What is Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic care focuses on the relationship between the spine, nervous system, and overall body function. Through gentle, precise adjustments, chiropractic care helps improve movement, reduce tension, and restore better balance throughout the body. Many people seek chiropractic care for back pain, neck pain, headaches, posture concerns, pregnancy-related discomfort, and general wellness care for the whole family.

Meet Your Skilled and Compassionate Doctor

Dr. David Wipperman has cared for families in the St. Louis area for more than 35 years. A 1985 graduate of Logan College of Chiropractic, he brings a well-rounded approach that combines chiropractic care, nutrition, and functional medicine. His goal is to help patients better understand their health, improve mobility, and feel more at ease in their daily lives.

Dr. Wipperman works with patients of all ages, including children, expectant mothers, busy professionals, and adults seeking long-term wellness care. Patients appreciate his clear explanations, thoughtful recommendations, and warm, down-to-earth manner.

As chiropractors, we are trained to locate and correct subluxations. A subluxation is a vertebra that is out of place, causing irritation of the surrounding nerves. This nervous system interference impairs the normal flow of communication between your brain and your body, resulting in health problems such as pain, dysfunction of organs and other issues.

Since your brain and nervous system control everything your body does, it’s important to keep them healthy and functioning properly. When messages from your brain are delivered correctly to your body, your cells, organs, and every system of your body can heal and function at a higher level.

Our Holistic Approach to Care

At Ballas Chiropractic and Nutrition Centre, we don’t just look at the area that’s causing you pain—we address your entire body. Our comprehensive approach to healing includes chiropractic adjustments tailored to your specific needs, physical therapy modalities such as ultrasound and electrical stimulation to speed the healing process, rehab exercises and stretches to restore flexibility, strength and stability, and nutritional counseling.

Our chiropractic adjustments are gentle manipulations done by hand to correct the position of the joint and relieve pressure on the nervous system. We also offer instrument-assisted adjustments for patients who prefer those, or who cannot tolerate manual adjustments. Dr. Wipperman will create a care plan specifically to meet your individual needs, preferences and goals.

Using State-of-the-Art Tools

We use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to help us locate any areas of subluxation. We offer on-site X-rays, as well as CLA INSiGHT™ scanning technology. These scans include surface electromyography (sEMG) and thermography assessments to show us where your nervous system is irritated.

Feel Better and Function Better

Patients come to us with a wide variety of issues, from pain to organ dysfunction. We’re often the last resort when nothing else has worked. Our goal is for people to experience the power of chiropractic to unlock their own innate healing potential, so that in the future, we’re the first place they think of, rather than the last.
