Hello and welcome! I’m Dr. Matthew Gianforte, a licensed Doctor of Chiropractic at Life Works Chiropractic Health Center, serving the greater Kansas City area.
I’ve created this forum to foster discussion on cutting-edge and proven techniques known to achieve pain relief, overall wellness, and combat disease. I hope you’ll join me here for questions and conversations on your health and wellness.
I’d like to begin by sharing with you a little background on what led me to Chiropractics. As a boy, I was an avid sports enthusiast. In fifth grade, I sprained my ankle right at the height of basketball season. When my doctor wrapped my ankle and recommended I don’t walk on it for two weeks, I was devastated—it meant an early end to my basketball season.
My dad decided to seek a second opinion and took me to see a Chiropractor. The Chiropractor had me walking pain-free and ready to roll in three days, back on the court the following week. It was through these eyes of a young child and discovering the differences in medical philosophies first-hand that I discovered how we can use our own bodies to heal ourselves. It was then I knew I had stumbled onto something that would intrigue me for the rest of my life.
It would take me years to learn the scope of what chiropractic care could accomplish, and the difference between Chiropractors themselves. There are some doctors who simply treat symptoms and others who not only alleviate pain, but also work with our entire bodies to stave off obesity, respiratory problems, disease—and even the “virus of the month” that always seems to be circulating in schools and the workplace. I practice the latter, treating immediate problems and preventing others from ever occurring.
I believe whole-heartedly in creating long-lasting relationships with my patients so I can track their health and progress and give them the tools they need to live a pain-free and healthy life. Located in the only licensed neurological relief center in Kansas City, I am 1 of only about 100 doctors in the U.S. who is licensed to effectively treat Fibromyalgia, symptoms of MS, Parkinson’s, chronic migraines, rheumatoid arthritis, and post surgery failures.
Are you in chronic pain? What courses of treatment have you tried? Have you thrown in the towel on medicine or chiropractic care and just decided to live with a certain level of pain? I hope you’ll open the door to a conversation that can change your life.
What questions do you have for me?
Until next time ~ be well,
Dr. Matt
