About Our St. Charles Chiropractic Office
ADIO Family Chiropractic has been a trusted part of the St. Charles, MO, community for more than 26 years. Dr. David Wallace (Dr. Dave) founded our practice to help every member of the family heal naturally through effective chiropractic care and wellness education. We use a natural, drug-free approach to find the source of your pain and correct it, so you can feel better and stay healthier for life.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: to educate and adjust as many families as possible back to optimal health through natural chiropractic care.
Our Story
When Dr. Dave opened ADIO Family Chiropractic, he set out to create a place where entire families could receive gentle, effective care in a warm and welcoming setting. More than two decades later, we still treat every patient, or practice member, like part of our extended family. Our office walls are filled with children’s artwork, family photos, and before-and-after X-rays that show the real transformations our patients have experienced. See it for yourself on our office tour, and learn more about Dr. Dave’s background on our Meet the Doctor page.
Committed to Chiropractic Education
Relieving your pain and restoring your range of motion is only the beginning. At every visit, we teach you about the link between spinal alignment, your nervous system, and the vitality of your entire body. The more you understand, the better equipped you are to keep living pain-free long after your care plan ends. That education extends to practical guidance through our lifestyle advice, corrective exercises, and nutritional consultations.
Why ADIO Family Chiropractic? What Does ADIO Mean?
Many people ask what “ADIO” means. It stands for Above, Down, Inside and Out. ADIO means you heal from Above (from God, or the Great Spirit Above), Down (to the body), and from Inside (from your nervous system), Out (to every part of the body). It is a holistic healing philosophy that addresses the whole person rather than just the symptoms of an illness, creating balance by recognizing the connection between physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health.
A Highway to Holistic Healing
Chiropractic care is built on the belief that the body has a natural ability to heal. For your body to function at its best, your nervous system, the communication highway for that healing, must be free from interference. Your spine protects your nervous system. When vertebrae shift out of alignment, the body can experience pain, dysfunction, and illness. Only by removing these interferences, known as subluxations, can the nervous system and body function optimally.
At ADIO Family Chiropractic, we assess your nervous system, look for the root cause of your pain or symptoms, and create a personalized plan to help you feel better and heal better.
Gentle Care for the Whole Family
Dr. Dave’s techniques are known for being very gentle. He uses a drop table and an activator to deliver precise adjustments without twisting the body. This makes our chiropractic care comfortable for everyone, including children through our pediatric chiropractic program and expecting moms through our pregnancy chiropractic care. We also offer spinal screenings and physiotherapy.
Conditions We Help With
Our practice members come to us for relief from back pain, neck pain, headaches and migraines, sciatica, and posture-related pain, as well as for ongoing wellness care. Read what they have to say on our testimonials page, or discover why families choose us.
