Advanced Wellness Chiropractic in Bridgeton is just 12 minutes from University City. Evidence-based chiropractic care for the whole family.
University City, home to the iconic Delmar Loop and Washington University, is a vibrant cultural hub in the St. Louis metro. Residents can reach our Bridgeton office in about 12 minutes via I-170 and I-270. Students, professors, and local residents choose our practice for its evidence-based, personalized approach to chiropractic care.
From University City, take I-170 North to I-270 West, then exit at St. Charles Rock Road. The route is mostly highway driving and takes about 12 minutes. Patients near the Delmar Loop can also take Olive Boulevard west to I-170 as an alternative.

We understand that U City residents expect healthcare grounded in evidence and delivered with transparency. That is exactly how we practice.

Whether you are a Washington University student, a Delmar Loop performer, or a longtime U City resident, you will find a practice that respects your time, values your health, and provides care that actually works.
University City attracts students, academics, and creative professionals. We see U City patients with study-related neck strain, performance injuries from musicians and dancers, and repetitive stress from long hours at a computer. Our whole-body approach fits the wellness-minded U City lifestyle.

University City is one of the most culturally vibrant communities in the St. Louis metro, home to the legendary Delmar Loop entertainment district with its restaurants, boutiques, live music venues, and the St. Louis Walk of Fame. Washington University in St. Louis, one of the nation's top research universities, borders the southern edge of the city and drives much of the intellectual and cultural energy in the area. Heman Park, Ruth Park, and Centennial Commons provide recreational green space for joggers, dog walkers, and families. The neighborhood of Parkview, with its historic homes and tree-lined streets, is a nationally recognized planned residential community. University City's diversity, walkability, and proximity to Forest Park make it one of the most sought-after addresses in the region.
University City's residential character extends well beyond the Delmar Loop entertainment district. Families in the established neighborhoods south of Olive Boulevard and along the Forsyth corridor benefit from walkable streets and proximity to both Washington University's campus and the university-adjacent schools in the University City School District. Graduate students and young professionals often cluster in student housing communities throughout U City, while tree-lined residential streets in neighborhoods like Parkview draw longer-term residents seeking the community's characteristic blend of mature yards and access to multiple small parks within walking distance. Whether you are a Wash U faculty member working long hours at your desk, a family managing kids' schedules between school and Forest Park activities, or a longtime U City resident maintaining a home in these established neighborhoods, chiropractic care tailored to your lifestyle keeps you moving well.
University City residents commonly seek treatment for neck pain and tension headaches caused by extended study sessions, computer work, and grading at Washington University and nearby institutions. Musicians and performing artists from the Delmar Loop scene frequently present with repetitive strain injuries in the hands, wrists, and shoulders. We treat runners and cyclists who use the parks and Forest Park trails for knee pain, hip pain, and plantar fasciitis. Students and younger professionals often develop poor posture habits that lead to upper-back pain and cervical misalignment. Pinched nerves and sciatica are also common among U City residents who sit for long stretches while studying or working from home.
University City patients are drawn to our evidence-based chiropractic adjustments that address the root cause of pain rather than masking symptoms. Our Pin & Stretch Therapy is especially popular with musicians and performing artists dealing with forearm, wrist, and shoulder tension. Shockwave therapy provides breakthrough relief for chronic tendon conditions like Achilles tendinitis and plantar fasciitis in U City's active running community. For students dealing with the physical toll of academic life, our massage therapy and postural correction programs help break the cycle of tension headaches and upper-back pain.
We accept most major insurance plans so University City residents can receive quality chiropractic care without financial stress.

For University City Residents
The most common questions we hear from new patients coming from University City, MO.
Yes. Our Bridgeton office is a 12-minute drive from the Forsyth corridor and Wash U's campus, making it convenient for lunch-hour visits or appointments after your workday ends. Many Wash U faculty and staff schedule regular treatment to manage the postural strain and seated work that comes with academic and administrative roles. We are open Monday through Friday, 9 to 5, and can often see new patients within 24 hours. Your new-patient comprehensive exam is just $49.
Same day or next business day, most of the time. We specialize in pediatric chiropractic for growing children with posture issues and minor sprains from playground and organized sports. For U City families scattered among the various UCSD schools and parks throughout the neighborhoods, our 12-minute drive is faster than many in-city options. Call us at (636) 393-8390 and we will fit your child in quickly. We accept BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare.
We often do. Many of our U City patients come to us after trying other approaches because our combination of chiropractic adjustments, Graston Technique, and shockwave therapy addresses the root cause rather than just managing symptoms. Neck tension from gardening, smartphone use, or posture often responds well to our Pin and Stretch Therapy and targeted soft-tissue work. Schedule a comprehensive exam, $49 for new patients, so we can understand your specific condition and design a plan that actually works.
You will head north on I-170, merge west onto I-270, and exit at St. Charles Rock Road. The key advantage: this route runs opposite to the typical northbound rush-hour jam, so the 12-minute drive is usually faster than you expect, not slower. Many U City commuters who work elsewhere in North County or Bridgeton already use this same corridor, making it a familiar route. Free parking at our office means no hunting for a spot when you arrive.
We accept most major insurance plans including BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare. For students without traditional insurance coverage, we offer affordable self-pay rates and can work with you on payment. The new-patient comprehensive exam is $49 regardless of insurance status. Call (636) 393-8390 to discuss your specific coverage and get scheduled.
Our office is located at 11520 St. Charles Rock Rd, Suite 104, Bridgeton, MO 63044. We are open Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM. Walk-ins are welcome, or call ahead to reserve your preferred time.
