River Ridge Chiropractic has served the Asheville community since the year 2000. Dr. Bart and his staff invite you to learn more about their practice and get in touch with any questions you have.
BART HODGINS, DC
Dr. Bart Hodgins grew up in rural Alberta, Canada. He graduated from Western States Chiropractic College in Portland, Oregon in 1997. He enjoys an active lifestyle with his wife and two sons. His enthusiasm for life is contagious.
In the ten years that Dr. Hodgins has been in practice he has developed a comprehensive approach to health care that supports the patient on multiple levels. In treating a person holistically and combining chiropractic, spinal decompression, acupuncture, herbal therapy, orthotics, exercise, diet, and orthopedic supports, Dr. Hodgins often can find faster and more lasting approaches to both common and more concerning health issues.
