Meet the Team

Dr. Richard Ziarkowski

Otherwise known as “Dr. Z”

I grew up in Lackawanna, NY and graduated from the New York Chiropractic College where I obtained my Doctor of Chiropractic in 1998.  I am certified in the following: the Koren Technique in 2007, the Kennedy Decompression Technique in 2008, the Neuromechanical Technique in 2009 and the Whitten Technique in 2014. I not only come up with personalized treatment plans for my patients, but I was the first to provide affordable decompression to Western New York. I am the owner of both Universal Chiropractic and South Buffalo Chiropractic. My Chiropractic focus is on cooperative multidisciplinary care, patient-centered quality treatment, and in-depth post-surgical spine rehab. My passion is in living a healthy lifestyle and encouraging my patients to do the same. My mission is to help insure that our patients have the highest possible “quality of life.” To improve their health through personal dedication and cutting-edge medical technology. To help them heal, without surgery, in the most affordable manner possible.
