Chiropractic Adjustments
Our Gonstead Technique adjustments precisely correct spinal misalignments causing nerve interference. Through detailed analysis using X-rays and thermal scans, we identify problematic vertebrae and apply specific, gentle corrections. Patients experience reduced pain, improved mobility, and enhanced nervous system function as pressure on nerves is relieved. This drug-free approach addresses conditions ranging from back pain to digestive issues.
Pediatric Chiropractic
Gentle chiropractic care for infants and children addresses birth trauma, developmental issues, and sports injuries. Our doctors use fingertip pressure for safe adjustments that improve sleep patterns, resolve feeding difficulties, and enhance immune function. Parents report reduced ear infections, better behavior, and improved athletic performance in active children receiving regular care.
Craniosacral Therapy
Combining cranial bone manipulation with myofascial release, this hands-on therapy restores fluid movement in connective tissues. By addressing restrictions from birth trauma or injuries, we alleviate symptoms like migraines, sinus issues, and musculoskeletal pain. The treatment benefits all ages, particularly infants with feeding difficulties and adults with chronic tension patterns.
Sports Chiropractic
Specialized care for athletes maintains peak performance through injury prevention and rapid recovery. As official chiropractors for University of Northern Iowa teams, we treat sprains, improve joint mobility, and enhance nervous system efficiency. Regular adjustments help athletes achieve better coordination, faster reaction times, and reduced downtime from sports-related injuries.
Gonstead Technique
This gold-standard method combines biomechanical assessment with precision adjustments. Using instrumentation, static/dynamic palpation, and full-spine X-rays, we identify exact misalignments affecting nerve function. Targeted adjustments restore proper spinal mechanics, allowing the body to self-correct conditions from sciatica to organ dysfunction without invasive interventions.
