Elite Chiropractic Gives Back

We love this community and its ability to come together in good times and bad.  Many patients and community members have reached out to purchase HydroMassage Session.  This is a great way to support Elite Chiropractic as a small business, give back to the community we love and treat yourself as well!  We know the stress of the current COVID-19 situation can cause tension on the body.

During the month of April, Elite Chiropractic is donating 50% of all HydroMassage profits to the Baldwin City Emergency Fund.  These are hands free massages that can be purchased now and used later or even given as a gift!  

1 (15 minute) session is $20 or you can buy 6 (15 minute) sessions for $100.  Together, we can make a positive impact during this trying time!

Call 785-594-1191 to purchase and/or schedule.  As mentioned before, they can also be used at a later date!

We will continue to stay open and serve patients during this time.  Chiropractic care is deemed essential and is important for us to stay open to help the medical community treat musculoskeletal complaints.  Give us a call with any questions.

Finding the "Best Chiropractor near me"

“How do I find the best chiropractor in my area?”

I get this question a lot from inquiring minds, and understandably so. When going to a chiropractor, I always say “it’s like a box of chocolates”.  Every chiropractor practices differently.  Some strictly perform               manual adjustments, some use an activator adjustment, some do therapies to help speed up recovery, some take insurance, and there are some that do none of the above!

Finding the right chiropractor in your area may take some research.   If I was looking for a new chiropractor, I would first ask some of my friends that use chiropractic.  Word of mouth referrals are the best way to find a new chiropractor.  Next, I would check out the chiropractor’s website and their google reviews.  It’s another way to see what other’s have experienced at that particular chiropractor.  If you are new to your area and are unfamiliar with the offices in your town, a simple google search of “chiropractors near me” or “best chiropractor in Baldwin City (or whatever town you are searching for)” can help get you started.

If you have found a chiropractor that you love, keep going there!  Lastly, don’t give up if you’ve had a bad experience at a chiropractic office.  Chiropractic care works!! Simply trying a new chiropractor with a different approach may be what you needed to get the results you deserve.

As always, we are here for you.  We have a large network of chiropractors all over the U.S. that we refer to so just ask!

Pain, Pain, Go AWAY! Headache addition

What type of headache do you typically have?

The word ‘headaches’ can vary depending on the location and severity.  In general, most patients tend to have a similar, reoccurring type. Luckily, there is a treatment for these headaches that doesn’t involve taking aspirin every 4-6 hours.

One of the most common types of headaches we treat in the office is cervicogenic headaches.   This particular type of headache starts at the base of your skull and migrates over the top of your head.  Cervicogenic headaches are caused by a mechanical issue within the body, such as tight neck muscles or restricted motion in the spine.

The best way to treat a mechanical issue is with a mechanical solution.  Our office prides itself on getting the best results by combining neck adjustments with soft tissue therapy.  This provides more range of motion in the neck and allows the tight muscles to relax, which takes some pressure off the base of the skull.  

Red Flag Headache Symptoms:

• Sudden, unfamiliar headache

• “The worse headache I have ever had”

• Dizziness

• Difficulty walking

• Difficulty speaking

If you are experiencing these symptoms seek medical attention (Primary Care Dr. / Emergency Room)
