Yes. Chuck Renner is a Certified Hand Therapist (CHT): early in his career he specialized in upper-extremity rehabilitation (the hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder) and was among the first group of therapists to earn the credential. When an injury needs to be immobilized, he can make a custom splint fitted to you, which is far better than one that is mass-produced. Call 417-248-1056.

The practice is out-of-network with all health plans. If you have out-of-network benefits, you will get a copy of your bill to submit to your plan yourself. Its occupational therapists are not enrolled as Medicare providers, so Medicare will not pay for the services and they are paid privately at the time of service. Receipts are available for HSA, HRA and FSA plans. The full details are in the Payment Agreement on the website.

Please give at least 24 hours’ notice to cancel a scheduled appointment. With less notice, a late cancellation or no-show fee of 50% of the visit rate applies; the practice may waive it at its discretion. Call or text 417-248-1056.

SubZero uses pressurized CO₂ gas to chill a small area of the body fast enough to cause “thermal shock”, which activates the body’s healing response: muscles relax, fresh blood and nutrients move to the area, and pain signals quiet down. It is quick and non-invasive, with no downtime. Chuck Renner offers SubZero in Springfield, MO; you can add it to a session or ask whether it fits what you are dealing with.

Yes. Class IV laser therapy is a noninvasive treatment that uses therapeutic light energy to support the body’s natural healing processes.
