Who We Are
Chiropractor
Dr. Richard Cutting, D.C.
Dr. Richard Cutting is the founder of Cutting Edge Chiropractic. After multiple surgeries related to sports injuries, he was told long-term pain medication might be part of his future.

Dr. Cutting earned his Bachelor of Science in Biology from Eastern Connecticut State University in 2009. He continued his education at Logan College of Chiropractic in St. Louis, where he earned a Bachelor of Life Sciences in 2010 and his Doctor of Chiropractic degree in 2012. He regularly pursues continuing education in areas including sports injuries, nutrition, extremity adjusting, pediatrics, and neurology. He takes a practical, patient-centered approach to care and offers a range of treatment options designed to help patients reduce pain, improve function, and stay active. In addition to chiropractic care, he also incorporates shockwave therapy, laser therapy, and acupuncture when appropriate to support each patient's goals. Dr. Cutting works with a wide range of patients, from athletes to busy parents to people who want to move better and feel better in everyday life. Outside the office, he values time with his wife and two kids.
