Dr. Prather Asks some important questions of interest to Lees Summit residents - Chiropractor Lees Summit Dr. Prather Asks...

Where do most Lees Summit residents get their first subluxation?
Being born in a hospital is a common source of subluxation. Trauma from forceps delivery has been replaced with drugs, vacuum extraction, Cesarean section and births that are "scheduled" to fit the workweek routines of Ob-Gyns. That's why we recommend a chiropractic checkup for every Lees Summit newborn.
Would you rather feel good or be healthy?
Ask most people in Lees Summit and they want to feel good. Careful! Would you take medicine that makes you feel good, rather than vomit to expel improperly prepared food? Every chiropractic practice member knows that you can't measure your health by how you feel. True health is when your body works as it should.
