Success Stories from Our Patients
EXCELLENT Based on 24 reviews Chase Whiteside2025-05-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Suffered from lower back pain for the last 6 months and was at my wits end… tried multiple things just to end up in another flare-up. A friend mentioned Matt. I was apprehensive at first, but decided that I wasn’t getting anywhere with more familiar methods, so I’d give it a shot. First visit I was still skeptical, but Matt’s positive attitude, attentiveness, and confidence in me getting well brought me back. I’m glad I did. After 2 more visits my back pain was completely gone for the first time in that 6 months... I had good and bad days before, but never the complete absence of pain/pressure sitting, standing, bending etc. Along with some other positive health changes in my life, I believe Matt’s chiropractic care was the major missing piece in my recovery and I can’t think him enough for making me feel like I got my life back.

Anna Plattner2025-01-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I chose to see Dr. Arthaud from the Google reviews, and I am so glad I did! Dr. Arthaud is very professional, spends time listening and getting to know you and assessing your overall needs. I immediately felt better, but will require more visits to get everything worked out. He is upfront and straightforward with your treatment goals. I would recommend The Well House to anyone! Andy Gannon2025-01-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Dr. Matt has brought back a quality to my life that I had long since given up on! After years of Chronic pain, multiple medications, years of pain management procedures and countless doctors visits… I am now medication free and almost 100% pain free thanks to Dr. Matt! I have been to MANY chiropractors in Kansas City, Chillicothe and surrounding areas… Dr. Matt is where it’s at! Thank you for helping me get back to living my life! Brandy Sensenich2024-12-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend Dr Matt enough. I have always heard that chiropractic care can heal so much more than what aches at the time, but haven’t experienced that with anyone in our area. He gives an in-depth intake, asking about more than just what pains you, but about your full body, trauma, stress, with my kids even their birthing experience. I went in with a few places that always “go out” and he explained out they relate to each other. He looks at nerves and how our brains work to control your body along with pressure points. My children have dealt with an issue since birth where doctors have ran tests and basically said “they will grow out of it”. Within a month one has been healed, the other is on his way, better, it’s just going to take longer because of things he’s experienced. He opened my mind to what chiropractic care can look like focusing on your whole body and how to repair it, not just a temporary fix. A long review, but hopefully you will take time to check him out!
