Dr. Pinkston might be the best doctor Ive EVER had! I live in Chicago and make weekly trips to St. Louis to visit him 3-4x a week for my adjustments! After 12 weeks, I have full range of my neck and experience barely any pain after being diagnosed with a pinched nerve. The way I came across Dr. Pinkston was nothing short of FATE! I’ve had severe back pain for about 4 years, but my mother suffers from arthritis of the lower back since she was 16 and always said back arthritis was hereditary in our family. So, I learned to live with the pain assuming I was plagued for life. However, in September the pain worsened to the point I could barely sleep for two hours total a night! Walking, sleeping, sitting, lying down, working out; essentially existing became painful as hell! I was in STL and visited the Taste of STL in Chesterfield while in excruciating pain and Dr. Pinkston’s table was the first table I encountered. This was the FATEFUL moment. He did a quick scan, diagnosed me with chronic back/neck pain right there on the spot and told me to make an appointment as soon as possible. He was shocked I hadn’t even visited a doctor for my pain since my scans were off the chart! That was all I needed to convince me I need a Chiropractor! After X-rays and weekly adjustments for 3 months, I’m sleeping like a cat again, simply existing isn’t physically painful anymore, and I am more alert, less stressed, and energetic. My Chicago friends tell me to get a chiropractor in Chicago, but sometimes you just know when you have a good thing! For a doctor, I couldn’t ask for much more! Dr. Pinkston listened to all my concerns and questions and has helpful answers and remedies for everything. On top of all of this he is EXTREMELY nice and personable and so is Adriana, the office assistant! I highly recommend him! You won’t be disappointed!

My back was in a terrible state because of the pregnancy when I first approached Dr Pinkston. I was not able to walk or even sit and I had almost tried everything from physical therapy to massages to hot and cold compresses. I was almost sure that I will have to live with the pain until I deliver but Dr Pinkston analysed everYthing during the first visit and assured me that I can get better with continuous care and adjustments I did not believe him at first because I have had a bad experience with all the chiropractors that I had visited in the past but just after few visits I started seeing the difference I am so thankful to him for all the help as I no longer have those excruciating pain spells and Im a lot more active after few weeks of adjustments. I would definitely recommend him for all the pre/post natal pains and aches He is very friendly and made me understand the stages in which the healing shall take place. I cannot thank him enough for my improved state of back and Im so glad I went to him in the first place

When I first started going to Dr. Pinkston about five months ago I had pain in my lower back and it was stiff. I also had pain in my upper back and it was radiating into my left shoulder, and the pain was constant. I was taking 9 to 12 Advil every day and I still had pain. I decided to try Dr. Pinkston and decided that I would commit to it for 3 months as I did not believe my back could be healed overnight. In the begining I was going several times a week, but within a couple weeks the pain in my shoulder was gone. In another week or two the pain in my lower back was gone. After about two months I no longer had pain in my back and was only occasionally taking a couple Advil a day, mostly for pain in my feet which comes from walking four or five hours a day. I have also lost 20 pounds since starting with Dr. Pinkston. I feel much better than when I started. My family and coworkers have also noticed I have lost weight and look better. I would highly recommend Dr. Pinkston to anyone who is having pain.

Last winter I found myself with back/neck pain and stiffness due to my work environment and a couple of slips and near falls on the stairs and in a parking lot. Also, I have always had bad posture. I contacted Dr. Pinkston’s office, Gateway to Health, in Chesterfield Mall because I have co-workers who recommended him to me and his location couldn’t be better. I have been in therapy ever since and doing much better. Besides the in-office treatment, I was given exercises that would help me strengthen my week areas. He is very much into having a healthy lifestyle and we even talk about diet. I drink a lot more water now! An unexpected health benefit for me was the sinus treatment. I had no idea that a chiropractor could help me with my sinuses. Also, Dr. Pinkston reviewed my workstation with me and we made adjustments that help prevent problems. Thank you Dr. Pinkston (and Terry)! I will see you in a couple of weeks!

I would definitely recommend Gateway to Health Chiropractic to anyone who has ever had back and/or neck pain even if you think it is minor like I did! Dr. Jon Pinkston is an awesome chiropractor who is passionate about his career and genuinely concerned for his patients and their quality of life. I came in a couple of months back on a free consultation. Boy was I surprised! Turns out I had a lot more going on then I realized. I feel much better now that I have been receiving treatments. The soreness that I had on a daily basis has greatly diminished and my range of motion is improving. Dr. Pinkston will work with you to fit your specific needs and I cant go without mentioning Terry the office receptionist. She is awesome and so sweet! One of the most genuinely nice people. Both Dr. Pinkston and Terry are laid back, welcoming, and considerate people. If you are hesitant to try this place out dont be! You are in good hands!

Hi Im a 37 year old male registered nurse that that had been suffering from back pain for about 20 years. Never wanting to hear that you need back surgery even though I knew something was definitily wrong. I had recently suffered from some back pain that was not the usual it was much worse, so after 2 deep tissue massages, my first, I took the massage therapist advice to see a chiropractor. She referred me to Dr. Pinkston at Gateway to health Chiropractic. Being very skeptical I gave in due to the pain that was so horrible that I couldnt walk upright. After my first visit I was sold. This stuff really works and now Im feeling human again. I would definitely advise using a chiropractor as an alternate to surgery. Now my daughter is seeing Dr. Pinkston. Him and his crew are the bomb!

After running a half marathon in April, my foot was so injured from training that I was unable to run a mile. I saw Dr. Pinkston to help fix my foot and to try the Shape Reclaimed weight loss program to lose a few pounds. With his help and guidance, I lost over 40 pounds and have a very healthy foot! With the excess weight gone and a healthy foot, I am shattering my personal records with every run. The weight loss has transformed my life and made me healthy from the inside out. Dr. Pinkston is amazing!!! He is friendly and professional and cares deeply for each of his patients. Thank you Dr. Pinkston for transforming me!!!
