Services
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care focuses on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal issues through spinal adjustments. This service alleviates back pain, headaches, and neck pain by restoring proper body alignment. Our techniques improve overall function and mobility, addressing root causes of discomfort rather than just symptoms.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy restores movement and strength through targeted exercises and manual therapy. We treat post-injury or post-surgical conditions, enhancing recovery. Our approach includes posture retraining, balance improvement, and pain management to support long-term physical health and functional independence.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves inserting thin needles at specific points to promote natural healing and pain relief. This ancient practice addresses chronic pain, stress, and various health conditions. We use evidence-based methods to ensure safe, effective treatments that align with modern medical standards.
Orthotics
Custom orthotics correct foot alignment issues to improve posture and reduce pain. Using advanced scanning technology, we create personalized shoe inserts that alleviate discomfort in feet, knees, hips, and the back. This service enhances mobility and prevents long-term musculoskeletal issues.
Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback trains the brain to self-regulate through real-time monitoring. This non-invasive therapy addresses ADHD, anxiety, and sleep disorders by normalizing brainwave patterns. Our sessions use cutting-edge technology to improve focus, emotional stability, and overall cognitive function.

Dr. Wayne and his son, Dr. Carlos are both exceptional Chiropractors. My wife has been struggling with severe headaches for many, many years. After just one visit with Dr. Wayne Bateman, those headache symptoms were completely gone! He not only made my wife feel better in just minutes but took the time to explain everything to us as I was standing by her side as he did it! I have been using their services as well.
This place is one of the few places that the Kansas City V.A. approves of for their veterans. They pay for all my visits to this office. We both are incredibly happy to have found this practice! Kudos to everyone there from the office staff, who were very polite and attentive, all the way up the chain. If you want to feel better without having to use a plethora of different medications, book an appointment today. You won't be disappointed!

I was hesitant, never having been to the chiropractor. Dr. Shelby put me at ease. I walked out of there with relief in my neck and head. They gained a new patient for life. Thank you Dr. Shelby
