Dr. Carolyn S. Griffin,

Chiropractor

​

Growing up in a holistic home, Dr. Carolyn Griffin witnessed firsthand how natural methods and Chiropractic were used to keep her entire family well.  She saw how it was used to treat childhood illnesses and earaches, as well as take care of the pains and aches she and her two very active brothers had growing up.  

Dr. Griffin studied Sociology at the University of Missouri-Kansas City and worked over 6 years in Social Services. She learned firsthand the stressors as a Social Worker and dealt with constant headaches, migraines, and daily stomachaches. After taking numerous medications for headaches and ulcers with no relief or cure for either, she sought Chiropractic treatment as she knew there had to be a better way. Because of her healing through Chiropractic, she was able to get off all medications. When she discovered the importance of chiropractic care, Dr. Griffin went on to pursue her dream of becoming a Doctor at Logan College of Chiropractic in St. Louis, MO. There she received her Bachelor’s degree in Human Biology and her Doctor of Chiropractic. She completed postgraduate coursework in Acupuncture and Chinese medicine and shadowed Dr. Ginger Jiang, a Doctor of Chinese Medicine, to understand more about Acupuncture. 

​

Dr. Griffin met her husband, Rick, in Kansas City, MO and they moved to his hometown of St. Charles, MO in 2007. She is the mom to two beautiful boys, Connor and Kellan, who have been adjusted since birth. Because of the difference Chiropractic made for her during her pregnancies and after, Dr. Griffin also has a special interest in caring for you during pregnancy and postpartum. She enjoys being able to keep the whole family healthy by treating infants, children, and adults of all ages!

​

Dr. Carolyn Griffin uses a “whole person approach,” looking for underlying causes of your symptoms and recommends interventions or lifestyle adjustments that would optimize the condition for your normal function. Using this unique approach, Dr. Griffin can help you accelerate and or maintain your journey to good health. Dr. Griffin is dedicated and motivated to helping patients achieve optimal health and wellbeing through Chiropractic adjustments and therapies to complement your body healing from the inside out.  Dr. Griffin's philosophy is that which created the body heals it. She became a Chiropractor for that reason and believes that the body has the innate ability to heal itself. She utilizes a number of low force and gentle Chiropractic techniques including Logan Basic Technique, Activator, Myofascial release, Thompson Technique, Crainiosacral,  and Sacral Occipital Technique.  

​

Dr. Griffin has also seen the dramatic impact and healing benefits of incorporating other natural modalities and will customize the use of them based on patient needs. These modalities include such things as Reiki, prayer, essential oils, crystals, whole food based supplements, and acupuncture. All of these components are offered in a manner that stimulates the body's relaxation response which can help counterbalance the effects of daily stressors, further compounding the healing potential of the treatments.

​

Dr. Griffin knows firsthand that Chiropractic can literally change your life, and enable you to live pain-free, giving you more energy, vitality and time to live a life you love. Chiropractic care will help eliminate nerve interference (subluxation), reduce pain, inflammation, fatigue and restore nerve flow to all your organs, giving you the energy, drive and peace of mind to go out and live life the way it was meant to be lived.
