708 Ash Boulevard
Doctors at Middletown
2 chiropractors work out of 708 Ash Boulevard. They share an approach but not a specialty, so it is worth two minutes to pick the right one.
Auto-accident patients, work-injury cases, growing families in Middletown’s new neighborhoods, and Townsend/Odessa residents who want care close to home. This is Ash Boulevard off Route 301 — not Main Street Middletown, not Stanton Christiana Road, and not a shockwave clinic.
Middletown team
All 2 doctors at this office
Full bio, credentials, and technique detail for each doctor on this bench.
Dr. Ken Decker, D.C.
Partner in Smyrna with two decades of chiropractic practice, a UD background, and a reputation for treating families for decades — not visits.
Dr. Todd A. Richardson, D.C.
Partner in Middletown specializing in auto accidents, work injuries, whiplash, extremities, and manipulation under anesthesia.
Which one should you ask for?
For ordinary low back or neck pain, whoever has the next opening. All 2 run the same 60-to-90-minute first exam and all of them will tell you if your case belongs with a colleague.
Car crash or work injury? Dr. Todd A. Richardson has injury-documentation training, which matters because these cases need range of motion measured and findings recorded in the format adjusters and attorneys accept. Around here that usually means auto accidents and work injuries — Dr. Todd Richardson’s core caseload in this building.
Do not want to be “cracked”? Every doctor here can use a low-force instrument instead of a manual thrust. Say so when you book. If you specifically want Activator Methods, Dr. Becky Leary specializes in that at the Camden/Dover office.
If you are not sure, say what is wrong when you call (302) 449-0149 and the desk will book you with the right person rather than the next available slot.
What this team can do in Middletown
On site at 708 Ash Boulevard: chiropractic, massage, spinal decompression, and injury rehab. Shockwave is at Newark, Wilmington, and Smyrna — not here.
Between them the Middletown doctors are trained in Diversified, Gonstead, Cox Flexion-Distraction, Activator Methods, Rehabilitation-Based Chiropractic, Manipulation Under Anaesthesia, Extremity Adjusting. That breadth is the point — technique is chosen from what the exam finds, so having more than one option in the building means fewer patients get sent away or given an adjustment that does not suit them.
The people who come through this office most are shaped by where it sits: Route 301 South near Middletown-Warwick Road in the MOT (Middletown–Odessa–Townsend) area. That means MOT construction, plant and warehouse work, and growing-subdivision commutes, plus work-from-home necks in the new MOT developments. Hours are Monday–Thursday 8:30am–12:30pm and 2:00pm–6:00pm, Friday 8:30am–12:30pm; closed weekends.
