Crossing 06 · Questions

Twelve questions from the east bank, answered without the runaround.

The questions people on the Illinois side ask, in the order people ask them. Geography first, because that is what trips people up, then the exam, then the record.

Short answers, sourced only from what Missouri Injury Clinic publishes on moinjuryclinic.com and from the map. Anything the clinic does not publish, ask the room on the phone.

Geography

Is there a Missouri Injury Clinic location in Illinois?

No. All three rooms are in Missouri: Hazelwood in north St. Louis County, Tesson Ferry in south St. Louis County, and O'Fallon in St. Charles County. This guide says so everywhere geography comes up, because a guide that blurs it is not a guide.

Which room is closest to Granite City or Edwardsville?

Hazelwood, by I-270 over the Chain of Rocks Bridge. The North County room is at 14 Village Square Shop Ctr, Hazelwood, MO 63042, phone (314) 627-1411. Monday to Thursday 9 to 6, Friday 9 to 12, closed daily from 12 to 2.

And from Columbia, Waterloo, or Dupo?

Tesson Ferry, by I-255 over the Jefferson Barracks Bridge. The South County room is at 11144 Tesson Ferry Road, Suite 200, Saint Louis, MO 63123, phone (314) 530-5480. Same hours as Hazelwood, same 12 to 2 close.

From Belleville or Fairview Heights, which room?

Either. I-64 over the Poplar Street Bridge, then I-55 south toward Tesson Ferry or I-70 north toward Hazelwood. Pick the end of St. Louis County you already know how to drive. Bridge by bridge has the full table.

Will a Missouri clinic see someone with an Illinois address?

The clinic publishes no residency rule that this desk can find. Call the nearest room, say you are coming from Illinois, and confirm what they accept and what to bring. The clinic handles its own particulars; this desk does not publish payment terms for a clinic it does not own.

The O'Fallon room: Illinois or Missouri?

Missouri. 2163 West Terra Lane, O'Fallon, MO 63366, in St. Charles County off I-70. It is not the O'Fallon in St. Clair County, Illinois. The two O'Fallons exists because this mix-up is real.

The exam

I feel fine. Do I still need an exam?

Feeling fine at the scene is a reading of your adrenaline, not your spine. Neck and back pain after a crash commonly shows up a day or three later. An exam this week either finds something while it is still easy to treat or writes down that it found nothing, and both are worth having. If days have already passed, go anyway.

What do I say on the phone?

Three things: it was a car crash, it happened on this date, and you are coming from the Illinois side and want an exam this week. Then ask what to bring. The first visit covers the rest.

Can a concussion be evaluated there?

Yes. TBI and concussion rehab is a lane the clinic publishes, with named tools: oculomotor rehabilitation, neurofeedback, Alpha Stim, vagus nerve stimulation at the tragus, sensory motor integration, exercise with oxygen, and computerized cognitive rehabilitation. A head injury with vomiting or worsening confusion is an emergency room trip first, not a clinic call.

The record and the desk

Do I need to have decided anything about a claim before I go?

No. You do not need to have decided anything about a claim before you get examined. The record is a care document first; it exists so the next clinician works from facts, not memory. If you already have an attorney, bring their contact so records can be sent where they need to go. If you do not, nothing about the exam changes.

Is this guide the clinic?

No. The Metro East Chiro Guide is advertising published for Missouri Injury Clinic. It is a reading desk, not a clinic, not a law office, and not a party to anyone's insurance claim. It publishes only what the clinic publishes about itself, plus the geography. About this guide states the relationship in full.

When is the clinic the wrong call?

Chest pain, a sudden severe headache, weakness or numbness on one side, trouble speaking, a loss of bowel or bladder control, or a head injury with vomiting or worsening confusion is an emergency room trip right now, not a call to a clinic. You do not cross a river for an emergency; you go to the nearest emergency room on whichever bank you are standing. The clinic visit comes after, with the discharge papers in hand.

A question this page does not answer is a question for the clinic, and the number to ask it on is the one for the room your bridge favors. Educational only. Nothing on this page is medical advice or a diagnosis; the person to ask is a licensed clinician who has examined you. Facts about the clinic come from moinjuryclinic.com. Emergency symptoms go to an emergency room, on whichever side of the river you are standing, not to a clinic or a website.
