Conditions We Treat
Whether your pain started after a specific injury or built up slowly over time, I focus on treating the underlying mechanical cause—not just masking symptoms.
Neck Pain
- Stiffness, sharp pain, or pain that travels into the shoulders or arms may be related to irritated joints, discs, or nerves in your neck.
- Learn about neck pain treatment
Low Back Pain
- From mild aching to severe, sharp pain with movement, I evaluate your lumbar joints, discs, and posture to find what’s driving your low back pain.
- See how we treat low back pain
Headaches & Migraines
- Many tension headaches, cervicogenic headaches, and migraines are influenced by neck mechanics and nerve irritation—chiropractic care can help.
- Headache and migraine relief options
Disc Bulges & Herniations
- Lumbar or cervical disc issues can cause deep, sharp pain, burning, or numbness. Spinal/vertebral decompression can reduce disc pressure and support healing.
- Learn about disc bulge treatment
Sciatica & Leg Pain
- Burning, tingling, or shooting pain down the leg is often caused by nerve irritation in the low back. I combine adjustments and decompression to address the source.
- Relief options for sciatica
Car Accident & Whiplash Injuries
- Even “minor” collisions can overstretch ligaments and irritate discs and joints. I document your injuries, coordinate care, and help you recover properly.

Services that Support You
Services Designed to Help You Heal Faster
Your treatment plan can include a combination of gentle chiropractic adjustments, spinal/vertebral decompression, and hydromassage to improve how your spine moves and how your body feels.
Chiropractic Adjustment
- I use gentle, precise adjustments to improve joint motion, reduce irritation, and restore proper movement patterns. Techniques are always tailored to your comfort level—no “one-size-fits-all” approach.
Spinal/Vertebral Decompression
- Non-surgical spinal decompression uses computer-controlled traction to gently relieve pressure on irritated discs and nerves. This is especially helpful for disc bulges, sciatica, and radicular pain into the arms or legs.
Hydromassage Therapy
- Fully clothed, you’ll relax on a hydromassage bed while pressurized water jets ease muscle tension, improve circulation, and help your body respond better to adjustments and decompression.

Why Patients Choose Woodroof Chiropractic & Acupuncture
You have options when choosing an Olathe chiropractor. Here’s how I do things differently.
Same-Day Appointments
- When you’re in pain, you shouldn’t wait weeks. I do everything I can to see new patients the same day or the very next day.
Accurate Diagnoses, Not Guesswork
- I take the time to listen, examine, and explain what’s causing your pain so you understand the “why” behind your treatment plan.
Spinal/Vertebral Decompression for Disc & Nerve Pain
- Many offices don’t offer decompression. I use it to help patients with disc bulges, sciatica, and radiating arm or leg pain.
Hydromassage Included With Your Care
- Hydromassage helps your muscles relax so adjustments and decompression work even better.
295+ 5-Star Google Reviews
- Patients consistently describe visits as thorough, friendly, and focused on real, lasting relief.
Family-Friendly, No-Rush Environment
- From your first visit on, you’ll be treated like a person—not a number on a schedule.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
I want your first visit to feel straightforward and low-stress. Here’s how it works:
Step 1 – Conversation & Exam
We’ll start by talking through your pain, how it started, what makes it better or worse, and your goals. Then I’ll perform a focused exam to assess your joints, muscles, nerves, and movement patterns.
Step 2 – Clear Explanation
I’ll explain what I found in simple terms, including which structures are likely causing your pain and what we can do to help.
Step 3 – Treatment & Next Steps
Most patients receive their first treatment the same day, which may include gentle chiropractic adjustments, spinal/vertebral decompression, hydromassage, or other therapies based on what we find.
You’ll always know what we’re doing and why—and you’ll never be pressured into long, prepaid plans.
