Care Options for Every Stage of Life

Chiropractic and Sports Care with Dr. Jared

Dr. Jared works with active adults and athletes who want to do more than just manage pain — they want to move well, recover faster, and get back to the things they love. His approach combines hands-on adjusting, movement-based rehab, and sport-specific strategies to address the root cause of what's holding you back.

Pregnancy and Postpartum Care with Dr. Kailey

Pregnancy changes everything about how your body moves and holds tension. Dr. Kailey is Webster Technique certified, a specialized approach designed to support pelvic alignment and comfort throughout pregnancy. She also works with postpartum moms navigating recovery and reconnecting with their bodies after birth.

Pediatric Care for Infants and Children

Dr. Kailey uses instrument-based adjusting for infants and children — a gentle, low-force technique that works well for kids who wouldn't tolerate traditional manual adjustments. From birth through childhood, chiropractic care can support nervous system development, sleep, and overall resilience.

Nervous System Scanning — Rare in the Cedar Valley

Dr. Kailey is one of only two providers in the Cedar Valley offering objective nervous system scanning using surface EMG, thermal imaging, and muscle tension assessment. These tools give us a clear, data-driven picture of how your nervous system is functioning — so care is guided by findings, not guesswork.
