We’re not your “typical” chiropractor… and we’re okay with that. 😄

Our office is full of kids.
There’s laughter.
There’s energy.
And yes… sometimes a little chaos.

We like to have fun.

But don’t let that fool you — we take your care very seriously.

We don’t guess.
We don’t do cookie-cutter care.
We use objective findings and real data to understand exactly what’s going on with your nervous system.

Because your family deserves more than just temporary relief — you deserve answers and a clear plan.

So while it may not feel “stuffy” or clinical when you walk in…

You can trust that behind the scenes, everything we do is intentional, specific, and built around getting the best results possible.

Fun environment.
Serious results. 💙

You really never know what you’re going to walk into at our office… 😂

One minute it’s adjustments and scans…
the next minute… there’s a baby goat hanging out 🐐

Kids are laughing.
Parents are confused.
And somehow it just becomes part of the day.

We like to keep things a little different around here.

Because healing doesn’t have to feel cold or clinical — it can be fun, welcoming, and full of surprises.

So if you ever walk in and see something unexpected…
just roll with it 😄

Dads don’t always say much… but they’re always watching. 💙

They’re the ones noticing the meltdowns getting worse.
The ones staying up late researching.
The ones quietly worrying about their child’s future.

And a lot of the time… they’re the unsung heroes in the background.

Showing up to appointments.
Asking the hard questions.
Doing whatever it takes to help their kid.

We see you.

And we’re here to support you too.

Because when a child is struggling with focus, emotions, or anxiety — it impacts the whole family.

Inside our care, dads aren’t on the sidelines.
They’re part of the plan. Part of the progress. Part of the wins.

And those moments — when things finally start to click for their child?

You can see it all over their face.

To all the dads showing up every day, even when it’s hard… we’ve got your back. 💪

It’s Monday… and Charlotte is feeling it 😴☕️

You know that “I need one more coffee before I can even form a sentence” kind of tired? Yeah… that’s the vibe today.

BUT — even on low battery, she’s still showing up and putting in the work 💪

Helping kids.
Supporting families.
Changing lives… just with slightly heavier eyelids today 😂

Proof that you don’t have to feel 100% to give 100%.

Let’s hear it for the Monday grind (and maybe a second… or third coffee) ☕️🔥
of course not for charlotte!

Pregnancy is an incredible journey… but it’s not always easy. 💙

Your body is changing.
Your sleep is different.
There’s pressure, tension, and a lot of unknowns.

And through it all — you’re doing everything you can to support your baby.

What many moms don’t realize is how important nervous system support is during this time.

When your body is more balanced and regulated…
You can often experience:
✨ Less tension and discomfort
✨ Better sleep
✨ A smoother, more connected pregnancy

And that support doesn’t just help mom —
it helps create the best possible environment for baby, too.

After baby arrives, that same focus continues…

Supporting their little nervous system as they adapt to the world — helping with things like sleep, digestion, and overall comfort.

It’s never just about one person.

It’s about caring for both mom and baby — every step of the way. 🤍

One mom shared this with us recently…

“My son was really struggling in school.

His teacher kept mentioning focus issues.
He was falling behind.
And every day after school, he was frustrated and overwhelmed.

Homework turned into battles.
Simple tasks felt impossible.
And his confidence was starting to slip.

As a parent, that’s heartbreaking to watch.

We felt like we were trying everything… but nothing was really changing.

That’s when we decided to look deeper.

Through the Mood Regulation Blueprint, we started to understand how his nervous system was handling stress — and for the first time, things actually made sense.

Over time, we started noticing changes.

He was able to focus longer.
He wasn’t getting as overwhelmed.
School became less of a struggle.

But the biggest thing?

He started believing in himself again.

That’s the kind of change that matters most.” 💙

Central Iowa moms —

If you’re exhausted trying everything for your child’s ADHD, anxiety, or behavior… and nothing is actually fixing it, you’re not alone.

You’ve tried the routines.
The charts.
The advice.

And you’re still dealing with meltdowns, emotional swings, focus issues… and constant stress.

At some point, you have to ask:

Why isn’t this working?

Because this isn’t just behavior.

It’s how your child’s nervous system is functioning.

And if that’s not addressed — nothing else will stick.

That’s why we created the Mood Regulation Blueprint — a step-by-step process to actually understand what’s going on and help your child regulate and adapt.

If your child can’t seem to control their emotions… this might not be what you think.

The meltdowns.
The big reactions.
Going from 0 to 100 in seconds.

It’s easy to label it as behavior.

But many times… it’s actually a nervous system that’s overwhelmed.

When a child’s brain is stuck in stress mode, it becomes incredibly hard to regulate emotions, handle transitions, or stay calm under pressure.

That’s where we come in.

Through our Mood Regulation Blueprint, we focus on understanding how your child’s nervous system is functioning — not just managing the behaviors you see.

We start with detailed testing and scans to get real answers.
Then we create a personalized plan to help their system regulate and adapt more effectively.

Because when the nervous system begins to calm…
Emotions start to follow.

Fewer meltdowns.
Faster recovery.
More consistency.

And a child who feels more in control of their world.

Families are getting answers.
Kids are finally starting to regulate.
And homes that once felt chaotic are becoming calm again.

Every day, we’re seeing kids who struggled with focus, emotions, sensory challenges, and sleep begin to function differently — not because we’re chasing symptoms…

But because we’re focusing on the nervous system.

Parents are feeling more confident.
Kids are feeling more in control.
And our communities are becoming healthier because of it.

This is why we do what we do.

Adel and Ames — we’re just getting started. 🚀
