Fitness and Nutrition

At Richards Integrative Medicine, we believe that what we eat is the most important part of our journey toward optimal health.  Make your appointment today to find out why most diets fail and learn about the many factors that prevent us from achieving our health and fitness goals. Our approach combines exercise program design with a personalized nutrition and detox protocol to help you achieve your weight loss and health goals.

Your Solution for Pain Management and Injury Treatment

Electrotherapy

Treatments such as TENS, Infrared Heat Therapy, and Interferential Therapy provide an effective way to manage pain, while also encouraging healing and recovery.

Regenerative Therapies

Injection therapies, including Prolotherapy, PRP, and Trigger Point Injection Therapy, not only address your pain, but also work with your body's own immune system to stimulate healing and encourage regeneration of inflamed, damaged muscles, tissues, and cells.

Hands On Treatment

Manual Therapies, including Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Cupping, spinal manipulation, therapeutic stretching and rehabilitative exercise are essential to successful healing and recovery from injury.

What Is Integrative Medicine?

Integrative Medicine (also known as Naturopathic Medicine) is a system of healthcare that focuses on treating the whole person.  A physician practicing in an Integrative Medicine setting is either a primary care provider or a specialist who focuses on treating everything from musculoskeletal complaints to autoimmune diseases, and often works alongside oncologists to help minimize the effects of cancer treatments, thus providing a better outcome for the patient.  Similarly to our Medical Doctor comrades, we attend a four-year post bachelor medical school that prepares us to see patients in a primary care setting.  In addition, we receive extensive coursework and training in botanical medicine, counseling, physical medicine including spinal and joint manipulation, hydrotherapy and electrotherapy, nutrition, pharmacology, diagnostic imaging and minor surgery. Our goal is not only to effectively treat illness, but also to focus on preventing it from occurring in the first place through the nurturing and strengthening of all aspects of health and wellness.  ​

What can you expect at your first appointment?

When you arrive for your first appointment, you can often expect to spend about one hour with your Healthcare Provider.  Dr. Richards will begin with a thorough interview so that he can get to know you and determine not only what condition(s) might be affecting you, but also what underlying factors could be contributing to your symptoms.   Then you can expect a physical exam and if needed, diagnostic imaging and blood-work.  Getting a thorough look at your overall health is important so that your doctor can come up with the most effective treatment plan individualized to you.  If we can't help, we will refer you to the specialist that we feel is most qualified to work with you on achieving our common goal of better health.  ​
