I don't have much experience with chiropractors outside of this one, but I know that Dr. Maffit puts in the extra time to make sure I understand the purpose behind his practice. While he's working with patients, he will keep them engaged with conversation and is friendly and willing to help with problems beyond just the spine. Office is well cleaned, the tables are sanitized between patients, and the location is right off of a major road. Conclusion: If you're looking for a chiropractor in the St. Louis, Dr. Maffit is your guy.

We have been going to Dr. Chris Maffit since he opened his practice in 2001. He is incredibly knowledgeable and has a passion for helping his patients become healthier. and to stay healthy. He truly cares for each patient and their individual needs. He has helped me with back, shoulder, neck and hip pain over the last 20 years. His upper cervical care is gentle and extremely effective. He has certainly helped me maintain an active lifestyle!

Dr. Chris is awesome at what he does! If you suffer from back and neck pain and don't like the idea of the normal cracking and popping that's normally associated with Chiropractors, you need to check him out!

I was referred to DSC by my partner who received care here several years ago. I started coming to DSC mid/late 2019, and have never been happier about the care I have received thus far. Dr. Maffit is so wonderful! He is personable, answers all of my questions thoroughly and comprehensively, is super transparent, and really takes his time in getting to know his patients.

He is a wonderful human being! I frequented a Gonstead chiropractor's treatment for about 3 years, but I think that I have found more relief and happiness with my body in the last several months under the meticulous care of Dr. Maffit. You will not be disappointed with the care you receive from DSC - totally affordable with the BEST care!

Dr. Chris is so knowledgeable! He is good with advice on how to eat healthier and can recommend beneficial supplements! i was having headaches and a stiff neck a few months back and had gone to my primary care, they didn't have a clue. Dr Chris was able to get me up and going again without the headaches and neck stifness. i can tell when things are getiing out of alignment and time to go back for a visit or 2!

I suffered with back issues for nearly 30 years. I visited dozens of chiropractors during that time. They could all ease the pain short term but no one was able to determine the root cause of the issue. That changed when I visited Dr. Maffit. After a few visits, the issue was solved. Now I go 3-4 times a year for a tune-up and remain pain free.

I like Dr Chris because he thoroughly explains the procedure and process to get your body aligned back in order correctly, not only medically but nutritionally. He actually spends much needed time with clients to make sure that the outcome is positive and permanently changing in your body. He helped me overcome past traumatic fears of damage done. to my neck and has aligned my neck according to NUUCA procedure. Dr. Chris is very caring, and I would recommend him the best of the best. I appreciate his stellar verbal communication and heartfelt services to the community.

HIGHLY recommend Dr. Chris Maffit DC! I have been searching for a top chiropractor in St. Louis with extensive education, experience and one who also specializes in treating athletes- and I have found him! I've been to multiple chiropractors and he is by far the very best. I love the unique and holistic approach he takes- using the NUCCA Spinal Correction (which is a much more gentle and non-invasive way of adjusting plus more effective!).

After just a few adjustments I experienced noticeable differences and as a swimmer, my performance greatly improved as well! He really helped me prepare for my open-swim event that I was worried about because I was in pain and clearly out of alignment!
Dr. Maffit really cares about each of his patients and providing the best care and most up-to-date techniques possible. It is obvious what his passion is and he does a wonderful job. Functional Medicine at it's finest! Thank you, Doctor! I will be spreading the word about you!

Seems to be in the business of making money and actually discourages use of your own insurance company. spent a lot of money for 1 visit and no adjustments were made.

I have been seeing Dr Maffit for almost 3 years now, he has followed me through both pregnancies and has been a life saver when it comes to my back pains. I like the gentle approach to Chiropractic that he practices. Also, I want to say that he has the best massage therapist I have used ever! Tracy has golden hands and I would recommend her to anyone who needs a massage therapist that actually helps with tensions and pain!

I went to a different chiropractor for years and never got better. I would have relief for anywhere from less than a day to maybe a week, but the pain always returned. I finally realized that the doctor was treating my symptom instead of the problem. My personal trainer recommended Dr. Maffit, and it has been LIFE CHANGING! I have been with Dr. Maffit over 5 years.

Since my initial course of treatment, I have been seeing him once per month for maintenance and I remain PAIN FREE! Unfortunately I recently moved to Colorado and have to find a new chiropractor. Hopefully I can find one 1/2 as good as Dr. Maffit.

Dr. Matt Flory has corrected all my previous neck / spine misalignment, & I no longer suffer from chronic neck pain. His practice is totally different from any other chiropractic treatment I have had. Highly recommended!

I have been going to Dr. Maffit for over 2 years now - I'm an RN and chiropractic care helps to prevent and treat back/head/neck pain for me. I love that there is no cracking involved. NUCCA is incredibly gentle, yet very powerful. Not only is Dr. Maffit a fantastic NUCCA doctor, he has also helped with other health issues including an injured wrist, and medical conditions such as acid reflux.

Such a professional and pleasant office. They have been so helpful in repairing my back and neck from a car accident I was in. When I thought the pain could never disappear, Dr. Flory helped me improve my mobility and reduced my pain in just two visits! I would recommend this facility to anyone that is ready to end their pain and dedicate some effort into their health and wellbeing. Life pain free is worth living!

Delta Spinal Care has saved my life! After starting treatment with Dr. Flory in December, I have stopped taking many of the medications that were needed to control my daily headaches and weekly migraines. I have also made great progress in my fibromyalgia and have a significant improvement in my overall health. The staff at Delta Spinal Care truly cares about your well being! I would strongly suggest Delta Spinal Care to anyone who has struggled with neck or back pain.

Are you tired of being in constant pain? Have you tried just about everything, getting some relief but then it stops working and or your finances are exhausted along with you? That too was me until one day, while researching to find help for my cervical, sciatica pain, and herniated discs, up popped a 3D rotating spine simulator, from Delta Spinal.

There was an invitation to click on the simulator; I did so by selecting the areas that were giving me such awful pain, as I clicked the corresponding symptoms came into view as well as the nerves that were troubling me. What I also saw was that my tilted head was also a symptom. I noticed in my recent photos, that my head was tilted so drastically in comparison to all others.

Then and there I decided to check this out and clicked on contact us. Within minutes I received a phone call from the Dr.Maffit himself! It didn't matter that I had little too no money or the fact that I lived several miles away; he assured me he could help and after his caring conversation I believed it bore further investigation. With my first appointment now made a miracle was about to unfold, the miracle that has changed my life.

First visit was talking history, about the symptoms plaguing my life with debilitating pain, and suffering. Then he preformed a high-tech diagnostic test, using a machine similar to an ultra sound, (rolling thermal scan) down my spinal column to measure skin temperatures, to find any and all my nervous system disturbances, these temperatures told him which other vital organs, and glands, that may be affected.

It also indicates the presence and severity of abnormal muscle activity, such as weaknesses or excessive tissue thick ness's. Next he ran a Static EMG scan, on my muscles, looking to locate abnormal tension, or fatigue, and compared these readings to a fixed Normative scan, this shows a correct pattern of symmetrical standards for balance, which is the goal for individuals to obtain.

Last but not least his lab tech took orthogonal X-rays, this shows him the spinal column from the top of the head looking down on its alignment in the body itself. Each visit balance is measured, and the Atlas bone is adjusted using precise measurements, by utilizing math, geometry, and physics, to slide everything back into place with his hand, which feels like an Angels touch.

Never once has there been any pulling, jerking, or yanking, no, no, no, never ever! I call it technology meets chiropractic, Spinal Engineers if you will. The results after 12 visits, is I can walk un-assisted around my home, (I still use a cane outside for assurance I won't have a set back). After 11 long years of inability, I can cross my legs, I can step up to 12 inches, (I used to only be able to make 1/8th of an inch, assisted) absolutely no sciatica pain, relief from painful herniated discs, and 3 subluxations, heartburn is gone, am off one high blood pressure medicine, and my second BP medicine is cut in half, and I no longer feel weighted down by my body; instead I feel light on my feet.

The adjustment he makes to my adrenal glands has reduced my stress. Bladder incontinence, gone and my head is no longer tilted in my pictures unless a photographer tells me to tilt it and please you do not have to tell me to smile because that is one thing that I have plenty of.

Sincerely yours,

Smiling Karen Pilger

I had sciatica and was going to physical therapy, I was still in pain until I found Delta Spinal. Dr. Chris is very understanding and wanted to find the cause of the pain. He did, he also explains the treatment in detail and makes you feel comfortable and part of the process. I have recommended several family members, friends and co-workers. The staff, Trudy, Kelsey, and Emily are warm and outstanding people and welcomes you with a smile.

My husband and daughter are patients of Dr. Chris also!! Delta Spinal will always be our chiropractor home.... We love them!! If you are tired of being in pain and want a solution, I recommend Delta Spinal highly.

I was due to have a cervical fusion last week and the Dr. cancelled a week prior saying I was high risk since I had a heart attack in October and was on blood thinners. My Cardiologist wouldn't take me off the thinners so I had no options. My brother went through the NUCCA process where they align your spine based on all the testing and x rays they completed.

The process is painless and I am getting great results. The staff there is fantastic and Dr. Chris Maffit takes time to explain everything to me and answer all questions. Glad I chose this procedure and this particular practice to complete the work.

I was in alot of pain and doctors told me there was no hope and that I would have to take pain pills so I went online and found Delta Spinal Care. I went and met Dr. Flory, he told me he could help me, so he began to work on my head. Light touches no snapping or popping just light touches. Over time I got better and better. I am so blessed to have found Dr. Flory. He's the best, so if you have pain in your body Delta Spinal Care is the answer. They are the best.

From the moment you enter the door of Delta Spinal Care, you will know you are in a very special doctor's office. Smiling staff greet you by name. The sound of water in an indoor pond sets a relaxing tone. There is good reading material available in the waiting room, which is an open space with lots of chairs, and coffee is available to enjoy as well.

There is never a long wait as appointments are met in a very timely manner. I think Dr. Chris is a wonderful and caring doctor. He doesn't just adjust you, he really talks to you about what's going on in your life and makes helpful recommendations for healthy living.

Both my son and I have received excellent care with great results at the hands of Dr. Chris Maffit. Personally, I would not be participating in the activities that I love if I hadn't been under his care at Delta Spinal. I'm free now to be able to play my saxophone again, do all the fine sewing, cooking and crafts that I enjoy, sleep well at night, and go about my daily routine without the fear of my neck, shoulders and hands seizing up and tingling so bad that I can't use them at all.

Thank God for caring talented doctors like Dr. Chris Maffit. I'm glad I called him to an schedule appointment. I urge you to call him too if you are suffering in your neck and back or anywhere in your skeletal, nerve, or muscle system.
