"After one full session with dry needling and movement, my hip pain was significantly less the very next day. You can tell they care about educating their clients, not just 'treating' symptoms."
Kelsey Watters
"I've been having the same issues for over 10 years without any clear path forward. Every session has eased pain further while also giving me more tools to move into a place of self-sufficiency."
Andrea Donohue

Everything you need to know about ankle sprain treatment and care at 417 Performance Chiropractic in Springfield, MO.
We're built differently by design. Every visit is one-on-one — a full hour with your provider, never double-booked or handed off to a tech. Instead of a quick adjustment and out the door, we start with a 45–60 minute movement-based evaluation to find the root cause of your ankle problem. From there, every session combines hands-on manual therapy (dry needling, joint mobilization, IASTM, shockwave) with structured, progressive corrective exercise — because relief has to last.
417 Performance is a self-pay clinic — no referral is ever needed. We offer all-inclusive flat-rate pricing with no surprise charges, and every treatment included in your plan is covered under one rate. We accept HSA and FSA cards, and we can provide a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement with your insurance provider. Same-week appointments are available.
Your initial visit runs 45–60 minutes. Your provider will take a detailed history of your injury, run a Functional Movement Assessment to evaluate your ankle mechanics, strength, and stability, and give you a clear diagnosis and a written plan. You'll leave your first visit knowing exactly what's wrong, why it happened, and what the path to recovery looks like — not a vague 'let's see how it goes.'
