Our comprehensive treatments have helped hundreds of patients recover safely and effectively from neck pain or whiplash from auto accidents and pain related to sports injuries or worker’s compensation injuries.

Chiropractic Care Focuses on Causes of Pain,
Not Just Symptoms

At River Valley Family Chiropractic, we believe that chiropractic care should improve wellness and health in all areas of our patients’ lives. Instead of simply treating symptoms, our chiropractor Dr. Gansen seeks out the pain's underlying causes. This whole-person approach identifies numerous problems stemming from spinal column imbalances -- even if they seem unrelated.

Misalignments in the musculoskeletal system lead to an increased risk of injury and illness. When the spine is out of balance, it not only causes pain, but also contributes to symptoms such as fatigue, migraines and even difficulty concentrating. Gentle alignments restore balance -- and your overall sense of well-being. Our Belle Plaine chiropractic team draws upon years of experience and utilizes the latest, state-of-the-art chiropractic techniques and equipment to restore your balance.

We teach our patients how to stay healthy -- and prevent injury. Our “blueprint” exercise program complements chiropractic care to strengthen muscles, joints and tissues, as well as correct spinal imbalances and irregularities. Best of all, many of these exercises and stretches can be done at home. Our other preventative health and wellness services include spine and posture screenings, massage therapy, lifestyle advice, and nutritional counseling
