Dr. Richard Palma
I graduated from Liberty University in 2001 with a Bachelors Degree in Business Management. In 2005, I enrolled in the intensive 4-year doctorate program at the prestigious Life University College of Chiropractic in Marietta, GA. As a student intern, I worked directly with certified chiropractors to deliver the highest quality patient care. At the conclusion of my chiropractic education, I had the opportunity to work in a busy, family-based Chiropractic practice that served the community of Woodstock, Georgia. While there, I was able to treat patients of all ages, including infants, pregnant women, and elderly alike. I serve as the President of the Leeds Area Chamber of Commerce and vice-president of the Leeds Lions Club. I am a member of the Alabama State Chiropractic Association, and the Jefferson County Chiropractic Society. I am board certified by the Alabama Board of Chiropractic Examiners and the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners as a Doctor of Chiropractic.
While a student at Life University, I met my future wife Jill, also a chiropractic student, who was born and raised in Alabama. We moved to Leeds in 2010, and our son Brody attends Leeds Middle School and plays baseball in Leeds. We opened Leeds Family Chiropractic in March 2011. Together, my wife and I are grateful to be able to share our passion for life and health with those in the community of Leeds, as well as the greater Birmingham area.

I grew up in Alexander City, AL, with my mother, father, and two brothers. I graduated from Benjamin Russell High School and received a softball scholarship to Central Alabama Community College.

I feel that we have been led to this particular place in Alabama to provide an important service to our community. My family and I love being a part of the wonderful and friendly community of Leeds!
