Services & Techniques

At Baker Chiropractic and Acupuncture, we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic wellness care to our patients. Below is a sampling of the different chiropractic services we offer in our Kansas City office.

Chiropractic Care

We provide advanced spinal correction utilizing "state of the art" chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic have we been able to provide the level of help and expertise that now exists. These newer correction methods are even safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. As a Doctor of Chiropractic, Dr. Kristine Baker has years of training and experience in spinal adjustment.

Acupuncture

We offer state-of-the-art Acupuncture Meridian Imaging with Acugraph.  Acugraph is a diagnostic tool that allows us to map the 12 main acupuncture meridians to get a real-time comprehensive picture of your body's energy systems.  Using your Acugraph printout, we can give you the most accurate and effective acupuncture treatment.  In many cases we will add acupuncture points classically known for your condition in addition to the treatment indicated on your Acugraph.  Over time, you will see your AcuGraph readings improve as your body's energy starts to balance. 

Total Body Modification

Dr. Baker was personally helped by a Chiropractor that was trained in TBM and then immediately registered for the training herself.   Total Body Modification is a system of the best and most effective chiropractic techniques that treat a wide variety of patients, especially patients that have not seen improvement from standard chiropractic or natural care.  TBM has been known to help patients with food and environmental allergies, reactions to medications, blood sugar and blood pressure control, building the immune system to fight off colds and flus, and balance emotional states.  TBM has been a huge contribution to Dr. Baker and her patients, some of which say this technique has been a miracle for them!

CranioSacral Therapy

Many patients seek Dr. Baker for her knowledge of CranioSacral Therapy.  It is a technique that balances the CranioSacral rhythm of the body which usually results in improvement or resolution of a patient's symptoms and improvement of their emotional well-being.  Your body produces cerebrospinal fluid (the fluid around your brain and spinal cord) at a rate of 6 to 8 cycles per minute.  Dr. Baker is trained to detect abnormalities in this rhythm in various regions of the body, and then gently allow the body to return to a more balanced rhythm.  CranioSacral Therapy can be used to help people with problems in any part of the body, including the head, neck, back, and internal organs. 

Corrective Exercises

We teach our patients special "blueprint" exercises to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health.

Lifestyle Advice

We often find it helpful to "coach" our patients on certain activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most. We recognize that each our patient is a whole person, and help them reach true health and wellness is a collaborate effort between our professionals and our patients.

Nutritional Counseling

We provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices to enhance our patient´s return to optimal health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you? Do you know how these supplements and vitamins interact with one another? Dr. Kristine Baker can provide a structured nutritional program based on your individual needs.

Spinal & Postural Screenings

Posture and spinal screenings can reveal important health information and unlock the door to improved health and well-being. We provide screenings at area malls, community events, health fairs and places of employment. Contact us today to arrange a screening at your event or workplace.
