About Schumacher Chiropractic Center in Kansas City

We've been delivering quality chiropractic care to the Kansas City community since 1966.

Our approach is simple. We believe that health is among our most valuable possessions. And while we generally meet people after they’ve lost their health, our commitment is two-fold:

1.  Relief Care for Kansas City
Relief or wellness care... it's your choice.

When many people seek care in our office they have one goal: relief. So that’s where we start! During this initial stage of intensive care, we have several obligations:

  • Uncover the underlying cause of the health problem
  • Suggest a care plan to produce the fastest results possible
  • Offer ways patients can participate in their recovery
  • Explain the value of post-symptomatic wellness care
2.  Corrective Care for Kansas City

Although pain is a strong motivatior, it is important to understand that pain is a symptom, a warning sign if you will, to say that something is wrong.  However, pain is usually the last thing to show up and the first thing to go.  The problem probably originated long before the pain started, so it is likely that some degree of the problem will still exist after we've relieved the pain.  During corrective care, we continue to address the unstable joint(s) to rehabilitate and stregthen.

3.  Wellness Care for Kansas City

We encourage our patients to achieve the highest levels of health they can. Through educational opportunities (like this website), we hope to communicate the value of ongoing chiropractic care. Our desire is to see our practice members abandon the prevailing sickness care model of health (waiting for symptoms and then taking action), in favor of the emerging wellness model.

You’re the Boss

Regardless of your health goals, please understand that we see ourselves as mere servants. You’re the boss! It’s your body, your health and your future. Our job is to offer you the finest chiropractic care possible, and it’s up to you to decide how much of it you want.

 Dr. Mark Asks some important questions of interest to Kansas City residents - Chiropractor Kansas City Dr. Mark Asks...

Are chiropractors just concerned with the spine?
Our interest in the spine is because it covers the major communications conduit between your brain and your body. As a Kansas City chiropractor my job is to locate areas (usually along the spine) that interfere with proper nerve communications to and from your brain. Chiropractic adjustments help restore nervous system integrity. In this way, chiropractic care can affect the function of your entire body.
How does headache medication find the headache?
It can't! Chiropractors know that when you ingest a drug and it enters your bloodstream it numbs or deadens your entire body. Chiropractic adjustments, on the other hand, are specific, targeted and delivered with precision.
