Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care at St. Joseph Chiropractic focuses on spinal alignment to alleviate pain and improve nervous system function. Through manual adjustments, we address back pain, neck pain, headaches, and mobility issues caused by misalignments. Our approach combines diagnostic precision with personalized treatment plans, using gentle techniques suitable for all ages. Patients benefit from improved posture, reduced inflammation, and enhanced overall wellness without reliance on medication or surgery.
Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy utilizes low-level light to stimulate cellular repair and reduce inflammation. This non-invasive treatment accelerates healing for soft tissue injuries, arthritis, and nerve pain by enhancing ATP production and blood flow. Sessions last 5-15 minutes with no discomfort, making it ideal for acute injuries or chronic conditions like fibromyalgia. Patients experience reduced pain and improved mobility through targeted, drug-free therapy.
Kinesiotaping
Kinesiotaping applies elastic adhesive tape to support muscles and joints while maintaining full range of motion. This technique improves circulation, reduces swelling, and enhances muscle function for conditions like sprains, tendonitis, and sports injuries. The water-resistant tape provides continuous support for days, complementing chiropractic adjustments and preventing re-injury through dynamic stabilization.
Personal Injury Treatment
Specialized care for auto accident injuries and traumatic impacts includes spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and cold laser treatment. We address whiplash, back pain, and nerve damage through comprehensive evaluations and customized rehabilitation plans. Documentation services support insurance claims while our non-invasive approach prioritizes long-term recovery over temporary pain relief, restoring mobility and function after collisions or falls.
Pain Management
Our drug-free pain management combines chiropractic adjustments, decompression therapy, and lifestyle coaching to treat sciatica, migraines, and arthritis. By targeting nerve compression and muscular imbalances, we reduce reliance on medication while improving mobility. Personalized plans integrate exercise programs and ergonomic advice to address root causes of persistent pain, offering sustainable relief for chronic conditions.

After 5 or 6 treatments, I am feeling so much better! Dr. Mattox listens to your complaints and tries to work on those problems at each visit. The staff is so nice and helpful. The answering service has a little bit to be desired.

Almost a year ago, I started going to St. Joseph Chiropractic. That was the best choice I made because I don't nearly have as many headaches or back pain anymore. The staff and Dr. Mattox are extremely nice and always happy to help. One thing I love the most about St. Joseph Chiropractic is how fast I am in and out of there. I would definitely recommend going here if you are looking for a great chiropractor!

Doc has come up with an awesome treatment plan for me that has decreased my migraine SIGNIFICANTLY. Went from 5-6 headaches/migraines a week, to maybe 2 in the last two weeks! I've suffered from Chronic migraine for years and this is by far the most relief I've had! Even my boyfriend has noticed the decrease in my headaches! 10/10 would recommend the girls here are AWESOME always! Never rude, which is hard to find in medical offices I feel like.
Not only are all of those things a plus, but if you need to move your appointment it's not a big deal, no shaming for needing it moved around even if it's 5 minutes before your appointment time. I found them through a Facebook promotion & I'm sure glad I did!
