Dr. Rick Humiston

Mission: "To Help as Many People in My Lifetime as I Can, Especially Children".

I earned my Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life Chiropractic University in Marietta, Georgia in 1997. Previous to this I earned an undergraduate degree in Movement Science (1992) from William Paterson University in Wayne, New Jersey.

I enjoy to be active in the chiropractic field by maintaining memberships with the International Chiropractor’s Association, the North Carolina Chiropractic Association and the International Pediatric Chiropractic Association.

I have delivered thousands of spinal adjustments to the people of Henderson, Transylvania and Buncombe Counties with an array of modern, effective and gentle chiropractic techniques. I have also completed hundreds of hours of post graduate studies (see below) to further my knowledge and will continue to on a yearly basis.

I have a sincere commitment to help people who are ready to be helped. No matter what age, EVERYONE deserves the finest in service. With this said, it is my ambition to help people who are looking to be their very best in regards to their health, fortifying a life worth living.
