Chiropractic care is not just for back pain.

And it isn’t just about “cracking” backs.

Evidence-based chiropractors bring a depth of knowledge and skill to help with a wide range of ailments and at much less cost and disruption than other treatments, like surgery.

“After all, chiropractors—health care professionals who specialize in musculoskeletal system and nervous system disorders—heal everything from soft tissue running injuries and joint pain to headaches,” says Dr. William Lauretti in a recent Health and Fitness article. “Their work is non-invasive, far cheaper than surgery, and comes with little to no downtime.” This is certainly true at Capital Chiropractic & Rehabilitation Center.

So when should I see a chiropractor?

Great question. Come see us if you:

• Have pain, headaches, migraines, or difficulty moving.
• Suffered a recent injury.
• Are recovering from a procedure or surgery and need rehabilitation.
• Have had chronic pain in a foot, hip, elbow, shoulder, leg, hand or elsewhere.
• Are interested in non-pharmacological, non-invasive relief.

Dr. LoRang has established a reputation for excellent communication with patients to make a plan for their care. The clinic is honored to have a 5-star rating on Facebook and Google, as well as multi-year ranking of Best Chiropractor in Des Moines. That is partly because a custom care experience is our gold standard. Opting for a conservative approach, Dr. LoRang does not use a one-size-fits all treatment plan. Instead, the number of visits you have is backed by clinical expertise as well as your interests and goals.

As one patient recently said, “Hands down my favorite chiropractic experience. Chris is no gimmicks, all improved health. The staff are wonderful and very helpful. I highly recommend them to all of my family/friends.”
