Chiropractic is a health care discipline which emphasizes the inherent recuperative power of the body to heal itself without the use of drugs and surgery. The practice of chiropractic focuses on the relationship between structure (primarily the spine) and function (as coordinated by the nervous system) and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health.

Chiropractic Care in Overland Park
Every initial visit with the doctor begins with a consultation, examination(s), posture assessment and digital X-rays (if needed) in order to accurately diagnose the cause of your pain. If the doctor feels chiropractic care is the right approach for you, you will receive an adjustment, and be scheduled for a follow-up appointment to go over all the findings. This first visit to our practice will be about you getting to know your doctor, and a chance for us to get to know you!
At the follow-up appointment, the doctor will explain your current condition(s) and goals, your X-rays and posture assessment, and your Report of Findings and recommended Treatment Plan. From that point, you will be able to ask any questions you might have and choose the course of action you would like to take to begin your journey to a pain-free lifestyle.
What Chiropractors Do
Chiropractors are primarily concerned with locating and treating vertebral subluxations.
A vertebral subluxation is a complex of functional and/or structural and/or pathological articular (joint) changes that compromise neural integrity and may influence organ system function and general health.
Using a number of unique and highly refined skills, the chiropractor checks the patient's spine for any misalignments, fixations or other abnormalities (vertebral subluxations). If subluxations or other abnormalities are detected, the chiropractor will generally apply a gentle force in a corrective manner to the affected spinal area.
Chiropractors use many specialized techniques to identify and treat these spinal abnormalities and optimize overall health. In addition to spinal adjustive techniques, soft tissue techniques such as massage, dietary and nutritional counseling, physical therapies, and lifestyle modification programs are commonly employed.
How is Chiropractic Different
There is a significant and very important difference between the way chiropractors and medical doctors approach health ailments.
When evaluating and treating patients, chiropractors take a holistic approach which includes identifying and correcting the cause(s) of the patient's health ailment. In contrast, the medical approach tends to focus more on the treating the symptoms of a condition rather than focusing primarily on the actual cause(s).
Chiropractors believe that correcting the cause of the problem provides significant long-term benefits over only treating the symptoms.
