About Richard...
Richard Gibbon Pain Consultant Richard is a Pain Consultant because he has spent almost 20 years primarily treating pain. He has developed many specific treatments for individuals suffering from chronic pain. Each of his treatments incorporate an understanding that each person is an individual and requires attention to his/her physical, emotional and metabolic selves. Richard always assesses these three important foundations of each of his patients. He has found this to be the key to determining the root cause of pain. |  |
