Who is Dr. Rita and how is she different?

Dr. Rita was raised nearby in Alexis, IL and attended the University of Iowa where she earned her BA in Spanish and studied in Seville, Spain as an exchange student. 

After learning the philosophy that the power that made the body can heal the body, she decided to pursue a career in Chiropractic. In 2009, Dr. Rita N. Yarde graduated from Parker College of Chiropractic with a BS degree in Anatomy, a BS in Health and Wellness, and her Doctor of Chiropractic degree.

The first step in any lifestyle changing process is to choose someone who will serve as a healer, an educator, a motivator, and a friend. Dr. Rita spends time with each patient to learn about their unique situation. She is then able to help them incorporate the proper lifestyle changes which will enhance their health and lead to a life of wellness. 

Dr. Rita chooses a very gentle chiropractic technique in adjusting not only the spine but extremities as well. She includes muscular therapies and sinus massage as needed. Since Dr. Rita has also received training in Reiki and other energy and emotional techniques, they will naturally a part of her treatment. Before every adjustment, each patient is balanced to ensure that (s)he is in a healing state in order to enhance the patient's response to treatment.  

You will be comfortable and relaxed throughout your treatment. Dr. Rita's style of low-force adjustments gently re-align the body, allowing it to heal itself.
