Access Chiropractic and Wellness

Mondays like this remind us why we do what we do.
That tiny smile? It tells such a big story.

So many of the babies we care for today are the same ones we supported while they were still growing in mama’s belly. Pregnancy care, birth, newborn days, it’s all connected.

Supporting a mom’s body during pregnancy helps set the foundation for smoother transitions for baby, too. And getting to see that come full circle? There’s nothing better.

Starting the week with calm, connection, and the sweetest little smiles.
Happy Monday, ACW family.

We need your help to volunteer for a free ultrasound to help us advance in our skills!

Our midwives, Kayla & Lauren, are receiving formal training in limited obstetrics ultrasound which includes early ultrasounds to determine estimated due date, assessing amniotic fluid levels, fetal position, gender and more. Important to note, these are NOT anatomy ultrasounds.

We need some pregnant mamas who don't mind getting an ultrasound when the technician will be in the clinic for the hands-on portion of the training!

When: Thursday January 15 and Friday January 16

Time: appointments are 30 minutes long and slots are available from 9:30am-4:30pm

Where: Heart of Iowa Midwifery Clinic, 2485 SE 1st Street, West Des Moines, IA 50265

Who: anyone who is pregnant and at least 8 weeks along!

These are FREE ultrasounds. Please email or call us to schedule an appointment if you would be willing to help us out and let us practice our skills!

💛 Patient Love: Maddie’s Story 💛

One of the things we care most about is creating a space where women feel supported, understood, and truly cared for. And Maddie captured that so well.

Here’s what she shared after starting care with Dr. Whitney + Dr. Kaitlyn:

“I was looking for a more holistic and women-centered approach to chiropractic care when Dr. Whitney and Dr. Kaitlyn’s practice was recommended to me. I also knew I’d want a provider that was able to work on/adjust children as well and they fit the bill in all of these areas!”

Since starting care, Maddie has noticed:
✨ Headaches that are much more manageable
✨ Less illness (especially as someone who gets sick easily)

And this part means everything to us:

“The experience is very welcoming, laid back, and receptive to what the patient needs are. You’re always listened to and taken seriously.”

Maddie, thank you for trusting us with your care. We’re so grateful you’re part of the ACW family. 💛
