If you've tried chiropractic care, medication, or physical therapy and the pain keeps coming back — the problem isn't that treatment doesn't work. It's that no one identified the structural cause.
Back pain, neck pain, or headaches stay in one area. It comes and goes. Over-the-counter medication or rest helps for now. You assume it's from sleeping wrong, sitting too much, or overdoing it at the gym. But underneath, a spinal misalignment is already interfering with how your nervous system communicates.
Your body shifts weight, posture, and movement patterns to avoid the pain. Now your hips, knees, or opposite shoulder start aching. Migraines become more frequent. Sciatica flares up. A pinched nerve develops. The original problem is still there — and now it has company.
Activities you used to do without thinking — walking the dog, playing with your kids, sleeping through the night — become difficult or painful. The window of "good days" gets smaller. Each episode lasts longer and takes more to recover from. What started as occasional back pain has become a chronic condition affecting your entire life.
Most back pain relief and neck pain relief approaches focus on where you feel pain — not where the problem is structurally occurring. A general chiropractic adjustment without diagnostic data is targeting symptoms, not the source. The relief is real, but temporary, because the underlying misalignment and nerve interference are still there.
Neurologically-based chiropractic care starts with a full diagnostic evaluation that maps exactly where spinal misalignments and nerve interference are occurring. That data is what separates a targeted correction plan from another round of temporary back pain relief — and it's why Day 1 at Vero starts with diagnostics, not an adjustment.
Your brain controls every function in your body by sending signals through the spinal cord and out through billions of nerve pathways. When vertebrae in the spine shift out of alignment — called a subluxation — they put pressure on those nerves and disrupt the communication between your brain and body. The result is pain, dysfunction, and a body that can't heal the way it's designed to.
Most chiropractic care adjusts based on where you report pain. Neurologically-based chiropractic care is different — it uses advanced diagnostic technology to locate exactly where nerve interference is occurring, then delivers precise, gentle adjustments to correct the structural cause. The goal isn't just back pain relief or neck pain relief — it's restoring the communication pathway so your body can function and heal properly.
This is not a crack-and-go approach. Every chiropractic adjustment is guided by objective data — and every correction is specific to what your nervous system actually needs.
Measures temperature differentials along the spine to identify areas of nerve irritation and inflammation — showing us where the nervous system is under stress.
Evaluates the electrical activity of the muscles supporting your spine. Imbalances in muscle function point directly to areas of nerve interference and subluxation.
Posture and movement assessment reveals how your body has compensated around the misalignment — so we can address the full picture, not just the point of pain.
If recommended, imaging gives us a detailed structural view of your spine. Imaging costs are discussed separately before proceeding — nothing is done without your consent.
Whether you're looking for a chiropractor for back pain, neck pain, sciatica, migraines, or general chiropractic wellness — neurologically-based care is designed for people who want lasting correction, not temporary relief. This is especially valuable if you've tried chiropractic before and it "didn't work" — the difference is in the diagnostics.
If you want a same-day, walk-in adjustment without diagnostics, this isn't that. Neurologically-based chiropractic care starts with a thorough evaluation on Day 1 — because making a precise correction requires knowing exactly where the problem is first. That said, if the evaluation shows chiropractic therapy isn't the right approach for your condition, we'll tell you directly.

Vero Health Center has been rated the top medical clinic in West Des Moines, IA, for helping our patients live the lives they deserve through natural, effective, and state-of-the-art chiropractic care and pain management.
Unlike traditional health offices that focus only on treating symptoms, we address the body’s master control system first — the nervous system. Through precise chiropractic care, we work to restore proper spinal alignment and improve communication between the brain and body.
We begin with a comprehensive neurological and structural evaluation to gain an exact understanding of your overall health. Using these findings, we create a personalized chiropractic care plan designed to correct underlying issues, relieve pain, and help you achieve optimal health and long-term wellness.
No surprises. Here's exactly what the process looks like from the first phone call to your personalized correction plan.
Your first visit is focused entirely on understanding your condition — not on a chiropractic adjustment. We need to know exactly where the nerve interference is occurring before we touch anything.
If X-rays or additional imaging are recommended, we'll discuss that with you before proceeding.
We sit down with you and walk through your evaluation results in plain language. You'll see exactly where the spinal misalignments are, how they're affecting your nervous system, and what a targeted correction plan looks like for your specific case.
If we can help, we'll lay out a clear plan — including how long your chiropractic care will take, what to expect, and the full cost. If we can't help, we'll tell you that directly and refer you to someone who can.
If you decide neurologically-based chiropractic therapy is right for you, your personalized correction protocol begins — precise, gentle adjustments guided by diagnostic data and designed to address the structural cause of your pain.
There's no pressure to commit on the spot. Many patients take a day or two to decide, and that's completely fine.
The $37 evaluation is a diagnostic visit — not a sales pitch. If chiropractic care isn't the right fit for your condition, you'll know on Day 2. No obligation, no contracts.

The $37 covers a 1-on-1 consultation, full health history review, neurological and muscle evaluation, digital posture and movement analysis, and a personalized plan for recovery. This is a comprehensive diagnostic visit — not a quick screening. If X-rays or additional imaging are recommended, we'll discuss that with you before proceeding. Imaging is not included in the $37 special.
Most chiropractic adjustments are based on where you report pain. We use four diagnostic technologies — thermal infrared scanning, surface EMG, digital structural analysis, and imaging when indicated — to locate exactly where nerve interference is occurring. That means every adjustment is precise and data-driven, targeting the structural cause rather than guessing based on symptoms. If you've tried chiropractic care before and it didn't hold, this is likely why.
That's one of the most common things we hear. In most cases, the previous chiropractor was adjusting based on reported pain without running baseline nerve scans or structural imaging. Without that data, corrections are generalized — not targeted. Neurologically-based chiropractic care identifies the specific misalignments causing your nerve interference, which is why the results are different and why they hold.
Many patients notice improvement in their back pain, neck pain, or other symptoms within the first few weeks of chiropractic care. Full structural correction takes longer — your spine didn't shift out of alignment overnight, and correcting it properly takes time. Your specific timeline is laid out clearly on Day 2, with measurable milestones so you can track real progress along the way.
No. Our chiropractic adjustments are very gentle and specific — guided by diagnostic data to apply the right amount of force in the right direction at the right location. This isn't a high-force, crack-and-twist approach. Most patients find the adjustments comfortable and often feel immediate relief afterward. We treat families including children and pregnant women with the same gentle technique.
Then we'll tell you directly. The entire point of the evaluation is to determine whether we can help your specific condition. If your back pain, neck pain, sciatica, or other symptoms require a different type of treatment — or if chiropractic therapy isn't the right approach — we'll explain why and refer you to the right provider. You'll never be pushed into care that isn't appropriate for your situation.
