Chiropractic care isn’t just about back adjustments—it’s about realigning your body so it can heal, function, and thrive. At Premier Health Care in St. Louis, Dr. Branham provides personalized chiropractic care designed to reset your spine, nervous system, and energy pathways. Whether you’re recovering from pain, managing stress, or looking to feel your best, Dr. Branham is here to support your journey toward better health.
Every joint, nerve, and muscle in your body is connected through the spine and central nervous system. When misalignment or restriction occurs, it creates ripple effects—leading to pain, tightness, reduced mobility, and even poor immune function. Chiropractic care aims to correct these issues at the source by restoring structural balance and improving communication between your brain and body.
Dr. Branham’s chiropractic care focuses on identifying the root of your symptoms, not just temporarily masking them. With each session, he works to release tension, stimulate healing, and restore your body’s natural alignment.
Functional medicine and chiropractic care are a powerful combination. While functional medicine explores the biochemical and lifestyle root causes of disease, chiropractic addresses structural and neurological imbalances that may be contributing to your symptoms. Together, they form a complete picture—helping your body return to balance, both inside and out.
In fact, this pairing is a key reason why Dr. Branham is a highly requested doctor in St. Louis.
Whether you’re addressing hormone imbalances, autoimmune issues, chronic fatigue, or stress, chiropractic care can improve circulation, lymphatic flow, and nervous system signaling—making your functional medicine treatments more effective and longer lasting.

You don’t have to live with chronic discomfort, limited movement, or frustrating symptoms that hold you back. Chiropractic care offers a natural, non-invasive path to relief by addressing the root causes of physical dysfunction. Through gentle, targeted adjustments, Dr. Branham helps patients regain balance, mobility, and wellness across many different systems of the body. Here’s how chiropractic care can support healing and improve your quality of life:
When the spine is out of alignment, it can compress or irritate surrounding nerves, leading to pain, numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness. Chiropractic adjustments help relieve this pressure, reduce inflammation, and restore healthy nerve flow. Conditions like sciatica, herniated discs, and pinched nerves often improve significantly with regular chiropractic care.
Over time, poor posture, repetitive movements, and stress can lead to muscular imbalances and restricted joint motion. Chiropractic care releases muscle tension and helps retrain your body’s movement patterns. This not only improves flexibility and joint range of motion but also reduces the likelihood of future strain or injury.
Many headaches originate in the neck due to tight muscles, joint dysfunction, or spinal misalignment. Chiropractic adjustments address these root issues by restoring cervical alignment and improving blood flow to the brain. For many patients, this results in fewer headaches, reduced intensity, and improved quality of life—without relying on pain medications.
The nervous system plays a central role in regulating immune function. When spinal misalignments interfere with nerve signaling, the immune system can become less efficient. Chiropractic care improves nervous system function, supporting the body’s natural defenses and promoting a stronger, more resilient immune response.
Chronic stress keeps your body in a heightened “fight or flight” state, which can disrupt sleep, digestion, and healing. Chiropractic adjustments activate the parasympathetic nervous system—your body’s “rest and repair” mode—helping lower cortisol levels, ease tension, and improve your ability to fall and stay asleep. Many patients report sleeping better and feeling more emotionally balanced after just a few visits.
Upper cervical misalignments can impact drainage from the sinuses, contributing to congestion, pressure, and recurring sinus infections. Gentle chiropractic adjustments to the neck and facial bones can promote sinus drainage, reduce inflammation, and improve breathing—especially during allergy season or when recovering from a cold.
While a good back crack might feel good to most people, that’s not entirely what chiropractic is about. Before starting care, it’s important to understand how adjustments work to heal the body.
Our approach to chiropractic care in St. Louis is based on the principle that proper alignment of the spine and musculoskeletal system enables the body to heal itself without surgery or medication. The purpose of manipulation is to restore joint mobility by manually applying a controlled force into joints that have become hypomobile or restricted in their movement as a result of a tissue injury. Tissue injury can be caused by a single traumatic event, such as improper lifting of a heavy object, or through repetitive stresses, such as sitting in an awkward position with poor spinal posture for an extended period of time.
In either case, injured tissues undergo physical and chemical changes that can cause inflammation, pain, and diminished function for the sufferer. Manipulation, or adjustment of the affected joint and tissues, restores mobility, thereby alleviating pain and muscle tightness, and allowing tissues to heal.
It’s not just about feeling better—it’s about restoring your body’s ability to function at its highest level. That’s why chiropractic is a key part of any root-cause wellness plan.
