Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care employs spinal adjustments to alleviate pain and improve musculoskeletal function. This non-invasive treatment addresses back pain, neck pain, and headaches by restoring proper spinal alignment. Patients benefit from improved nerve function and natural healing processes without pharmaceuticals or surgery.
Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy uses low-level light to stimulate cellular repair and reduce inflammation. This treatment accelerates healing for soft tissue injuries and chronic pain conditions. Patients experience improved circulation and reduced pain without invasive procedures or medication dependence.
Kinesiotaping
Kinesiotaping provides muscular and joint support while maintaining full range of motion. This technique reduces pain and inflammation while enhancing lymphatic drainage. Patients receive extended therapeutic benefits between appointments through continuous soft tissue support.
Personal Injury
Specialized treatments address automotive and traumatic injuries through chiropractic adjustments and rehabilitation. This care restores mobility and reduces pain from whiplash and soft tissue trauma. Treatment includes documentation services for insurance and legal purposes.

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!

Dr. Maddox and his staff are absolutely amazing! They provide a friendly, community-like atmosphere where no one is a stranger. I felt a great sense of relief when Dr. Maddox identified my neck pain and clearly explained what was causing it. Not only did his targeted treatment plan completely relieve me of the pain, he provided me with specific stretches that will help from here on out. No question went unanswered.
But it's the little things, too. The staff calling me by my name and taking the time to ask questions like, "Would you like a pillow under your knees?" every visit and "Are you still feeling comfortable?" during my time on a machine are not necessarily required, but most definitely appreciated. THIS is quality care!
