Dr. Jonah Yakel

Dr. Jonah Yakel is a healer, teacher, speaker, chiropractor, and flow practitioner.

In 2002 he awakened to his life’s calling, abruptly leaving his career as an electrical engineer, to pursue his dream of being an alternative health care practitioner.  Guided by the knowledge that the body has an innate intelligence and contains a potential for healing far greater than any outside source could ever provide, he obtained his doctorate in chiropractic from Parker College of Chiropractic in 2006.  He has studied with leaders in the field of chiropractic and natural health including Dr. Lance Wright, founder and developed of Flow, and Dr. Donald Epstein, founder of Network Spinal Analysis.

In May of 2009, Dr. Yakel was involved in a near fatal car accident resulting in over 25 broken bones and significant internal injuries, leading to a month long stay in ICU.  He has since made a full recovery believed only possible through a combination of gentle adjustments, nutrition, exercise, and mindful living.  He is now left with a deep gratitude for life and a passion to help as many people as possible access their natural gifts and experience the best life has to offer.

Dr. Yakel has owned health and wellness clinics in Tucson, AZ, and Scottsdale, AZ, and is currently serving his community in Overland Park, KS.  His family practice includes a wide variety of people including newborns and children in need of an immune boost, parents seeking balance and stress relief, athletes gaining an edge in performance, and people experiencing and recovering from a multitude of health challenges.

In addition to providing the best chiropractic care possible, Dr. Yakel writes, lectures, and teaches within the community on natural health and healing.

When not devoting time to the healing profession, Dr. Yakel loves spending time with his family, riding his bicycle throughout Kansas City, spending time outdoors with nature, and pursuing opportunities for personal growth.  He is currently married with two children.
