Dr. Richard Cicala
Dr. Richard Cicala is dedicated to providing exceptional chiropractic care and Functional Medicine treatments to those in need. He earned his Doctorate of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, where he received several awards and honors. During his time at Palmer, Dr. Cicala participated in a Chiropractic Mission trip to Brazil, adjusting around 2,000 people in a 10-day period. In 2020, he became a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner through Functional Medicine University.
After graduating, Dr. Cicala interned at Balanced Living Chiropractic under Dr. John Kowalczyk’s guidance. Following the internship, Dr. Cicala worked with Dr. Kowalczyk for a year until Dr. Kowalczyk decided to focus on his second practice in Midland, MI, and sold the practice to Dr. Cicala.
Specializing in NUCCA, Orthospinology, and Activator procedures, Dr. Cicala uses these well-researched chiropractic techniques to gently realign the spine without twisting, popping, or cracking. The NUCCA system provides painless and safe spinal corrections, restoring body balance and enhancing the body’s natural healing ability. He has also incorporated the Blueprint system for neuropathy, weight loss, and other functional medicine protocols, benefiting tens of thousands of people across the country over the past decade.
A native of the metro-Detroit area, Dr. Cicala is proud to bring these specialized procedures to his community. His passion for healing was ignited when his mother, suffering from fibromyalgia-type symptoms, experienced significant relief after a single NUCCA adjustment. Inspired by her recovery, he has since treated thousands of patients. He is deeply passionate about his work and aims to positively impact thousands of lives throughout his career.
