Mid Iowa Chiropractic, Greg Pray, D.C.

Mid Iowa Chiropractic, Greg Pray, D.C. We specialize in back, neck and sciatica pain as well as headaches, training injuries, and more. We Our promise to you is honesty. If we can help you, we will.

At Mid Iowa Chiropractic we pride ourselves in meeting your goals and expectations, not on how many patients we can cram into an hour. Dr. Greg Pray trusts in taking time to discuss your history, and performing a thorough orthopedic and neurological evaluation to determine the CAUSE of your complaint, and address all of the involved components in a treatment plan fitted specifically to you. We utilize the chiropractic adjustment to promote a speedy recovery and for you to function at your best, but there is often a ‘soft-tissue’ component (muscle, ligament, etc…) which we address to quickly get you back to living your life to the fullest. Treatment plans vary, but significant improvement is usually seen within four to six treatments. Some of our patients see improvement after just one or two treatments, while some others require a longer time frame. If your problem lies outside of the scope of chiropractic, we will refer you to a professional who can help you. Whether you have suffered a training or sports injury, ‘tweaked something’ while moving a couch or working in the garden, need to be physically at your best for competition or at work, or are striving for a more active and fulfilling life, Mid Iowa Chiropractic and Dr. Greg Pray can help you get to where you want to be.

More important that getting 10,000 steps is getting more steps than you had yesterday or last month. You'll get more benefit going from 1,000 steps to 3,000 steps than from 9k to 10k. Get going! It doesn't have to be perfect!

Taking more steps per day was associated with a progressively lower risk of all-cause mortality, up to a level that varied by age. The findings from this meta-analysis can be used to inform step guidelines for public health promotion of physical activity.
