Meet Dr. Andrew Plank

At Best Life Chiropractic, our mission is more than a profession — it’s a personal calling.

My journey into chiropractic began at just 13 years old, when a sports injury left me with a Grade 2 spondylolisthesis. The pain was life-changing — I couldn’t walk normally, bend, twist, or move without sharp sciatica down both legs. For an active kid who lived for sports, it felt like my world had turned upside down.

That’s when I discovered chiropractic. Through safe, precise adjustments, my spine was stabilized and my symptoms began to ease. With each visit, I reclaimed more of the life I thought I had lost. That healing experience left me with a powerful question:

“How could something so simple be so powerful?”

The answer changed my life — and set me on the path to becoming a chiropractor myself.

I grew up right here in the Kansas City area and have been active my entire life. Sports were my passion, and I excelled in football, playing at a highly competitive level. I went on to play at Garden City Community College, where I was proud to play a pivotal role in helping my team win a National Championship. From there, I continued my athletic career at Fort Hays State University, experiences that instilled in me the values of hard work, discipline, and teamwork — all of which I now carry into my chiropractic practice.

I pursued my chiropractic education at Sherman College of Chiropractic, one of the most prestigious chiropractic schools in the nation. At Sherman, I dedicated myself fully to mastering the art and science of chiropractic care. I spent over 5,000 hours refining my skills in technique, becoming most proficient in the Gonstead method — widely considered one of the most precise and results-driven approaches in chiropractic.

Along the way, I also trained in multiple techniques, including:

• Activator Method
   
• Thompson Drop-Table Technique
   
• Diversified Technique
   
• And countless other adjusting and supportive methods
   

Each technique broadened my ability to tailor care to each individual patient.

During my education, I achieved the prestigious role of ACE Intern (Academy of Chiropractic Excellence). In this role, I had the privilege of teaching both students and doctors how to deliver chiropractic adjustments safely, gently, and effectively. This opportunity deepened my commitment to not only practicing chiropractic, but also ensuring its future by teaching proper technique.

Chiropractic isn’t just my career — it’s my life’s work. Every patient I see is another opportunity to share the same gift of healing that once restored my own life. When you come to Best Life Chiropractic, you can rest assured you are in caring, capable, and experienced hands.

Whether you’re seeking relief from pain or simply want to reach your fullest health potential, I’m here to help you live your Best Life.

When I’m not serving patients, you’ll usually find me outdoor enjoying nature. I’m passionate about fitness, constantly striving for greater levels of health, and I deeply value time with my family. But above all, what brings me the greatest fulfillment is helping people — both in and out of the office — live healthier, happier lives.
