Digestion is one of the most important aspects of your health.  The cells that make up your organs and tissues are constantly in a state of repair. They repair using the food you eat, digest and using these nutrients reconstruct your cells. This is why what you take into your body 100% affects how you feel, act, and look. The digestive system is ironically one of the most neglected systems in our health.  Many patients run to their doctor when they have a sniffly nose, but we think nothing of a chronic case of constipation or bouts of diarhea.  In fact, some doctors will tell you that it's okay if you only have a bowel movement every four or five days.

Understanding the functions of your gut:  Your digestive tract is said to have more nerve endings than your brain!  It is also where the majority of your immune system is located.  To top it off, it is the place where we absorb nutrients and vitamins that are 100% crucial to our health.  Without a properly functioning digestive tract, you will not be able to achieve optimal health.  Your symptoms will manifest as many forms - food sensitivities, bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, reflux, heartburn, fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, and even atherosclerosis in your arteries.
Conventional western medicine consistently struggles with people with digestion problems. Many drugs actually make digestion worse by decreasing cell function, turning off receptor sites, or hampering your acid-alkaline balance. This interferes with the biochemistry of your gut and the enzymes necessary for digestion. Does this approach make sense to you?

The only way to improve digestion is to first understand what's causing your symptoms. We can then eliminate that and focus on restoring the function of your digestive cells and supporting the affected organs by following a 4-step Gut Health Plan - Remove, Replace, Reinoculate (Restore), Repair. This must be done in a stepwise manner, and should be guided by a properly trained chiropractic physician.

If you suffer from constipation, diarrhea, bloating, gas, belching, foul breath, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), heartburn, or any other digestive issue, please call for a consultation with our doctors at 913-643-1771 so we can help you. We will discuss both nutritional, chiropractic and acupuncture options to get your digestion back on track- depending upon your needs.

We look forward to restoring the digestive track of Overland Park, Olathe, Leawood, Prarie Villiage, Belton, Lee's Summit and the surrounding Kansas City community.

"After having a headache/migraine for 2 1/2 to 3 years and severe digesion issues I walked into Advanced Sports and Family Chiropractic and Acupuncture looking for help. Because of my headaches I was taking a lot of OTC remedies and then a lot of OTC remedies for my stomach problems. It would also be good for you to know that I am not a big believer in our medical system and I refuse to allow any doctor to do intrusive tests so that they can guess what might be wrong and then they can prescribe numerous drugs to see if they might help.


Dr. Woodle did an x-ray (nonintrusive) and found several things that needed attention. I had been in a car wreck when I was a junior in high school and was never given treatment on my upper neck. I am now 64 years old and my neck really needs attention. I also had a jaw injury for high school that he worked on. My stomach issues were so bad that I was taking a lot of antacids a day and not really getting much relief. I did not know that antacids blocked your system from absorbing iron. My hemoglobin level was an 8.2 when 12-15 is recommended. I was taking 4 to 6 Excedrine Migraine a day and most days adding in 50mg of Imitrex. Needless to say that was the major reason for my stomach issues.

After 4 to 5 months with Dr. Woodle, Bartels, Fanders and Amy and also having acupuncture treatments and specific nutrition to rebuild the linings I no longer have a stomach issues. I feel like a totally new person and give Dr. Woodle and his office all the credit. I would never hesitate to recommend them to my family and friends.

Thank you Dr. Woodle and team for everything you have done for me.   ~  Mary Fran
