About Us
For over 20 years, Health Link has been working with patients to heal their bodies and improve everyday wellness. Our practice goes beyond simply addressing symptoms — we focus on the connected nature of your body, your stressors, and your life.
Every part of a healthy body is linked, from the nervous system to the skeletal and muscular systems and beyond. By removing interferences in the nervous system, the adjustments our doctors make can have long-term positive impacts on your body.
Our team of chiropractic doctors address your specific issues with care. Just as your nervous system serves your body, we serve you. Whether it’s chiropractic care, massage, acupuncture, or as health partners, we’re here to help along your path to optimal wellness.

Dr. Moses R. Wahl — Chiropractor
Dr. Moses Wahl grew up in a suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. After seeing how chiropractic care helped his father through lumbar disc issues and sciatic pain for many years, Dr. Wahl decided to become a chiropractor. He graduated from Shippensburg University in 2003 and became a Doctor of Chiropractic at New York Chiropractic College in 2006. Dr. Wahl joined the practice in 2007, and was named “Top Doc in Richmond” in both 2012 and 2017.
Dr. Wahl takes a caring ‘whole person’ approach to wellness by guiding patients to address the life stresses that negatively affect them, thus increasing the health and healing potential of the nervous system. This approach to aiding the body in ‘self-healing and self-regulating’ helps patients become empowered and less dependent upon traditional drugs and medicine.
He is also a husband, a father of two, an active church member, and enjoys coaching his son’s soccer team. Focusing on wellness is an important part of Dr. Wahl’s life, because health is so challenging to regain once it has started to decline. It is for this reason he believes in the need to be more proactive and less reactive when it comes to your health!

Dr. Read has worked on professional dancers and athletes in the NBA, NFL and Major League Baseball. A large part of his practice has been working with local equestrians and attending jumping events.
