Chiropractic Adjustments
At Core Chiropractic, chiropractic adjustments are at the heart of what we do. These gentle, targeted movements are designed to restore proper joint mobility, reduce pain, and help your body function at its best.
When joints stop moving the way they should—whether due to injury, posture, or everyday stress—nearby muscles and tissues are forced to compensate. Over time, this leads to discomfort, stiffness, and inefficiency in how your body moves. Chiropractic adjustments help realign the spine and other joints, improving muscle activation, reducing tension, and enhancing overall range of motion.
Whether you're dealing with back pain, neck stiffness, or simply want to move and feel better, chiropractic adjustments can help get you back on track—naturally and effectively.
Rehabilitation Exercises
At Core Chiropractic, we believe movement is medicine—and we’re here to show you how to use it safely and effectively. Whether you're recovering from an injury or looking to prevent one, our therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises are designed to support your body, not stress it.
Many people avoid exercise due to pain, fear of injury, or simply not knowing where to start. That’s where we come in. We’ll create a personalized movement plan tailored to your abilities and goals—one that promotes healing, builds strength, and supports long-term mobility.
And no, rehab doesn’t have to be boring. We’ll help you rediscover how fun and empowering it can feel to move well again—with exercises that are practical, sustainable, and designed to get you back to doing what you love.
StemWave Therapy
Looking for a non-invasive way to reduce pain and promote healing at the source? StemWave Therapy offers an advanced solution that taps into your body’s natural healing potential—without drugs, injections, or surgery.
StemWave uses harmless, low-intensity acoustic waves to target damaged tissues and stimulate cellular repair. This breakthrough therapy encourages increased blood flow, reduces inflammation, and activates your body’s stem cell response, helping you heal from chronic pain, soft tissue injuries, joint issues, and more.
Treatments are quick, comfortable, and highly effective—even for those who haven’t found relief through traditional methods. Whether you're dealing with nagging shoulder pain, tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, or other musculoskeletal issues, StemWave is a safe, regenerative option to get you back to doing what you love.
IASTM (Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization)
At Core Chiropractic, we offer advanced soft tissue therapies to help you move better, feel better, and recover faster. One highly effective technique we use is Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)—also known as "scraping."
Using specialized stainless-steel tools, our chiropractors target restricted or damaged soft tissues like muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and even nerves. This technique helps break down adhesions, reduce scar tissue, and stimulate blood flow, all while restoring mobility and function to the affected area.
IASTM is safe, comfortable, and highly effective in treating issues like chronic muscle tightness, sports injuries, tendonitis, and post-surgical stiffness. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or simply want to improve performance, IASTM at Core Chiropractic in Waukee can help restore your body’s natural movement and flexibility.
Massage Therapy
At Core Chiropractic, we offer therapeutic massage therapy as more than just a relaxing experience—it’s a powerful tool to support your overall health and healing.
Massage therapy has grown in popularity for good reason. It’s not only a great way to unwind, but it also provides a range of proven benefits, including reduced muscle tension, improved circulation, stress relief, and enhanced recovery from injury or strain. Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, tight muscles, or simply need time to reset, massage therapy can support your physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
If you’ve never experienced massage as part of your care plan, now’s the perfect time to give it a try. At Core Chiropractic in Waukee, our licensed massage therapists work hand-in-hand with your chiropractic care to help you feel your best—inside and out.
