Sandpoint chamber welcomes Caribou Chiropractic and Massage

SANDPOINT — Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce have welcomed Caribou Chiropractic and Massage to the organization.

Dr. Todd Richards and his wife Kimberly Richards opened Caribou Chiropractic and Massage, 513 N. Fourth, Sandpoint, in February. The practice offers chiropractic adjustments through various methods including electric stimulation, ultrasound, drop table and diversified techniques and massage therapy.

After traveling through North Idaho going to rodeos as a young adult, Dr. Richards said he longed to settle down and call the area home. Last fall, the Richards visited Sandpoint and returned two months later with all of their belongings. Their goal is to bring affordable care to the area, Richards added.

When they’re not at the office, the couple said the area allows them to do all the things they love — camping, biking, fishing and hunting.

“Everyone in Sandpoint is so welcoming and friendly,” said Kimberly Richards. “We have enjoyed meeting community members, getting involved in the chamber, and I’ve joined the chamber’s Women In Business and Sandpoint Rotary.”

Dr. Todd Richards said the philosophy at Caribou Chiropractic and Massage is to start slow by analyzing patients’ pain, explaining their body and customizing a treatment plan. He said they use gentle adjustments and empathize with patients during the treatment. In addition, they work with doctors and other health care professionals when developing a patient’s treatment plan to maximize the patient’s success.

Dr. Richards started his own practice in 2010 in Lockhart, Texas, after graduating from Parker Chiropractic College in Dallas, Texas. Kimberly left the banking world as an auditor and joined her husband in the office. She’s recently completed her schooling and received her license and certification for massage therapy. She’s also nationally certified in equine massage, since 2011, which made massage therapy a natural fit.

Caribou Chiropractic and Massage is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9 a.m.-noon and 2-5 p.m., Tuesdays from 9 a.m.-noon and Saturday by appointment only.
