I went to this chiropractor hoping to get relief. Instead, I am filled with grief. Before booking,…read moreI double-checked they were in network with my insurance plan, and they were. However, they hire out-of-network practitioners, so you have to pay double, or even seven times worth, your copayment (in my case). The clinic may be in the network, but the chiropractors aren't. Beware. You might just get ripped off like me... It's not worth it.

I did not see Cassandra for chiropractic work (although I sometimes get that done too); I saw her…read moreonly for deep tissue massage (90 minutes). First let me say that I've had over 100 massages with over 30 different practitioners over the past 20 years (in California mostly, but in various other states as well) and request deep tissue work every time. I've only had 3 masseuses in Ames so far, but Cassandra was clearly outstanding (I gave my two other masseuses here 2/5 stars). Not only was she experienced and skilled, she actively applied her knowledge to great effect during the massage - paying attention, investigating, and reacting. Cassandra used superior hand/finger techniques and I don't remember her ever using her elbows (which is a shortcut most masseuses resort to, but which is avoided by the "top 2%" of masseuses). If you are in Ames definitely look her up! I saw her in August of 2015; she was working at Family Chiropractic and Wellness at 2629 University Blvd, although she had just moved there recently.

Regular chiropractic didn't help me and my current chiropractor was in classes just learning the techniques. Dr. Gunderson using electronic acupuncture ,got rid of my pain in 3 sessions.

He howls and he barks. It's like a whole conversation when he's around. Then he licks me and goes on about his day Critter Watching outside until the next arrives. I wouldn't go anywhere else. ​​​

Medical practitioners had started saying that this may be my new normal but he was not so quick to give up.

And that effort and optimism goes a long way. Oh, he's also a really good listener and super gentle. I can not recommend enough.

The chiropractor himself is very skilled and does a great job. They have a very screwed up accounting system.
