Rice Chiropractic Life Center "The Staff"

		Dr. Ronald Rice "Serve for the sake of serving, give for the sake of giving and love for the sake of loving." Dr. Ronald Rice graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1968. He established the Rice Chiropractic Center in Oregon, Il in February 1969 and practiced there until 1975. In September 1975 he and his family moved to Dekalb and established the Rice Chiropractic Life Center. For the past thirty two years Dr. Rice has provided chiropractic care to the families of DeKalb County. He established a “free” children’s clinic as a way of thanking the families for giving him the opportunity to care for their chiropractic health needs. The clinic is free on Tuesday and Thursday for all kids age birth through high school. A family type practice was established with a reduced fee for families receiving care on the same day of the week. They also have a very active senior citizen practice and our doctors are “assigned providers” for Medicare which means we wait for payment from Medicare for the services we provide. We also accept Medicaid patients and their families. Patients who have been injured at work or involved in personal or auto accidents are welcomed at our office. Dr. Rice is assisted by Dr. Theodore Paul in caring for their patients. Dr. Rice’s daughter Courtney is active in the practice as the Licensed Massage Therapist. His son Brent is the Office Manager responsible for overseeing the clerical duties of the clinic as well as taking care of the day to day needs of the clinic staff as they provide the necessary paperwork to bill insurance, collect fees, and all the other various duties of clinic staff. The staff of Rice Chiropractic Life Center have a faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and dedicate their office daily in service to Him.
