Dr. Rich Woolley

Dr. Rich Woolley became interested in sports medicine and chiropractic after suffering for years with chronic low back pain as a teenager and young adult. He began his studies as an undergraduate and received his Bachelors in Athletic Training from BYU, gaining experience working with various sports injuries and athletics. He then attended Logan University, in Missouri, earning a Masters in Sports Science and Rehabilitation and a Doctorate of Chiropractic.

Dr. Woolley recognizes the need of utilizing multiple treatment approaches in the conservative management of pain. He is certified in trigger point dry needling and is an assistant dry needling instructor with Myopain Seminars. He has completed continuing education in the diagnosis and rehabilitation of low back disorders under Dr. Stuart McGill, a world-renowned lumbar spine biomechanist, and is a certified McGill Method Certified Practitioner. In addition to chiropractic treatment, he frequently utilizes osteopathic manipulative techniques. He enjoys helping people live a more functional, pain free life.

In his free time, Dr. Woolley enjoys spending time with his family and exploring Alaska. He is passionate about strength training and general fitness and is a strong believer in gaining and maintaining strength and fitness in a way that builds physical capacity and injury resilience through all stages of life. He loves a rough and tumble Alaska hunting adventure, downhill skiing, mountain biking, and fishing.
