Chiropractic Care in Clayton, St. Louis
Personalized Chiropractic Care for Your Whole Body
At Clayton Chiropractic Center, chiropractic care is about more than simply getting an adjustment.
We look at how your joints, muscles, movement patterns, and daily activities work together to determine what may be contributing to your pain or limited mobility.
Whether you’re dealing with an injury, recurring pain, sports-related stress, pregnancy-related discomfort, or simply want to maintain your mobility, your treatment is customized to your needs.

Chiropractic Care That Fits You
There is no single technique that works for everyone. We use a variety of chiropractic techniques and therapies and choose the approach that is appropriate for your condition, comfort level, and goals.
Spinal Adjustments
We offer several chiropractic adjustment techniques, including:
- Diversified
- Cox Leander Flexion Distraction
- Activator
- Logan Basic
- Thompson Drop
Some techniques are particularly gentle and may be appropriate for patients who prefer a lighter approach.
More Than Just Spinal Adjustments
Chiropractic care can involve much more than adjusting the spine.
Extremity Adjustments
We can evaluate and treat joints throughout the body, including:
- Foot and ankle
- Knee
- Hip
- Shoulder
- Elbow
- Hand and wrist
This can be especially helpful for athletes, dancers, runners, and anyone dealing with an injury or movement limitation.
Muscle & Soft Tissue Work
Tight or overworked muscles can affect how your joints move and contribute to pain.
Depending on your needs, treatment may include:
- Active Release
- Myofascial Release
- Assisted stretching
- Cupping
- Home exercise programs
Your treatment may combine joint adjustments with muscle work to address the bigger picture.
Additional Therapies
Depending on your condition, we may incorporate other therapies into your treatment plan, including:
- Shockwave therapy
- Infrared light therapy
- Electrical stimulation
- Heat
- Ice
- Spinalator rolling massage table
- Kinesiology taping
These therapies can be used as part of a comprehensive approach to help decrease discomfort, improve mobility, and support recovery.

Kinesiology tape can provide support and proprioceptive feedback while allowing you to continue moving.
We may use taping for areas such as:
- Knees
- Shoulders
- Wrists
- Elbows
- Fingers
- Feet
- Low back
- Pregnancy-related support

Dancers
Dancers place tremendous demands on their bodies. We work with dancers to address injuries, mobility restrictions, muscle imbalances, and movement concerns so they can continue doing what they love.
Runners
Running creates repetitive stress throughout the feet, ankles, knees, hips, and spine. Chiropractic care can help address mobility restrictions and musculoskeletal issues that may affect how you run.
Athletes
Whether you’re playing competitively or simply staying active, injuries and repetitive stress can affect your mobility and performance. Chiropractic care can be incorporated into a broader approach to maintaining movement and recovering from injuries.
Children
Children are active and constantly growing. When appropriate, chiropractic techniques can be modified for younger patients. We use age-appropriate approaches based on the individual child.
Active Adults
You don’t have to wait until you’re injured to pay attention to how your body moves. Some patients use chiropractic care as part of their overall approach to maintaining mobility and staying active.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your first appointment starts with a conversation about what’s bothering you, your activities, and what you want to accomplish.
We’ll perform an examination and evaluate the areas relevant to your symptoms.
From there, we’ll explain what we find and recommend an individualized treatment plan.
You won’t be put on a one-size-fits-all treatment schedule.
Your Body Is Connected
Pain isn’t always coming from the place that hurts.
A restricted ankle can affect the knee. A hip problem can change how you move. Tight muscles can affect joint movement. An old injury can change your movement patterns.
That’s why we look beyond the painful spot and consider how the different parts of your body are working together.
Our goal is to help you move better, feel better, and get back to the activities you enjoy.
Ready to Feel Better?
Whether you’re dealing with pain, recovering from an injury, or looking for personalized chiropractic care to help you stay active, we’re here to help.
