What people ask about
Is it how you stand, walk or sit?
People come to us about what they notice in an ordinary day. A visit starts with how you move.
Walking feels uneven
One hip or knee that seems to lead, or shoes that wear down on one side.
Standing for a shift
Long hours on your feet or at a counter, and a body that feels it by evening.
Sitting at a desk
Shoulders that creep forward and a neck that follows the screen.
Getting up and down
Stairs, the car, a low chair, and how you move through each of them.

How we work
Examine, explain, then exercise
We look at how you stand, walk and sit before we suggest anything, and we tell you what we see in plain words.
A close look first
Posture and gait are observed in person. Imaging is used only when your doctor decides it is medically necessary.
Checked as we go
Your doctor re-checks how you stand and move at set points and tells you what has changed, and what has not.
Exercise you can do at home
Part of each plan is movement you practice on your own, so care does not rest on visits alone.

Dr. Babak Ghorbani, DC
Dr. Ghorbani opened Strut Chiropractic in Kansas City to examine how adults stand and walk, and to teach the exercises that go with a visit. Every visit begins with a conversation and an exam, and he explains what was found and what your options are before anything starts.
We take X-rays on site only when they are medically necessary. Each plan is written for your body and your week, and you can say no to any part of it.

FAQ
Common questions
What most people ask before a first visit.
01What happens at my first visit?
The first visit takes about an hour. You talk with your doctor about your history, have an exam that includes how you stand and walk, and hear what was found and what your options are. X-rays are taken only when your doctor decides they are medically necessary. Care starts that day only if you agree to it.
02Is chiropractic care safe?
Like any health care, it has risks. Soreness or stiffness for a day or two is the most common. Rare but serious problems, including stroke, have been reported after neck manipulation. Your doctor explains the risks of each option before care begins, tells you if a physician should see you first, and you can say no at any time.
03How many visits will I need?
Your doctor sets a plan after the exam and re-checks it as you go. We don't promise a number of visits, and the plan changes if you do.
04Do you take my insurance?
We bill most PPO plans and some employer plans, and our front desk checks your benefits before your first visit. What a plan pays differs from plan to plan. The How fees work page has the details.
05Do I need X-rays?
Only when your doctor decides they are medically necessary. Many visits have none. If your doctor recommends one, you hear why before it is taken.
06What is the cancellation policy?
To cancel or change a visit, call us as early as you can. Ask the front desk about the practice's cancellation policy.
