Chiropractic Care for Ankeny Families

At True Roots, we do not just treat the symptom you walked in with. We use state-of-the-art technology to assess your nervous system, pinpoint the source of your pain, and build a full-spine care plan that actually works.

That difference matters. Most Ankeny patients who find us have tried something else first. Another chiropractor, physical therapy, painkillers, or a wait-and-see approach. They come to us because the results held.

What to Expect From Your Care

Adjustments are efficient, with most taking under 15 minutes. Re-evaluations run 30 minutes or less. Your first visit wraps up in under an hour.

Our Service Area in Ankeny

We serve patients across both Ankeny ZIP codes, 50021 and 50023, covering north Ankeny, south Ankeny, and the Prairie Trail community. Whether you are near Saylorville, off Oralabor Road, or in one of Ankeny's newer developments north of I-35, our Des Moines clinic is a quick drive away.

Conditions We Help Ankeny Patients With

Ankeny patients come to True Roots for a wide range of concerns. Our whole-body approach means we look beyond the area where you feel pain, because the source is rarely where the symptom shows up.

Pain and Injury

We commonly treat back pain (chronic or acute), neck pain and tech neck from desk work, headaches and migraines, sciatica and nerve pain, sports injuries, and auto accident recovery including whiplash.

Family and Pregnancy Care

Ankeny is one of the fastest-growing family communities in Iowa, and a large part of our practice is built around supporting growing families. We offer Webster-certified prenatal care for expecting mothers and pediatric care for infants through teens. Common concerns we help with include colic, ear infections, sleep issues, posture, ADHD, bedwetting, and developmental support.

Structural and Nervous System Issues

We work with posture problems, disc issues including bulges and protrusions, and stenosis. Patients also see improvements in sleep, energy, immune function, and overall nervous system health.

Why Ankeny Patients Choose True Roots

We use the Torque Release Technique (TRT), one of the most researched and scientifically validated chiropractic techniques in practice today. All of our doctors are Advanced Proficiency Rated in TRT. It is a specific, low-force adjustment that works for everyone from infants to seniors, with reproducible and measurable results.

Voted Cityview's Best Chiropractor

We were voted Cityview's Best Chiropractor in 2022 and 2023, recognition we earned from the Des Moines metro community, including our Ankeny patients.
