Three years ago I randomly developed a pinched nerve in my lower back. I visited my doctor, was referred to a Physical Therapist, who then referred me to another Physical Therapist, who referred me to a 3rd one. None could figure out any motion to set me in that didn’t aggravate the situation. Over the 3 months of visits I was eventually told that I probably had some nerve damage and it would just take time to heal. Through the next 3 years my left leg consistently experienced muscle spasms in the calf, a tight hamstring, achiness and occasional pain in my lower back down through my leg. I was introduced to a Chiropractor through a Health Fair at work who suggested I visit with him. He immediately took x-rays and set forth a course of action, which included 45 visits and a prepaid savings plan, costing me roughly $2500 out of pocket. Wanting a second opinion I visited Dr. Bartholet. He took the time to ask me specifically what my ailments were and tried various paths to a solution. He not only treated me in office, but also sent me home with recommendations for stretches and pressure point relief. His belief was to reassess after each visit and set the course of treatment based on my progress, not on what my ailments were the first time I stepped in the office. After visiting Dr. Bartholet only 7 times in a course of 6 months my symptoms have completely diminished.
In my path to recovery I started to exercise daily, but my hamstring was still tight even after 3 months of activity and stretching. In my last visit Dr. Bartholet had me perform four repetitions of one stretching exercise while he applied pressure to one point in my leg. IT WAS AMAZING! The tightness completely disappeared and I was able to reach the floor. It’s been weeks now and I have had no reoccurrence of the problem. Three years of problems and finally someone was able to help.
I would definitely recommend Dr. Bartholet to anyone who might be seeking care from a Chiropractor. Not only is he highly qualified, but he also takes the time to listen to what you’re saying and decides on the best course of action based on what you are saying at each step of the process. Quite a difference from the 45-visit plan given out on day one from other Chiropractors!

I was suffering from severe wrist and arm pain and numbness due to carpal tunnel syndrome. I was awakening on a nightly basis with pain, numbness and tingling in my fingers, wrist and arm. I also experienced the same symptoms throughout the day.
Dr. Bartholet prescribed a 5 week course of treatment using light laser therapy. The results have been astounding. We ended up doing a 6 week treatment, and I am now pain free and I no longer experience any numbness or tingling.
I highly recommend Dr. Bartholet to any patient – he is extremely knowledgeable and ethical.

Over the last 50 years I have gone to many osteopaths and chiropractors ranging from very good to really horrible. Now that I have found Dr. John I feel I have the very best.
He is a very pleasant, interesting young man and seems to keep an eye out for new information on chiropractic procedure.
When I go to Dr. John I am being treated for MY problem not just quickly run through so he can get on to the next patient.
He takes the time to understand the problem and treat it and also takes the time to explain what he is doing and why.
I feel much better and don’t have to have adjustments as often since I have been going to him.
I recommend him almost every time someone mentions health problems.

I’ve been to my share of chiropractors but have never seen one as wonderful as Dr. John. He really listens to your pain & knows exactly how to fix it. He spends time with you & is not rushing you out the door for the next patient. I like how he explains the procedures & how to make it so it won’t hurt again.
I highly recommend Dr. John to everyone as their chiropractor.

I was having terrible neck pain and unable to move my neck. I called Dr. Bartholet
And he was able to see me that afternoon. The treatment was great! After the first treatment, I was able to move my neck at almost 100%. He scheduled a follow up treatment a couple days later and my neck was at 100%.

“I was in a serious car accident and suffered a spine injury that left me in a great deal of pain. Dr. John took great care in diagnosing my condition and working a treatment program that was both medically sound and conservative regarding adjustments. Even my Physical Therapist was impressed with the program he set me up on and that is usually not the case between traditional medical professionals and chiropractors. His professionalism as well as his willingness to treat me not in accordance with what his practice needed for income but, according to my actual needs, has left me with nothing but great things to say about this impressive chiropractor.”

“John, thank you for the personal attention related to helping me with the discomfort in my jaw. I appreciated your patience and thoroughness. It’s too bad you can’t stay in Kansas City and set up practice. You would be a valuable asset to healing.
I wish you the very best in your new venture and know that you will continue to care for future patients as well as you did me. It’s just part of you makeup.”
God Bless
