Dr. Todd A. Richardson, D.C.

Dr. Todd Richardson is a partner at Pure Wellness in Middletown. He specializes in injury rehabilitation from auto accidents, work-related injuries, personal injuries, and everyday pain. He is a Life University graduate and attended Towson University.

A former Vice President and Treasurer of the Delaware Chiropractic Society, he is certified in manipulation under anesthesia and treats whiplash, carpal tunnel, headaches, and extremity pain.

Middletown patients who were in a crash, hurt at work, or told to “wait and see” usually start here.

Your first appointment runs 60 to 90 minutes, and the adjustment is the last thing that happens, not the first. Todd starts with your history — what happened, when, what makes it worse, what you have already tried — then screens your posture, measures range of motion rather than estimating it, and examines the joints and soft tissue around the area you are pointing at.

You get told what was found before anything is treated. If you are a chiropractic case and you want to be adjusted the same day, that happens at the first visit. A full verbal report of findings comes at the follow-up, when there has been time to look at everything properly.

Todd adjusts using Rehabilitation-Based Chiropractic, Manipulation Under Anaesthesia, Extremity Adjusting, and the choice is made from the exam rather than from habit. Lower-force options exist for every region of the spine, so if a manual adjustment is not right for you — or you simply do not want one — there is another way to get the joint moving. Each technique is described here.

Not every problem is a chiropractic problem. If yours is not, you will be told at the exam and pointed toward the right kind of care.

Todd sees patients at Pure Wellness Middletown, 708 Ash Blvd in Middletown. Mon–Fri with a lunch break; closed weekends. Pure Wellness Chiropractic runs five clinics across the state, so if a colleague is a better fit for your case or a different office is an easier drive, the desk will say so.
