About Us
Dr. Ryan Yocum, D.C.
Raised in small-town Kansas, Dr. Ryan grew up loving the outdoors, sports, and time spent with friends & family. With a little push, he started to unveil the healing principles and philosophy of chiropractic which led him to Cleveland Chiropractic College in Overland Park, Kansas. After approximately four years, Dr. Ryan gained his Bachelor of Science degree in Human Biology and Doctorate of Chiropractic. While in school, he honed his diagnostic skills, his adjusting abilities and a myriad of different techniques in order to properly serve his community today.
He traveled to seminars outside of school nearly every other weekend to acquire 500 plus hours of extra chiropractic education and experience on top of required academics. The more he could learn, the better he could perform. Dr. Ryan was and is still involved with the International Chiropractic Association which has given him a surplus of great opportunities to meet and learn from chiropractors internationally. Additionally, Dr. Ryan is Webster Technique certified which allows him to serve all family types with top-notch care. He credits his achievements and success to Karlee because, without her, his dreams would not have been possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Of course! Dr. Ryan uses gentle and specific manual techniques to help restore proper alignment and balance; these adjustments are safe as well as effective. Our experienced team provides the best care and ensures that you are comfortable during every visit.
As with any route of health care, there is risk such as temporary discomfort or fatigue following an adjustment. Decades of stress and damage cannot be undone in one visit; therefore, it’s vital to know that chiropractic care requires time and most importantly, consistency. Adjustments move bones and muscles in ways that they have not been used to “sitting” since the misalignment is what your body has been accustomed to.
The number of visits necessary to stabilize the nervous system depends on the individual and our objective findings. In our experience, most people will require multiple chiropractic visits in order to see meaningful results. The initial exams involve a few brief assessments to determine response and progress, after which a customized care plan will be presented providing a clinical strategy for addressing the root cause. Ultimately, Dr. Ryan will have a better understanding of the number of visits necessary once an initial and thorough evaluation has been completed.
During your first chiropractic visit, you can expect to meet the team’s care advocates, receive a tour of the office and then complete a thorough health exam with Dr. Ryan. He may also perform some range-of-motion tests, as well as x-rays or scans in order to detect nervous system stress. Finally, he will utilize these findings to create a personalized care plan that is tailored to you and/or your family’s needs.
Chiropractic care offers a variety of benefits. By restoring and optimizing neurological function, the rest of your body’s systems can perform much more optimally. Your body’s health is fully determined by the state or condition of your nervous system which impacts every other aspect of your health.
In many cases, some amount of chiropractic care is covered by insurance. This varies by provider and plan, so it’s important to check your individual policy to gain adequate insight. In general, most plans provide some amount of coverage for chiropractic services such as office visits, x-rays, and additional treatments.
However, our office is not in network with insurance because providers often attempt to dictate care; our recommendations are clinically and objectively defined. Therefore, we are able to customize our care to reflect the needs of the individual or family.
Yes, self-pay is a great option vs insurance because we are able to offer (in most cases) more competitive pricing than insurance rates. With self-pay, we are able to provide affordable care, accept most major credit cards as well as HSA and FSA plans.
