Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractic adjustments restore proper spinal alignment to alleviate pain and improve nervous system function. This hands-on technique addresses musculoskeletal issues caused by injury, poor posture, or repetitive strain. Patients experience reduced inflammation, increased mobility, and accelerated healing through targeted manual adjustments performed by our board-certified doctors.
Deep Tissue Laser
Class IV deep tissue laser therapy delivers concentrated light energy to damaged tissues, stimulating cellular repair and reducing inflammation. This non-thermal treatment effectively addresses chronic pain, sports injuries, and post-surgical recovery by enhancing blood circulation and accelerating tissue regeneration without invasive procedures or medication side effects.
Acupuncture
Board-certified practitioners perform acupuncture to balance energy flow and stimulate natural healing processes. By inserting ultra-fine needles at specific meridian points, this ancient practice alleviates chronic pain, reduces stress, and improves circulation. We integrate modern pain management techniques with traditional Chinese medicine principles for comprehensive wellness outcomes.
Spinal Decompression
Computer-controlled spinal decompression gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on compressed discs and nerve roots. This FDA-cleared treatment effectively addresses herniated discs, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease by creating negative pressure that promotes nutrient-rich fluid exchange and disc rehydration over multiple sessions.
Nutritional Testing
SpectraCell's advanced nutritional assessment identifies specific vitamin and mineral deficiencies through blood analysis. Our practitioners develop personalized supplementation plans based on test results, addressing underlying nutritional imbalances that contribute to chronic conditions and supporting overall wellness through targeted dietary interventions.

Dr. MCINTOSH is the best in the Kansas City area! Very knowledgeable and always addresses my issues. I always feel so much better after my visits. I was hurting for months and I felt much better after the visit. Her office is clean. Asia and the rest of her staff is always very friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this office to anyone. Tania Edwards

I've been to a lot of chiropractors, and Dr. Mcintosh is the best in the business hands down. Great staff - Asia and others always take care of you and make the visit personable.

Tried this place for back pain and sciatica, but unfortunately it was not anywhere near the care I expected or needed. The staff was friendly enough, after enduring some sketchy video about my "pain relief journey", the adjustment itself was kind of scary. I've been to chiropractors before, I know the drill. but this was the first time I ever left a chiropractic office not feeling better, but actually a bit worse. Dr. McIntosh seemed really nice, but then I feel like she just beat me up.
Too fast, too much. My main concerns were my back/lower back and left leg with sciatic pain, and she asked me if my neck hurt. I said No, and proceeded to adjust it anyway which just made it sore. After she adjusted me she said she wanted to see me 3 times a week. I want to believe these people want to help, but it's not really what they showed me. They showed me the want to pay the rent on their fancy Plaza office.
They didn't advise me on any exercises I could do on my own to improve my pain, and the spinal decompression I said I wanted to do that day never happened either. just really disappointed and out $95. find somewhere else if you're hurting.

Point blank: they are the best. Lynn McIntosh, D.C., is the type of chiropractor who is genuine, and actually LISTENS to her patients; I find that rare these days. Can we also talk about Asia? If there is anybody who wants to experience true customer service, Asia embodies that and more. Smiling faces greet me every appointment, and after each session or laser therapy, steps towards reaching my best self are achieved. Kansas City Chiropractic is professional with high standards. Definitely worth checking out if you're in need feeling physical and mental improvement!
