Real Patient Testimonials

I suffer from scoliosis with pain in my neck and in my back. These problems affected me to the point that often I could not drive because I could not turn my head around to back up. I, like many people probably, assumed that I could not benefit from chiropractic care because my spine has been fused from T4 – S1 my entire adult life. ...

Welcome to Body Balance Chiropractic, A Top-Rated, Family Friendly Chiropractor in Fenton, MO

With 18 years of experience Dr. Burns and his team have treated a broad spectrum of conditions and have had great results. Also at our office we have found that the combination of chiropractic with massage therapy has helped improve many problems much faster than with chiropractic alone. Also at our office the Doctors are really good at getting the patient involved in their care. We try to take the approach that we are a team and try tackle the problem in that way. We have found that the more active the patient is in their care that they will get the results that they desire.

Another thing that separates our office is that we are more of a lifestyle care practice than a crisis practice. What this means is that once we get patients out of pain we want them to stay that way and be able to live their lives without limits. We will teach them if they are willing ways to keep them out of pain and to even improve their lives no matter their ages. We also have those crisis patients that just want to be treated for their condition and let them go after that. The good thing about our office is that it is totally going to be up to you on which road you choose.

Our Chiropractic Care Philosophy

The chiropractic perspective on health and disease emphasizes two fundamental concepts:

the structure and condition of the body influences how the body functions and its ability to heal itself
the mind-body relationship is instrumental in maintaining health and in the healing processes.

Although chiropractic shares much with other health professions, its emphasis and application of philosophy distinguishes it from modern medicine. Chiropractic philosophy gravitates toward a holistic ("total person") approach to healing which combines elements of the mind, body and spirit and maintains that health depends on obedience to natural laws, and that deviation from such laws can result in illness.
