Testimonials

This office squeezed me in on short notice when I was in so much pain...as a new patient! The doctors have been wonderful, knowledgeable, thorough, and my pain has decreased significantly in a few short visits! The staff is friendly and accommodating. Can’t say enough good things about this office. Friends from my gym referred me here and I am so glad they did!

Day one at this office I got the impression that Dr. Ruff and Dr. Carlsen have a great deal of care for their patients. I have been seeing chiropractors since I was 14 with scoliosis and headaches and this office has surpassed all of my past experiences. Not only do they provide exceptional care but they are also very personable. They remember me and show a genuine interest in my overall wellbeing. In addition, I have a very complicated schedule. They have a large range of appointment times available and have been flexible with short notice appointment changes when something throws off my day. I am moving and truly wish I could take them with me.

After 30 years of Chiropractic care, and just relocating to Virginia, I was searching for a Chiropractor. My choice was obvious as I wanted a Palmer Graduate. I found Dr. Carlson had graduated from Palmer which to me is the best of the best. It was the FIRST Chiropractic College and the one that all others set their bar to. Dr. Carlson and his staff are caring, compassionate and listen to your concerns. They will obviously tailor your treatments to your specific needs and explain in detail what the will do every step of the way. I trust the Doctors and the staff at Family Chiropractic Center to help my body heal itself without the need for drugs of any kind.

I had suffered from debilitating chronic pain in my lower back for 2 years. I had been to numerous doctors, had injections, tried physical therapy, and even worked with a personal trainer. Yet I could find no lasting relief. I prayed for hope. Then a friend recommended Family Chiropractic Center of Richmond. I had never been to a chiropractor before, and I admit I was skeptical, but I decided to try it.

At Family Chiropractic Center of Richmond, I was treated with respect by the caring, friendly, and professional staff, Dr. Carlsen gave me a thorough exam and consultation, was patient with my many questions, and remained optimistic. Not only did I receive the chiropractic adjustments and treatments that proved to gradually ease my pain, but Family Chiropractic Center of Richmond’s all-inclusive approach gave me the knowledge I needed in order to see lasting results. I learned which movements and activities actually contributed to my back pain, the role stress played, valuable diet and nutrition information, and an exercise routine to fit my individual needs.        

Now, 7 months later, I am so happy to report a significant reduction in my back pain, and some days, no pain at all! I am continuing to improve weekly. I am so thankful for Family Chiropractic Center of Richmond. I sure am glad I didn’t listen to the skeptic in me!
