Wilmington Clinic

Wilmington Clinic Chiropractic care using specialized treatment and rehabilitation for a variety of conditions and information on improving your diet and overall health.

Our office is located at 4918 Weber Rd, 63123 ("the old Kendrick's market") in South County just 1 mile West of Bayless and I-55, or 1 block East of Gravois and Weber Rd at the Weber/Dana intersection. See the site map for exact driving directions. Dr. Fiscella has been in private practice since 1977, when he first was mentored by Dr. Ken Yochum. The Wilmington Clinic has been serving patients since 1953. We utilize several alternative approaches of chiropractic -- Receptor-Tonus technique as originated by Dr. Raymond Nimmo D.C., Graston Technique, Myofascial release technique, and acupressure to focus on the soft tissues of the body (muscles, ligaments and tendons) to release muscle tension and improve body function ["MUSCLES MOVE BONES, BONES DO NOT MOVE MUSCLES"] as well as the traditional adjustment. In addition, we have a complete diagnostic and rehabilitative facility to include rehab exercise, hot/cold packs, ultrasound, cold laser, muscle stimulation, traction, spinal decompression, acupressure/acupuncture, blood+live-cell analysis, and x-ray. Speciality procedures are available for acute/chronic "sinus sufferers" as well as for those patients who suffer with "frequent colds, post-nasal drip ,allergies, etc" with the use of Endo-Nasal Technique (Sinoplasty and Pharyngeal Sweeps) and specific dietary enhancements.

Here’s one more reason to choose chiropractic first!

An extensive U.S. study of nearly 50,000 adults found that people who received spinal manipulative therapy for new low back pain were:

✅ 80% less likely to develop opioid use disorder
✅ 77% less likely to become long-term opioid users
✅ Less likely to be prescribed opioids in the first place

The takeaway? Chiropractic care is an evidence-based, drug-free approach that helps you feel better without the risks of long-term medication. ✨

Why is it important to rehab an ankle after a sprain? 🤔

Many people follow the rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) protocol after an ankle sprain until the pain subsides. Once the pain is gone, they resume all their everyday activities.

The issue is that the function of the ankle might not be the same as before.

A recent review found that those with chronic ankle instability have different walking mechanics, which can increase the risk of suffering another ankle sprain!

This is why restoring ankle mobility and strength following an ankle sprain is important! 🙌

When you think about low back pain treatment, most people think about core strengthening exercises.

But did you know that cardio exercise can also benefit those suffering from low back pain? 🏃

A recent study found that a 12-week run-walk exercise program was an effective treatment option in those with chronic low back pain.

So, while strengthening the core muscles is an effective approach, it's not the only approach that works! 🙌

A microdiscectomy is a common surgery for relieving low back pain caused by a disc herniation. While it can be effective, about 30% of individuals may continue to experience pain afterward.

A recent study identified factors like obesity and degeneration as increasing the risk of post-surgical pain.

Whether you're dealing with pain from a disc herniation or still struggling after surgery, our clinic is here to help you find relief. Make an appointment today! 🗓️

As we age, we are at an increased risk of falling due to poor balance. Did you know that strengthening your back can help with balance?

A recent research study suggests that strengthening the multifidus muscle, a deep stabilizer muscle in the spine, can improve balance and reduce the fear of falling.

If the pain is in your back, why work on the glutes and hips?

According to a recent study, gluteal training was beneficial in reducing pain and improving function for those with low back pain.

This is because the muscles in the hips and glutes are connected to the lower back, so it is essential to treat both areas.

Tendon pain is commonly thought to be an overload injury. But did you know vitamin D deficiency is also linked to tendon pain? ☀️

Of course, with tendon pain, it is important to strengthen the tendon and restore normal joint biomechanics, but also to look for any other factors that might be contributing to the injury! 💪
