What it is

Adjustments that address the cause, not the symptom.

Chiropractic adjustment restores proper motion to joints that have become restricted. When the spine and joints move the way they're supposed to, the surrounding muscles stop overcompensating and the nervous system can communicate more efficiently with the rest of the body.

Every adjustment at Birch starts with a conversation. Dr. Birch takes the time to understand what's actually driving your discomfort before recommending a plan — and he performs every adjustment personally, never handing you off to an assistant.

Common questions

Chiropractic care, answered.

Call (816) 491-8000 →

Is chiropractic care safe?

It's widely recognized as one of the safest non-invasive therapies for neuromusculoskeletal complaints. Our approach emphasizes gentle, effective techniques tailored to your comfort level.

Do adjustments hurt?

Most patients find adjustments comfortable and feel relief immediately after. If manual adjustment isn't right for you, Dr. Birch also uses an activator — a gentler, low-force instrument.

How many treatments will I need?

It depends on your condition, its severity, and how long you've had it. After your initial assessment we'll give you an estimate of recommended frequency and duration, then reassess as you progress.

Do I need a referral?

No referral is needed. Call us directly at (816) 491-8000 or claim the New Patient Special online to get started.

Do you accept insurance?

We do not accept insurance, but offer a variety of flexible payment options to make care accessible. Contact our office before your visit to discuss options.
