Dr. Erin O’Daniel Cardo
Hi, I’m Dr. Erin!
From a young age, I knew I not only loved to learn but also loved to teach. When I visited a chiropractor as a child, I realized I didn’t have to choose between the two—I could combine my passion for learning and teaching about the body through chiropractic. I attended Chiropractic School at Life University, where I met my husband, Dr. James. After graduation, we moved to New York City to start our own practice, where we worked not only to help people heal physically but also to teach hundreds of moms, children, and families about health and wellness.
​
In May of 2024, I gave birth to my radiant son. Experiencing pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period firsthand deepened my understanding in ways no textbook ever could. These experiences have given me both practical knowledge and a heart-to-heart connection that I pass along to the families I work with every day. My perspective on the body's incredible ability to adapt, heal, and thrive continues to grow, and I bring that insight into every adjustment and conversation at the practice.
​
I’m so excited to be in Texas, supporting families in the DFW metroplex and working with individuals to align their body, mind, and soul. These days, I spend less time rock climbing and reading (though I sneak in audiobooks when I can!) and more time playing with my son, marveling at his growth and how the body learns, moves, and thrives. When I’m not at FOLC, you can find me hiking, traveling, cooking, paddleboarding, and enjoying time with my friends and family—along with our two snuggly dogs!
Dr. James Cardo
Hi, I’m Dr. James. As the youngest of 7 children, I have had the blessing of watching my family grow. As a young child watching my siblings from the sidelines, it has always been my passion to see others thrive. I grew up marveling God’s creations and imagining what we, collectively, are truly capable of being. It is my joy to work alongside people who are genuinely seeking to become an amazing version of themselves. Using my background in psychology, nutrition, and exercise science, I am able to envision entire beings and address concerns from many different angles. I believe humans are amazing beings, capable of phenomenal things with just a little guidance.
​
Beyond FOLC, I own The Mats Academy, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school, where I teach both kids and adults how to move, defend, and challenge themselves in new ways. I’m also the best dad ever (just ask my son!). Fatherhood has given me a whole new appreciation for growth, learning, and play. These days, when I’m not adjusting, rolling on the mats, or diving into my usual stack of 4+ books, you’ll find me on adventures with my family, embracing the beauty of life, movement, and connection.
