I can't say enough great things about Dr Wertel. He is fantastic, amazing, professional, accommodating and caring! I was struggled with lower back issues in the last 5 years. I felt a huge difference, even, after the first session. I could not be more impressed. The front desk staff is so unbelievably helpful and kind. I would give 10 stars, if I could. He is simply the best! I highly recommend.

I live in South St. Louis, It was very convenient for me in my commute. The Office clean and cozy, the staff was friendly and helpful, plus the Doctor resolved my discomfort. He also gave me exercises to do at home to help keep me limber. I recommend Dr. Wertel for anyone in the St. Louis metro area, who needs assistance in natural pain management and range of motion issues. Sincerely Darryl Parks

Exceptionally good doctor!! I quit my regular chiropractor after one visit to Dr. Wertle. He gives super productive adjustments and didn't try milk my insurance. Conventional doctors all recommended surgery. Other chiropractors just profited from NOT fixing me. But Dr. Wertle "straightened me right up!" Years later I am (still)strong as an ox and no longer have to see him!! Forever grateful to you, Dr. Wertle!!
