Meet Richard Engel | Wellness Doctor & Chiropractor

We had the good fortune of connecting with Richard Engel and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Richard, what’s something about your industry that outsiders are probably unaware of?
Having the enjoyment of being in clinical practice for over 40 years, I have observed that most people think chiropractic is about helping one get rid of low back or neck pain, or even headaches. But the truth of the matter is that chiropractic reaches much further in that it addresses the nervous system which controls all bodily functions. When one’s nervous system starts to function better then the body will be put into the condition of healing many other issues.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I treat patients using the Activator Methods technique which is one of the most researched techniques in all of chiropractic, and is FDA approved. I am very advanced in this technology and I love that it is so gentle on the patients. Patients are afraid to get their “neck cracked.” I don’t do that. So my practice uses the Activator Instrument which is a hand held device to make the adjustments. Simply put, if you have a spine you are a good candidate. If you don’t have a spine, I can’t help you.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I would take them to the Del Mar area and go to the beach and have some dinner. Next, we would take a drive from Del Mar through Rancho Santa Fe to Rancho Bernardo, and other North County destinations.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I was educated at the original chiropractic school, Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. This is where chiropractic originated in 1896. That school/education was the beginning of my journey.
