Our clinic is dedicated to helping people just like you overcome pain, restore mobility, and get back to living life the way it was meant to be lived—without being held back by headaches, back pain, or joint problems.

Why Choose Classic Functional Health?

Affordable Care Without Surprises
New patients start with our $69 special: a full exam and adjustment. From there, you can choose single visits, prepaid packages, or our $100/month wellness plan. No hidden fees, no pushy contracts.

The Sanders Special APA™ Adjustment
Dr. Sanders developed his own gravity-assisted decompression technique using a custom-built table. This Automatic Priority Adjustment is unique to our office and delivers precision Y-axis decompression combined with full-spine and extremity adjustments.

Patient-Centered Philosophy
We don’t pressure you into endless visits. We design a clear treatment plan to relieve your pain and then give you the choice of whether to continue with maintenance care.

Whole-Body & Extremity Care
Chiropractic is about more than “cracking backs.” At Classic Functional Health, we specialize in extremity adjustments —shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, ankles, and feet. We also perform 3D foot scans and fit patients with Foot Levelers custom orthotics , addressing underlying foot mechanics that affect the entire body. By restoring function throughout the body, we help you move and feel better from head to toe.

Meet Dr. David Sanders

Dr. David Sanders, DC, knows firsthand what it’s like to suffer from pain that just won’t go away. For years, he endured daily, debilitating headaches. As a biology graduate working in the pharmaceutical industry, he relied on medication to cope. But the pills never solved the problem—they only masked it.

Everything changed when he reluctantly tried chiropractic care. Within just a few visits, his headaches dramatically improved. That experience was so transformative that Dr. Sanders decided to change careers. He went on to earn his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Cleveland University–Kansas City and has since dedicated his life to helping others find the same relief.

Today, he combines his background in biology and pharmaceuticals with years of chiropractic expertise. He believes the body is fearfully and wonderfully made, fully capable of healing when properly cared for. His unique perspective, innovative APA™ table design, and patient-first approach make him one of the most trusted chiropractors in Independence, MO.

Our Chiropractic Services in Independence, MO

The Sanders Special APA™ Adjustment
Many people today are searching for a “Ring Dinger®” style Y-axis decompression adjustment but don’t want to travel across the country to find it. That’s why Dr. Sanders created the Sanders Special APA™ (Automatic Priority Adjustment) right here in Independence, MO.

This unique technique uses a custom-built decompression table that allows for a gravity-assisted, full-spine adjustment along the Y-axis. Like the Ring Dinger®, it provides a deep release many patients have never experienced before—but with important enhancements for safety, comfort, and precision.

Because Dr. Sanders designed the table himself, the APA™ Adjustment combines the dramatic benefits of Y-axis decompression with a more patient-friendly approach. Every session also includes extremity adjustments (shoulders, knees, wrists, feet, etc.), so your whole body is balanced—not just your spine.

Full-Spine and Extremity Adjustments
From the spine to the shoulders, elbows, hips, knees, ankles, and feet, we restore mobility and reduce pain throughout the body.

3D Foot Scans and Orthotics
We perform 3D scans of the feet and provide Foot Levelers custom orthotics. Addressing foot mechanics improves posture, spinal alignment, and overall function.

Roller-Table Therapy
Our relaxing roller-table provides “spine-hydrating, muscle-melting” support, making your adjustment even more effective.

Relief and Wellness Care
We design care plans that meet your specific needs. Whether you want short-term relief or long-term wellness, we’ll help you choose the plan that works best for you.
