ChiroMed II celebrates grand re-opening

ChiroMed II, located at 1480 N. Greenmount Road, Suite 300, O’Fallon, had its grand re-opening Thursday, May 18. ChiroMed has been under the direction of owner Chad Weber D.C. since 2015, offering O’Fallon and the surrounding area patient-focused chiropractic, physical therapy, spinal decompression and weight loss programs.

The grand re-opening highlighted the many changes that have taken place for the newly renovated office. In addition to the Dahlia Red Light body contouring system, Dr. Weber added two new cutting-edge services.

Progressive treatment protocols for Peripheral Neuropathy and advanced weight loss programs.

Peripheral Neuropathy is a debilitating and progressive disease that starts with burning and tingling of the feet and/or hands and left untreated can lead to the inability to walk and even loss of the extremities. The protocols have a 97% success rate of reducing and reversing symptoms.

The Dahlia Red Light program uses red light technology to shrink fat cells resulting in inches lost immediately. This combined with the nutritional programs and strategies has a synergistic effect increasing results.

Dr. Weber looks forward to continuing to serve the health and wellness needs of the O’Fallon-Shiloh area.
