At Back in Motion Chiropractic & Rehabilitation, we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic care to each and every patient. We have included information below about the different chiropractic services offered in our St. Louis chiropractic office, but please call us at (314) 843-0005 if you have any questions!
Chiropractic Care
We provide advanced spinal correction and chiropractic adjustments utilizing "state of the art" chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic care have chiropractors been able to provide the level of help and expertise that is available today. Many of the newest chiropractic techniques are actually safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. As a chiropractor who cares about utilizing the most advanced chiropractic techniques, Dr. Megan Floarke has years of training, expertise and experience in helping patients get pain relief for back pain, neck pain, headaches, and other related conditions originating from the spine. Chiropractic care under a trained professional can even be used to prevent injuries and help you achieve total health or wellness. Some techniques that Dr. Floarke utilizes are Diversified, Thompson, Cox Flexion Distraction, Activator, Graston/IASTM, Kenisio Tape, and Active Release Technique (A.R.T).
Corrective Exercises
At Back in Motion Chiropractic & Rehabilitation, we teach our patients how to perform special "blueprint" exercises which can help strengthen and correct the irregularities in their body which may be causing pain. Many of these corrective exercises can actually be performed in the comfort of your own home to help improve the effectiveness of your chiropractic care and spinal correction plan. In addition to skeletal misalignment, you may be experiencing pain that is caused by muscles and connective tissues which are out of their proper place. Other types of pain such as back pain, neck pain, and headaches are caused by muscles and tissues that are being used improperly, causing injuries over time. In each case, targeted corrective exercises and stretches from our experienced chiropractor will help you feel good while also helping your body achieve balance and health.
Lifestyle Advice
Many of our patients come to see our chiropractor to address a specific pain symptom such as back pain, neck pain or headaches. While our chiropractor will address each patient's specific condition with chiropractic care, we often find it helpful to "coach" our patients towards achieving a healthier lifestyle. For example, there may be certain activities that you should avoid or do differently to prevent yourself from unintentionally aggravating your particular health challenges. The goal of including lifestyle advice with a chiropractic care plan is to help each and every patient achieve the fulfilling and happy lifestyle they deserve, one that is full of the activities that are enjoyed most. We recognize that every single one of our patients is a whole person, and we use our expertise to help them reach total health and wellness.
Nutritional Counseling
What does nutrition have to do with chiropractic care? The goal of chiropractic care is to help patients achieve total health and balance with their body, and as part of that goal we provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices. Nutritional counseling by our experienced chiropractic health professionals can assist a patient on their return to optimal health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you? Interested in decreasing inflammation in the body or sheading unwanted weight? At our St. Louis chiropractic clinic, we can provide each patient with a structured nutritional program that is based on their individual needs
K-Laser Therapy
Class 4 cold laser therapy is a relatively new therapy that is growing rapidly in the health care field due to it's astonishing ability to reduce pain and increase tissue healing rapidly. During Laser Therapy infrared laser light interacts with the tissues at the cellular level causing the metabolic activity to increase within the cell. This improves the transport of nutrients across the cell membrane and thus initiates the production of cellular energy (ATP) that leads to a cascade of beneficial effects including pain and inflammation reduction. Numerous studies show that laser therapy can help with an assortment of conditions including: Tendinopathy, Carpal Tunnel, Plantar Fasciitis, Neuropathy, Sports Injuries, Shingles, Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Trigeminal Neuralgia, Muscle Sprain/Strain, and joint pain to name a few. Cold laser therapy is not typically covered under insurance, so to make it more accessible to all of our patients affordable packages are available. Also ask out our $20 intro trial offer (excludes Medicare patients).
Spinal & Postural Screenings
There is a saying that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Your spinal health is no exception. Posture and spinal screenings by a trained and experienced chiropractor such as Dr. Megan Floarke can help reveal important health information, unlocking the door to improved health and well-being. In order to help the St. Louis community, we provide screenings at area malls, community events, health fairs and places of employment. Contact us today at (314) 843-0005 to arrange a screening at your event or workplace.
