Crafting Healthier Homes, One Adjustment at a Time

frequently asked questions

the most question we had so far

At SoMo Chiro, we don't just "crack backs." Elite care means using advanced diagnostic tools like the Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) to find out why you are in pain. By combining adjustments with soft tissue work and custom home exercises, we focus on long-term recovery rather than just temporary relief.

Dr. Johnson is a certified Motion Palpation Institute Physician. This technique involves checking the joints while they are in motion to identify exactly where a restriction is occurring. This allows for a much more precise and gentle adjustment compared to traditional static palpation.

No, you do not need a referral to visit Southern Missouri Chiropractic. We welcome new patients from across the Ozarks who are looking for relief from back pain, headaches, or sports injuries. You can simply call our office or book your appointment online.
