Introducing Framingham Chiropractor Dr. Richard Wexler

Dr. Richard WexlerAfter researching the chiropractic profession, I came to the realization that chiropractic care is holistic in nature.  In other words, it affects our entire system.  Our nervous system connects our brain and spinal cord through the nerves to cause all our organs, muscles, and glands to function properly.  If there is nerve interference at any level, the target organ, muscle or gland can be affected.  As chiropractors, we manipulate (move) the vertebral (spinal) bones to remove pressure on these nerves.  When the pressure is removed, pain and dysfunction can be alleviated.

I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Pre-Med from the State University of New York at New Paltz.  Continuing my education, I received my Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic.  I opened my practice in 1986 and have continued at the same location to this date.  After practicing for ten years, I continued my education and received a post-graduate degree in Orthopedics in 1997 from National College of Chiropractic. 

My goals and intentions for this practice are to keep my patients healthy and pain-free.  I also want my patients to understand how to maintain their health.  Therefore, we have weekly seminars for all new patients to educate them on diet, exercise, and the six facets of a healthy lifestyle. 
Being in the community for over twenty years, we have formed relationships with industry as well as town municipalities.  We have held health fairs, lectures, and trainings to promote the benefits of chiropractic care, general health, and ergonomics.
Within my twenty years of practice, many of my patients have come to me as a last resort.  I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard, “I should have come here first!”

My wife Nancy and I have four great children, and we live in the MetroWest area.  We are very family oriented, love our home life, and community.  I am very dedicated to this practice and my patients, and I look forward to helping you.

Dr. Wexler Asks some important questions of interest to Framingham residents - Chiropractor Framingham Dr. Wexler Asks...

What's the difference between sick care and health care?
Sick care is largely about relieving or suppressing symptoms. Health care is about improving performance. While sick care is about how you feel, health care is about how you function. Sick care is what you do to treat an obvious problem, and health care is what you do to avoid the problem and advance your well-being.
What's your plan to deal with drug-resistant 'super germs'?
Chiropractors have always been concerned with the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, accelerating the mutation of microbes that make "wonder" drugs increasingly ineffective. My strategy? Do everything possible to bolster my immune system through proper diet, rest, exercise, clean air, pure water and an optimally functioning nervous system with regular chiropractic care.
