Dr. Andrew S. Bonci, DC
A 1989 Cleveland Chiropractic of Kansas City graduate, Dr. Bonci began his practice in the Greenwich Village section of New York City.
Dr. Bonci became interested in myofascial pain and dysfunction (aka trigger point therapy) and studied this modality with Dr. Janet Travell, who developed this technique as the White House physician for the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations in the 1960s.
In 1995, he accepted a faculty position at his alma mater, where he taught diagnostic sciences, focusing on orthopedics, laboratory diagnosis, and differential diagnosis. In 1998, he was appointed to serve as the Department Chair for Diagnostic Sciences and Radiology. He is the recipient of numerous teaching awards from his alma mater.
In 2002, he left formal teaching to pursue private practice. As a bilingual chiropractor, he serves a large Spanish-speaking population in the Greater Kansas City Metro Area.
From 2006 to 2010, Dr. Bonci split his time between private practice and teaching anatomy and physiology to nursing students at the National American University.
Dr. Bonci remains active in private practice and continues to share his skills and expertise with his colleagues by teaching continuing education seminars. Recently, he recognized the importance of cannabis studies with the wave of states legalizing medical and recreational marijuana. He presently holds multiple certifications in medical cannabis.
He lives with his wife, two dogs, and two cats in Mission, Kansas.

Dr. Bonci wrote "Blooms of Bliss" to help people understand how hemp interacts with our endocannabinoid system.
Our bodies naturally produce endocannabinoids, which are similar to the cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant, like THC and CBD. These endocannabinoids bind to cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2) located on cells, triggering various responses within the body.
Hemp and the Balancing Act: CBD and Terpenes
Hemp and the Balancing Act: CBD and Terpenes
Hemp, a variety of cannabis plants with low levels of THC, offers unique compounds that can interact with the ECS and potentially promote balance within our minds and bodies. Here's how:
CBD (Cannabidiol): Unlike THC, CBD is non-psychoactive and doesn't produce an "intoxicated" feeling. Research suggests CBD may influence the ECS by interacting with enzymes that break down endocannabinoids, potentially leading to their increased levels and enhanced effects. This could contribute to feelings of relaxation, reduced anxiety, and improved sleep.
Terpenes: These aromatic compounds in hemp, such as linalool and myrcene, may also interact with the ECS. While research is ongoing, some terpenes may influence the effects of CBD or even modulate CB1 receptor activity. This potential synergy between CBD and terpenes could contribute to people's diverse experiences with hemp-derived products.
It's important to note that research on the ECS and hemp compounds is still evolving. However, the potential for these natural ingredients to interact with our body's cannabinoid system opens doors to exploring their role in promoting overall well-being.
