2️⃣Working Diagnosis:
Based on assessment, chiropractors develop a working diagnosis.

3️⃣Management Plan:
A tailored management plan is created to address the patient's specific needs.

4️⃣Treatment Initiation:
Chiropractors start manual treatments, ranging from stretching to specific joint manipulations.

5️⃣Monitoring Progress:
Patient progress is closely monitored throughout the treatment.

What is the purpose of a care plan?

This is a common, yet important question. The purpose of a care plan is to correct dysfunction in the spine and to improve health. It is often the case that pain is the LAST symptom to appear when there is dysfunction in the spine. The things that sometimes precede pain (muscle tightness, movement restrictions, postural changes) are able to be identified by a Chiropractor, but not always by a patient...

A care plan has different stages and is based on factors like exam findings and imaging (X-rays, MRI). A care plan is a unique plan designed for YOU to improve YOUR health. Each stage of a care plan has its own treatment methods that are intended to reach a certain health goal. Once the goal has been met, you will begin the next phase of the plan and continue until the next goal is reached. At Bower Chiropractic and Wellness, we use care plans to correct the root cause of the dysfunction in the spine, rather than JUST treat the effects of this dysfunction. By doing so, we can prevent problems from re-emerging, we are able to identify and correct developing dysfunction, and we can enable the patient to live with more optimized health...

As the weather is getting better, many people will return to training outdoors. Let us help you optimize your training and avoid injury!

Being able to enjoy a run or walk has too many health benefits to count. Let's see how Chiropractic care can benefit runners and walkers:

Having proper range of motion (ROM) in the spine and the lower extremities is important for runners and walkers. Having the necessary ROM allows us to run and walk properly and functionally. However, its common for runners and/or walkers to have some decrease in ROM, which can take away some of our ability to walk and run easily and without pain.

There are many factors that may lead to a decrease in the motion of a joint, especially for runners. These could include a tight muscle group, a previous injury, or the joint itself. Also, it is important to note that improper movement of a joint can affect other joints in the body as well, especially the spine.

After thorough examination, a chiropractor can determine which joints are moving properly and which ones are not. By finding joint restrictions and correcting them using an adjustment, Chiropractic care can restore motion and allow for runners and walkers to move functionally, properly, and without pain. We love working with runners, walkers, athletes, and active people! Let us help you continue to enjoy staying active!

Everyone has very busy lives, and, unfortunately, busy schedules can sometimes be a barrier to receiving Chiropractic care, even when dealing with severe pain. Whether its working odd hours to having a short lunch break to getting home on time to pick up your children from school, our daily activities often restrict us from going out of our way to work on our health.

At Bower Chiropractic and Wellness, we don't want a busy schedule to stand in the way of improving your health. In addition to our normal office hours, we are also available on the weekend by appointment. Additionally, our scheduling is flexible. If you need Chiropractic care and our office hours don't work for you, reach out for more information about scheduling outside of office hours!

Don't let your busy schedule prevent you from receiving the Chiropractic care that you need. Contact Bower Chiropractic and Wellness today!

Seems pretty relevant right about now!

❄️ If you live in Iowa, you know what its like. ❄️

Many New Year's Resolutions often revolve around health. Whether it is to exercise more or to eat a better diet, health-centered goals are great ideas for the upcoming year.

Usually, when someone makes a resolution, they are very motivated initially to work towards it. However, motivation often quickly wanes and the goals are left un-met. Having a plan may increase your chances of successfully accomplishing your resolutions.

If your goal for this year is to feel better and have optimized health, let Bower Chiropractic and Wellness help you reach your health objectives! We create customized care plans that are unique to you and will help you persevere to meet your goals even during times of low motivation.

Happy Thanksgiving from Bower Chiropractic and Wellness. The office will be closed tomorrow, and will be open on Friday from 9am-1pm. Enjoy the holiday!

Getting adjusted is important even if you don't currently have back pain. Here's why!

Pain is often the last symptom to emerge from spinal dysfunction. It may be preceded by things like muscle tightness, postural changes, and dysfunctional movement.

These processes may be occurring even without the presence of pain. This is why its important to be examined by a Doctor of Chiropractic and to have these issues addressed before they become painful.

You don't have to be in pain to receive Chiropractic care! If you would like to schedule an appointment, we would be happy to help you at Bower Chiropractic and Wellness!

What could you do if you didn’t have pain? What would you be doing if you weren’t at the chiropractor’s office?

Discussing your motivations for seeking Chiropractic care is our priority at Bower Chiropractic and Wellness. Yes, pain is often a motivator, but what effect does pain have in your life?

Does it stop you from playing with your kids or grandkids? Does it prevent you from enjoying the nice weather? Does it hold you back from performing your best while at work?

Figuring out the reason for seeking care is crucial to creating an individualized CARE PLAN. We want you to feel better and experience the vast benefits of Chiropractic care, but we also want to ensure that you are able to perform your daily activities with greater ease and without pain. By creating a care plan designed for YOU, you can spend less time at the chiropractor and more time doing what you love!

Bower Chiropractic and Wellness We are a family wellness based chiropractic practice focused on providing care to the Ankeny Iowa co

Chiropractic focuses on fixing the root cause of the problem, not just masking symptoms. Pain will not always show exactly where the problem is, and this is why an examination is important and why Chiropractic care is so great for whole-body health!

Pain doesn’t always show us the source of the problem. In many cases, pain is actually the LAST way our body tells us something is wrong!

This is why we do a thorough exam when you come to our office. We want to make sure we understand why something is painful, so that we can help you as effectively as possible.

All parts of your body are related to one another, so we adjust more than just the painful part of your body to make sure we are addressing the cause of your pain.

Busy schedule? We are open on the weekend by appointment! Reach out to schedule!

Great first meeting with Ankeny Young Professionals at Blue Bean this morning. Meeting new professionals around Ankeny is always a great experience!
