceptions. Years ago, I truly thought the only reason to get a chiropractic adjustment was if I had a major injury. So today, i’m chatting with my personal and longtime chiropractor, Dr. Rachel Richards. For Dr. Rachel, being a chiropractor was not her original plan. Her first career in engineering ended when she realized how unhappy she was going to work everyday. Now, Dr. Rachel finds her work as a chiropractor to be fulfilling because she really believes in the power her work has to change her patients lives.

We’re digging in to all things chiropractic care from the origin story of chiropractics to how you can go about finding an aligned chiropractor in your area. Personally, I take my whole family to the chiropractor for a whole host of reasons and some of them might surprise you. Dr. Rachel practices with an applied kinesiology background and specializes in Neural Emotional Techniques that help patients process stored trauma and emotions.

When I think of all of the healthcare providers in my life, a chiropractic adjustment is one thing I won’t go a long period of time without. Dr. Rachel shares generous information about what you can expect from a chiropractor, when to see a chiropractor as opposed to a regular doctor, and so many helpful tips. Dr. Rachel explains that this is because chiropractic care focuses on balancing the nervous system, you will walk away feeling confident that you can go find a chiropractor and explore the benefits for yourself!
