Richard Eddie Adams, DC

Hello from your Chiropractor in Star, Idaho! My given name is Richard Eddie Adams, but most people call me “Ed”. I was born and raised in Whittier, California and graduated from LACC (Los Angeles College of Chiropractic) in 1998.

My first experience with chiropractic came when I was cycling competitively as a teenager. At a weekend race, I crashed and decided to let the team chiropractor work his magic. The good news is that I was back on my bike the following weekend. After that injury, I became increasingly interested in natural healthcare. After high school, I volunteered at a local chiropractic clinic to learn more, and ultimately enrolled in Chiropractic College. I love what I do, and can’t imagine being in any other profession.

Here’s a little bit more about me, personally. I’m married to my best friend Tomi. Together, we are raising two amazing children. Garrett is 20, a drummer, and a genius with computers. Angelina (Annie) is 15 and is our small, but mighty artist. When I’m not taking care of my patients or finishing the “honey-do” list, you will find me outdoors hiking and biking.

My goal is to help my patients move beyond symptom management toward a state of health and wellbeing. I want to empower them to be proactive participants in their care, making healthy decisions in their everyday lives. My wife and I strive to live a chiropractic lifestyle and share our expertise with patients so that they can make well-informed health decisions. I believe that families under chiropractic care are healthier than families that are not. As a doctor, I have extensive post-graduate training, knowledge and adjusting skills. I have attended hundreds of lectures, seminars and workshops to keep up-to-date with the latest research and developments in chiropractic and wellness.

Well, that’s enough about me! If you have any health concerns, I would love to meet you and see how I can help. Feel free to send me a message or give me a call anytime. Thank you in advance for considering me for your health care needs.
