About Our Practice
Dear Knee Pain Sufferer,
My name is Dr. Dan Richmond, DC and my team of highly trained healthcare clinicians and I offer a NEW, Non-Invasive and Non-Surgical therapy protocol that combines the best of cutting edge medical treatments to not only help resolve your chronic knee pain, but also rehabilitate and stabilize the knee as well. Our commitment to patients and the community has made our clinic a trusted source of care in the same location for decades. Our long-standing presence in the same location reflects a legacy of trust, consistency, and results.
We'll know during this first visit and more importantly YOU WILL know whether or not our unique knee pain program is going to help you or not! If we can help you we will let you know and if we cannot help you we will be glad to make a referral. Either way we guarantee you answers!
I hear from new patients every day who tell me I am their “last resort” doctor. If I can’t help them, they have no where left to go as other doctors have told them there is nothing more that can be done to help them except to block their ability to feel pain with pain medications and injections, or undergo risky reconstructive or replacement surgery. Many of them have already suffered some of the awful side effects of harmful medications, invasive injections, or failed surgery. Our patients come to us with knee pain caused by degenerative joint disease, sports injuries, and repetitive stress. Some cannot even bear weight on their knees, others have painful swelling on or behind their knees caused by a Baker’s cyst. Some patients have knee deformities such as “bow legs” or “knock knees” and many feel as though their knee is unstable or gives out due to loss of balance, sensation and strength.

While pain medications can temporarily relieve pain, they may also produce undesirable side effects or even result in dependence of the drugs.
That’s why we offer alternative therapies for opioid-free acute, sub-acute and or chronic pain patients.
One of the most effective non-surgical, drug-free treatments we offer is Electroanalgesia (EA) by NeuroMed. This revolutionary pain management system delivers precise dosages of electrical energy that provides stimulation to peripheral nerves (the nerves that connect the brain and spinal cord to limbs and organs) to block your pain.
If you have ever had physical therapy, you may be familiar with TENS (Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation), an external device that reduces pain by applying low voltage of electricity and low dosage through small electrodes placed over the skin. For example, TENS units deliver 1 to 250 pulses per second, and delivers about 25 Ma dosage.
Similar in concept to TENS unit in delivering stimulation, Electroanalgesic treatments also use high electrical energy 8,300 to 10,000 pulses per second (frequencies) and also high dosage of energy (as high as 100Ma) to block pain. Due to lowered skin resistance, this electrical energy is delivered deeper into the patient’s tissue to block pain signals.
Rather than stimulate the nerves like a TENS unit, higher frequency energy and higher dosage of energy can reduce the ability of the affected nerves to transmit pain signals and, at the same time, promote healing. It’s like a nerve block with electrical energy instead of an injection (such as an epidural). With the correct dosage and electrodes, Electroanaglesia (EA) can safely and effectively decrease pain intensity, providing patients with an improved quality of life.

MLS Laser Therapy is a medical breakthrough therapeutic device with unparalleled applications and treatment outcomes. The Laser works by converting light into biochemical energy, resulting in normal cell function, which causes symptoms (PAIN) to disappear.
The primary biological action of laser results from stimulation of cellular transport mechanisms in the mitochondria, cell membranes and epithelial tissues. This action causes the release of vasodilating chemicals, the stimulation of DNA and RNA (Building blocks) synthesis, an increase in enzyme production, an increase of superoxide dismutase activity, normalization of tissue pH, and increased ATP production. (Healing of the cells from the inside)
The increase of vasodilatation (blood supply) and improved microcirculation will increase the supply of cellular nutrition promoting tissue repair and remodeling (which means you heal faster). Significant reduction in edema (swelling) is also noted. Some of the key benefits Laser Therapy for Chronic Knee Pain are:
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
ACCELERATED TISSUE REPAIR AND CELL GROWTH
IMPROVED VASCULAR ACTIVITY
INCREASED METABOLIC ACTIVITY
REDUCED FIBROUS TISSUE FORMATION
IMPROVED NERVE FUNCTION

LIVE FREE of troublesome knee pain and osteoarthritis symptoms!
Chronic knee pain is widely recognized by health care providers as one of the most difficult pain syndromes to manage and treat. We have been intensely working with people suffering these symptoms close to a decade.
Often after just a few treatments even patients with excruciating chronic knee pain – including bone on bone knee degeneration - are telling us AND SHOWING US how their pain levels, their swelling and their stiffness have decreased while their walking strength has increased. They are SHOCKED and THRILLED with the results.
Needless to say we are amazed every day and have gone on to create our unique Blueprint to Knee Pain for Osteoarthritis and chronic knee pain that has enabled our patients to reduce or even eliminate knee pain of the worst kind.
Even patients with excruciating chronic knee pain – including bone on bone knee degeneration - are TELLING US and SHOWING US how their pain levels, swelling, and stiffness have decreased while their walking strength has increased. They are SHOCKED and THRILLED with the results.
Best Chiro in OC Hands Down! – I have always been skeptical about Chiropractors, but after going to Dr. Richmond I have changed my mind. I have arthritis in my neck and knees. Dr. Richmond told me up front he can’t cure my arthritis but he could help my pain – and he certainly did that! When I leave the office I feel like I have been to a spa, physical therapy and a chiropractor all in the same location.
Incredible Care, Incredible Doctor, Incredible Staff!!!! Pretty much sums it up! Thank you for providing your patients all of these things. We truly appreciate your service and dedication!
