meet the doctor


Dr. David Wipperman

“KEEPING YOUR FAMILY HEALTHY, NATURALLY!”

“The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease”…..Thomas A. Edison

“As I was growing up, I always knew I wanted to work with my hands, and with other people. I was intrigued by the life sciences, nature and health in general . Chiropractic seemed to bring all these areas together for me, so I pursued a career in it. Through this wonderful drug-free healing art, I can help others achieve their maximum health potential , while making a positive impact on the quality of their lives. Every time a practice member walks out of my office, I want them to have a feeling of empowerment…a feeling that comes from knowing that each visit to us is actually a “personal opportunity” to increase their bodies' ability to heal and regulate, “says Dr. Wipperman. “A far cry from traditional medicine , that tells you your body is weak and you need to take this drug or have that procedure done-or else. The human body is not a machine that occasionally falls apart and needs to be tinkered with, using drugs, and surgery to keep it going. It is a self-healing and self-regulating organism that, if allowed 100% of its self-healing power, can and WILL heal itself.”

Dr. Wipperman is a leader in the vanguard of chiropractors for the New Millennium, employing a totally holistic and compassionate approach to healing much like that of the old-fashioned family physician. After practicing chiropractic for four years in Kansas, California, and Missouri, Dr. Wipperman founded Ballas Chiropractic Centre, a FULL-SERVICE family wellness practice in Creve Coeur. In operation since 1990, Dr. Wipperman boasts a loyal and diverse clientele ranging from a very local and citywide family practice member base, running the gamut from infants, toddlers and teens up to octogenarians.

Dr. Wipperman feels that on-going professional education is essential to delivering the finest chiropractic care to his practice members and to help create the time-honored and often neglected interpersonal relationship between doctor and patient. With a BS in Human Biology from Kansas State University and Logan College and his Doctor of Chiropractic from Logan College of Chiropractic, Chesterfield, Missouri, one of the finest chiropractic schools in the world; and a member of the Chiropractic Leadership Alliance,International Chiropractic Association and World Chiropractic Association, Dr. Wipperman continues to attend a host of post-graduate seminars, workshops and trainings on an on-going basis. He also thoughtfully donates his time to local corporations and businesses conducting Health Fairs, Stress Screenings and Stress Management Workshops.
