One Practice for Every Member of Your Family
Your family doesn't fit one mold — your chiropractic care shouldn't either. At What's Next Chiropractic, Dr. Jared and Dr. Kailey Kennedy bring two distinct specialties together under one roof so every person in your household gets the right care from the right provider, without the hassle of managing multiple practices.
Why Families in Waterloo Choose What's Next
Finding a family chiropractor in Waterloo, IA who can genuinely serve every member of your household — from a newborn to a competitive athlete — is harder than it sounds. Most practices are built around one type of care. We're built around your whole family.
Here's what that looks like in practice:
- Dr. Kailey specializes in pediatric care, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and nervous system health — serving your youngest family members and expecting or new moms with techniques designed specifically for them.
- Dr. Jared focuses on movement restoration, pain relief, sports performance, and rehabilitation — helping active adults, working parents, and athletes stay functional and out of pain.
- Both providers work in the same space, coordinate when it makes sense, and share a single scheduling system so booking for multiple family members is straightforward.
- Instrument-based adjusting is available for children and anyone who prefers a gentler approach, making care accessible even for patients who've been hesitant about traditional chiropractic.
Whether you're a household of two or five, you won't need to explain your family's history to a new practice every time a different need comes up. We already know you.
What Makes Our Family Care Different
Chiropractic care for all ages requires more than a general willingness to see different patients. It requires the right training, the right tools, and providers who have genuinely built their practices around specific populations.
- Dr. Kailey holds a December 2024 doctorate from Northwestern Health Sciences University, with focused training in pediatric and pregnancy care — including Webster Technique certification.
- Dr. Jared brings specialized training in movement-based and rehabilitative chiropractic, serving athletes and active adults with a clinical, outcome-focused approach.
- Objective nervous system scanning (surface EMG, thermal, and muscle tension) is available for pediatric and wellness patients — making Dr. Kailey one of only two providers in the Cedar Valley offering this level of assessment.
- Instrument-based adjusting means even the most hesitant patients — including infants, toddlers, and adults who've had negative experiences elsewhere — can receive effective, comfortable care.
- We opened in January 2025 with intention: to be the practice Cedar Valley families don't have to outgrow.
Start with a $45 Nervous System Scan
Not sure where to begin? The $45 Nervous System Scan is a low-commitment starting point — especially valuable for pediatric patients, expecting moms, or anyone who wants objective data before committing to a care plan. Dr. Kailey uses surface EMG, thermal scanning, and muscle tension assessment to give you a clear picture of how your nervous system is functioning right now.
There's no obligation to continue after the scan. It's simply information — and for many families, it's the clearest first step.

Care for Every Stage of Life Under One Roof
For Kids and Infants
Dr. Kailey uses gentle, instrument-based adjusting techniques designed for small bodies and developing nervous systems. Pediatric chiropractic care at What's Next focuses on supporting healthy growth, addressing tension patterns that can show up early in life, and giving parents objective information about their child's nervous system health through surface EMG and thermal scanning — the kind of data most practices in the Cedar Valley simply can't provide.
For Expecting and Postpartum Moms
Dr. Kailey is Webster Technique certified, one of only a small number of providers in the area trained in this specific approach to pregnancy care. Webster Technique supports pelvic alignment and nervous system function throughout pregnancy, and care continues postpartum as your body recovers and rebalances. If you're already a patient and you're expecting, you don't need to find someone new — we've got you.
For Active Adults and Athletes
Dr. Jared works with adults who want to move better, recover faster, and stay ahead of pain rather than chase it. Whether you're dealing with a nagging injury, trying to get back to the gym, or training for something competitive, his approach is movement-based and rehab-informed — focused on getting you functional, not just adjusted.
For the Whole Household
Family care at What's Next means your family has one practice, one scheduling system, and two providers who communicate. When your child needs a check-in, your partner needs a sports adjustment, and you're navigating postpartum recovery, you're not coordinating three separate offices. You're making one call.
Common Questions About Family Chiropractic Care
Can one chiropractic practice really serve both my infant and my athletic spouse?
Yes — and that's exactly what we're designed for. Dr. Kailey specializes in pediatric, pregnancy, and nervous system care, while Dr. Jared focuses on movement, sports, and pain relief for active adults. Both providers work under the same roof with shared scheduling, so your family isn't split between two practices.Is chiropractic care safe for infants and young children?
Yes, when performed by a provider trained in pediatric techniques. Dr. Kailey uses gentle, instrument-based adjusting specifically suited to infants and children. The force used is a fraction of what's applied to adults, and the goal is supporting healthy nervous system development — not the kind of adjustment most adults picture.What is the $45 Nervous System Scan and who is it for?
It's an objective assessment using surface EMG, thermal scanning, and muscle tension measurement to evaluate how your nervous system is functioning. It's particularly useful for pediatric patients, pregnant women, and anyone starting care who wants data before committing to a plan. Dr. Kailey is one of only two providers in the Cedar Valley offering this type of scanning.Do I need a referral to bring my child or family member in?
No referral is needed. You can book directly through our online scheduling system, call us at (319) 380-4800, or email whatsnextchiropractic@gmail.com to get started.What is the New Patient Special for families?
New patients at What's Next Chiropractic can receive $50 off their first appointment. If multiple family members are starting care, each qualifies individually. It's our way of making it easier for households to get started without a large upfront commitment.How is family chiropractic care in Waterloo, Iowa different at What's Next compared to a general practice?
Most general practices see a broad range of patients without deep specialization in any one area. At What's Next, both providers have focused training — Dr. Kailey in pediatric, pregnancy, and nervous system care, and Dr. Jared in movement and sports rehabilitation. That means every family member is seen by someone whose training matches their specific needs, not a generalist doing their best across the board.
