Cardinal Chiropractic of St. Peters

"I highly recommend Dr Blalock. He makes sure you are comfortable & thoroughly explains your condition & treatments. You leave there knowing he is committed to helping you feel better & live your best life."

"I met Dr. Rick at Round Bobbin in 2012. By the time I met him, I had been unemployed for about a year; I had to quit my job due to wrist pain so severe that on bad days holding a fork was out of the question. I had already gone through a stint of physical therapy and went to an orthopedic doctor and a neurologist. Nothing helped and no one could figure out what was wrong with my wrist. All I knew was that it was not carpal tunnel, despite what the neurologist said. So when I met Dr. Rick, I had pretty much given up hope that I would have a decently functioning wrist. The fact that I write and sew a lot was a good reason to feel depressed. Still, I put off the decision of going to Dr. Rick for a few months, a little skeptical about chiropractic. At the beginning of the year, I finally called him. Best decision I've made in the past several years. My wrist is pretty much back to normal, and only in extreme cases does it ache a little, but the pain quickly goes away. Far far improvement from being in pain for days on end with no reprieve in sight. And this wasn't something that happened in the past few weeks; I've been feeling great like this since early March. If I had not called Dr. Rick, I would not have been able to take the job I have now. I surely wouldn't be sewing and writing as much as I wanted. So really, I owe all that to Dr. Rick. One of the (many) things that I like about this clinic is that you don't just get adjusted and go home. They give you home exercises to do, and that heavily contributes to the continued effectiveness of the treatment. So you truly feel that you are contributing to your own wellness. I went from a state of helplessness to participating in my own journey of getting out of a state of constant pain. But it doesn't even stop there. Dr. Rick is very personable and kind, and if you have a question about another problem, such as shoulder pain I had a few months back, he would try to help you with that as well (the shoulder pain is also gone, by the way!). Some of the best advice, health wise, I've gotten from him. If you're skeptical about chiropractic, come to this clinic. They will make a believer out of you. EDIT: It's 2022, and I'm still going to see Dr. Rick! The reason why I started getting adjustments, my wrist, is completely back to normal a long time ago. I rarely have to worry about it anymore, even when I use my wrist for long periods of time with writing and sewing. I'm in my mid-thirties now, and of course as we leave our 20s, we get little aches and pains. Getting adjustments regularly helps to keep those aches an occasional annoyance rather than something that negatively impacts my life. Whether it's my lower back, knees, shoulders, or neck, I'm able to come in, get adjusted, and feel better. Dr. Rick is the same wonderful person as he was when I first met him. I will have been going to him for 10 YEARS in January, and honestly going to a chiropractor is one of the best decisions I've made in the past ten years."

"We haven't had a need to see a chiropractor before, but we tried Cardinal Chiropractic after my husband hurt his back. Kylie at the front desk went above and beyond and was incredibly helpful and patient in answering our questions, particularly about insurance. We also appreciated the doctor's desire to get to the root of the problem quickly and not drag out treatment unnecessarily. We came away feeling well taken care of."

"I have dealt with chronic pain for over 12 years and I've seen many chiropractors in that time frame. Trust and integrity are 2 key traits I look for in any service provider. I have found that here at Cardinal Physical Medicine! When searching for a new practitioner, I made sure I did my research this time. Dr. Blalock's techniques and certifications were exemplary and his website is easy to navigate. Staff is welcoming and family friendly. The facility is clean and up to date. I have high expectations and Cardinal Physical Medicine has exceeded those with a treatment plan that's working for short and long term recovery. I drive 25 minutes for my appointments, it is well worth it!"

"If I could give more stars, I would! This place is amazing. The office is so open, clean, and inviting. Dr Blalock is one of the NICEST people you will ever meet. I walked in a few weeks ago after visiting his wife's dental practice next door, and I am so glad I did. I've been going to a chiropractor since I was a child and have always had back issues, but now after almost 25 years I am getting better and stronger. Dr Blalock really takes the time to get to know you, make sure you are comfortable with everything, and comes up with a game plan to get you better. I would recommend him to every single person I know!"
