Regional meet today. 🤼‍♀️
Last guaranteed meet, but we’ve got a feeling we’ll still be seeing these girls compete next week at state. 💪

Proud of the work y’all put in behind the scenes—Lauren, Briar, Sloane & Payson. 🫰

Good luck to this group as they get to compete for their chance at state today. You know what to do. Go get it done. 🏆

“Hey, do you take my insurance?”

Insurance isn’t designed to get you better —
it’s designed to manage cost.

When care is dictated by a third party, the patient stops being the priority.
That’s why we do things differently.

Real time.
Real conversations.
Real plans.

What’s the biggest frustration you’ve had with healthcare?

If you feel like you’ve been to several providers and haven’t found what you’re looking for, send us a message. I’ll bet we can help. 🤝

Book. The. Trip.

Life is short. Way shorter than you realize. Sometimes even shorter than that.

2026: the year we’re ALL taking advantage of living our BEST and HEALTHIEST lives. Want to know the secret?

It starts with doing things for yourself.
Still reminiscing over this absolutely incredible trip.

Did you miss us? Because we missed YOU.
We are BACK in office after a refreshing trip away to the UK. ✅

We know it’s been a LONG week without us, and we can’t wait to see you today and tomorrow. All day. Give us a call, send us a message, drop by. See you all soon!

*extending our sincerest apologies to those of you who tried to call or message us this past week. We had good intentions to get to all messages, but due to our messaging system requiring a code sent to my personal cell phone, I was unable to receive the message while out of the country, and therefore couldn’t log in.

We will be working through all of these missed calls and messages this morning—look out for a message from us!

OUT OF OFFICE 🇬🇧

SEE YOU NEXT WEEK 🤝

01/14/2026

We take care pretty seriously here. We also take energy drinks pretty seriously. ⚡️

The new Cherry Bomb Alani got an in-office taste test today with one of our athletes helping us with a review. Shoutout to Kaelyn for being a good sport and participating 😂

One of us really liked it—the other did not finish it 😶 y’all can still sponsor us though

Let us know if you wanna see more content like this—the rest of their lineup HITS and at least one of us is caffeine-dependent. 😅

01/11/2026

Here’s your friendly reminder about our office updates these next couple weeks:

Dr. Dilan will be out of office Thursday (1/15) to Wednesday (1/21) with family for vacation. 🇬🇧

Consider this your sign to book your appointments for Monday & Tuesday this week BEFORE something pops up while the office is closed. We promise your body will thank you for doing so. See you soon. 😎

Text or call us at 319-232-5202, or shoot us a message here. 📲

Athlete Spotlight: Dechlan ⚽️

Elite soccer isn’t built in highlights — it’s built in environments.

Dechlan competes at a high level with FK enVision and Iowa ODP, most recently traveling to Phoenix for the Far West Championships, where his squad battled all the way to the semifinals, falling in a penalty shootout to… another Iowa ODP team. That’s how deep the level is.

What stands out most isn’t just the skill — it’s the consistency, composure, and work ethic required to perform against top competition, tournament after tournament, travel after travel.

Next up, we’re headed to the UK to catch the Manchester Derby — because exposure, inspiration, and loving the game matter just as much as training.
(And yes, his love for soccer cards pulled me right back into the hobby too.)

Proud to watch this journey unfold.
Elite development is a long game — and he’s right where he needs to be.

Waiting for pain is expensive.

Not just financially —
but in time, energy, confidence, and options.

Your body adapts quietly.
It compensates.
It keeps you moving.

Until it can’t.

Health works best when it’s proactive, not reactive.
Pain isn’t the starting line — it’s the warning light.

If you’re tired of putting it off,
we should probably talk.

01/07/2026

Most people don’t ignore their health.
They just keep putting it last.

If coffee, convenience, clothes, or “quick fixes”
got more investment in 2025 than your body…
that’s not a discipline problem.

That’s a guidance problem.

You don’t need another rule.
You need a smarter, simpler plan.

If this hit a nerve—good.
That’s usually where change starts.

Let’s have a chat. DM “2026” to get started. 🥳

Words matter in healthcare.

When people are told they’re broken, fragile, or doomed by imaging findings, outcomes suffer.

We see it every week:
• ‘Don’t lift more than 10 lbs’
• ‘It’s just degeneration’
• ‘You’ll have to live with it’
• ‘Stop playing sports’
• ‘This is the worst x/y/z I’ve ever seen’

As doctors of chiropractic, our job isn’t to dismiss pain — it’s to restore confidence, capacity, and function.

Different approach. Different results.

This isn’t anti-medicine — it’s anti-fear.
If you’ve ever been made to feel broken by a diagnosis, this is for you.

What a successful 2026 actually looks like.

Not resolutions.
Not motivation that fades once you get busy.
Not doing random stuff hoping it adds up.

Here’s the game plan, laid out for you. 👇👇

It’s:
1️⃣ Taking recovery seriously.
2️⃣ Treating nutrition and hydration like they matter — because they do. Way more than you think.
3️⃣ Being intentional daily, not perfect occasionally.
4️⃣ Choosing consistency over intensity.
5️⃣ Raising your standards for yourself. Goals, performance, expectations. All of it. It starts here.

This isn’t about doing “everything” you set as goals.
This is about doing the *right things*, repeatedly. To stack up good choices that pay off exponentially.

Do you want 2026 to be your year? Or just another year.. probably just like last year. And the year before.

If you want 2026 to be different,
your inputs have to be different.

This is the standard we’re committing to.
Train hard. Recover smart. Repeat.

Want to be the best version of yourself?
DM 2026 or comment and let’s get to work.
