The Joint Chiropractic - Parmer

Dr. Marc Richardson has been freeing people from pain in the Austin area since 2004. As a Chiropractor with experience, Dr. Richardson has been committed to promoting the health and well being of his patients since graduating from the Texas Chiropractic College in 2001. He is also a veteran of the United States Navy and served during the Gulf War. He was stationed on the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier. Upon detachment from active enlistment of the Navy, Dr. Richardson obtained a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Human Biology and a degree for Doctor of Chiropractic. He then became an associate doctor and treated injured workers and automobile accident victims. From 2001 to 2003, Dr. Richardson accomplished a year of post-graduate studies in sports injury, nutrition and rehabilitation. He also has obtained many post-graduate hours of specialized training in personal injury, auto accident treatment, x-ray interpretation, holistic approaches to patient care, and biomechanical effects of the sports injury. If you want some tips or information on exercise or working out, Dr. Richardson is an excellent resource due to his vast experience and education on the subject.

Dr. Richardson enjoys spending time with his wife MJ and seven children and now expecting baby number eight in February. The busiest time of the year for him and his family is football season as we have three children playing in the youth league and Leander High School.

Dr. Richardson uses a whole person approach to treating each patient. This approach to wellness means looking for underlying causes of any disturbance or disruption (which may or may not be causing symptoms at the time) and make whatever interventions and lifestyle adjustments that would optimize the conditions for normal function. Using this unique approach, Dr. Richardson is able to help you to accelerate and/or maintain your journey to good health.

Dr. Jessica Duckett, D.C. was born and raised in El Paso, TX. She moved to Dallas to spread her wings and find her dream career. Along her path, her husband Rob, injured his back and could not find relief other than surgery. They searched for an alternate solution and found Chiropractic care. Through Chiropractic care, he found the relief he was looking for, and Dr. Duckett found her future. While attending Parker University, Dr. Duckett earned Bachelors in Science Anatomy, Bachelors in Science Health and Wellness, and her Chiropractic degree.

“‘The power that made the body heals the body. –BJ Palmer’, is something I say daily.” She says the best part of her day is getting to know her patients and their stories.

Dr. Duckett joined The Joint family April 2018 and is excited to serve the people at the Parmer Lane location.

In her spare time, she enjoys riding her motorcycle, golfing, bowling, sewing and Karaoke.

In Case You Didn’t Know

The one thing in Dr. Duckett’s refrigerator that she can’t do without is Cholula –“Everything is better with a little spice,” she says. Her perfect dinner party would include Nikola Tesla, Jeff Keith, Dr. James Parker and Anne Frank. The coolest thing she has ever done is traveled Europe. “My history books came to life on my travels. It is something everybody needs to do.”
