Complete Chiropractic & Wellness Services
Move well. Think well. Be Well.
Chiropractic Adjustments & Therapies
Experience effective, drug-free pain relief through our chiropractic care. Dr. Matthew Arthaud (D.C., RN) provides safe and targeted spinal adjustments to improve alignment, relieve pressure on nerves, and restore mobility. Whether you’re suffering from back pain, neck stiffness, headaches, or sciatica, chiropractic adjustments can help your body heal and function its best. If you’re nervous about “cracking” or popping sounds, don’t worry – we offer gentle techniques too. Dr. Arthaud is trained in low-force methods and instrument-assisted adjustments (like Activator tools and drop-table technique) for those who prefer a softer touch. In addition to adjustments, we may incorporate stretching, muscle release, or other therapies to address tight muscles and enhance your results. Our goal is to get you back to feeling great as quickly and comfortably as possible.
Functional Nutrition & Telehealth Consults
Healing from the inside out is a cornerstone of our philosophy. Our functional nutrition service looks beyond symptom management – we dig deep to find and address the root causes of your health concerns. In a nutrition consultation, Dr. Arthaud (who also has an RN background) will assess your diet, lifestyle, and any underlying issues to create a personalized plan for you. We commonly help with things like digestive problems, chronic fatigue, hormonal imbalances, weight management, and more. Rather than generic advice, you’ll receive custom guidance on what to eat, which supplements may help, and how to adjust daily habits to reach your goals. Best of all, you can choose to meet in-person or via telehealth for these consults. If you’re not near Chillicothe – or just have a busy schedule – our secure video appointments let you work with our nutrition coach from the comfort of your home. It’s holistic wellness made convenient.
Cupping Therapy
We believe in offering a broad toolkit of natural therapies, and cupping therapy is a patient favorite. Cupping is a time-tested practice in which specialized cups create gentle suction on the skin to increase blood flow, ease muscle tension, and accelerate healing of tight or injured areas. Many people find cupping deeply relaxing – it’s like a reverse deep-tissue massage that lifts and loosens stubborn knots. Temporary circular marks are normal, painless, and fade in a few days. You can easily add a cupping session to your chiropractic visit for extra relief.
Physical Exams & Sports Physicals
For students and families in our community, we offer quick and thorough sports physicals and wellness exams right here in our office. Missouri schools require a sports physical for student-athletes, and we’ve made the process easy and affordable. During a sports physical (also called a pre-participation exam), we review the student’s health history, check vital signs (like blood pressure, heart rate, and vision), and examine joints, muscles, and posture to ensure they’re ready for action. Dr. Arthaud’s unique dual training means he won’t just sign a form–he’ll give you insights on injury prevention and overall health, too. We can also perform general wellness exams for camp participation or personal peace of mind, providing an opportunity to catch any potential issues early. Families appreciate the convenience of getting these exams done at a holistic clinic – often with same-week appointments available when urgent. You’ll leave with all the necessary paperwork completed and the confidence that your health (or your child’s health) has been thoroughly checked.
Success Stories from Our Patients
Care for All Ages: From Kids to Seniors
We welcome patients of all ages and tailor our care to each stage of life. Here’s how we support different groups in our community:
Infants & Children
Gentle pediatric chiropractic care can help little ones with issues like colic, frequent ear infections, or falls and tumbles. We use extra-soft techniques (no cracking) for babies and kids, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. A quick adjustment or posture check early on can set your child up for healthy development. (Dr. Arthaud is a dad of six, so he knows how to put kids – and parents – at ease.)
Pregnancy (Prenatal Moms)
Expectant mothers find relief with our prenatal chiropractic services. As your body changes, we gently align the spine and pelvis to ease back pain, hip discomfort, and sciatica often experienced during pregnancy. We have pregnancy-safe adjusting tables and techniques (including the Webster technique for optimal pelvic alignment) to help you stay comfortable and support better positioning for baby. Keeping mom aligned can also contribute to a smoother delivery.
Athletes & Active Adults
From teen athletes to weekend warriors, we provide specialized sports chiropractic care to enhance performance and speed up recovery. Come in for that nagging sports injury or to improve your game with better mobility and balance. We’ll not only treat your injury but also show you stretches and tips to prevent future issues. Our clinic understands the demands of training – we’ll help you get back out there stronger and smarter.
Seniors
Our senior patients receive compassionate, gentle care to keep them moving and living independently. Chiropractic adjustments for older adults can relieve arthritis pain, improve range of motion, and even help with balance (reducing fall risk). We use low-force, “no pop” techniques as needed, and take extra time with our seniors to ensure comfort. Many of our patients in their 60s, 70s, and beyond tell us they feel more limber and active since adding regular chiropractic to their routine. Healthy aging is possible – we’re here to help our elders stay young at heart and mobile in body.
Telehealth and In-Person Options
At The Well-House, we make caring for your health as convenient as possible. Many services – like chiropractic adjustments, cupping, and exams – are done in-person at our Chillicothe office so you get the hands-on care you need. But we also embrace technology to serve you better. Our functional nutrition consultations are available via telehealth for anyone who can’t visit us in person. That means if you live outside the area (Kansas City, St. Joseph, Kirksville – or anywhere in the country), you can still work with our wellness team through secure video calls. Existing local patients also enjoy virtual follow-up sessions when life gets busy or if they just need a check-in from home. Telehealth has opened the door for us to guide college students away at school, professionals with tight schedules, and even friends and family of our local patients who live far away. No matter where you are, you can access our expertise. Of course, if you’re nearby, we’d love to see you in person – our clinic proudly serves Chillicothe and surrounding communities like Trenton, Brookfield, Cameron, and more. Whether face-to-face or over a screen, we’re here to support your journey to wellness.
