Expert Pain Relief, Chiropractic Care, and Injury Rehabilitation Tailored for You in Saint Louis, MO

  • You don’t need another doctor, and the world doesn’t need another self-proclaimed expert in physical medicine or rehabilitation. It’s overflowing with practitioners who talk at patients, not to them. What you need is a fan. A fan of the human body. A fan of movement, recovery, and resilience. You need someone who’s genuinely curious about how we heal and thrive—someone willing to step into a treatment room, a gym, or even a golf course and ask the questions patients are often too afraid or too overwhelmed to ask themselves.

    Imagine a chiropractor who doesn’t just know the science of biomechanics but embraces the mystery behind it—the things we’re still figuring out. Someone willing to turn over every rock, leave a light footprint, and say, “Why does this work? Why doesn’t it? And how can it work better?” A fan isn’t afraid to admit they don’t have all the answers but knows which questions matter most. That’s what patients need—a practitioner who’s aggressively transparent, who admits their curiosity is as vast as their knowledge.

    Here’s what I’m wary of: dogma. It’s everywhere in healthcare. As soon as a new technique or method gets written down, it turns into a playbook. And before long, it’s gospel, treated as though there’s only one right way to help a patient. I’ve seen it in textbooks, seminars, and treatment rooms—a rigid checklist that ignores the individual in favor of the formula. That’s not why I became a chiropractor.

    For years, I thought I’d cracked my own little Rosetta stone—a perfect system for helping people move better, feel better, and live better. But over time, I realized something humbling: there’s no single answer. Patients aren’t puzzles to be solved; they’re stories to be understood. And while I could have spent the rest of my career building a wall between what I know and what I don’t, I chose to tear it down. That’s when I stopped pretending to be an expert and started embracing the role of a student—a fan with access.

    Patients don’t need earnestness for the sake of it. They need authenticity. They need someone willing to say, “I don’t know, but I’ll find out with you.” Someone willing to question the status quo and challenge themselves to grow as much as their patients. That’s what I bring to chiropractic and physical medicine: not just the hands-on expertise, but a fan’s curiosity and humility.

    That’s how you build trust. That’s how you satisfy curiosity. And that’s how you truly help people heal.

    I started working with Josh in Los Angeles a number of years ago because I was having many issues that hampered my ability to play golf well. After working with Josh for about 6 months he was able to stabilize, strengthen, and dramatically increase the mobility of my shoulders. During this time, Josh also helped me gain a ton of core strength as well as increase my thoracic mobility. Josh is a highly knowledgeable, professional, and committed chiropractor and working with him was a tremendous experience.

  • Sonja Koppenhaver

    I am honored to write this letter of recommendation to support Dr. Josh Wideman. I have known him for greater than 12 years and have witnessed his exceptional growth both personally and as a medical professional. He is compassionate, intelligent and quickly put into practice everything he learned about Chiropractic, Sports, and Functional medicines, and preventative wellness care. We met while I was managing the front office at L.A. Sports and Spine in southern California and worked together for many years. 

    During his time as a rehabilitation therapy intern and then doctor, Josh used his problem-solving skills and robust practical knowledge to ask important questions when assessing patients while making them feel comfortable. He was always smiling, upbeat and used a positive approach when working with discouraged patients. There were many occasions when a patient expressed their appreciation for his ability to comfort when in pain, and alleviate the emotional stress often associated with a healing journey. He is detail oriented and patient with all age groups, and his listening skills are reflected in the detailed feed back he provides with correctives. He was always hands on in the rehab gym and the first to take a proactive approach in refining physical skills which translated synergistically to other supportive modalities. 

    I highly recommend Josh Wideman as a Doctor of Chiropractic and wish him the very best in his new practice. He is the type of professional whom anyone would prefer to help with acute pain, giving sage practical advice to continue with activities of daily living, or for general holistic maintenance. I am delighted to see his practice growing and look forward to the satisfied smiles of clients who will experience care not only while in his office but out living their best life. 

  • Matt N.

    I highly recommend Josh. Approximately one year ago, I tore the rotator cuff in my left shoulder which impacted my ability to workout as well as my daily life activities like a full night sleep, putitng on shirts and jackets, etc. I opted against surgery and choose instead to work with Josh. The results are better than I had hoped. My quality of life is much improved as has my workout performance. I view working with Josh as a key component of my overall health/wellness regimen and will continue to work with him as I age.

  • Ron King

    I enjoyed working with Josh ... He provided key insight and helped me develop a mindset of progress. Highly recommend.

  • Kathy Howard

    Josh carefully listens about what can be improved, and then tailors a set of exercises which address the problem. Then, I'm in control of how diligently I work to affect the solutions he provides -- it's not a fix for a 12 hr period and then you have to return to that chiropractor. Instead, it's a thoughtful set of exercises which allow the patient to progress as fast as they wish to in solving their own problems.

  • Claudia Riley

    Josh really listens to you and has the ability to go directly to the root cause, then gives detailed exercises to strengthen and rehabilitate those areas. I highly recommend his techniques to get you on the path to wellness!

  • Lauren Nolan

    Josh has been a big help in not only identifying some of the root causes of my pain but also integral in improving my pain! He can give you the tools to help improve your health and wellness.

  • Cami Stastny

    Dr Wideman is second to none with movement! He has such an awareness of the body and finding the root deficiency to help that gets the job done. Highly recommend!!

    He is very creative with his rehab and makes practical programming.

  • John Pavlovits

    Josh is a great chiropractor. He is focused and determined to help… videotaping, from your own phone, the exercises is very helpful

  • Nancy P.

    Being active has been an important part of my life since I was a kid. As I've aged, undiagnosed scoliosis has caused a variety of annoying--although not debilitating--issues. However, these became exacerbated earlier this year and the ordinary chiropractic care I had previously sought was not helping. Matt Trimarke at Saint Louis CrossFit, where I train weekly, suggested I talk with Josh Wideman. This was a revelation! Instead of adjustments--temporary relief at best--Josh spent time talking with me, assessing my structural imbalances, testing a variety of exercises to find what would help and what I could easily continue at home. I had some immediate relief. Several months later, I had a relapse and returned to what had helped--time spent with Josh and reevaluation of what would get me back to feeling great. My structural issues aren't 'curable' but working with Josh on exercises specifically tailored to me, not stuff from the Book of PT, is making a huge difference. I can enjoy my weekly workouts, take the long bike rides I enjoy and walk without the nagging discomfort I was coping with. As an aging athlete who has visited chiropractors and PTs many times, I finally found something that is designed for exactly what works for my body and my issues. Not only does this work help, but I feel valued as an individual and Josh's follow-ups and check-ins are deeply appreciated. I usually hate to admit this, but I am an octogenarian, and still able to be active and enjoy all the things that are not only good for my body but vital to my mental well-being. My recommendation is a small way to thank Josh and encourage others to seek this special, expert, and excellent care.

  • Christine N.

    I (76 year old woman) was facing a second very invasive back surgery (anterior/posterior/lateral which would involve L,2,3,4,5 and S1). I met with Josh 2 times a week for 4 weeks and was able to cancel the surgery.
    Through my continued work with Josh I have gained not only confidence but mobility and strength.
    Josh does not employ chiropractic adjustment but strength building through various exercises, many of which you can follow up at home between visits.
    I highly recommend Josh.

  • Steve L.

    Josh is amazing and I couldn't recommend him enough. I had a shoulder injury from doing judo that not only kept hurting but also limited my range of movement quite a bit. Josh, first of all, had a wonderful aptitude for making you understand how the body works. Thanks to his guidance, my shoulder got a lot better, but I also learned how to take far better care of my body; so I am immensely grateful for all he has done for me.

  • Wilhelmina S.

    Over the last five years, Josh, an outstanding rehabilitation chiropractor, has been instrumental in helping me recover from and prevent injuries related to horseback riding. His treatment has significantly improved my mobility and healed old injuries in my hip and back. Josh’s expertise in the biomechanics of horse and rider enabled a successful transition from dressage back to jumping, allowing me to compete at higher levels. Each session is marked by professionalism and genuine care for my wellbeing. I’m deeply thankful for his role in enhancing my performance. He’s been instrumental in my competitive success.

  • Suzanne K.

    I found Josh as I was preparing for a 100-mile trail race. I was having pain in my foot and hip. He helped to create a program to improve my mobility to manage and improve my pain as I continued to train for the race. One of the best things about working with Josh is that if I did’t feel something where I “should,” I never felt in trouble or less than. He is great about adjusting exercises as needed and listening to what’s going on. He takes a total body approach and looks to address the root cause of the issue. I would highly recommend working with Josh.

  • Laura H.

    Dr Wideman is a very knowledgeable doctor providing unique 1 on 1 care, who develops treatment plan based on  the individual needs vs. treating the stock diagnosis. I have had seven knee surgeries on right leg over the course of 33 years. I have lots of experience with Physical Therapy/Therapist most focus on the type of surgery and the “standard" protocol for recovery not paying attention to individual needs of the patient or their history. Dr Wideman’s understanding of how the body moves is amazing. Progress from his treatment plans are measurable.  He is willing to answer any questions during your appointment or after your appointment.

    Thank you for your care and commitment.
