Meet Dr. Richelle Knowles, DC
Experienced Chiropractic Care With a Big-Picture Lens
For almost 30 years, Dr. Richelle Knowles has served individuals and families through chiropractic care in Boulder. Her approach is grounded, attentive, and clear. She listens closely, explains what she’s seeing, and helps people understand how their bodies are adapting over time.
NetworkSpinal Focus and Advanced Clinical Training
Dr. Richelle has advanced training, specialization, and proficiency in this treatment method and is also a certified Total Solution Surface EMG graduate. These credentials reflect her commitment to techniques that consider the nervous system’s role in how the body organizes, responds, and functions. She has been in private practice since 1999, and she continues to refine her skill set through ongoing education and teaching.
Practice members often appreciate Dr. Richelle’s ability to connect the dots. Whether it’s a lingering pattern, a stuck stress response, or a sense that the body is “working hard but not moving forward,” she helps people make sense of what they’re experiencing and what care may look like from here.
Her style is professional and approachable, with plenty of real-world perspective.
Research, Publications, and Professional Credibility
Dr. Richelle has contributed to published research in peer-reviewed chiropractic journals, including case-based outcomes related to spinal curves and neurological function. She has also been involved in research processes that have received institutional review board approval for human outcomes work. That academic involvement matters because it reflects a consistent focus on measurable results and professional accountability, not trends.
In addition to her clinical work, she has served in meaningful leadership roles that help guide the chiropractic profession. She served on the Colorado Board of Chiropractic Examiners from 2011 to 2015, is a member of IFCO (the International Federation of Chiropractors and Organizations) since 2014, served on its Board of Directors in 2016, and has remained active in professional organizations since.

Life in Colorado
