Meet Dr. Megan Richard

Dr. Megan Richard, D.O. (pronounced "Dr. Ree-shard") is a board-certified Physiatrist (Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation physician) through the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. She completed medical school and a pre-doctoral fellowship in Osteopathic Manual Medicine at Des Moines University, followed by residency in PM&R at the University of Texas San Antonio. A native Coloradan, she returned home in 2019 to begin practicing.


PM&R training takes a holistic view of the patient—looking beyond a single condition to how functional deficits affect every part of life. It's a natural fit for complex medical cases, and it shapes Dr. Richard's collaborative, team-based approach to care.


She blends her training and passion for manual and myofascial medicine—osteopathic manipulative treatment, dry needling, trigger point injections, cupping, and myofascial scraping—with her broader knowledge and training in PM&R, including joint injections, electrodiagnostics (EMG/NCS), and exercise and lifestyle medicine. This combination allows her to build personalized, integrative plans that meet each patient where they are.

Dr. Richard will start seeing patients with Foundations Physiatry in September 2026. Online appointments coming soon.

  • " Absolute gem of a Dr as well as a person. Any anxiety I have going into an appointment immediately goes out the door when she walks in. I'm never made to feel like a burden or like I'm monopolizing her time. I always look forward to seeing her, and enjoy geeking out over similar interests and knowledge. She helps to make my world with POTS and EDS, etc a much less scary place."

  • "I absolutely adore Dr Richard. She listens and offers detailed solutions. Her care and concern for her patients shine through in every interaction. I refer her to people I meet with similar conditions and will never go anywhere else. She is amazing!"

  • "Dr. Richard is one of the most caring, intelligent and helpful physicians I've ever had the pleasure of working with."

  • "She is kind, caring, compassionate, empathetic, and very knowledgeable."

  • "Dr. Richard and her team went above and beyond to ensure I was able to get the treatment I needed. Their dedication resulted in reducing my pain during a situation that easily could have resulted in me needing to come back weeks later."
