Saint Louis Injury and Rehabilitation Center uses chiropractic care to assist patients to recover strength and mobility.

Applying adjustments to various joints of the spine results in specific and powerful effects to the nervous system. The adjustments are often accompanied by a program of physical therapy to enhance the recovery process. We also offer an array of therapies from massage, stretches, exercises, and modalities, to guide you on your path to pain-free health.

By employing a program of stretching and strengthening exercise, your back and neck can gain the flexibility needed to survive a lifetime of stress and strain.
