Honoring Those Who Served — And Those Who Serve Them
This Veteran’s Day, we pause to recognize and honor the brave men and women who answered the call to serve our country. To the veterans within the Kansas chiropractic community—thank you for your courage, your sacrifice, and your leadership. Your commitment to service did not end with your military career; it continues in your practices, your communities, and your impact on patients every day.
We also extend our deepest gratitude to the chiropractors across Kansas who care for veterans. By restoring mobility, reducing pain, and improving quality of life without reliance on unnecessary medications, you provide life-changing support to those who carried the weight of service. Your work offers healing not only for the body, but for lives shaped by sacrifice.
Today, and every day, we honor your service—to our country and to our profession. Thank you for making Kansas stronger, healthier, and more resilient.
Chiropractic Roots: Dr. Karl May
In this episode of Chiropractic Roots, Dr. Travis Oller sits down with Dr. Karl May of Clearwater and Harper, Kansas — a practitioner whose chiropractic journey began with a life-changing injury and grew into more than two decades of service to his rural communities. Dr. May shares how mentorship from Kansas chiropractors guided him from a path toward medicine to a lifetime calling in chiropractic, why he believes time and connection are a doctor’s most powerful tools, and how his practice blends traditional hands-on care with modern innovations like shockwave therapy. He also talks about mentorship, community involvement (including his annual stint as Santa Claus), and his philosophy of “being the doctor you want to be.” Whether you’re a student, new graduate, or veteran DC, this conversation is packed with real-world wisdom about purpose, balance, and staying rooted in the profession’s core values.

Medicare Uncomplicated: A Two-hour Guide for DCs (2025)
Medicare feels complicated until you see the pattern. In this fast, practical session, you will lock in what Medicare actually covers for chiropractors, how to show active treatment vs maintenance, and how to use the AT modifier and ABNs with confidence. We will decode PAR vs non-PAR choices, walk through notes that pass the sniff test, and cover the Medicare Advantage curveballs that show up in real clinics: fewer surprises, cleaner claims, calmer front desk.
Hour 1 Outcomes
Identify what Medicare covers for DCs and what it does not, in plain English
Handle Medicare Advantage basics that matter day to day, including maintenance scenarios
Distinguish active treatment from maintenance and document each so it is obvious
Decide PAR vs non-PAR with eyes open, including how each status affects fees and claims flow
Hour 2 Outcomes
Apply the AT modifier correctly so the story of medical necessity is clear
Use the ABN correctly, including when to issue, how to explain it, and how to bill after
Avoid common denial triggers like vague goals, time-based services that do not add up, and region conflicts with CMT
Leave with a Monday checklist for clinicians, front desk, and billing, so everyone stays aligned
