Important Office Updates: New Office Hours & Missouri Medicaid Changes

Dear Patients,

We have two important updates we'd like to share with our Well-House Chiropractic family.

New Office Hours (Effective Immediately)

To better serve patients who need evening appointments, we have updated our Wednesday and Friday hours.

**Our new office hours are:**

Monday 8:00 AM – 5:30 PM
Tuesday 8:00 AM – 5:30 PM
Wednesday 1:00 PM – 7:00 PM** *(New extended evening hours!)*
Thursday 8:00 AM – 5:30 PM
Friday 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM

We're excited to offer later Wednesday appointments to make it easier for patients to receive the care they need without missing work or school.

Missouri Medicaid No Longer Covers Chiropractic Care

As of July 1, 2026, the State of Missouri has eliminated Medicaid coverage for chiropractic services. This decision affects many families in our community who depend on conservative, non-drug care to stay healthy and active.

This change is especially difficult for our clinic because we care for approximately 200 Missouri Medicaid patients, including many children and infants. We know firsthand how important access to chiropractic care can be for managing pain, improving function, and supporting overall health.

Although Medicaid will no longer reimburse for chiropractic visits, The Well-House Chiropractic remains committed to serving our community. We are actively monitoring developments and supporting ongoing efforts to restore coverage.

If you are affected by this change, please don't hesitate to speak with our staff. We will gladly discuss your options and do everything we can to help you continue receiving the care you need.

Thank you for trusting us with your health. It is our privilege to care for you and your family.

Sharing again today, and this time I’m asking everyone who cares about protecting access to services like chiropractic care, physical therapy, and acupuncture to please take action.
These are not just “pain services.” These are valuable, non-opioid options that help people stay active, improve quality of life, and avoid more invasive and costly interventions.
We have contacted our representatives, and we have been told that the legislative process is complete, the budget has passed and now it is sitting with Governor Kehoe for his decision. However, he still has the ability to veto this cut. It is not over yet. Please continue to share. Please call Governor Kehoe’s office. Please let your voice be heard.
Tell him that Missouri Medicaid patients deserve access to safe, effective, conservative care options. Every call matters. Every message matters.

Many individuals and families rely on chiropractic services as a safe, conservative, and effective part of their healthcare. Losing this benefit would directly impact pain management, mobility, and quality of life for vulnerable patients in our community.

We’ve started a petition to help bring attention to this issue and encourage decision-makers to reconsider.

If chiropractic care has ever helped you, a loved one, or someone you know—please take a moment to sign and share. It only takes a minute, but it could make a real difference.

Every signature helps. Every share spreads awareness.

Curious about Cold Laser Therapy? Give us a call and find out if it's good fit for you. 1-740-823-9355

✨ What is Cold Laser Therapy? ✨

Cold laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that uses light energy to help your body heal naturally. It’s called “cold” because it doesn’t generate heat or cut tissue like surgical lasers.

💡 How Does It Work?
This therapy uses specific wavelengths of light that pe*****te the skin and reach injured tissues, helping your cells:
• Produce more energy (ATP)
• Repair damaged tissue faster
• Reduce inflammation
• Improve blood flow

Think of it as recharging your cells so they can heal more efficiently 🔋

🌿 Benefits
Many patients experience:
✔️ Reduced pain
✔️ Decreased inflammation and swelling
✔️ Faster healing
✔️ Improved joint mobility
✔️ Relief from muscle tension and stiffness

Best of all—it’s painless and requires no downtime!

🩺 What Can It Help With?
Cold laser therapy is commonly used for:
• Muscle & joint pain (back, neck, shoulder, knee, arthritis)
• Injuries (sprains, strains, tendonitis, sports injuries)
• Nerve conditions (sciatica, carpal tunnel, neuropathy)
• Inflammation & post-surgical recovery

✨ What Does It Feel Like?
Most people feel little to nothing during treatment, though some notice a mild, soothing sensation. Sessions are quick—usually 5–15 minutes.

📅 How Many Sessions?
• Acute issues: a few sessions
• Chronic conditions: multiple treatments over several weeks
Your provider will customize a plan for you.

✅ Is It Safe?
Yes! Cold laser therapy is:
• FDA-cleared for many uses
• Non-invasive
• Drug-free
• Safe

⚠️ Who Should Avoid It?
It may not be recommended if you:
• Are pregnant (over certain areas)
• Have active cancer in the treatment area
• Have light sensitivity disorders


Always share your medical history with your provider.

🔑 Key Takeaway
Cold laser therapy is a safe, effective way to reduce pain and support natural healing without medications or surgery.
