Back pain / low backaches
Back pain is the number one reason a patient visits a chiropractor. When left untreated, your back discomfort can not only worsen, but it can spread when you overuse other muscles to compensate for your back’s work. When the joints become restricted we become stiff, lose range of motion, and ultimately have back pain.
Neck pain / stiffness
It’s no surprise neck pain and stiffness are becoming a primary reason to see a chiropractor. With technology coming at us from every angle, devices are playing an important role in the way we work and communicate. This is great for staying connected but often leads to neck issues. These issues should be treated since we doubt you’ll stop using your devices, we can teach you posture and exercise techniques to help with future discomfort.
Headaches
A bad headache can be debilitating, keeping you from your routine and everyday lifestyle. If you suffer from recurring headaches, it could be caused by tight muscles or joint stiffness in your upper neck. This type of headache will best be treated by chiropractic adjustments and muscle work of the upper neck.
Sciatica
Anyone who suffers from sciatica knows the difficulty it brings with it. Your sciatic nerve starts in your lower back and runs down each leg. When it’s not functioning as it should, patients can suffer from severe low back pain, hip pain, and buttock and leg pain. A chiropractic plan will help ease the pain and get you up and running again.
Spinal stenosis
Spinal stenosis is caused when the spaces in your spine narrow, putting pressure on spinal nerves. Usually, pain is felt in the neck or lower back. Chiropractic care is a drug-free way to safely alleviate your pain and prevent further spinal problems.
Sports injuries
Donahue Chiropractic sees an array of athletic patients. We provide treatment plans before, during, and after an event. Our non-invasive plans keep our athletes up and running allowing for a high-functioning body.
Ankle problems
There are a variety of reasons your ankle can suffer from pain. Some are more serious, while others are a relatively quick fix. Because your ankles support your body and allow for proper mobility, finding out the cause is our number one priority for our patients with ankle issues.
Plantar fasciitis / flat feet
Plantar fasciitis is due to inflammation of the plantar fascia found running through the bottom of your foot. Oftentimes this will lead to flat foot, which happens when the arch of your foot is compromised, and the entire sole of the foot touches the ground. This condition cannot be cured, but chiropractic care can significantly decrease the pain and discomfort derived from it.
Herniated disc / bulging disc
When your spinal discs are impaired, big problems can occur such as loss of mobility, pain, weakness, and numbness. A chiropractor can safely and noninvasively help ease the pain while looking at the entire spine to determine what caused the disc issue and will be able to put a plan into place, so the problem gets fixed and stays fixed.
Golf injury
We see many patients who suffer from injuries due to excessive and repetitive use of their body parts. Golfers are no exception. In fact, many golfers make the smart decision to use chiropractic care proactively, rather than waiting for an injury to occur.
Running / triathlon injuries
Runners and those training for triathlons can reap great rewards when working with a chiropractor. Not only when it comes to pain management, but also in keeping the active body functioning in a healthy way, staying on top of body stress and joint strength.
Shin splints
Athletes that suffer from shin splints appreciate the pain that they produce. The goal is not only to treat the pain and condition but to aid in their prevention entirely. Adjusting the calf, ankle, and foot will offer a remedy to this painful issue.
Car accidents/whiplash
We see our fair share of patients suffering from pain caused by a car accident. We provide the necessary care and plan to get them pain-free as quickly as possible. We will walk you through the process and take some of the inconvenience off your hands.
Recovery/rehabilitation after surgery
Oftentimes after surgery patients will experience loss of mobility and need to learn how to use muscles effectively again, we offer rehabilitation plans both in-office and in-home to aid in speedy recovery time and a fully and properly functioning body.
Text neck
Texting strains the muscles in your neck. When you look down in that manner, you’re putting about 60 pounds of pressure on your neck, so text neck is a very real condition. You can easily pull vertebrae out of alignment if you’re an avid texter, but a chiropractor will give your neck some much-needed love and help it get back to its natural state.
Overworked muscles
Chiropractic care is a healthy way to relieve soreness due to overworked muscles. Proper spine alignment plays an impactful role in maintaining an optimal running body, so proactive chiropractic care may do away with sore muscles altogether.
Orthopedic issues
Chiropractic care can assist in the treatment and management of joint and tendon pain and its cause, without having to see an orthopedic surgeon. Many patients find this safe and natural road to recovery an easier and more beneficial process.
Carpal tunnel syndrome
The overuse of our hands can be taken for granted and those who have carpal tunnel syndrome know this better than anyone. Simple chiropractic treatments such as wrist manipulation or spine and elbow manipulation may be all you need to secure comfort and alleviate the pain caused by your carpal tunnel syndrome.
Knee pain / IT Band Syndrome
Knee discomfort appears in athletes and non-athletes alike. It’s generally an overuse issue and can be due to improper movement or misalignment. Dr. Donahue can provide the necessary chiropractic care to start the healing process and manage your knee pain.
Leg pain
Our plan for leg pain treatment will depend on its cause. We will incorporate therapeutic exercises, stretching, adjusting, and any other form of treatment necessary to facilitate an end to your discomfort.
Shoulder pain
Those who encounter shoulder pain usually show signs of reduced mobility and flexibility, range of motion, and overall function. Chiropractic care offers a variety of natural techniques for proper shoulder healing and pain reduction.
Elbow pain
Getting care through spinal manipulation can alleviate radiating pain that is getting to the arm. Helping to get the muscles functioning and getting their strength on track will benefit pain found in the elbows and throughout the arms.

He is my favorite chiropractor that I have seen!” – Jennifer Patterson – Director of Human Resources, Booksource, 1230 Macklind Ave. St. Louis, MO 63110
“Dr. Donahue is Wonderful! I have never seen a chiropractor before, so I was nervous initially, but he had a gentle touch and listed closely to me about the areas of interest I wanted him to look at. He does a great job of addressing those areas that in my warehouse job can get tweaked, and other tender spots.” – Felecia Staples – Warehouse Employee, Booksource, 1230 Macklind Ave. St. Louis, MO 63110
