Dr. J Asks some important questions of interest to St Louis residents - Chiropractor St Louis Dr. J Asks...

How come medical doctors don't recommend chiropractic?
That's changing. Years of prejudice and bias are giving way to research showing the benefits of chiropractic care. As more and more St Louis folks seek alternatives to drugs and surgery, more and more medical practitioners are referring their patients to chiropractors.
Are chiropractors just concerned with the spine?
Our interest in the spine is because it covers the major communications conduit between your brain and your body. As a St Louis chiropractor my job is to locate areas (usually along the spine) that interfere with proper nerve communications to and from your brain. Chiropractic adjustments help restore nervous system integrity. In this way, chiropractic care can affect the function of your entire body.
