Chiropractic is a form of alternative medicine that mainly deals with the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine. A chiropractor uses spinal adjustments, manipulation, and other techniques to manage patients’ health concerns, including neck pain, back pain, headaches, vertigo and a long list of other ailments and conditions. They aim to improve patients’ functionality and quality of life by properly aligning the body’s musculoskeletal structure and enabling the body to heal itself naturally, without the use of medication or surgery.

On a more personal note, Dr. Rickels enjoys spending time with her husband, Bill, and their children, Misa and Brison. She is fluent in four different languages, English, Albanian, Spanish, and Italian. She welcomes diversity in her clinic, and is a warrior for her faith.
