About KC Wellness Directory
Built by Dr. Ladd Carlston, DC — a chiropractor with 23+ years in the Kansas City area.
Why I built this
I'm Dr. Ladd Carlston — I run my chiropractic practice in Overland Park, Kansas, and I've been treating patients in the KC metro for more than 23 years. Over that time I've worked with thousands of people dealing with pain, movement issues, and chronic tension — and I've specialized in approaches like applied kinesiology, neuromuscular re-education, and craniosacral therapy.
I built this directory because I kept watching patients struggle to find quality alternative health providers in Kansas City. Searching online turns up paid ads, scraped listings with dead phone numbers, and reviews that don't tell you whether a practitioner actually cares about outcomes. Patients deserve better than that. They deserve education first — which is why the Learning Center exists — and then a curated list of practitioners vetted by someone who actually practices in this field. No paid placements. No sponsored results. Just a real clinician pointing patients toward good care.
How it works — for practitioners
- Listing is free for your first year — no credit card, no trial trickery.
- Sign up, verify your email, and your listing goes live.
- Edit your profile any time from your dashboard.
- Patients can find you by specialty and zip code.
- No paid placements, no sponsored results — everyone gets a fair shake.
How it works — for patients
- Browse by provider type — chiropractic, acupuncture, massage, and more.
- Filter by zip code and specialty to find someone near you.
- Read education articles to understand your options before you book.
- Every listed provider is reviewed by Dr. Ladd — no random scraped data.
My goal is simple: connect KC patients with practitioners who actually care about outcomes. If you have ideas, feedback, or questions, please get in touch.
