About
We offer experience of success through a blend of differnt but supportive services and provider types designed to complement each other and help you get better quicker, and with less long term cost.
I get to be one of the few people that feels accomplished when you no longer need to come for care. While most businesses would hate this - it is what I thrive on. We love the joy of seeing people get back to a life that doesn't require the continued use of medications or therapy.

A good consultation is key to helping understand underlying causes of a patients problem. Our exams start out with basic things like Orthopedic, Neurological, and Palpatory exam, and then delve into more suble exam like soft tissue, meridian pulse diagnosis, or functional movement distortion evaluations depending on if the client is getting chiropractic, acupuncture, myofascial work, or injection services.

Our clinic has 3 Doctors of Chiropractic. Dr. Steve is board certified in acupuncture, Dr. Gerry is certified in IV Vitamin therapies and Natural Joint Injections, and Dr. Moses has over 30 years of body bork and physical therapy rehab experience.

You name it - we each specialize in different patients. Dr. Gerry loves to help people in severe pain that can barely walk or stand up. Dr. Moses specializes in chronic injuries that prevent or limit people from normal activies of daily liveing, and Dr. Steve focuses on patients with classic aches and pain to odd ball imblances that don't seem to respond well to other forms of therapy.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Every day we see miracles, but the ones that stand out are those patients who arrive hopeless and despondant, and walk out with improvement in their health, and their attitude. I love seeing that spark return - the spark that says, I can do this, I can get better, I can enjoy life again.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
There are a lot of choices in St. Louis to pick from - and most of them good choices. I advise peole to give any provider at least three visits to know if they are the right fit for you, and the right choice to help you get better. Remember that not all physical medicine providers are the same, and just becasue one doctor didn't help, doesn't mean another may not be able to help.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
1.) How much experience does the provider have with cases similar to yours.
2.) How long does your condition usually take to improve.
3.) Will other providers be needed to help accomplish your goals.
4.) How much improvement is realistic to expect.
