Dr. Patrick Goldsworthy

Dr. Patrick Goldsworthy, DC, is a Co-Owner and Founder of Core Medical Center and a practicing chiropractor in Blue Springs, MO. He helped build the clinic into an integrated, physician-led practice where chiropractic, medical, physical therapy and rehabilitation teams work under one roof, and his focus on orthopedic and sports-related musculoskeletal care has shaped how patients across the Greater Kansas City metro are evaluated and treated.

As a Diplomate in chiropractic orthopedics, Dr. Goldsworthy brings an advanced, orthopedic-minded approach to spine and joint problems. He starts with a careful history and hands-on examination, connects the findings to the right imaging or diagnostic testing, and builds a plan that fits the patient in front of him rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol. His goal is steady, measurable progress: less pain, better movement, and a clear path back to work, sport or daily life.

Focus Areas

Dr. Goldsworthy works with a wide range of spine and orthopedic complaints, and he is especially comfortable with cases that sit at the intersection of injury, performance and documentation. His clinical focus includes:

• Neck and back pain, including herniated disc and sciatica
• Sports and overuse injuries in athletes of every level, from youth to weekend competitor
• Orthopedic evaluation of joint, ligament and soft-tissue injuries
• Objective examination and reporting for injured workers and accident patients

Because Core Medical Center keeps chiropractic, medical and therapy services connected, Dr. Goldsworthy can hand a patient directly to a colleague when a case calls for more. When an injury needs interventional pain care, he coordinates with Dr. Paul Doskey, our pain management physician, so the patient never has to start over somewhere new.

Approach To Patient Care

Patients describe Dr. Goldsworthy as direct, patient and easy to talk to. He explains what he finds, why it matters, and what each step of care is meant to accomplish, so people leave appointments understanding their own bodies and their own plan. He treats conservative, hands-on care as the first line whenever it is appropriate, and he is honest when a problem needs a different tool. That same orthopedic rigor carries into his examination and reporting work, where clear, objective findings matter as much as treatment.

Services

Dr. Goldsworthy sees patients across several of Core Medical Center’s service lines:

• Chiropractic Care for spine, joint and soft-tissue complaints, with adjustment and manual therapy tailored to the diagnosis
• Sports Chiropractic for athletes managing injury, recovery and performance, keeping training on track wherever possible
• IME and Independent Medical Exam for injured workers, accident patients and attorneys who need an objective evaluation and impairment-rating support

His work as a chiropractor and his orthopedic background also support the clinic’s wider injury and rehabilitation care, and he partners closely with the physical therapy and rehabilitation teams so recovery stays coordinated from the first visit forward.

Core Medical Center is in Blue Springs, minutes from Saint Luke’s East Hospital and Centerpoint Medical Center, and serves patients throughout the Kansas City area.
