Our office, located in Clive, near Des Moines & West Des Moines. We are located on University Ave. across from Valley West Mall in the Indian Hills Shopping Center.
-
Our CA will be the person you speak with on the phone to schedule your appointment, and she will be the first smiling face you see when you come in for your first visit. She also handles billing and any administrative questions you may have.
-
Our staff will take you on a short tour of the office so you are comfortable knowing where drinks, restrooms, and children’s play areas are located.
-
We offer a parent’s room for feeding and changing infants for busy moms and dads on their way to or from work.
-
After you have seen the office, Dr. Kellie will sit down with you to discuss your current health and goals.
-
You will receive a full exam, including vitals. Many patients use Dr. Kellie as a primary care provider, and parents often choose to have their student’s sports physical done at Iowa Family Chiropractic.
-
Orthopedic exams are often used to conclude spinal misalignments and disc herniation, as well as sprains and strains of ligaments and muscles.
-
You will have a surface EMG scan of your neck and back to see where you are out of balance; you will then be re-scanned on a regular basis to confirm improvement.
-
If x-rays are necessary, you will have the convenience of having them taken in the office. This will conclude your first visit, and you will be asked to either return later in the day, or the following day. Dr. Kellie requests a period of time to review all of your healthy history, exam, and x-ray information.
-
On your second visit, you will check in with our CA and have a seat. Though we never keep you waiting long, we offer healthy reading materials and coffee, tea and water.
-
On your second visit Dr. Kellie will meet with you to discuss her report of findings and her recommendation for care.
-
If x-rays were taken, the doctor will point out relevant findings and where we look to see improvement. After the report of findings has concluded, you will receive your first adjustment.
-
Dr. Kellie uses many adjusting techniques, and will work with you to find the technique that best suits you. Patients are able to receive both manual and instrument-assisted adjustments.
-
Chiropractic adjustments are never forceful, always gentle. Dr. Kellie also cares for many children, starting at only hours after birth. Chiropractic care is safe and effective for kids of all ages.
-
Patients often benefit from kinesio tape, which helps to support the adjustment in the early stages of symptomatic care.
-
Muscle stimulation may be used as a therapy to help reduce muscle spasm and hold the adjustment.
-
Therapies such as ultrasound may also be used to decrease swelling and speed healing. Many athletes benefit from this modality when applied to shoulders, knees and ankles for muscular and ligamentous injuries.
-
Once it is determined which muscles of the body are tight or weak, you will be shown specific stretches and exercises to do at home in order to bring your body back to balance.
