PRECISE CARE
With a Gentle Touch
Thank you for visiting the website of Advanced Chiropractic and Acupuncture - Waukee located at 1218 SE University Avenue in Waukee, IA. We understand how important it is to choose a chiropractor that is right for you. It is our belief that educating our patients is a very important part of the success we see in our office.
Most people think that a chiropractor pops, cracks or snaps back pain away, but there is so much more to the profession. In 1895 the first chiropractic adjustment was delivered to a man that had lost the ability to hear in one of his ears. Following an adjustment to his spine, the man explained that his hearing had been restored. While this is not the most common result of chiropractic care it is an example of one of the many conditions chiropractic care has helped over the last century.
Chiropractic is a type of health care that works with the nervous system as well as the musculoskeletal system. Doctors of chiropractic are trained to diagnose and treat injuries and disorders that involve the nervous system, muscles, and bones. Chiropractors in Waukee IA work directly with the spine to remove any interference that may be preventing the body to heal itself and restoring natural processes within the body.
Chiropractic is not limited to people suffering from back pain in Waukee. There is a myriad of different conditions that chiropractic care has been shown to be helpful for. At Advanced Chiropractic and Acupuncture - Waukee, we have a large number of patients that see us as a part of their wellness lifestyle. Receiving regular chiropractic adjustments can help the body function at its optimal potential.

Our team works directly with the spine to remove any interference that may be preventing the body to heal itself and restoring natural processes within the body.
Like all other areas in health care, new patients will undergo a consultation that involves reviewing past and current health conditions, medications, and surgeries as well as a physical examination. Once this process is completed our team will use all of the information to establish a diagnosis and create an individualized treatment plan.

Chiropractic scientifically explained
Chiropractic care, in scientific terms, involves manual adjustments that impact the musculoskeletal system by helping relieve pain and improve joint mobility.
The musculoskeletal system includes muscles, ligaments, joints, joint capsules, and nearby fascia. In addition to physical relief, chiropractic also influences the autonomic nervous system by decreasing sympathetic activity (commonly known as the fight-or-flight response) and enhancing parasympathetic function (the rest-and-repair mode).
This occurs due to the impact adjustments have on joint capsules and the body’s proprioceptive system—the internal sense of position and movement. Mechanoreceptors in and around the joints detect these changes and help regulate the nervous system’s response through periarticular tissues.
