History

Established in 1985.

Doctor Gradwohl graduated from Cleveland Chiropractic College in 1985 and started Chiropractic Treatment Center. He continued to pursue education heavily in order to become one of the premier practices in the Kansas City area. After finishing his Diplomat in Orthopedics and getting his Sports Medicine certification, he quickly became successful and popular in the area. Around 1999 Doctor Gradwohl began to notice some trends in his patients that started him down a path of research that led him to Enzyme Nutritional Therapy. As our American diets (the food we eat) changed over the years, as a society we have become more and more enzyme deficient – causing a variety of problems to arise. Doctor Gradwohl studied under Dr. Loomis who had been long researching the field and had created an Enzyme Nutritional Therapy program. Doctor Gradwohl got his Internal Health Specialist Certification and has been practicing Enzyme Nutritional Therapy for the last 12 years.
