Meet Our Staff
Hello, I'm Kami! As the Office Manager at Body Balance Chiropractic, I'm often one of the first people you'll meet when you call or walk through our doors. I truly enjoy getting to know our patients and helping make each visit a positive, welcoming experience.
I oversee the daily operations of the office, including scheduling, insurance coordination, billing, and patient support. My goal is to make the administrative side of your care as simple and stress-free as possible, so you can focus on feeling your best.
Outside of the office, I love spending time with my husband, Joe, and making the most of the warmer months. You'll often find us enjoying weekends at the lake, relaxing by the pool, or spending quality time with family and friends. I believe that health is about more than feeling better—it's about enjoying life and making memories with the people you love.
I'm proud to be part of the Body Balance Chiropractic team and look forward to welcoming you into our office!

Andon Stayton
Hey there! My name is Andon, and I’m one of the front office staff. I also handle the IT side of things - things like making this website!
I grew up in Carlinville, Illinois, and graduated from Lincoln Land Community College in Springfield in 2024 with a degree in Cybsersecurity. Before coming to Body Balance in March of 2026, I worked for a small IT company in the St. Louis area for about a year. However, I decided I wanted to do something a bit more relaxed, and found myself here shortly after!
My extended family has a history with chiropractic, and i’ve suffered with stress-induced neck and shoulder pain for the majority of my life. Dr. Burns is, thankfully, able to aleviate this pain in a matter of minutes, and I can guarantee he can do the same for you!

Hi, I'm Luke Burns, and I'm one of the front desk receptionists here at Body Balance Chiropractic. I am the son of Dr. Burns, and I've been around chiropractic care for much of my life and have developed a passion for helping people live healthier lives.
I graduated from William Jewell College with a degree in Business Health Management while also completing a lot of science courses. During my time at William Jewell, I was a member of the baseball team, where I learned the value of hard work, teamwork, and discipline. I enjoy staying active through sports and fitness and believe that movement plays an important role in overall health.
This September, I will begin attending Logan University to pursue my Doctor of Chiropractic degree. I'm excited to continue learning and growing in the chiropractic profession while following in my father's footsteps. I look forward to helping our patients and becoming a chiropractor dedicated to improving the health and well-being of our community.

Hi, I'm Maggie! I've been part of the Body Balance Chiropractic team for the past few years, and I love helping create a welcoming, positive experience for every patient who walks through our doors.
I'm currently pursuing a career in pediatric nursing and am passionate about caring for children and making a difference in their lives. Before returning home to St. Louis, I played collegiate soccer in Kansas City, an experience that taught me the value of teamwork, discipline, and dedication.
