A Patient-First Philosophy
No two people experience pain the same way.
That's why every treatment begins with listening.
Dr. Hagner takes time to understand your symptoms, daily activities, health history, and long-term goals before recommending care. Rather than focusing solely on where pain occurs, he looks at how the body functions as a whole.
By understanding movement patterns, posture, joint mobility, and muscle function, treatment can be tailored specifically to your needs.
This patient-centered approach allows care to be individualized instead of following a one-size-fits-all treatment plan.
Personalized Chiropractic Care
Every patient receives a thorough evaluation before treatment begins.
Depending on your condition, care may include:
-
Chiropractic adjustments
-
Joint mobility assessment
-
Movement evaluation
-
Postural analysis
-
Home stretching recommendations
-
Ergonomic education
-
Lifestyle recommendations
-
Wellness guidance
Treatment recommendations are based on your examination findings, health history, and goals—not simply on symptoms alone.
Helping You Stay Active
Pain often keeps people from doing the things they enjoy most.
Whether your goal is:
-
Working comfortably
-
Playing with grandchildren
-
Returning to golf
-
Gardening
-
Exercising
-
Sleeping better
-
Traveling comfortably
Dr. Hagner's focus is helping you move with greater confidence and less discomfort so you can continue living an active lifestyle.
From Patient to Chiropractor
Dr. Gary Hagner was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, and graduated from Hazelwood Central High School. He later earned his Bachelor of Science in Human Biology, but his path to becoming a chiropractor began with a personal experience.
In 2001, Dr. Hagner injured his lower back. Like many people, he knew very little about chiropractic care and wasn't initially sure what to expect. After pursuing conventional medical treatment without finding the relief he was looking for, he was referred to a chiropractor.
After just one week of receiving chiropractic adjustments, Dr. Hagner recalls being about 90% better. That experience changed the direction of his career.
“A year later, I pursued my dream of becoming a chiropractor.”
Dr. Hagner went on to earn his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Logan College of Chiropractic in 2006, where he was recognized with a Certificate of Merit for Outstanding Academic Achievement.
In 2010, he opened his own chiropractic office in the St. Charles area, creating a practice with room for chiropractic care and massage therapy. Today, he continues that commitment to personalized care at Balanced Body Chiropractic in St. Peters.
Education, Training & Professional Credentials
Patients place tremendous trust in their healthcare providers, and Dr. Hagner takes that responsibility seriously.
His education began with a Bachelor of Science in Human Biology from Logan College of Chiropractic in 2004, followed by his Doctor of Chiropractic degree in 2006.
During his chiropractic education, Dr. Hagner received a Certificate of Merit for Outstanding Academic Achievement from Logan College of Chiropractic.
His professional training also includes successful completion of Parts I, II, III and IV of the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners examinations, as well as the NBCE Physiotherapy Examination.
Dr. Hagner also completed a 100-hour Basic Postgraduate Course in Applied Kinesiology through the International College of Applied Kinesiology.
His commitment to education continues beyond his degrees and formal training. Dr. Hagner remains committed to ongoing professional education and evidence-informed chiropractic care, helping him stay current with evolving knowledge, techniques and best practices while providing individualized recommendations for his patients.

Care That Goes Beyond the Adjustment
Dr. Hagner believes good chiropractic care involves more than addressing where a patient hurts.
He wants patients to understand what may be contributing to their symptoms, what he finds during their evaluation, and why a particular approach is being recommended.
His own experience as a patient helped shape that philosophy. He understands what it's like to be hurting, searching for answers and wondering which treatment approach may actually help.
That perspective continues to influence the way he practices today: listen carefully, evaluate the individual, explain the findings clearly, and develop care around the patient's needs and goals.
Ultimately, the goal isn't simply to help someone feel better today. It's to help patients move more comfortably, understand their bodies and get back to the activities that matter to them.
