PATIENT REVIEWS
Initial Complaints: hip pain and general health
Myron has always had pain in his right hip. He has seen many chiropractors around the area and had adjustments. This pretty well went on monthly for 20 years. Then at our church people started talking about their success stories and we got curious. We visited Dr. Cole and got an evaluation for Myron. Doctor Cole took posture pictures and had weekly visits. Doctor Cole changed a few habits that weren’t working for Myron and put him on whole food supplements that would benefit him. Myron has no pain now (unless an occasional stepping down wrong from a tractor or falls) and only goes once every three weeks for an adjustment. He sleeps better and wakes up without pain in his hip. The pictures taken over the two years confirm that Dr. Cole does his best to keep Myron “in line.”
I started visiting Dr. Cole about a year after Myron. Doctor Cole works with me on nutritional supplements for various aspects of my diet. He is very, very knowledgeable and up-to-date on research. He has helped me feel better and is very patient and kind. If I start having pain, I will not hesitate to have Dr. Cole adjust me.
Myron and I value both Dr. Cole and Dr. Josh and consider them an important part of our lives. We are better people for knowing them and we would (and have) recommended them to many people for help.

Initial Complaints: posture, sleeping problems, allergies, and ear pain
Dr. Cole and Dr. Josh have been a tremendous help to me this past year improving my health in many ways. I sleep better now, no longer have allergies and my posture has improved drastically. I also used to experience "airplane ear" when I flew on airplanes, which is extreme pain in the ear caused from the sudden change in cabin pressure. Since they've treated me, I no longer experience that pain when flying! They are extremely professional and knowledgeable in all areas of chiropractic care. I highly recommend them to anyone!

Initial Complaints: carpal tunnel, headaches, sleep problems
I have been in active treatment with Dr. Cole and Dr. Josh since spring break 2014. I was having severe carpal tunnel pain and loss of strength in my hands and surgery had been recommended. I'm a pianist so the thought of surgery scared me. A dear friend of mine told me about and showed me her progress pictures and I'd noticed a great reduction in her pain and brightness in her face so I made an appointment. My hands cause me zero pain now and my frequent headaches are now very rare. Through nutritional and endocrine support my sleep is improving and my overall stability is much improved. These doctors truly care about you as a whole person and want you to live your best and healthiest life. I would and have recommended them to everyone!

Initial Complaints: back pain, shoulder pain, neck pain
I am so blessed to have found Dr. Cole. The chronic back, shoulder, and neck pain I had for years inhibited my normal activities. With each visit I continue to improve and I have now more mobility and energy than I did even when I was a teenager. A very active lifestyle impacts my mental attitude and my health; these doctors have made this possible. Thank you so very much!
-Meg L. Kansas City, KS
Initial Complaints: general pain and quality of life
I highly recommend Dr. Josh and Dr. Cole for their wisdom, skills, and method of chiropractic care. My accelerated treatment plan has given me the courage to trust there will be an end to the pain caused by underlying scar tissue and misalignment. I am freer to lift groceries, garden, and do more than I have in years. Both are also well versed in nutrition. They can also spot ill-fitting shoes from across the room. You can expect total care treatment for healing, maintenance, and prevention of the health issues that concern you. My special thanks to Dr. Josh for my primary care and personal concern for my well being.

Initial Complaints: unrelenting hip pain, difficulty sleeping, and allergies
After I had my fourth child, I began to experience structural issues that stemmed from my hips. I’ve always enjoyed physical activity, but I had to quit because I gradually got worse and worse. Two to three years later, and three chiropractors behind me, I was in so much pain that I couldn’t even sleep through the night. My family couldn’t go on road trips because I couldn’t handle sitting that long, it hurt so intensely. At the same time, I was experiencing horrible seasonal allergies. If I even opened the house door, my eyes and nose would itch and drain extremely bad. I couldn’t do anything outside. I couldn’t watch my son play baseball.
I have now been with NHC for a year and a half, and my life has improved dramatically. I have been back to jazzercise for a year now. We are taking road trips again, no problems! I have even started running, and I just finished my first ever 10-mile run! I’ve NEVER been able to do that! And it’s allergy season to top it off. I have been following their supplement regimen, and that has drastically improved my allergies. I am better than ever! I feel great! I am so grateful to VPPH for adjusting me back to a (better-than) normal life.

Initial Complaints: back pain, headaches
Dr. Cole and Dr. Josh are fantastic. Their unique approach is so much better that traditional chiropractic care. I had been dealing with issues from a couple of old injuries. Over the years I found some relief from chiropractors, but it was always temporary. The unique approach they take has me feeling more stable and flexible than I was in high school (a long time ago)! It takes many visits to get there, and there was some discomfort as I went through some "unwinding," but it's absolutely worth it.
One other note; they don't accept insurance, but their pricing is reasonable, so I barely pay more than I would with insurance at another chiropractor.
-Justin H. DeSoto, KS
Initial Complaints: migraines, neck pain, back pain, hip pain
I've seen a handful of chiropractors who promised to fix my spine, but it was really masking symptoms instead. Dr. Cole and Dr. Josh have worked to find the root cause and I'm feeling much better. They are friendly, easy to get an appointment with, and highly knowledgeable.
-Elizabeth B. Olathe, KS
Initial Complaints: low back pain, nerve pain, shoulder pain
I knew this was going to be a different chiropractic experience the moment I walked into their doors. Drs Josh and Cole are extremely attentive, kind, professional, and knowledgeable. This is not a "crack your back in 15 minutes" kind of practice, where the chiropractor superficially fixes you and then expects to see you back each week for the rest of your life. The Drs here want to help get to the root of the issue, see you regularly at first, and then gradually get you to a place of maintenance and vitality. I leave from my appointments feeling like I have been heard and cared for and best of all, my posture is better and my low back pain was GONE! It was amazing.
-Jenessa A. Springfield, MO
Initial Complaints: back pain, scoliosis, birth trauma
Dr. Cole and Dr. Josh have absolutely changed my life and the lives of my family members. My grandma who had chronic UTI's was helped by diet changes and supplement support, my dad and mom who had major back pain and issues, my cousins baby who wouldn't stop crying because of birth trauma, and many more! They do not practice your "typical chiropractics." Their approach is ABC protocol Biostructural Correction and in my experience theirs is a more successful and long reaching approach than other chiropractors I have visited. They actually heal you! Of course, you have to cooperate, too! :) Not only do they offer structural healing, but also nutritional support! We worked closely with Dr. Cole in getting the right nutritional support to conceive, and we did after just a few months following his nutritional advice! I HIGHLY recommend! I had to move to Texas and still make appointments for when I am home visiting family! I would even drive further to see them if needed! They truly are healers and I thank God for them!

Initial Complaints: rib pain, back pain, headaches, leg pain
I started in January 2016 with headaches, back, leg pain, and rib cage pain. At present this has all mostly vanished! There is no violent thrusting. All adjustments are done with natural movement using your own weight to do it. Also the knowledge of available HIGH quality supplements to aid in your health. I really appreciate these doctors and trust what they have to say and how they approach the field of chiropractic.
Thanks Dr. Josh and Dr. Cole
-Herb N. Overland Park, KS
Initial Complaints: neck pain, back pain, foot pain
After a couple negative experiences with chiropractors, I was skeptical of visiting another one, but I had just been in a car accident and was having neck and back pain. I came to NHC because my parents had gone to Honduras with Dr. Josh and raved about how caring and knowledgeable he had been with the people there. I am so grateful to Dr. Josh for all he has done for me. 5 months later, I am free of not only neck and back pain, but also foot pain that kept me from doing activities that I loved. Dr. Josh and Dr. Cole are both kind, and caring people. They use a very common sense approach to treatment and will work within your budget.
-Marie R. Lenexa, KS
Initial Complaints: migraines, shoulder pain, knee pain, seasonal allergies
My body has never felt better. Years of traditional Chiro care, massage, yoga, and medication helped manage my chronic pain but never fixed it. I came for a nasal adjustment and stayed to get my whole body fixed (turns out it all works together). They’ve CURED my migraines, shoulder pain, knee pain, and I finally kicked seasonal allergies too. My friends have been amazed to see my crooked fingers straighten out, my face reverse-age. I have shoulder definition now, and I’m finally not a klutz- I’m graceful and have physical coordination and power, like I could be athletic if I wanted to. My kids went through treatment also and now stand taller, run and climb with more coordination and strength, and no more allergies for them, too.
Lifestyle changes (shoes, sitting, and sleeping recommendations) have been the toughest part of treatment but once you figure it out and feel what a difference it makes, it’s so worth it.
Very affordable rates, especially considering you get to quit the meds, treatments, and the costly other stuff you’d been doing.
The ABC chiropractic method is inside out and backward from traditional Chiro but it makes sense (restoring spinal health which allows the rest of the body to align, where traditional Chiro treats one part of the body or just the symptoms instead of the root cause). The missing logic gaps in conventional care are accounted for in ABC (for example, there is a correct height for your pillow! I can’t tell you how many years I’ve been looking for someone to help me find a pillow that doesn’t hurt my neck).
Dr Cole and Dr Josh are so knowledgeable and friendly and easy to work with. I cannot say enough good things about my experience.

Initial Complaints: pain in wrist, arm, elbow, shoulder, back, rib, and knee
Snapshot of my life and well being one year ago:
I had broken my arm and it was not healing right, due to a combination of bad surgery procedure and normal problems that come with age and the nature of the injury. I had no more pain pills, even though I didn't really want to take them anyway. I was depressed not only from the pain but also from the fear that I may never get to do some of the most important things that I love to do again. Normally, I'm a positive person and overcome obstacles without whining, but I felt broken and hopeless. I was not able to do very simple things like turn a door knob or hold a cup of coffee. I would stand at the kitchen sink to wash dishes and have to stop because my back and shoulder and elbow and wrist were in so much pain. I slept very little due to the pain waking me up, and I was uncomfortable so I would just get up. My arm was so limited in motion that I had to invent ways to do normal things, such as wash my hair... I even had to adjust how I hugged my kids so I wouldn't turn my wrist over and feel the pain that happened when I used it the wrong way. I sat curled up all that time, some due to the pain and some due to how cold I felt. What little exercise I attempted, my knee and back hurt bad enough to deter me from doing more. I had suffered a broken rib from a different injury and at times, my rib would be out of place to the extent that it was uncomfortable when I breathed in. I felt like I needed help all the time and for someone so stubborn and independent used to helping others instead, that was an emotional strain. In a last chance and desperate shot to avoid another painful surgery and long recovery, I made an appointment with Dr. Cole, at the urging of my aunt.
Snapshot of my life now:
When I wake up from sleeping, I realize I have slept five or six hours without waking up, and I feel refreshed and better. I'm running about 3 miles a day plus lifting weights and walking a lot more, all pain free. My knee that turned out to the right since I was 18 is now aligned properly! The pain in my rib cage area is normally absent completely, but when it is back, I can barely feel that it's out of alignment. I am back to doing the physical activities that I love that keep me inspired. I sit in my chair at my computer very comfortably, and not curled up. I had no idea I was in such bad shape until I saw Dr. Cole! I was chalking it all up to "getting old" or living with the injuries that come from an active life. I only sought help for my wrist, but it ended up changing everything! And now, in a little over a month, I'm traveling to Nepal to hike to Mount Everest base camp and be a skydiving photographer there! What an amazing year!
