Stephen Pobst, DC

Dr. Stephen Pobst is a highly experienced chiropractor; treating patients with chronic or acute back, neck, shoulder, sciatic nerve and extremity pain.

Dr. Pobst has extensive background in treatment of sports injury and performance. He has worked as the strength and conditioning coach at the University of Missouri-St. Louis and has worked with several other collegiate level athletes and top level high school athletes for sport specific training and has evaluated hundreds of swing mechanics for tennis.

Dr. Pobst will be Functional Movement Systems certified in November and he is currently working on his CSCS (Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist) which is essentially one of the most prestigious certifications for personal training. This certification is widely used to train professional athletes.

Dr. Pobst has a genuine care and interest in people. Not just potential clients/patients, but people of all sorts. He truly enjoys sitting and listening to people’s story and spends a lot of face time with people when they come into the door because Dr. Pobst wants to know them as a person for two reasons: 1.) because he cares 2.) because it allows him to understand where they are coming from and this could affect the approach he takes with their treatment.

Dr. Pobst focuses primarily on research based treatment protocols that address the actual root of the problem. He will perform a functional screening to evaluate and find the true weakness that allowed for the pain/symptom to persist. He is committed to offering the most optimal treatments and is focused on results.

Dr. Pobst chose the chiropractic because he enjoyed the physical medicine aspect. He looks forward to the rehab aspect of treatment and also enjoys the challenge of finding imbalances throughout the body that over a period of time express themselves in both typical and atypical ways. All people are different and have done different things to their body throughout their life. There is no cookie cutter approach when it comes to healthcare.

Dr. Pobst is dedicated to the concept of offering quality care to the Louisville Metro area and specifically the Highlands community.
