Your body is amazing. You have an incredible built-in intelligence system, called the nervous system. Your nervous system (your brain, spinal cord, and nerves) controls and coordinates the function of every.single.cell. in your body. Chiropractic care allows your intelligence system (the nervous system) to operate as optimally as possible.
A chiropractic adjustment relieves stress within the nervous system through a gentle releases applied to restricted areas of the spine or cranium. After an adjustment, people often report an increased sense of ease, well-being, and "feeling more alive." We like to say it feels like have your lights turned on.

Our bodies are inherently intelligent, self-regulating, and self-healing. How does the body accomplish this? Through the nervous system - known as the master control system of the body. The nervous system includes your brain, spinal cord, and all of the nerves that run through the rest of your body.
At Gateways Chiropractic, the doctors will complete a thorough consultation and evaluation which will last 30-45 minutes depending on the complexity of your case and your chosen route of care (chiropractic care, acupuncture, nutritional counseling and target enzyme nutrition, or a combination of the three).
This beautiful 5-day old had an incredibly painful latch and some nursing challenges. After her first gentle adjustment, her latch was, according to mom, "perfect" and non-painful! Baby nursed like a champ and continued to nurse for over a year. Supporting mothers with chiropractic care during labor can be instrumental in achieving a smoother, more peaceful birth experience.

I’m struggling to find the words. The experience was so deeply needed and transformative on just the 1st visit, my excitement on possibilities is beyond explanation. Welcoming atmosphere, a doc that is a truly great listener and has a deep passion for helping you become your best self. If you are struggling with whole body/mind/spirit care…. This is where you need to find yourself.

I am confident that most people would agree with me when I say 2020 was quite a memorable year. I had spent the first six months preparing the home I had lived in for twelve years to be placed on the market for sale. My twins were also graduating from high school in May. And in the midst of the planning and doing, a pandemic arrived. My body hurt and the emotional and mental stress took it's toll on me physically as well. I had met Dr. Mackenzie at a Food Enzyme Institute Seminar a couple of years prior. I don't live in Missouri, but I knew she was who I needed to see. She did not disappoint! The

Dr. McNamara, Dr. Allen and staff are all absolutely amazing!! I am not a person who cries easily and I was in tears our first visit. We have been to other chiropractic offices and have never experienced such kind and thorough care. They are so incredibly patient (especially with my high energy children), and calm natured. They actively listen and explain everything they are doing every step of the way. I could not recommend this office more and cannot see us ever going anywhere else!

Dr. Mackenzie is a one of a kind healer. Her passion and knowledge for babies and pregnant women is beyond any other chiropractor I know of, and I am a chiropractor myself. She has a very specialized practice in these two areas and I love that I have someone I can refer babies and pregnant mothers to that exceeds my level of care. It takes advanced training well beyond the regular chiropractic education to address pediatric care and pregnancies. Look no further. You will love Dr. Mackenzie and her staff.
