Meet Dr. Cleo S. Riffey, D.C.
A Chiropractor Who Understands Your Doubts
“We love skeptics,” says Dr. Cleo. “I understand the doubts—I had my own when I first sought treatment. That’s why we make it a point to explain everything thoroughly and demonstrate our methods before starting care. Our motto is simple: treat each patient with the same level of care we’d want for ourselves.”
Dr. Riffey’s Personal Journey to Chiropractic Care
As a college student, Dr. Riffey lived with chronic back pain for two years, visiting doctor after doctor with no lasting relief. On the verge of graduating as a teacher, she finally found a chiropractor, and everything changed. She was fascinated by the idea of healing the whole body by restoring nerve function to alleviate symptoms. Now she understands firsthand what it’s like to live with chronic pain—and the profound relief that comes from effective care.
Education and Expertise
After graduating from Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey, Dr. Riffey pursued her chiropractic education at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. She graduated with honors and was privileged to teach there. For many years, she has been an Advanced Proficiency-rated practitioner in the Activator Method, with additional training in Applied Kinesiology.
A Holistic Approach to Healing
Throughout her career, Dr. Riffey has been passionate about teaching stress reduction and energetic balancing techniques to both her patients and the broader community. At Riffey Chiropractic and Alternative Health, the team has discovered that the mind-body connection and knowledge of the acupuncture system play vital roles in helping people find relief from pain.
Dr. Riffey authored Transforming Stress to Wonder: The Wondershift Process, a self-help guide that introduces her unique method for reducing stress and creating positive shifts in life. It’s designed to help people work their own miracles.
The California Story
Dr. Riffey’s California adventure began in 1990 when she moved her two children to Northern California from Tulsa, Oklahoma. They thrived on the California sun and regular adjustments! Since then, she has enjoyed bringing health solutions to her wonderful patients at Riffey Chiropractic and Alternative Health. Dr. Riffey continues to follow a path rich with training and information in advanced and diverse areas of healing.
Her quest is simple: to help more people rely less on drugs and more on their own inner strength to be and stay well.
