Pain and immobility affect everyday life. That's why we thoroughly evaluate each patient's condition from their first visit, using a personalized approach to determine and address the real causes of their pain.
Dr. Richards and the Back to Health Chiropractic team develop treatment plans centered on each patient's unique situation, with support at every step of the healing process. Our services address musculoskeletal issues causing minor to major pain in the back, neck, shoulders, joints, or head.
Each patient has different muscle and joint issues and different recovery goals. We evaluate symptoms, movement patterns, and health history on day one, so your treatment plan is tailored to you, your conditions, and your goals.
It is not a temporary quick fix. We help you acquire relief, recovery, and wellness that lasts. Your customized plan includes chiropractic treatments, helpful education, and ongoing support, all targeted at addressing your unique chiropractic care needs until recovery.

Chiropractic adjustments are at the heart of Back to Health Chiropractic’s services. Misalignments in the spine, whether minor or major, cause pressure on the nervous system and the muscles around it. If not detected immediately, they cause pain in the neck, head, and back.
This condition eventually limits movement as other musculoskeletal problems start to show. Gentle and precise adjustments are an effective method to bring back normal joint movements in affected areas, allowing the body to heal naturally.
Once we complete your assessment, we will determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your spine alignment, muscle tension removal, and curing of the dysfunction. Our personalized chiropractic adjustment helps you regain your ease and confidence.

Car accidents, no matter how minor, can still cause serious health problems if detection and treatment aren't carried out immediately.
Some symptoms of underlying physical issues caused by an auto accident do not show right away, only to be felt days later, causing noticeable discomfort and disruption to daily activities. Proper assessment and well-designed chiropractic treatment are both salient to health and well-being following a road collision.
The chiropractic treatment plans that we offer are focused on each patient's condition, situation, and recovery goals. They are carefully designed to effectively help patients recover from injuries and other physical conditions resulting from an auto accident.


Sciatica is one of the most common causes of severe pain that runs around the back, down to the hips, and then to the legs. It happens when the sciatic nerve becomes irritated or compressed due to activities like heavy lifting and sitting for hours.
The condition brings not only a tingling but also recurring sensations of severe pain that render daily living in extreme discomfort, inconvenience, and, worse, immobility. Back to Health Chiropractic's spinal alignment is a chiropractic treatment that addresses conditions like sciatica and other spine-related pains.
By realigning the spine, this treatment relieves the pressure on the sciatic nerve, easing pain and restoring mobility so patients can return to their daily routines with lasting relief.
We are happy to provide our patient-centered and results-driven chiropractic care in and around Sault Ste. Marie. Most of our patients live in Saul Ste. Marie area and the surrounding communities, who come to our clinic to seek help in addressing persisting joint and muscle pains, achieving auto accident injury relief, and even attaining posture restoration.

Beginning care often brings up important questions about treatment, safety, and results. Below are straightforward answers to help you feel informed and confident before getting started.
Generally, chiropractic care is safe. It is also beneficial for adults and children who experience chronic issues with the muscles, joints, nerves, and spine. The keys to safe chiropractic care include proper assessment of the patient’s condition, a well-designed treatment plan, and an experienced chiropractic professional who carries out the plan.
Most people do not feel pain during chiropractic treatments like decompression or adjustment. When you hear a cracking sound during an adjustment, that is due to the gas being released from your joints. Soreness and stiffness after a treatment may sometimes be felt, but they are most of the time mild and temporary.
Yes. It’s important to know that both minor and major vehicle collisions can cause misalignment of the spine as well as injury to the soft tissues. Since not all symptoms appear immediately after an accident, connecting with a chiropractic professional is highly advised. This allows you to be properly evaluated and treated, and ultimately prevents worst-case scenarios in your health.
Relief and recovery happen depending on your condition. For acute muscle strain and lower back pain, it may take 2 to 6 days to begin feeling better. For chronic pain due to spine and joint misalignment, it may take 2 or more weeks to feel completely pain-free. Some conditions necessitate maintenance chiropractic care, in which case, ongoing clinic visits are necessary in order to sustain recovery.
We offer chiropractic care and treatment as a non-invasive method for curing individuals who suffer from different musculoskeletal issues, such as sciatica, persistent headaches, and even neck pain and lower back pain. We do a careful and thorough assessment of your situation and health condition, which enables us to determine whether you need one or more of these chiropractic services, including physical therapy, exercise sessions, massage, posture correction, neck exercises, stress management, and chiropractic care.
When you visit us for the first time, you will be interviewed and evaluated by our team. The initial goal is to determine your concerns, recovery goals, health history, and present conditions. The results of your assessment will then be used to outline a chiropractic treatment plan that is centered on your unique needs. Expect us to discuss with you our findings and recommendations based on suitable options.
Our clinic provides a welcoming, comfortable environment focused on helping you heal and improve your quality of life. Whether you are experiencing chronic pain or new symptoms, our team is ready to help you take the next step toward recovery.
