Blue Springs Clinic Highlights Nonsurgical Pain Management for Kansas City-Area Patients
BLUE SPRINGS, MO – October 26, 2026 – Core Medical Center, an integrated medical, physical therapy, and chiropractic clinic in Blue Springs, Missouri, is highlighting its nonsurgical program for patients looking for pain management in Kansas City, MO, and across the surrounding metro. The program is medically directed by a board-certified anesthesiologist and begins with an evaluation designed to identify where a patient’s pain is coming from. Each patient leaves that first visit with a written care plan that may combine medical management, physical therapy, rehabilitation, and chiropractic care, all coordinated under one roof. The clinic also serves patients through its Overland Park, Kansas, location.
A Common Problem With Few Clear Starting Points
Chronic pain is one of the most widespread health concerns in the country. According to the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics, 24.3% of U.S. adults had chronic pain in 2023, and 8.5% had pain that frequently limited their life or work activities.
For many people in Blue Springs and eastern Jackson County, that pain has a familiar pattern. Low-back pain or sciatica flares up after a long shift. Neck pain lingers months after a car accident. Numbness and burning in the feet make it hard to sleep. Many have already tried rest, over-the-counter medication, or a few visits with a single provider, only to see the problem return once normal routines resume.
Others are trying to understand their options before agreeing to surgery. Interest in conservative, nonsurgical chronic pain management has grown as patients look for care that addresses the cause of their symptoms and keeps them working and active, rather than relying on medication alone.
How the Program Works
Care at the pain management clinic starts with a detailed evaluation. The team reviews the patient’s history, performs a hands-on exam, looks at existing imaging when it helps clarify the picture, and works to pinpoint the structure most likely driving the pain, whether that is a joint, a nerve, a disc, or surrounding muscle.
From there, patients receive a written plan before they leave. Depending on the findings, that plan may include:
-
Medical management, with medication used carefully and for short periods when it is appropriate
-
Targeted injection procedures for inflamed joints, nerves, or spinal structures, when a case calls for them
-
Physical therapy and rehabilitation to rebuild strength, mobility, and tolerance for daily tasks
-
Chiropractic care to support joint motion in the spine and extremities
-
Follow-up visits that allow the plan to change as the patient progresses
-
Referral for surgical evaluation when that is the right next step
Conditions commonly seen in the program include sciatica, neuropathy and other nerve pain, chronic back and neck pain, joint pain related to arthritis or past injuries, and headaches that have not responded to standard care. Results vary by patient and condition, and the care team adjusts each plan based on how the patient responds.
“A lot of the people we see have been dealing with pain for a long time, and they’ve usually tried a few things on their own first,” said Dr. Patrick Goldsworthy, D.C., founder and chiropractor at Core Medical Center. “What they want is a clear answer about what’s going on and a plan that makes sense. When the medical side, the therapy side, and the chiropractic side are looking at the same patient together, we can usually get much closer to that.”
Coordinated Care Close to Home
The program’s medical direction comes from Dr. Paul Doskey, M.D., a board-certified anesthesiologist whose work centers on pain management. He works alongside the clinic’s nurse practitioner, physical therapists, and chiropractors, so patients do not have to coordinate appointments and records between separate offices.
That setup is especially relevant for patients recovering from work-related or auto injuries. Core Medical Center works with Missouri and Kansas workers’ compensation, federal workers’ compensation, and personal injury cases, which can simplify the process for patients who are trying to recover while staying on the job.
Patients can find the Blue Springs pain management clinic at 1131 W. Main St., Suite C.
“Surgery isn’t the default here, but we’re honest when it’s the right call, and we’ll refer when it is,” Goldsworthy said. “For most people, the first step is understanding the problem and building a plan they can stick with. Having everyone under one roof means patients aren’t stuck waiting weeks between providers to get started.”
Scheduling a Consultation
Core Medical Center is accepting new patients, and same-week appointments are typically available. Adults living with ongoing back, neck, joint, or nerve pain can learn more about pain management in Kansas City, MO, and schedule a consultation through the clinic’s website or by calling the Blue Springs office. The first visit includes the full evaluation and a review of the recommended plan. Patients with insurance or claim-related questions can ask the front desk when booking.
The clinic serves eastern Jackson County and the greater Kansas City area, along with patients on the Kansas side of the metro through its Overland Park office.
