Creve Coeur, MO Health and Fitness

An arsenal of high-tech tools designed for improved patient safety and results bends to the will of Dr. Seth Gladson and Dr. Menaka Chandra at Chesterfield Park Dental. Digital x-rays expose patients to less radiation than traditional skeletal snapshots and can be viewed from any office computer, including the tiny screen in the receptionist's watch. An intra-oral camera displays its vantage point on flat-screen monitors during thorough mouth investigations, and laser detectors scan for cavities that might otherwise be mistaken for raisins. Once mouth health is in check, the team at Chesterfield Park Dental can enhance the appearance of chompers with cosmetic procedures such as Invisalign and Zoom! whitening.

Holistic Fitness aims to cleanse the body inside and out, employing staff members whose talents stretch as wide as their tallest client's arms. Three certified colon hydrotherapists, three massage therapists, and a doctor of chiropractic all call the holistic center home and offer services that complement one another. For example, Dr. Anne Roulo often recommends her chiropractic patients combine adjustments with colon hydrotherapy, which can increase energy levels and wash away toxic material.

It's fitting that the Central Institute for Human Performance is located inside a restored high-school building. Since the original lockers still line the hallways and the Karel Lewit Clinic for rehabilitation sits in what used to be the administrative offices, the glossy walls and floors often remind visitors of their athletic dreams when they once strolled through their own high schools. While the rehabilitation clinic treats injuries and physical trauma, the immaculate and spacious gym helps athletes improve or maintain their physical well-being. Fitness instructors challenge their students through innovative, small-group classes such as Strongman workouts. The center's consulting team, which earned a nod from Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak, offers nutritional guidance and lifestyle coaching to help members reach their goals. Professional jerseys hang above modern equipment to further inspire athletes to dream big and remember to pick up their dry cleaning.

Doctor of Chiropractic Phillip Meyers and his wife, professional counselor Emily Meyers, take a holistic approach to health that combines advanced technology with traditional chiropractic and massage techniques. Dr. Meyers, for example, employs the gentle adjustments of chiropractic plus kinesiology to relieve ailments that range from headaches to back pain. Though he relies partly on personal consultations, a subconscious computerized integrative operating system—SCIO—helps him diagnose concerns. For their part, the center’s experienced massage therapists keep busy relaxing tension and loosening muscular knots with talent unheard of since Houdini’s final escape from Earth.

The staff of fitness experts at Best Body Fitness works with its clients to lose weight and tone muscles with training and nutrition. In addition to body-composition analysis and personal training, the staff also offers fitness classes such as Hard-Body Yoga, which combines the stretching of yoga with strength training.
