PRAIRIE VILLAGE DOCTORS

DR. COLTON BARTELS, DC, ACU

Doctor of Chiropractic
Nationally Board Certified in Physiotherapy
Certified in Acupuncture & Meridian Therapy

Dr. Colton Bartels was born in Nebraska and grew up in central Kansas. As a competitive runner, Dr. Bartels’ first experience with chiropractic came as a result of a sports injury. Initially, a trip to the emergency room resulted in being told there was nothing serious going on, and he was given a prescription for painkillers and was told to rest. Two weeks later, having experienced no improvement, Dr. Bartels went to a chiropractor, and within 2 visits was back out on the track running. This experience led to his desire to pursue chiropractic as a profession.

DR. ALEK SANTO, DC, ACU

Doctor of Chiropractic
Board Certified in Acupuncture
Nationally Board Certified in Physiotherapy

Dr. Santo is from a small town called Rose Hill, Kansas. Dr. Santo was very involved in the community and participated in sports such as soccer, basketball, and track. After an over-use injury in his athletics, Dr. Santo reached out to a chiropractor in the area. With this being the first time seeing a chiropractor, Dr. Santo did not think it would help the injury. Little did he know, he was able to return to the sports he loved within a few weeks. This is what led Dr. Santo to pursuing a chiropractic career.
