Call Directions Website

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.

Consistency matters for your trunk and postural muscles! 💪

A 12-week study showed that doing supervised trunk/postural muscle exercises 4x per week improved stability and reduced disability more than 2x per week.

That’s why we ask if you’re keeping up with your trunk and postural muscle strengthening! 😉

Less active = more pain 😣

A recent study found that less active people had more disability, more sites of pain, and felt “heavier” overall.

The good news? 🙌

✅ Gentle, consistent movement helps joints feel better
✅ Stronger muscles + better sleep = big impact
✅ Progress matters more than perfection

Shoulder pain isn’t always just about your shoulder!

A study found that people with shoulder pain often have:

🔹 Less neck mobility, leading to greater disability
🔹 Worse outcomes when pain lasts longer, especially in older patients

👉 Takeaway: Treating shoulder pain works best when we look at your neck too. Addressing both can lead to better results, which is what we do!

Surprise! Your hips matter for your back. 🔑

Research shows that reduced hip mobility is linked to greater limitations for people with chronic low back pain.

👉 Mobility work for your hips can be just as important as mobility for your spine.

Better sleep starts with the right pillow! 💤🛏️

The wrong pillow can strain your neck and spine, leading to stiffness, headaches, and restless nights. A good pillow should support your head and neck in a neutral position—whether you sleep on your back, side, or stomach. ✅

Want to stay healthy and active as you age? Your diet plays a significant role. 🥦🍎

A 30-year study found that people who eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, healthy fats, and low-fat dairy are more likely to age strong, sharp, and disease-free.

Eating less processed meat, sugary drinks, and unhealthy fats also helps.

The takeaway: Choosing a balanced, mostly plant‑based diet with some healthy animal‑based foods can help you stay active and independent well into your 70s and beyond. 🙌

Have you had spine surgery and wonder if chiropractic care is safe? 🤔

A recent study looked at over 400 adults who had spinal surgery and later received spinal manipulation. The good news—no serious complications were reported after treatment.

What does this mean? For those with a history of spine surgery, spinal manipulative therapy may be a safe option when performed by trained professionals.

If you’re still dealing with pain or stiffness after surgery, you’re not alone—and effective treatment options remain.

Are you unsure what’s best for your spine? Let’s talk and find out if spinal manipulation or another mode of chiropractic care is appropriate for you. 🙌

When it comes to exercise and knee arthritis, think like Goldilocks. 💡

Too little movement? Your joints may stiffen up and get weaker.
Too much? You might be pushing them toward injury.
But just the right amount? That’s where the magic happens.

A recent study found that moderate daily activity helps protect against the progression of knee osteoarthritis. Over time, people who stayed in that “just right” zone had better joint health.

If your knees are sore or stiff, we can help you find the sweet spot where you can move enough to stay strong without risking your joints. 🙌

Let’s create an exercise plan that’s just right for you. Book a visit today. 🗓️
