Dr. Rick and Dr. Jill Palma are community leaders, parents, and owners of Leeds Family Chiropractic. They built their practice with the goal of providing the highest quality and most effective chiropractic care possible.

Rick and Jill met in chiropractic school, at Life University in Marietta, GA. They wed after graduating and began to look for a place to call home.

“We wanted to stay in the south because we have family in the area,” Jill said. “We were looking around Birmingham and just kept coming back to Leeds.”

They have been in Leeds ever since, opening their practice in March of 2011. Throughout the past five years, business has grown steadily for the practice. In September 2015, the Palma’s expanded their practice into the suite next to them, expanding the office to allow for more state-of-the-art therapy equipment and treatment rooms. Since opening, they have helped thousands of patients deal with aches, pains, injuries, and more.

The Palmas have done more than just impact the medical community in Leeds. The couple firmly believes that forming relationships and helping the community is a foundation for a strong business.

“We don’t just work here,” Dr. Rick Palma said. “We live here.”

Rick and Jill are raising their son, Brody in Leeds. Brody is a six grader at Leeds middle school, and the family is heavily involved in the Leeds sports programs. The Palma’s at-tend Church of the Highlands, and when they aren’t at the office treating patients, you’ll find them at the ballpark watching Brody play baseball. Dr. Rick is an avid outdoorsman and loves to play guitar, while Dr. Jill enjoys cooking and playing piano. Leeds Family Chiropractic has been involved with fundraising efforts for school programs.

The community integration is another way that the staff connects to patients. The husband and wife team helps patients to feel like they are part of a family.

“We want our patients to feel like family here,” Rick said. “We know their names and their medical history when they come in for an appointment, they are not just a number to us.”

When patients visit Leeds Family Chiropractic, they will have a full-service chiropractic experience. Because chiropractors are primary care physicians, patients do not need a referral to schedule an appointment. The office staff is trained in a variety of techniques, and performs all x-rays and tests in-house.

“We don’t want a patient to feel like they need to take the afternoon off work to come in for an appointment,” Rick said. “We understand how valuable their time is, and we want to try to help them as efficiently and effectively as possible”.

“We are passionate about helping people live pain-free lives, and to help them reach their maximum potential,” Rick said. “As chiropractors, we focus on diagnosis, treatment and prevention of spine disorders and misalignment, while enhancing a patient’s health and well-being without the use of drugs or surgery.”

The staff at Leeds Family Chiropractic believes that everyone can benefit from chiropractic care.

“We treat people of all ages, from newborns all the way up to folks in their 90’s,” Rick said. “We are all about helping people be able to live the kind of life they want to live.”

Both Rick and Jill work to stay on the cusp of the newest research being done in their field. Both doctors frequently attend seminars to stay current on the newest treatments available.

“We do everything we can to provide the best care possible for our patients,” Rick said. “Our office is state of the art, and our staff is very knowledgeable and ready to help out our patients and provide them with the best care possible.”

Every Monday night, Drs. Palma teach a patient orientation class, where they work to help patients learn more about how chiropractic works, and how the treatment works, so they can get the most out of their care.

They also host a “Dinner with the Doc” session where they discuss current health topics, treatments available, and how chiropractic can help. Most recently, they hosted a dinner on Fibromyalgia.

If you are suffering from neck, back, arm, or leg pain, numbness and tingling, headaches or Fibromyalgia, chiropractic care can help you! Please call (205) 699-6600 and schedule your appointment today. Mention this article when you call to receive a 5th anniversary offer!
