What a first visit with Todd looks like

A first appointment runs 60 to 90 minutes and most of it is not treatment. The history comes first — what the complaint is, when it started, what makes it worse, what you have already tried, and what you need to be able to do again. Then the physical exam: posture, active and passive range of motion, orthopaedic testing, and a neurological screen. Imaging is ordered when the exam calls for it, not as a default.

You will hear the findings and the plan before anything is treated, including how many visits Todd expects it to take and what should change by when. If the exam points somewhere other than chiropractic — a medical condition, a referral to physical therapy, imaging, or a specialist — that is what you will be told. Pure Wellness Middletown keeps the same standard across every doctor in the building.

Technique is matched to the patient. Todd works with Injury rehabilitation, Manipulation under anesthesia, Extremity adjusting, and low-force instrument or drop-table options are available for anyone who does not want manual adjusting or should not have it — including older patients, patients with osteoporosis, and anyone who is simply nervous about it.

The office staff were so wonderful and professional that I immediately felt at ease. I enjoyed listening to Dr. Todd Richardson and what chiropractic therapy could offer me.

Common questions about seeing Todd

Where does Todd practice?

Dr. Todd A. Richardson, D.C. sees patients at Pure Wellness Middletown, 708 Ash Blvd, Middletown, DE 19709 ((302) 449-0149). Booking here uses the same schedule the clinic uses.

What happens at a first visit with Todd?

Expect 60 to 90 minutes. History first, then a physical exam covering posture, range of motion, orthopaedic and neurological testing, and imaging only where the exam calls for it. You will hear what was found and what the plan is before any treatment, and if chiropractic is not the right answer you will be told that instead.

What techniques does Todd use?

Injury rehabilitation, Manipulation under anesthesia, Extremity adjusting. Technique is chosen to fit the patient rather than the other way round — low-force instrument and drop-table options exist for patients who do not want or should not have manual adjusting.

Is insurance accepted?

Yes, at every Pure Wellness clinic. Benefits are verified at no charge before you commit to anything, so you know your coverage, deductible position, and visit limits up front rather than after the first bill.

Can I see Todd for a car accident or work injury?

Yes. Personal injury and workers' compensation cases are billed through a different path than advertised new-patient pricing, and the motor-vehicle and work-injury forms should be completed before you arrive. Early documentation matters more in these cases than in any other.

Book Todd

Insurance accepted at all five clinics. We verify benefits at no charge.
