"I have been a competitive bodybuilder since 2003. As a result, I have a lot of muscular aggravations that need frequent attention. For several years I was seeking professional help for soft tissue work; Dr. Joel Sellmeyer was referred to me by a friend who experiences similar aches and pains. After scheduling regular visits, Dr. Sellmeyer has proven himself to be a respectful professional in the field who provides noticeable and lasting results. Since becoming his patient, I have seen incredible changes in my physique: improved range of motion, flexibility, muscle separation, blood flow (while I am working out), and overall sense of well-being. Dr. Sellmeyer always goes above and beyond industry standards and I highly recommend his services. -Tony Friedrich III" -1st Phorm Athlete -National Level NPC Bodybuilder
"As we all know, one of the biggest factors for remaining a competitive-athlete in any sport as we age is our ability to avoid injury- and if one does occur, how to heal and return to training as quickly as possible. This is where I feel Joel has been an invaluable asset for me. Not only has he quickly been able to help me overcome lower back, shoulder and knee issues, but also through his Active Release Technique(A.R.T.) -which I had done about every 10 days for a 12 week period last summer- I was able to compete and win my class at 3 bodybuilding competitions totally injury free feeling the best I had in years.

" I had pulled my Ab muscle and thought for sure I wouldn't make my show 4 weeks out. Doc Joel stayed positive and worked on me twice a week. Including once on the weekend. I couldn't thank him enough for his dedication and support through the process. I made the show and won! Thanks Doctor Joel!

"I have been under Dr Joel's care for about a year now, and with his help
I have increased the time I am injury free which enables me to make
consistently better gains. I feel that Dr Joel partners with me in my
athletic endeavors. I ask a lot of my body, and Dr Joel has been the glue
to keep this body going. When seeing Dr Joel I have never felt time
constraint, and I am always treated holistically with an outside the box
mentality. I so appreciate this partnership and look forward to working
with Dr Joel for many years to come. - Joe Corbett"
"I came to Dr Joel Sellmeyer several months ago because I was having deep pain throughout my body,and it was hindering my ability to train as hard as I needed to,to be a top competitor at the bodybuilding competitions I was going to enter. After going to visit Dr Joel,I immediately noticed a difference in my range of motion,and I no longer felt the pain that had caused me to visit him in the first place. I started visiting him once a week,and my physique changed very rapidly,and my results were better than I had hoped for. With his help,I was able to win my weight class at both the Dexter Jackson Classic, and the NPC Battle of Champions. I honestly believe that regular sessions with Dr Joel will be a key factor to my success in this sport,and will allow me to live without pain. - Chris Hawk"
"I competed in my first figure competition in November of 2013. I placed 2nd in novice and 3rd in open. The months that led up to my competition were heavy in leg training. I could not have completed my training if it wasn't for Dr Joel Sellmeyer DC and his therapy. I am so lucky to have a friend who introduced me to him! I was experiencing extreme pain in my legs and hips. So much so that I couldn't do track or lift. After seeing Joel a few times I was able to train pain free! On my track days I just kept getting faster and faster and I could lift heavier on leg days…no pain! This is unheard of for me. Since playing basketball in high school I have always had pain. I highly recommend Dr. Sellmeyer and I will continue to use him as I compete again. - Amy Schromm"
“I have been an athlete and bodybuilding competitor for the majority of my life. With these activities comes a lifetime of injuries. At times in bodybuilding you are literally just trying to just make it to the show without your body breaking down. I have been going to Dr. Sellmeyer in order to keep me in the game. He is never afraid to refer me to an orthopedist or specialist to get a second opinion, and always has my best interest in mind. I appreciate all he has done, and all he continues to do for me. – Greg Steiner”
"With the assistance of Dr. Joel Sellmeyer I was able to recover from a partial torn rotator cuff to compete in the Missouri Body Building contest July 13, 2013 to win 1st place in men's masters 60 plus!
Thanks Joel for your friendship as well as your professional side. - Nelson Scherrer"
"I have been involved in athletics and exercise all my life: soccer and track in high school, soccer and triathlon in college, and crossfit and weight-training currently. However, the years of abuse had taken a toll on my body. My muscles were tight, my back was constantly flaring up, and I struggled to string workouts together without waking up wrecked or suffering through terrible tension headaches. Luckily, a friend of mine suggested that I try Dr. Sellmeyer because of his experience dealing with athletes and his willingness to go the extra mile to get his clients results! I could not be happier that I tried Dr. Sellmeyer! My tension headaches are a thing of the past and I feel better, recover better, and train harder than I have in years. I am convinced that Dr. Sellmeyer has allowed me to take my training to another level and has improved my daily quality of life considerably! If you visit Dr. Sellmeyer once you’ll never want to see another chiropractor again!" - Braden Posey"
"I started seeing Dr. Sellmeyer about one year ago when I was experiencing shoulder pain, and neck pain. I had been in pain for a while, and never could understand why it would not just go away. After seeing Dr. Sellmeyer for the first appointment I knew he would be the one I would be seeing forever. He explained to me the importance of treating my stressed muscles along with adjusting my neck and spine. He treated me according to my description of the issue, because no one way fixes it all. After the first few treatments I was truly amazed on how much better I felt. He was also very nice and patient answering all of my questions and concerns, along with being right on time with little to no wait. I would recommend him to anyone who was in pain. He is a wonderful Dr! - Cassie Laster"
"I have seen Dr. Joel Sellmeyer for neck, lower back pain and shoulder pain since July 2013. He has been an excellent provider of chiropractic care and has done an exceptional job at minimizing the number of times I have had to come in for treatments.
Dr. Joel is unlike any chiropractor I have seen in that he does not insist I come in three times a week or try to sell me any additional supplements, formulas or gadgets to make me feel better. He evaluates your condition, and thoroughly explains treatment options. He uses chiropractic techniques of soft and deep tissue work, electrical stimulation, ultrasound, and some manual adjustments.
I have been impressed with his integrity, efficiency, and great personality. He is always upbeat, humorous and manages to get me onto his schedule when I need him. I have and will continue to refer patients to him who have also been pleased with his services and abilities.
Despite the fact that he is young, I rate his professionalism and performance as a chiropractor as outstanding. - Dianne Roling"
"Dr. Joel is great! I originally saw Dr. Joel for some neck pain. He immediately addressed my issue and it has never returned. I now see Dr. Joel on a regular basis for preventive maintenance, soft tissue work and great conversation! I highly recommend Dr. Joel for anyone. - Brian Whiting"
"I've been lifting weights for approximately 30 years. Anything that you do for that length of time can take it's toll on your body & musculature.
I love Dr. Joel's innovative approach to ART and myofascia therapy. Not only does it help me during contest prep but he makes my "every day" lifestyle a lot more pain free & productive.
I have sent several of my own clients to Dr. Joel for various reasons. If your back needs adjusting, if you suffer from chronic migraines, or if you're like me & wound like a top Dr. Joel can & will help you. - Kristina Gerhardt" - NASM - CPT -CES -CNS
"Dr. Sellmeyer has been and continues to be a very professional and reliable chiropractor and friend! He always seems to make time for treatment, regardless of how busy he may seem. I'm not just a patient or a number with him! I have found great results with Dr. Sellmeyers' soft tissue work; occasional adjustments help keep me healthy as well! I highly recommend him, thanks Doc! - Rob Farr"
