OUR SERVICES

Chiropractic Care Personalized For Every Body

A Natural Approach To Drug-free Pain Relief

Every body is different, and so is every path to feeling better. At The Joint Chiropractic, we take a personalized, hands-on approach to care that supports your lifestyle and health goals without the use of drugs or invasive treatments. From easing pain and improving mobility to supporting long-term wellness, our licensed chiropractors provide natural care designed to help you move better and live more fully. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, navigating pregnancy, or staying proactive about your health, we’re here for every age and stage. Chiropractic care is a noninvasive, drug-free approach to managing discomfort and supporting mobility. Adjustments focus on the root cause of pain and tension, helping your body function and heal the way it was designed to. Many people choose chiropractic as part of their long-term wellness routine. For some, it may even serve as an alternative to more invasive treatments. We care for people of all ages and activity levels. Whether you’re active, expecting, recovering, or maintaining your routine, chiropractic adjustments may help you move more comfortably and feel more like yourself.

Who it’s for
Adults, Older Adults, Office Workers, Workers in Physically Demanding Roles , Athletes and Weekend Warriors, Children & Teens

Targeted, hands-on pressure aims to realign joints, reduce nerve interference, and relieve tension. This helps improve mobility and allows the body to function more efficiently. Chiropractic at its core, this technique supports long-term wellness by addressing the root causes of pain and imbalance. For many patients, it may offer a path to relief without relying on medication or invasive procedures.

Manual Spine Adjustments at Des Peres in Des Peres, MO

Who it’s for
Athletes and Weekend Warriors, Office Workers, After an Accident

We use gentle chiropractic adjustments for the shoulders, wrists, knees, and other extremity joints to support proper alignment, posture, and whole-body function. By improving joint motion and reducing tension, these adjustments may help ease discomfort, improve mobility, and promote better movement patterns. For patients recovering from minor injuries as a result of an accident or managing chronic joint issues, chiropractic care can be a supportive tool as they navigate next steps with their broader care team, including physical therapists, orthopedists, or primary care providers.

Extremity Adjustments at Des Peres in Des Peres, MO

Who it’s for
 Children, Older Adults, Individuals Recovering from Injuries, Any Needing a More Gentle Adjustment

Activator-assisted adjustments use a small handheld instrument to deliver gentle, targeted pressure to specific areas of the spine or joints. This low-force technique is ideal for those who need a more delicate approach, including young children, older adults, and individuals recovering from injuries. The activator tool helps improve spinal alignment, reduce nerve interference, and support better mobility without the need for twisting or high-impact movements. It’s a widely used method that offers precise care while supporting comfort, safety, and healing.

Activator Assisted Adjustments at Des Peres in Des Peres, MO

Who it’s for
Office Workers, Workers in Physically Demanding Roles, Children & Teens

Posture affects everything from how you move to how you feel. During a postural and movement assessment, we observe how you sit, stand, walk, and perform everyday motions to identify imbalances, compensations, or strain patterns. These assessments are especially helpful for people who spend long hours at a desk, work in physically demanding environments, or are still growing and developing, such as children and teens. By understanding your movement habits, we can recommend simple changes to your posture, workspace, or daily routine. These changes may help reduce tension, improve mobility, and prevent future discomfort. Small adjustments can lead to meaningful improvements in how your body functions and feels each day.

Whether you sit at a desk, lift and carry throughout the day, or are navigating the physical changes that come with age, we focus on practical strategies you can implement right away. From adjusting your workstation setup to improving your sleep posture or lifting techniques, our ergonomic and lifestyle recommendations are designed to reduce strain, prevent recurring issues, and help you feel better every day.

Care For The Whole Family

Tailored care for every member of the family, from first steps to retirement.

I’ve been a patient for over a year and will probably be one until the day I die. When I first went to The Joint I had a lot of lower back troubles that were paired with a migraine that would bring me to tears. Now I go once a week for a weekly adjustment and haven’t had those painful back troubles nor the migraines. Coming to The Joint has truly been life changing for me. I was super hesitant about joining another membership place where I’d just be another member number, that is so not the case here.
