“Anissa Wheeler was my therapist. She is fantastic and very knowledgeable. She is very friendly and I would recommend STL Pain Center to everybody. I was having left knee pain and my doctor said that I needed knee surgery. I am 71 years old and I didn't want to go through surgery so I went to STL Pain Center to see if they could do me any good. I took a gel shot once a week for 5 weeks and they helped tremendously. If you are having knee pain I recommend STL Pain Center. Thank you very much Anissa Wheeler for all your help with relieving my knee pain.”

Trusted Pain Care in South St. Louis County

Whether you spend your weekends at Forest Park or cheering the Cardinals near Busch Stadium, South County residents stay active. Chronic pain, worn-down joints, or the persistent discomfort of neuropathy should not hold them back.

From the Gateway Arch National Park waterfront, where Fair Saint Louis celebrates every summer, to the neighborhoods of Oakville and Mehlville, St. Louis patients deserve to live their fullest lives. STL Pain Center on Telegraph Road serves this community with a non-surgical, regenerative approach to pain management. Under the direction of Dr. Andrew Morningstar, DC and physical therapist Anissa Wheeler, our team provides individualized care across three service areas: Medical Clinic services for nerve conditions, Orthopedic Clinic treatments for joints and musculoskeletal damage, and a supervised Medical Weight Loss program.

Located about 15 minutes from SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital, we are proud to serve the same South St. Louis County community. Our region also benefits from world-class medical research at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine. Our clinic at 4455 Telegraph Rd, Suite 250 welcomes new patients Monday through Thursday from Oakville, Mehlville, Fenton, Arnold, Crestwood, St. Louis Hills, and beyond.

Medical Clinic in St. Louis, MO

Nerve pain rarely responds well to medication alone. The burning, tingling, and numbness of peripheral neuropathy, or the sharp radiating pain of sciatica, comes from underlying nerve damage or dysfunction. Treating only the symptom gives only temporary relief.

STL Pain Center's Medical Clinic services go deeper. Neuropathy Treatment uses targeted non-invasive protocols to address nerve dysfunction at its source. Neuromodulation Technique applies calibrated neurological input to reduce pain signals and help restore healthy nerve communication. Together, these two approaches give South County patients something most area clinics do not offer: a genuine path toward nerve recovery rather than indefinite symptom management.

Weight Loss Service in St. Louis, MO

Excess weight is one of the most direct contributors to joint degeneration, back pain, and chronic inflammation. For many STL Pain Center patients, supervised weight loss is not just a lifestyle goal. It is a direct treatment for the pain they are managing right now.

Our Medical Weight Loss program provides physician-guided oversight from start to finish. No fad diets and no unsupervised supplements. A clinical plan that accounts for your medical history, your current pain profile, and the goals you are working toward.

Orthopedic Clinic in St. Louis, MO

Joint pain and musculoskeletal injuries do not always require surgery. At STL Pain Center's Orthopedic Clinic, we offer three regenerative treatments that work with your body's natural healing mechanisms.

PRP Therapy uses your own platelet-rich plasma to accelerate tissue repair and reduce inflammation at the injury site. Hyaluronic Acid Injections provide lubrication and cushioning for worn knee joints. This is the treatment that helped patient Lester Brannam avoid knee replacement surgery after five weekly gel shots with Anissa Wheeler. Regenerative Therapy combines multiple orthopedic modalities into a comprehensive joint restoration protocol.

These are not temporary pain patches. They are designed to support real, long-term joint health.

Why Patients Choose STL Pain Center

A team that takes time. Dr. Andrew Morningstar, DC and Anissa Wheeler review your full history before recommending any treatment. No rushed visits and no rotating staff who do not know your case.

Non-surgical by design. From PRP to hyaluronic acid injections to neuromodulation, every treatment at STL Pain Center is chosen because it helps your body recover, not because it is the easiest option to prescribe.

South County specialists. Neuropathy, knee pain, back pain, and sciatica are the conditions we see and treat every day. We know them deeply.

Accessible location. Our clinic at 4455 Telegraph Rd #250 is easily reachable from Oakville, Mehlville, Fenton, Arnold, Crestwood, and throughout South St. Louis County.
