Went back to Iowa for 5 days to see family. For the last 6 months, I have had chronic left…read moreneck/shoulder pain. In my hometown of San Diego, I had seen 3 chiropractors, 2 massage therapists, and an acupuncturist who also did Chinese cupping. My pain had never gone away for more than 10 days, so upon my plane landing in Des Moines, I made an appointment with the clinic my mother and father have been going to for the last 3 decades or more, Rebarcak. I had no preference for which doctor I saw and I was given to Dr. Brady Rebarcak for treatment. I explained the treatment I had received in San Diego, CA. I was impressed with the results: within 2 hours after treatment, I was 95% better. Three days later I went back for a follow-up visit before my departure to San Diego. Today, 5 days later I am pain-free. If my mom were alive today, I could hear her say, "I told you they could fix you up." The doctor did a combination of Chiropractic, Chinese cupping, and Gua Sha on my neck. In San Diego, I had experienced all of the techniques from my San Diego doctors, but not one doctor had isolated the problem with the use of all the techniques in one treatment. What can I say: I am truly amazed! Give this place a try and follow through with the treatment plan. Depending on the difficulty of your specific pain/complaint you have a very high probability of becoming pain-free with Rebarcak Chiro doctors.

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.

Overall an excellent experience. A+

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.
