Services & Techniques

At McIntyre Chiropractic & Acupuncture Centre, we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic wellness care to our patients. Below is a sampling of the different chiropractic services we offer in our St. Louis office.

Chiropractic Care

We provide advanced spinal correction utilizing "state of the art" chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic have we been able to provide the level of help and expertise that now exists. These newer correction methods are even safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. As a Doctor of Chiropractic, Dr. Brian McIntyre has years of training and experience in spinal adjustment.

Corrective Exercises

We teach our patients special "blueprint" exercises designed just for them to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction by as much as 30-40%. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health.

Lifestyle Advice

We often find it helpful to "coach" our patients on certain activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most. We recognize that each our patient is a whole person, and help them reach true health and wellness is a collaborate effort between our professionals and our patients.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is among the oldest healing practices in the world. As part of traditional Chinese medicine, it aims to restore and maintain health through the stimulation of specific points on the body.  It is based on the concept that disease results from disruption in the flow of qi and imbalance in the forces of yin and yang.  A variety of techniques to stimulate specific points on the body are used in Acupuncture including the insertion of thin, metal needles through the skin.  It is intended to remove the blockages in the flow of qi to restore and maintain health.  Dr. Brian McIntyre has been trained and certified in Acupuncture and will be glad to answer any questions.

Massage Therapy

There are many therapeutic benefits to massage.  Massage Therapy addresses soft tissue dysfunction, stress-related conditions, and energy imbalances.  As a complement to chiropractic treatment or simply for relaxation, massage therapy is available by appointment at McIntyre Chiropractic & Acupuncture Centre.    

Auriculotherapy

Auricultherapy is a non-invasive form of electrical stimulation to the external ear for the relief of pain and addictive behaviors.  The original basis of auriculotherapy is in ancient Chinese Acupuncture, though current methods utilize painless stimulation without needles.  Dr. Brian McIntyre is always available to answer your questions.
