Meet Dr. Christina Darin, DC
As a chiropractor in Granite City, Dr. Christina Darin cares for the whole person with a biomechanics-first mindset. Her path began in massage school when a chiropractic instructor reviewed her old X-rays, spotted previously missed scoliosis, and explained how to help without pills or surgery. After multiple car wrecks and limited access to PT while growing up rural, that message clicked. Chiropractic care gave her real relief and a new purpose. Today, she brings that same hope to every patient she meets.
How Dr. Darin Helps Patients Feel Better
Dr. Darin builds custom, X-ray-guided plans that may include corrective exercises, gentle adjustments, GRASTON Technique®, kinesio taping, and more. She has a special interest in scoliosis care, using on-site digital X-ray to understand curve patterns and guide changes toward midline—especially helpful with kids.
