Meet the Doctors
Dr. Racheal McCrackin
*Dr Heather Racheal McCrackin*
Dr. Racheal graduated in May 2014 with a Doctor of Chiropractic and a Bachelors in Human Science. Dr. Racheal grew up in Camden Point, Missouri. As a lifelong migraine sufferer, she has been taken through every medicinal treatment possible. She finally found relief from her migraines with chiropractic care, which lead to a desire to help other pain sufferers.
Dr Racheal has found her passion through treating and educating families throughout infancy to adulthood. She has completed post-graduate certification in pregnancy and pediatric care through the International Chiropractic Pediatrics Association (ICPA). She has also completed the Webster technique certification which addresses specific chiropractic needs of expecting mothers.
Dr. Alison
Alison Anstaett, DC, CACCP
Dr. Alison graduated in December 2013 with a Doctor of Chiropractic and has a Bachelors in Human Biology. She is a member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) and is Certified by the Academy Council of Chiropractic Pediatrics and has obtained her C.A.C.C.P. , being recognized as a Prenatal and Pediatric Chiropractor. She is also Webster Certified making her a great choice for expecting mothers.
Dr. Alison grew up in Leavenworth, KS and decided to pursue Chiropractic because she was diagnosed with moderate to severe scoliosis (curvature of the spine) at age 12. Not knowing about Chiropractic, she was placed on a “watch and wait” plan from her primary care physician to see if the scoliosis would progress. Before she knew it, her scoliosis turned for the worse and she was forced to wear an uncomfortable (and expensive) back brace. As active as she was with sports, this was not practical. Her scoliosis was not only causing physical pain but emotional suffering as well. Clothes never fitted right, there were obvious deformities with one shoulder higher than the other and one side of her back sticking further out … the list goes on. Out of desperation she decided to try Chiropractic.
Chiropractic not only helped with the pain, but it improved her overall function and structure of the spine by improving muscle tone and posture. Dr. Alison decided since Chiropractic helped her she can help others as well.
In October 2016, Dr. Alison was diagnosed with stage III Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (breast cancer) and had to undergo extensive surgery and therapy. Through her battle and journey, she teamed with Jill's Hope Foundation (local cancer support group) to better assist her patients that have gone/going through cancer. The foundation helps financially with various integrative therapies that include (but are not limited to) reiki, reflexology, acupuncture, massage, meditation, oils and now chiropractic. Call Dr. Alison if you or a loved one are going through cancer. She is here to support, encourage, educate, empower and most importantly, offer quality Chiropractic care.
On January 6th of 2023, Dr. Alison's daughter (age 7 at the time of diagnosis) was diagnosed with CLN3 Batten disease. This is a fatal, neurodegenerative disease. Faced with all the challenges, she is dedicated and active in several advocacy groups involving children with rare diseases. Many children with Batten have similar traits to those diagnosed with seizure disorders, autism, ADHD, developmental and behavioral regression, and other lysosomal or metabolic disorders. Dr. Alison is challenging herself everyday, by learning the language, and taking extra courses to better understand how to help these children in a collaborative twist of conventional and alternative care. Since Chiropractic has a MAJOR influence on the nervous system, she is extremely excited to help this pediatric population.
Join her daughter's FB group at Ella-Mae's Batten Battle to learn more.
Both doctors have successfully finished 200 hours (each) geared towards treating pregnant women and children and are eligible for certification from the Academy of Chiropractic Family Practice and the Council on Chiropractic Pediatrics (C.A.C.C.P.), which is very well respected in the pediatric community.
*Webster Technique is an evaluation for any abnormal pelvic biomechanics, which may begin to interfere with normal pelvic function potentially leading to in-utero constraint and fetal positioning issues.
