We’re wrapping up the first week of Best of Johnson County winner announcements with a look at some of the standouts from the Medical, Dental & Health categories. Congrats to these providers for earning the trust of Johnson Countians with their expertise and care!
Best Chiropractic Clinic: Active Family Chiropractic
For over a decade now, Johnson Countians have been turning to Active Family Chiropractic in Overland Park to help them address a wide range of musculoskeletal system issues, from injury recovery to back and hip pain — issues that Drs. Chad and Curt Welter, the brothers who run the practice, know first hand.
“We grew up playing a lot of sports and had some injuries along the way,” said Chad. “I hurt my shoulder riding bulls and my brother hurt his knee wakeboarding. We thought it was neat how the chiropractor we saw helped us get out of pain and speed up the recovery process.”
Today, the Welters offer a variety of cutting edge services and treatments, including state-of-the-art technology like High Intensity Laser Therapy.
“We get quite a few complicated cases referred to us since we have a High Intensity Laser Therapy and our history with helping others,” Chad said. “Just about everyday we have a new patient with terrible sciatica which makes it tough to do simple things such as stand up or getting dressed. Most of the time we’re able to get them back to doing the things they love without pain.”
Whether it’s a kid having pain from an injury or a senior with sciatica or arthritic pain in their joints or an adult with headaches and migraines, the doctors at Active Family Chiropractic take pride in being able to get to the root of the problem and fixing it.
Active Family Chiropractic is located at 8917 W. 135th Street in Overland Park. Check out their website here for more information or to schedule your visit.
