The questions below are the ones West County people ask this desk, answered in the desk's own voice and with only the facts the clinic publishes. If your question is not here, the phone is the fastest way to an answer: the O'Fallon room is (636) 280-0990, outside the 12 to 2 closure.
Is there a clinic room in Chesterfield itself?
No, and this desk will not imply one. The near room is the O'Fallon room of Missouri Injury Clinic at 2163 West Terra Lane, a direct run west on 64 over the Boone Bridge. The Tesson Ferry room in south county is the alternate if 270 south is your natural direction. See the three rooms.
How soon after a crash on 64 should I be examined?
This week. Symptoms commonly arrive on a delay of one to three days, and the point of an early exam is to get findings written down and dated before the symptoms peak, not after. Call, say it was a crash, say when, and ask for the earliest exam. We explain the delay in two days later.
I felt fine at the scene. Does that mean I am fine?
It means you felt fine at the scene. Stress hormones dampen pain for hours, and soft-tissue injury builds over the following days. Day one is a bad witness. If on the second morning you cannot turn your head fully, sit at a screen without a headache, or sleep through the night, the crash is still going on.
Who runs the clinic?
Joseph L. Hollingsworth, DC, a chiropractor. The clinic is Missouri Injury Clinic, and its motto is putting the CARE back in Healthcare. He is not a lawyer and this is not a law office.
What happens at the first visit?
A history of what happened, a physical exam, a diagnosis if the findings support one, and a written plan you can repeat out loud. All dated. If the findings call for imaging or a different specialty, the right answer is a referral. Read from the valley to the exam table.
What should I bring?
A photo ID, your insurance information, the date and place of the crash, anything the emergency room gave you if you went, and a short list of what hurts and when it started. If you already have an attorney, bring their contact so records can be sent where they need to go.
Do I need to have decided anything about a claim first?
No. You do not need to have decided anything about a claim before you get examined. The record is a care document first. It exists so the next clinician works from facts, not memory. If a claim is ever part of your story, the dated record from the first exam is what everyone will ask for, and it will exist because you did the medically sensible thing promptly.
What about Wednesdays at the O'Fallon room?
Wednesday and Friday are by appointment there. Call (636) 280-0990 and they will set a time. Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday the room runs 9 to 6. Every room closes from 12 to 2 each day.
My call went unanswered at 12:30. Is the room closed?
Every Missouri Injury Clinic room closes daily from 12 to 2 for meetings. Call in the morning or after 2. This is the single most common reason a reader's first call goes nowhere.
My teenager took a hit in a game at the valley fields. Same clinic?
Yes. Sports injuries are one of the clinic's three published lanes, described as return-to-training care for athletes, and its concussion tools apply to a Saturday head as much as a Tuesday one. A hit to the head is a concussion question until someone qualified says otherwise. See weekend athletes.
The airbag went off but I never blacked out. Could I still have a concussion?
Yes. Most concussions happen without a loss of consciousness, and the signs, headache, fog, light sensitivity, irritability, sleep changes, can lag by days. A head injury with vomiting, worsening confusion, one-sided weakness, or trouble speaking is an emergency room trip right now. Otherwise, read heads after airbags and call.
Does insurance get sorted at the first visit?
Bring your insurance information and ask the clinic directly how a visit is billed and what they accept. This desk does not publish payment terms for a clinic it does not own, and will not describe an arrangement it cannot verify. The priority is getting the exam done promptly.
I coordinate care for injured clients in West County. What do I need to know?
Call the O'Fallon room directly for scheduling at (636) 280-0990. Ordinary scheduling by phone is the whole process. Patients get an exam with a documented diagnosis and treatment plan, produced as part of normal care. Nothing else is suggested or needed.
It has been three weeks since my crash. Is it too late?
No. A later exam is still a real exam. Be honest about the timeline on the phone and in the room; that honesty is part of the record. The worst outcome is not a late exam. It is no exam.
Is this site the clinic?
No. Chesterfield Wellness News is an advertising-supported community journal. It is compensated for featuring Missouri Injury Clinic, it does not examine anyone, and it does not hold anyone's chart. Read about this desk.
Chest pain, a sudden severe headache, weakness or numbness on one side, trouble speaking, a loss of bowel or bladder control, or a head injury with vomiting or worsening confusion is an emergency room trip right now, not a call to a clinic.

Missouri Injury Clinic
Putting the CARE back in Healthcare
One clinic, three rooms, one chiropractor's standards. Joseph L. Hollingsworth, DC, publishes three lanes: auto injuries (diagnosis and a treatment plan after a crash), TBI and concussion rehab, and sports injuries. For Chesterfield the near room is O'Fallon, straight west on 64.
Call the room you can drive to this week, say it was a crash, and ask for the earliest exam. If you already have an attorney, bring their contact so records can be sent where they need to go. You do not need to have decided anything about a claim before you get examined.
