📣 Big News at Optimum Chiropractic — Please Join Us in Welcoming Dr. Todd Hubbard!
 
Today marks a full-circle moment for our team.
We’re excited to officially welcome Dr. Todd Hubbard to Optimum Chiropractic—a chiropractor, educator, and mentor who helped shape the care we deliver today. Years ago, he trained both Dr. Derek and myself during our time at Palmer College. His influence has been part of our foundation from the very beginning.
Now, as our practice grows, we’re honored to have him on our team—not just as a mentor, but as a colleague. With decades of clinical experience and a deep understanding of neurologically-based care, Dr. Hubbard brings even more strength to the way we serve our patients.
 
He also brings a powerful personal story.
 
Dr. Hubbard is recently cancer-free after a successful battle with leukemia. As part of his recovery, he underwent a stem cell transplant, which required his immune system to be completely rebuilt. While he’s doing well and regaining strength, he remains immunocompromised during this next phase. Because of this, you may see him wearing a mask around the office at times or our team may ask patients with active/acute illness to wear a mask as a precaution against common respiratory illnesses, which is the biggest risk he currently faces. 
 
At Optimum Chiropractic, we’ve always believed that true care extends beyond our patients—it defines how we show up for each other. Welcoming Dr. Hubbard is a reminder of that philosophy in action. Our goal is to ensure he has everything he needs to thrive in this next chapter, just as he’s helped countless others do throughout his career. We’re proud to work alongside him—not just as colleagues, but as partners united by a shared purpose: delivering exceptional, compassionate care to every person who walks through our doors.
 
Please join us in welcoming Dr. Todd Hubbard. He’s not new to this work—he’s helped shape it. And we’re proud to have him on the journey with us.
 
– Dr. Brett

In traditional medicine, the most common responses to musculoskeletal pain are:
1. “Let’s wait and see.”
2. “Take these anti-inflammatories.”
3. “Maybe surgery down the road.”
But when did waiting become a plan?
And when did masking pain become acceptable care?
At Optimum Chiropractic, we believe in a more proactive, empowering approach.
Through neurologically-centered chiropractic care, decompression therapy, and
individualized plans, we help you:
• Address the root of your pain
• Restore mobility and function
• Avoid invasive procedures
• Regain control over your health journey
You don’t have to settle for “watch and wait.”
You can choose action—and results.
If you’re tired of temporary answers, let’s talk.

Musculoskeletal issues account for millions of primary care visits every year.

And yet—many providers aren’t equipped to handle the root cause.

That’s why it’s essential that any healthcare provider treating these conditions must be able to:

1. Understand key principles of musculoskeletal health
2. Recognize urgent or emergency conditions
3. Perform thorough orthopedic and neurological exams
4. Design and manage personalized treatment plans

Who’s trained in all of this—and more? Chiropractors.

It’s no surprise that over 35 million Americans choose chiropractic care as their trusted, first-line solution for musculoskeletal complaints—far beyond just spinal care.

📍 In Des Moines, that’s exactly what we do at Optimum Chiropractic: We focus on natural, neurologically-driven solutions that get to the root and help you feel like yourself again.

Do you feel persistent tingling or numbness in your hands or feet? Dealing with unexplained muscle weakness, sharp burning pain, or balance problems? We understand how scary or frustrating these sensations can be – and you’re not alone. These can all be early warning signs of neuropathy (nerve damage).

You might be tempted to shrug it off, but it’s important to listen to your body. If these signs sound familiar, consider reaching out to a healthcare provider or scheduling a consultation. Early intervention can make a big difference in managing neuropathy. And remember, you don’t have to face this alone – help and support are available. 💙

💡 Is Your Pain Trying to Tell You Something? 💡

Back and neck pain don’t just happen out of nowhere—your body is sending you a message. Ignoring those little aches and stiffness today could lead to bigger, long-term issues tomorrow.

🛑 What happens when you don’t take action?

Poor posture can lock in bad movement patterns, leading to chronic pain.
Spinal misalignment can disrupt nerve function, affecting more than just your back.
Disc issues can progress, leading to more pain, numbness, or even loss of mobility.
👉 The good news? You don’t have to wait for things to get worse. Chiropractic adjustments and decompression therapy help restore alignment, relieve pressure, and get you moving pain-free again.

🎯 Are you listening to your body? If you’re feeling tension, stiffness, or discomfort, now is the time to take action.

📅 Book an appointment today and start feeling better!
