“Years ago, I experienced low back pain following years of physical labor.  Dr. Richard Cole’s father, Dr. James Cole, quickly helped my back. He addressed my complaint without medications and without me missing much work.  Following that, I was so intrigued that I also became a chiropractor.  Now I enjoy now being able to do the same thing for others.  Also, I like to get to know my patients beyond their pain complaints. Work and family lives are often contributing factors to pain and discomfort.  Thus I hope to give them quick pain relief and teach them how to avoid future problems.  Helping patients feel better is a team effort between me and everyone I talk to in my office.”
