Health+Plus

Our Story

Health+Plus is a premier health and wellness center in the Kansas City area, offering a variety of diagnostic services and alternative health care treatments. Whether you're chronically sick and need to restore your health; wanting to customize your wellness, prevent future illness; in pain and need relief or want to reduce the effects of stresses on your life - Health+Plus has ‘non-surgical, non-pharmaceutical’ solutions for you. Good health is much more than the lack of symptoms. It includes a healthy appearance, good energy level, mental clarity, relaxed muscles, optimal circulation, and a good self-image. Part of optimal health is the feeling and appearance of overall well-being and vitality. Intravenous Nutritional Therapy provides many health benefits by delivering nutrients directly into your bloodstream, and to every cell of your body. Nutritional supplements taken by mouth are, of course, of great benefit. Yet even the healthiest person only absorbs a fraction of the nutrients in capsules or tablets. When a person has been chronically ill, or is middle-aged or older, digestion is much less efficient, and malnutrition results. Intravenous or intramuscular administration of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other nutrients gives you optimal benefit. Intravenous nutrition is used for effectively treating various health conditions, as well as promoting good overall health. Countless research studies have shown that intravenous administration of high dosage nutrients is highly successful in helping the body recover from a wide range of health problems and symptoms. This adjunctive nutritional therapy has a very impressive record in helping with cardiovascular problems, asthma, liver dysfunctions, neurological problems, weakened immunity, and many others. Studies have also shown that high-dose vitamin infusions are effective in helping the body fight cancer. Common benefits include improved energy and stamina, and sharper mental clarity. Nutritional infusions are very effective at removing accumulated toxins from the body. Other benefits of intravenous antioxidants include increased collagen production in the skin – which results in firmer, more youthful-appearing skin. Bio-Identical Hormones - As we age, hormone levels begin to decline. This is accelerated by stress, poor diet, and environmental toxins. Hormone imbalances can begin at any age. Common effects of low hormone production or hormone imbalances include: difficult weight loss, insomnia, fatigue, poor concentration, memory loss, attention deficit, low libido, difficulty with erections, immune problems, joint swelling, increased cardiovascular risk, PMS, menstrual problems, difficult pregnancy, loss of strength, and accelerated aging. The Doctors at Health+Plus recommend bio-identical topical hormones to help replenish deficiencies and restore balance. We also recommend dietary and lifestyle improvements to help you feel your best. Non-pressurized Oxygen Therapy helps rejuvenate the cells, improves energy, enhances immune function, improves the body’s pH balance, and helps the body deal with toxins. It often helps with mental clarity, reduces anxiety, relieves depression and improves sleep. Sessions of breathing 95% pure oxygen also improves skin tone, giving a more youthful appearance. Neuromuscular Therapy is a very gentle reflex method of relaxing muscle spasms and reducing abnormal tension of the nervous system. When a person has stress, it results in spasm in the muscles, change in nerve function, changes in circulation and blood pressure, and changes in digestion. These are ways in which the body normally responds to stress. But once a stress has passed, the body is supposed to allow all those functions to return to normal. If stress s prolonged or constant, or when a stress is particularly severe, the body develops a habit pattern. Instead of relaxing, the nerves transmit hyperactive signals, muscles stay tight, and blood pressure, hormone function, or digestion may get stuck in “emergency mode”. When that happens, sickness and symptoms are the eventual result. Neuromuscular therapy helps reduce the tension in the spine and nerves, and relaxes the muscle spasms to reduce stress and allow the release of toxins. Studies have shown that when a person is embarrassed about his/her appearance, depression and stress result. Dissatisfaction with appearance can have a negative effect on emotions, mental clarity, and even physical health. Research has also shown that people enjoy happier moods, more self-satisfaction, and feel more youthful when they improve their physical appearance. Naturally, we all grow older. Medical science has shown without question that factors such as stress, toxins, poor diet, and inadequate exercise speed up the aging process. When stress can be reduced, toxins avoided and eliminated, and nutrition improved, we not only feel better – we look better - we are better. At Health+Plus and Health+Plus Image we use rejuvenating therapies that help optimize your overall well-being. Some of the very same treatments we use to help relieve symptoms and improve health are also effective at slowing the effects of aging, and enhancing self-image. Our staff includes licensed massage therapists and estheticians who will help you feel and look your best. Massage Therapy reduces muscle tension, helps relieve stress, improves circulation and lymphatic drainage, relieves pain, improves mobility, reduces feelings of depression and anxiety, and feels great. Because massage increases production of collagen and elastin, skin tone and appearance improve. Whole Body Vibration helps increase circulation and lymphatic drainage, tones muscles, improves balance and coordination, stimulates the release of hormones that decline as we age, and enhances metabolism by burning calories. A series of Whole Body Vibration treatments has also been shown to increase bone density, improve joint mobility, help with bladder control problems, and improve body shape. Acoustic Lipolysis is a specialized form of therapeutic ultrasound that painlessly causes fat cells to open, releasing their contents to be eliminated via the lymphatic system. As a result, people lose unwanted fat deposits, and rapidly lose inches without dieting or surgery. Because fat cells store toxins, Acoustic Lipolysis also helps with detoxification. This new therapy is especially effective in improving the shape of specific areas – such as the ‘pouch’ of fat below the navel that is so difficult to get rid of with dieting and exercise. Low-Vacuum Cupping Massage improves circulation and lymphatic drainage. This modern therapy device provides effective and comfortable treatment to reduce abnormal congestion of breast tissue. A series of cupping treatments also helps firm and tone the tissues that sag with aging, and can help enlarge underdeveloped breasts. The treatment also encourages the pituitary gland to release hormones that induce relaxation and well-being. When used on the face, cupping massage comfortably helps improve facial skin tone. The HCG Diet is an excellent way to rapidly lose weight in a safe manner. This special doctor-supervised diet is intended for quick weight-loss while resetting the body’s metabolism, and improving body contour. Many people experience improved digestion and mental clarity while following this diet. Ion Cleanse is a relaxing foot bath that draws out everyday toxins that accumulate in our bodies. You’ll be astonished at the results! At Health+Plus it's all about you. We focus on you and your needs in a friendly and caring way. You're always in charge of your health care. The doctor and staff make time to hear you, explain your conditions and the treatments recommended, and will answer questions so you can understand before you decide on a treatment plan. We do things a little differently at Health+Plus. Doctor and staff are respectful of you and your time. The doctor personally takes time to explain your examination and laboratory findings to you. The doctor makes treatment recommendations, then you decide what approach you want to follow. Laboratory results are usually available the next business day - not two weeks in the future. We give you a copy of your examination findings and your lab results. Our fees are affordable. The atmosphere of the office is enjoyable and casual, and you're treated like an individual - not a case number. You, Dr Clark and the Clinic staff are all involved in which types of alternative health care you pursue. At Health+Plus we promote wellness, improved quality of life and encourage people to strive for optimal health. Some people are interested only in symptom relief. Others are seeking better overall health. Some want to have a specific treatment of which they have heard. We're ready to help you feel better, and live better, ‘be’ better. Dr. David B.
