I have always wanted to be a doctor since I was a child. However, since becoming a follower of Christ in 2006, and a doctor of chiropractic in 2008, I have come to an understanding that has changed my perspective on healthcare dramatically….

True healing can only result from being whole.

I am not a chiropractor to put out your pain fires and chase your symptoms. Instead, I am here to be in a relationship with you, to learn your unique health story, consider how it relates with your life story, and serve as a guide on your journey through the fear, anxiety, doubt and/or perfectionistic tendencies that influence your day to day health decisions. My personal experiences, graduate and postgraduate training, have created the perfect framework to help others with weight loss/body image, prenatal and postpartum health, and helping you understand what wellness looks like in your life right now. In essence, I look at my vocation as a place to disciple people to better health, so that they can be better versions of themselves for service to their families, their communities, and their God.

My goal is never to shame you into change, or motivate you by fear. Instead, as a client, you will experience a coach who is not afraid to speak truth about your health situation in love, will educate you about the physiological processes your body is going through, and pray with you and for you as you navigate the hard places.

Hello! My name is Ashley Howe and I am excited to be joining the Crossroads Family Chiropractic team as an associate. I was an intern at Crossroads during the summer of 2020 and graduated from Logan University in August of 2020. I grew up in Muncie, Indiana where I fell in love with and married my best friend, Tim Howe. This is also where I earned my Bachelor’s degree in exercise science from Ball State University. I then journeyed to Missouri to pursue my calling as a chiropractor.

My faith has grown stronger since moving to Missouri as Tim and I have faced challenges but with God’s guidance, he has placed people and resources in our lives to help us overcome the odds. My education at Logan and experience adjusting adults as well as young children and babies as part of the Logan pediatric rotation have set me up for a rewarding career working as a family chiropractic physician. I am so grateful for this opportunity to work with the wonderful people at Crossroads and continue my spiritual journey while helping patients find hope and healing.

Crossroads family, my name is Dr. Cait and I am beyond blessed & excited to embark on my journey here at Crossroads Family Chiropractic. My path to get here was nothing short of an answered prayer & the Lord’s sovereignty over our family has been so special to experience. I knew I wanted to be a chiropractor during my senior year of high-school when I endured an injury to my low back, resulting in many visits to my local chiropractor. I fell in love with what this doctor was able to do to help me get out of pain and experience such healing in a rough season of long distance running. I then went on to complete my undergraduate at Ohio Wesleyan University to study Exercise Science and Nutrition & continue my running career through Cross Country and Track & Field.

After many nights of prayer, I ended up in a brand new city with my husband here in St. Louis to pursue my dream of becoming a pediatric and prenatal chiropractor! Throughout my schooling I was drawn heavily to the pediatric and pregnancy populations through various seminars, electives, and my preceptorship where I worked closely with the pediatric clinician at Logan for in-depth training during my final year of schooling. I have such a heart for the pediatric population that I knew I wanted to continue to learn and grow as a pediatric physician, therefore I enrolled in a Masters of Integrative Pediatrics to further my knowledge & training in serving such a resilient population.

My faith has truly grown in a beautiful way throughout the years from being an avid distance runner and finding my identity in being a competitor, to seeing the Lord’s faithfulness in bringing me through the hills and valleys of such intense schooling and change. It’s been a joy to live here in St. Louis with my husband Tommy who is a Track & Field coach at WashU, & our two golden retriever pups all while being surrounded by our amazing church family. My husband and I are also expecting our first baby here in July, 2023 which is the biggest blessing that we are ecstatic about!

Finally, I like to consider myself different in that my first priority is to love on and build relationships with every one of my patient’s. I’m here to serve you, pray over you, advocate for you, and be a part of your journey to healing. I look forward to meeting all of your shining faces in the office soon!

Chiropractic Intern

My name is Anna Konopelkin and I am from California. I’ve always wanted to help people and growing up in a holistic home, I knew Chiropractic was a way I can allow people to heal from the inside out without being invasive. I like to approach health from a proactive and preventative lifestyle. Having an associates in Natural Sciences and 4 years of experience of working as an emergency medical tech, I am glad God led me to a profession where I can advocate for my patients that healing starts from within. I am excited to work at Crossroads with Dr.Abbe, Dr.Ashley, Dr.Cait, and Laura because their passion is Christ first. Working in an environment where faith and health come together only helps the healing beginning. Can’t wait to meet new patients and see them heal through Chiropractic care!

Nutritional Therapy Practitioner
Revelation Wellness Instructor

My love for all things health and wellness began at the age of 14 after I vowed to myself I would lose the extra pounds I carried on my adolescent frame that left me feeling ashamed and insecure about my body. In a matter of months, I managed to lose 45 pounds by making healthier food choices and moving my body. This accomplishment fueled my desire to learn more about nutrition which eventually led me to pursue an undergraduate degree in Health Psychology from Greenville University, and most recently my certification as a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner.

While my personal healthy journey began from a place of shame and the desperation to gain the approval of my peers, it was not until I invited Jesus to be at the center of my new-found healthy lifestyle that I began to find true freedom in the process. Now it is my greatest passion to lead others into this place of freedom in their own lives by helping them uncover and overcome the obstacles that undermine their health and re-establish habits that will create a legacy of health for generations to come.

Insurance Information

Our Office is an out-of-network provider with all insurance companies.  That allows us to keep our fees lower and also offer family plans that make care affordable for the whole family.

We do help patients work with their insurance companies if they have chiropractic benefits by providing the needed paperwork for you to get reimbursed.  Probably about 1/3 of our patients submit our services to their insurance company for reimbursement, but the majority do not.  And that is because either it is more beneficial for them to use their health savings or flexible spending card or because our office fees are low enough that they are often comparable to patient’s co-pays and make submitting the claims obsolete.

pregnancy

Pregnancy

Crossroads Family Chiropractic has been one of the few prenatal chiropractic offices in St. Louis. Dr. Keen and Dr. Shay share 12 years of hands on experience and have over 400 post-doctorate hours of study concerning prenatal and pediatric care.

Having had 7 children between them, the doctors have experienced practically every prenatal ailment and birth experience. This allows for them to greatly empathize and relate to expecting mothers; whether first baby or fourth!

Our office works closely with many area midwives, OB/GYNs, doulas and birth educators to support women who have the following complaints:

  • Sciatic pain
  • Breech presentation
  • Restless leg
  • Swelling
  • Headaches
  • Back pain

But prenatal chiropractic care is not merely to deal with pain. Chiropractic also supports the natural process of pregnancy and labor.

  • Prepares mother’s pelvis for easier pregnancy and birth
  • Allows for a safer, easier birth for mother, decreasing the potential for intervention
  • Reduces interference to the mother’s vital nerve system enabling optimal baby development
  • Offers baby room to move in to best position for birthing
  • Give baby room to develop without restrictions to its forming cranium and spine
  • With proper fetal positioning, there is a significant decrease in prolonged labor and the resulting birth trauma caused by interventions.

Our clients often have questions. If yours’ in not listed below, please do not hesitate to call our office during business hours. We would be happy to assist you.

pediatrics

Pediatrics

Although we love to provide care of all spines, our passion lies in working with families. Both being mothers, we know the special attention that pregnant women and their children need when receiving chiropractic care. Our office has a warm and inviting atmosphere that gladly welcomes children of any age. We pride ourselves in educating families about their health care options. This empowers parents to make important decisions out of confidence, not fear.

For parents, seeking a holistic model of care for their growing families; chiropractic is the answer. In 2007, the ICPA presented ground breaking research comprised of 812 pediatric cases, totaling 1,436 office visits in children ranging in age from less than 1 day to 18 years old. Not only did the research show that chiropractic care is safe for children, but parents reported that their children experienced:

  • Improved sleeping
  • Improved behavior and attitude
  • Improved immune system function

Reasons that parents bring their children into Dr. Shay and Dr. Keen include:

  • Support for infant after a traumatic birth or c-section
  • Help infants struggling to nurse properly
  • Aid in proper digestion for babies that are colicky or irritable
  • Maximize brain and nerve development
  • Strengthen immunity
  • Aid nervous system to develop gross and fine motor skills
  • Provide a natural, non-invasive alternative in treating colds, earaches, and general illness
  • Care for poor spinal posture and scoliosis
  • Support children with asthma, breathing difficulties and allergies
  • Alleviate bed wetting and digestive complaints
  • Care for headaches, backaches and growing pains
