Shawn Richey, D.C. Chiropractic Family Health Center

He then spent the next 6 years to become a National Sales Account Manager. Although the job was rewarding, he did not find the satisfaction in helping people that he desired. So, in August 2003, he graduated from Logan College of Chiropractic with a Doctorate of Chiropractic degree and a Bachelor of Science in Human Biology. “To see the transition of a person’s health and demeanor for the better because of your care is the most rewarding experience that I have encountered. My goal is to help as many people as I possibly can,” explains Dr. Richey. Healing peripheral neuropathy in hundreds of patients, getting them back to walking and living life again, are just some of the amazing results that Dr. Richey has seen in his journey of being a Chiropractor.
