Meet Dr. Michael Saint, D.C.
Born and raised in the foothills of northern Colorado, Dr. Michael grew up immersed in outdoor activities. Among his favorites are camping, hiking, and outdoor pond hockey. That single exposure sparked his interest in the sport and led him to join competitive youth hockey circles at a young age.
An Education in Chiropractic and More
Dr. Michael received a Bachelor of Science in Human Biology and earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Logan College of Chiropractic in 2016. Before this, he completed a Bachelor of Science in Health and Exercise Science with a Sports Medicine Concentration from Colorado State University in December 2013.
His academic journey reflects his passion for understanding human movement and physical wellness from multiple angles.
Gaining Knowledge From His Hockey Career
Throughout his academic pursuits, Dr. Michael maintained his connection to hockey. He was a Colorado State University Division II Men’s Ice Hockey Team member from 2007 to 2011. He joined the Logan University College of Chiropractic Ice Hockey Team from 2013 to 2016.
His athletic background gives him a deep understanding of sports-related injuries and optimal performance strategies that benefit his patients today.
Shaping A Path From Personal Injury Recovery
During his collegiate hockey career, Dr. Michael suffered a severe whiplash injury after a dangerous check into the boards. After being sidelined for almost a year and trying numerous healthcare options with little improvement, it was chiropractic care that finally relieved his neck pain, restored his range of motion, and improved his overall function.
This positive experience marked a turning point in his life and guided him toward a career in the field and his move to Missouri for chiropractic school.
Relieving Pain With Advanced Methods
Dr. Michael is trained in several specific chiropractic methods, including Active Release Technique with ART Spine Certification, Class IV Therapeutic Laser, and Reinert Specific Diversified/Thompson/Gonstead Techniques. These skills allow him to offer patients a range of options tailored to their specific needs.
Professional Networks & Community Engagement
Dr. Michael stays active in both professional networks and community service. He has participated in the O’Fallon Chamber of Commerce since 2017, and a member of Business Networking International’s Give Gain Grow Chapter since 2016.
His passion for hockey continues through his participation in adult recreational leagues, including the Hockey North American St. Louis League and previously the Hardee’s Ice Complex Chesterfield League.
Dr. Michael also shared his knowledge as a Volunteer Head Coach for the Cub Hockey Program at Edora Pool and Ice Center in Fort Collins, CO, from 2008 to 2012.
A Firsthand Approach to Pain Management
Dr. Michael believes in practicing what he preaches. Along with regular exercise and keeping his body moving, he knows the value of chiropractic care firsthand and maintains his own progress through weekly adjustments.
His approach to patient care is both scientific and sympathetic. Having experienced severe injury himself, he understands the frustration and limitations that come with pain and restricted movement.
