New to What's Next Chiropractic? Here's Where to Start
Whether you're dealing with pain, expecting a baby, or bringing in your kids, your first step is figuring out which doctor fits your needs. This page walks you through exactly that.
Getting Started as a New Patient
Two Doctors, Two Paths, One Simple Decision
Before you book, it helps to know which doctor you're seeing and why. Dr. Jared works with active adults and athletes dealing with pain, injury, or mobility limitations, while Dr. Kailey works with expecting mothers, infants, and children needing gentler, nervous-system-informed care.
Once you know which path fits, the rest is easy. Each provider has a dedicated What to Expect page walking you through exactly what your first visit looks like.
What Makes Care at What's Next Different
Our Techniques
New patients often want to know what actually happens during care, not just who they'll see. From objective nervous-system scanning to instrument-based adjusting for kids, our techniques are built to give you measurable answers instead of guesswork.
Diversified Technique
Precise, hands-on spinal adjustments tailored in direction, speed, depth, and angle to support healthy joint motion and alignment.
Torque Release Technique
A gentle, instrument-based approach that delivers a precise, low-force input to the spine to improve communication between the brain and body, without twisting or cracking.
Webster Technique
A pregnancy-specific technique that addresses pelvic tension and restriction to support balance, comfort, and the body's natural ability to adapt throughout pregnancy.
Additional Techniques
We also draw on methods like SFMA, the McKenzie Method, manual release therapy, cupping therapy, and rehabilitative exercise to round out a patient's care plan.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
A Clear Path, Whichever Doctor You See
Your first appointment starts with a conversation about your history and goals, followed by an assessment specific to your doctor's specialty, movement testing with Dr. Jared or nervous-system scanning with Dr. Kailey. From there, you'll get a clear picture of what we found and what we recommend, with no pressure to commit on the spot.
New patients can also take advantage of the New Patient Special, $50 off your first appointment, making it easier to start care without a big upfront cost.
What Waterloo Patients Ask Before Booking
Frequently Asked Questions
What services does What's Next Chiropractic offer?
We offer six core services: chiropractic care, sports care, pregnancy care, pediatric care, women's wellness care, and family care. Dr. Jared handles pain relief, mobility, and sports-focused care, while Dr. Kailey handles pregnancy, pediatric, and nervous-system-based care. Together, the two specialties cover most needs a Waterloo family would bring to a chiropractor.
How do I know which service is right for me?
If you're dealing with pain, an injury, or want to improve athletic performance, Dr. Jared's services are the right starting point. If you're pregnant, have young children, or want nervous-system-informed wellness care, Dr. Kailey's services fit better. A free 30-minute consultation can also help you decide before you commit to a plan.
Do you treat kids and infants?
Yes. Dr. Kailey uses gentle, instrument-based adjusting designed specifically for infants and children, so care is safe and comfortable at every age. Many families come to us specifically for pediatric care that doesn't rely on manual manipulation. Our pediatric approach is neurologically focused rather than one-size-fits-all.
Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?
Yes, Dr. Kailey is Webster Technique certified through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association, a specialized certification for prenatal care. Pregnancy care at What's Next is designed to support a comfortable, healthy pregnancy from the first trimester through postpartum. Many patients start pregnancy care specifically because of this certification.
Can one family use both doctors at What's Next Chiropractic?
Absolutely, this is actually how most of our families use the practice. A parent might see Dr. Jared for sports-related pain while their children see Dr. Kailey for pediatric care, all under one roof in Waterloo. It's one of the reasons families choose us over a single-specialty practice.
