Clarity Chiropractic opened in April of 2022 with the goal of providing quality chiropractic care for the citizens of Johnston Iowa. Since April we have been fortunate to be a part of hundreds of citizens of Johnston Iowa's life.

Have I Seen You Before?

You just may have! You may have seen us this year at the farmers market, at the Johnston IA green days event, at our grand opening celebration, or perhaps you've walked through our halls and experienced true wellness.

Why Chiropractic Care?

A lot people think the only reason to go to a chiropractor is after a major incident, or when they have some ache or pain that is so debilitating that they can’t get out of bed. Are you one of those people? If so, you are most certainly not alone, and you are definitely not wrong. If you are in pain, you certainly should go seek treatments at a chiropractic office near me.

Believe it or not, pain is crucial warning sign that something is going terribly wrong in your body. The nervous system is a lot smarter than we give it credit for. Pain and sensation are only 20% of what your nervous system is responsible for. Have you ever heard the old saying "you only use 10% of your brain"? Although it may seem correct, it is far from the truth. Have you ever had to think about you liver functioning, heart beating or stomach digesting? What about your cells dividing and multiplying? Of course not! That other 80% is focused on running all the functions of your body that you don't have to think about.

So How Does This Chiropractic Stuff Work?

Chiropractors specialize in correcting minute misalignments of the spine. Those minute misalignments, other wise known as a subluxations, can lead to quite the number of health concerns within the body. Certain chiropractors, like those at Clarity Chiropractic in Johnston, will also go one step further and adjust any necessary extremities that are out of alignment.

Can Chiropractic Help Me With My Health Concerns?

If you were born, whether it be vaginally or caesarian, chiropractic care is for you. Birth is one of the most traumatic events many people will ever go through. Believe it or not, it takes around 80 lbs. of traction pull to remove baby from a pregnant women's uterus. To put that into perspective, 100 lbs. can break a bone. Starting off in life with those misalignments can put you at a higher risk for certain illnesses and injuries. For instance ear infections in kids are a sign of atlas misalignment, which if left untreated into adulthood, can lead to chronic headaches and neck pain.

So What Does Quality Chiropractic Care Look Like?

That is the million dollar question, and unfortunately it’s different for everybody. At Clarity Chiropractic in Johnston, we try to accommodate to everyone's needs. As your Johnston chiropractor, we strive to correct the cause of whatever is giving you aches and dysfunction, whether it be our chiropractic adjustments, or providing a good referral to put you in the right hands. Dr. Walker and Dr. Allison are very active in the community and are constantly building relationships with other practitioners and wellness care clinics in the Johnston IA community.

What does My First Appointment Look Like At Clarity?

It all starts with a call to the office. At Clarity Chiropractic our number one goal is to get you out of whatever ailment brought you in the door, while being as safe as we possibly can be. We have all heard that horror story about how some chiropractor twisted my cousins friends wife's brother's nephew's best friend's neck and he had some awful side effect after the adjustment. That is why we do NOT adjust at the first appointment. We take in depth scans and X-rays to make sure we know EXACTLY what is going on with your spine.

Our Adjustment

When you come back for your second appointment, we go over your x-rays and provide you with your first adjustment. Our adjustment, is unlike any other chiropractors in Johnston Ia. We utilize a technique that promotes optimal pain relief, without the need to twist, bend or pop. At Clarity in Johnston, our patients are generally seeking a gentler method of adjusting, and really are looking for complete pain relief. Many patients do not realize that there is an alternative to the standard version of chiropractic care, and welcome the relaxing correction we provide in Johnston Iowa.

Wellness Care

Have you ever heard the old adage, "If I go one time, I'll have to go the rest of my life" The answer to that statement in short is yes and no.

Rationale For The Answer Yes

• Once we go through an initial bout of correction, usually lasting 3 months, wellness care becomes much less of a financial investment, as well as becoming much less time consuming, so why wouldn't you want to keep feeling good.

• You only need to keep up with chiropractic care for as long as you want to feel good. If you stopped going to the gym, you would expect to gain fat and lose muscle, same concept.

Rationale For The Answer No

• Once we get through our initial corrective phase (the time where you get out of pain, and see the relief you've been praying for) you can stop coming in, its completely up to you. That being said, if you continue to live the exact same life, subjecting yourself to the same traumas (looking down at your phone, driving down bumpy roads, etc...), toxins (drinking tap water, eating processed foods, smoking), and thoughts (stress, anxiety, depression), you can expect to find yourself right back to where you started.

• In our expiernece, when patients do not commit to some form of wellness care, we see them back in the office with the same problems they started with, sometimes its a year later, sometimes its 2 months, depending on their lifestyle.

Should I Get Adjusted?

If you haven't gathered your answer to this question on your own yet, let me answer it for you.

Getting adjusted is one of the best ways to get out of pain, or just to keep yourself from getting pain in the future. Call Clarity Chiropractic in Johnston today to see if being a patient at Clarity is right for you.
