The Connecticut Chiropractic Council recently reflected on the profound privilege of hosting Dr. Riekeman at their Fall Conference. His presence, wisdom, and unwavering commitment to chiropractic principles left a permanent impact on all who attended. He was not only a dedicated doctor but also a generous supporter of initiatives like the Chiropractor Legacy Program, strategically investing in the profession’s future.
