Dr. Rick Murphy is a chiropractor and founder of Origin Spine and Wellness, specializing in chronic pain, chronic fatigue, and complex cases that haven’t responded to traditional care. He combines detailed, hands-on chiropractic care with a whole-person view of stress, movement, and lifestyle to help patients return to the activities they value most.
Before becoming a chiropractor, Dr. Murphy served as a Naval Officer in the U.S. Submarine Force after graduating from the U.S. Naval Academy. That experience shaped his commitment to disciplined problem-solving, clear communication, and taking responsibility for the people under his care.
Dr. Murphy is a Doctor of Chiropractic and is certified in Applied Kinesiology, Neuro Emotional Technique, and Functional Medicine. He regularly pursues advanced training in mind-body and functional approaches to support patients dealing with long-standing pain, fatigue, and nervous system dysregulation.
Outside the clinic, he is a fifth-degree black belt in martial arts and a lifelong student of movement and performance. Patients appreciate his calm, thorough style and the time he takes to explain what he finds and how their care plan will move them toward lasting change.
