One-on-one with Dr. Richter about your heel pain and goals.
A thorough hands-on assessment of your foot, heel, arch and gait.
On-site imaging when clinically necessary.
Your first Shockwave Therapy treatment included on day one.
Every patient is different, so care starts with understanding yours. Here's what your visit looks like.
Dr. Richter reviews your history, examines your foot, heel and arch, and orders X-rays if needed to pinpoint what's driving your pain.
Based on your evaluation, Dr. Richter recommends the right mix of non-surgical options — which may include hands-on chiropractic care, Shockwave Therapy and other therapies.
Start feeling relief with a simple plan to keep you standing, walking and moving without heel pain.

Plantar fasciitis is irritation of the thick band of tissue on the bottom of your foot that connects the heel to the toes. Left unaddressed, it can make every step painful.
Because heel pain can have more than one cause, there's no one-size-fits-all fix. After your evaluation, Dr. Richter matches you with the non-surgical treatments most likely to help — such as hands-on chiropractic care or Shockwave Therapy, which uses non-invasive sound waves to support the body's natural healing.

I came in after hardly being able to walk, Dr. Richter worked on me, and I was able to walk pain free again, plus he gave me some stretches and exercises to do to make sure it would not happen again. Richter Family Chiropractic is a professional, family friendly, health and recovery friendly environment! I would encourage all to make it their home.

I love Richter Family Chiro. I've been going to them for over 2 years. They have worked wonders on my neck and back. Even wrist and ankle. The staff is the best. They are there for you. And with a smile. Dr Richter has all the state of the art equipment. It's like chiro and therapy in one. I recommend to everyone.

I recently completed a knee therapy program at Richter Family Chiropractic, and I couldn't be happier with the results! The program included shockwave therapy, knee decompression, and other targeted techniques. My knee feels great — much more stable, with significantly less pain and swelling. The staff was professional, knowledgeable, and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. I truly feel the treatment has made a big difference in my recovery. Highly recommend this place to anyone dealing with knee issues!
Natalia Millan
I came to Richter Family Chiropractic from experiencing carpal tunnel and tendinitis pain. Dr. Richter personalized a plan to address my concerns including chiropractic and shockwave therapy. I have experienced great results from Dr. Richter and his team's care through his treatment plan. The shockwave therapy has been transformative for me and has brought much needed relief. Dr. Richter and his team are caring, helpful, knowledgeable, flexible and extremely accommodating.
Javier Ramirez
Amazing experience from start to finish. The staff is fantastic all around, and the shockwave therapy made a huge difference. I'm back at the gym and sleeping better. I'm incredibly grateful to Richter Family Chiropractic for the excellent care!
Sigy Zaslove
I received fantastic care for my severe problem. The staff is great and always super friendly. Dr. Richter is tops in his field. The laser and shock treatments solved some of my problems.
Scott Smith
Dr. Richter has all the latest tools. He arranged a series of decompression sessions for me that finally relieved me of the pain I thought I would never get rid of. The decompression machine is gentle and the laser techniques they use really reduce inflammation. I now go in for maintenance monthly.
Patrice Bernard
I have been a patient of Dr. Richter's for a few years now. Greeted with a smile from each of the specialists and always with respect and courtesy. Always advancing with the practice using ongoing knowledge, you know you are treated well. The laser and spinal decompression have really been helpful with my life. If you need your spine adjusted or any of a myriad of conditions, tendinitis, arthritis... I wish you would go and talk with Dr. Richter.

I didn't know the extent of the damage I had to my hip; it was very painful for several years. I decided to do the therapy treatment, and it's the best thing I could have done. I've improved so much. Thank you, Richter Family. 100% recommended!
