Capital Chiropractic is the best of its kind in Des Moines! They offer everything from chiropractic adjustments to physical therapy and more. The staff are kind and responsive. And Dr. Lorang is excellent at his craft - super knowledgeable and practices what he preaches. I've been able to deal with back and shoulder pain from sports injuries because of Dr, Lorang's treatments. Highly recommend! read more

I can't be more impressed with the entire staff here! I feel HEARD, I feel valued, and I know the treatment I receive is for my well rounded health. Dr. Hartley truly CARES. He explains processes to me, he offers suggestions, and I know if I didn't understand something, he will patiently explain it to me. From the moment you walk in, you feel cared about. If you're on the fence or have received chiropractic care in the past, I emphatically recommend giving this a try. read more

After a fall, I needed help somewhat urgently. Chris and his team were able to find time for me right away. Most importantly, they got me feeling much better, but I'm also grateful for how easy the team is to work with for scheduling and insurance issues. read more

Capital Chiropractic is a fantastic new buisness in Des Moines. Not only do the owners care about you as a client but they care about the community of Des Moines as well.

The office is in the east village and has several exam rooms, filled with pre pain exercises and 11th hour help from the Chris the Chiropractor. You can honestly tell they care about the clients they have, always welcoming you with a smile and they have Free Apples every day! I guess it makes sense, an Apple a Day keeps the pain away! They also are huge supporters of the communy arts! Yesterday having an art opening in the office from local artist. They also support the local music scene and play in it as well. Smiley faces, and helpful knowledge and care is what you will find here. read more

I went to Capital Chiropractic with severe lower back pain and lack of mobility. Chris took the time to get to the root of the issue and thoroughly diagnose the problem. Instead of going straight to manipulation, Chris taught me a series of stretches that helped almost immediately. After just two treatments, and two days of the prescribed stretches, I was almost completely healed and able to get back to life. I went from barely being able to walk to going right back to my active work as a photographer with few limitations in a span of 48 hours. It was almost miraculous! read more

Wow!!! Professional, Great and helpful staff, wonderful treatment! What more could you ask for in a rehabilitation center??? I've been going to Dr. Chris Lorang on and off for about 6 months now. He has helped me tremendously with my chronic hip and knee issues. I'm a massage therapist in Des Moines at East Village Spa and I have sent a few of my clients his way and he has helped them out with there chronic pain as well. He's ethical and runs a great business! He also sends you home with homecare stretches and exercise recommendations. read more

Attention anyone with a SPORTS injury! I had a deep sports injury to my upper left adductor muscle/tendon area. I was unable to swing my leg over the edge of my bed to get up in the mornings and was barley able to walk (or lift my leg to put on a pair of jeans...you get the picture). Dr. Chris LoRang used several techniques that he specializes in, including Active Release and Graston to get my adductor muscle, tendons, tissue (and whatever else is inside my body) to work properly again. I was walking in one visit and over a couple weeks I was good as new. He incorporates Active Release Techniques as he adjusts my neck/back and monitors my gait (how I walk) to ensure I am 'good to go'! Spread the word that a talented, caring, sports oriented chiropractor with a GREAT personality is in the East Village! ~ Darcy Bedford West Des Moines, IA read more

Dr. Lorang is a MIRACLE WORKER. When I arrived in Des Moines (after a three day car ride from California) I was in constant low back pain. I tried going to a highly regarded D.O. in Des Moines but didn't feel any relief after 3 weeks. I was so pleased to find Capital Chiropractic on Yelp and see all the great reviews. I have been seeing Dr. Lorang for 4-5 weeks now and the pain is gone! And he is so incredibly nice and really is committed to helping his patients understand what is going on and what exercises to do between visits to achieve sustained health, not just temporary relief. In my case, I have gotten a couple of new exercises every week and they work like a dream. If I could give more stars, I would! read more

Capitol Chiropractic is great. Dr. Lorang is a very ethical doctor and we never hesitate to refer our massage therapy clients to him for treatments. I have found that he is a good person to refer anyone who is apprehensive about chiropractic adjustments, but really needs more than massage to feel better. I have also heard him give presentations on wellness and he is very approachable and helpful, not at all "a sales pitch" but rather providing excellent information and answering individual questions well. I highly recommend visiting his office or inviting him to speak to your office or sports team. read more

Capital Chiropractic is not your ordinary chiropractic clinic. I originally chose this doctors office based off the Yelp reviews and how happy people seemed to be with the Doctor and the treatment. I can say that all the five star reviews could not be more accurate. Dr. Lorang is focused on getting to know you as an individual and find out not only what causes you pain but also how to help you heal. He not only treats your pain but helps you find exercises and stretches to help build strength and get ride of pain for good. I highly recommend Capital Chiropractic. read more

Dear Future Patient, It's safe to assume that right now you're; 1. in need of an adjustment, suffering with pain, and need relief! 2. searching through endless patient testimonials, hoping to find a Chiropractor who's not a 'quack'! 3. mindful of appointment frequency. You don't want to see a Chiropractor more than you see your significant other! 4. hoping you choose a Chiropractor that doesn't run unnecessary and expensive tests trying to fix every creak you've had since birth! If any of the aforementioned statements apply to you, keep reading! If not, reconsider or move on. Chris is incapable of being anything BUT compassionate, professional and most of all, honest! Now, I know what you're thinking; obviously Chris has paid me to write a great review for him because I'm so witty and clever, but sadly this is not the case! As someone who has had good and bad experiences with Chiropractors, it was extremely important that I found someone who helped me RECOVER. Yes, recover. As in, I don't want to: a.) be in pain anymore and b.) only be offered temporary results. I have seen various Chiropractors over the past 15 years, and I know manual medicine plays an essential role in strengthening and maintaining our systemic health. Here's my story: I recently started a new job, where my desk chair and I are one-in-the same. She and I get along until about 11:15 am everyday and then she turns into a total pain in my neck! After a particularly long day, I went to bed one evening as a 28-year old woman and woke up as a 98-year old, bedridden lady. Imagine my surprise! In a state of pure panic, I immediately called around to schedule an appointment with any Chiropractor who would see me. I was desperate! It was a Monday and no one could get me in until Friday... I was crushed. Monday night, I reached out to a friend who has lived in Des Moines longer than I have and he said you have to go to Capital Chiropractic & Rehabilitation Center! He told me that Chris is a super nice guy, an excellent Chiropractor and will explain everything and get me fixed up! Usually I would ask more questions, but I truly didn't care if he was a circus performer, masquerading as a doctor; I needed relief! The next day, I reached out to Capital Chiropractic & Rehabilitation Center, explained that I was dying (a little dramatic, I know!) and had an appointment hours later. My first impressions of Capital Chiropractic & Rehabilitation Center were as follows: 1. Providing a free parking lot in the crowded East Village is awesome! 2. The office was immaculate, modern, and full of local artwork. (I've come to find out that Chris and his wife, Abbie, are incredibly community oriented and support various Des Moines/ Iowa organizations!) 3. The office managers, Carla & Jen are WONDERFUL, knowledgable, and so friendly! 4. During my next visit, I would need to bring a larger purse to smuggle free apples and free Eco Lips lip balm. 5. Chris must moonlight as a dentist, because his teeth were impeccable. As I shuffled my 98 year-old body back to the exam room, I realized that this Dr. LoRang wasn't just a mouth full of perfect teeth; he was the guy that was going to make me 28-years old again! During our discussion, I found out that a central tenet of the McKenzie Method is that self-healing and self-treatment are important for the patient's pain relief and rehabilitation. No passive modalities - such as heat, cold, ultrasound, medicine, or needles - are used in this method of treatment. The long-term goal of the McKenzie Method is to teach patients suffering from neck pain and/or back pain how to treat themselves and manage their own pain for life using exercise and other strategies. Chris explained that his initial adjustment would offer instant relief and realignment, but that he would also teach me a set of exercises that would; 1. Reduce pain quickly 2. Help to return me to my normal daily activities 3. Minimize the risk of any recurring pain 4. Minimize the number of return visits to Capital Chiropractic & Rehabilitation Center He then gave me the best gift ever; an adjustment that gave me INSTANT RELIEF! He also gave me a copy of exercises that I could complete at home. These exercises or 'mini-adjustments' offer instant relief and have helped me to become more aware of my posture. No X-rays, no buy this or that, no burning of sage or tom foolery; just practical information and instant relief! My treatment plan included an in-office visit once a week for three weeks and then once every three weeks for a total of six visits. I just finished my sixth and final visit this week and I feel INCREDIBLE! Please DO NOT hesitate to see Dr. LoRang and his wonderful team at Capital Chiropractic and Rehabilitation Center! They provide a fair, kind, and personal experience for every patient that walks through their door. Des Moines is an even better city, now that Chris practices here. Sincerely, Happily Recovered read more

Dr. Lorang does amazing healing work! Thank you so much for the headache pain relief. He recommended some exercises that have been helping too! Have never felt better!! read more

My experience as a patient of Dr. Chris Lorang has been truly remarkable. Over 20 years ago I suffered a low back injury during a college summer job for a road and bridge construction company and have experienced chronic symptoms ever since. Dr. Lorang spent time with me asking questions, listening, and performing a thorough examination. Before ever being adjusted, I was provided with stretches and exercises that completely relieved my symptoms. As I expressed disbelief, Dr. Lorang said "here's the good news, you don't need me." He earned my trust on that day, and while I don't feel like I "need" him, I do occasionally benefit tremendously from his treatment. Dr. Lorang is a very talented chiropractor who I recommend without hesitation every time I have the opportunity. read more
