The Adjustment
We utilize an instrument to adjust the spine, which allows us to be more specific than your standard chiropractor. We focus on an upper cervical approach with an emphasis on full spine adjusting.
At Clarity in Johnston Iowa, we utilize a different approach to adjusting. Different, but effective.

FAQ’s
Are Chiropractic Adjustments Safe?
You bet! Although there are risks to treatment, the odds of a serious complication range from 1 in a million, to one every 8 million. To put that in perspective 2-3 out of every 10 people that go into elective surgery will develop complications. Chiropractic is one of the safest healthcare options in the world.
Will Chiropractic Help Sciatica?
Absolutely! Chiropractic can help with sciatica, spinal stenosis, pinched nerves, plantar fasciitis, neuropathy and more. Although Chiropractic is not a “Cure-All” it can help regulate the nervous system and allow YOUR body to do the healing. The body is an amazing thing, and can do more than we give it credit for. Given the proper circumstances, the body is capable of anything.
Which Chiropractic technique is best?
A hotly debated topic in Chiropractic is the technique. We at Clarity Chiropractic in Johnston Iowa believe that TRT or Torque release technique is the best possible approach to correction of the nervous system. It is a low force, impactful approach built off of upper cervical research that leaves you feeling better with less soreness than standard manual chiropractic.
How Do Chiropractic Adjustment Work?
A chiropractic adjustment works by relieving pressure off of a nerve. At Clarity Chiropractic in Johnston, not only do we move bones, but we also check for facial buildup, muscle adhesions and the tone of your nervous system. Correction of these can lead to optimal wellness and pain free living.
Why Is Chiropractic Care Important?
We put our bodies through some pretty rough places, and occasionally it can need a tune up. Maybe poor posture is leading to neck pain and headaches, bad lifting mechanics giving you low back pain, or you were involved in a car accident. All of these things can lead to spinal misalignments which negatively affect the brain and nervous system. Chiropractic care in Johnston can help remove those stressors from your body and allow it to function the way God intended.
Can Chiropractic Help With…?
The answer to this question is yes. Chiropractic can help with aches, pains and even organ dysfunction. It is always worth a try before going through more invasive procedures, even if you dont think it can help. At Clarity Chiropractic in Johnston, we give you honest answers, and give you realistic expectations of how and if we can help.
What Chiropractic Services Are Covered By My Insurance?
Generally insurance and chiropractic don’t play nicely, but there is a reason. Insurance pays for sick care, and is there as a “just in case”. Chiropractic near me may initially be associated with a symptom or dysfunction, but after a while, they will most likely be fixed. Continuation of Chiropractic care will prevent those problems from coming back in the future. Insurance is concerned about their financial bottom line, not your health, therefore they do not see the need for you to feel good, they just don’t want you to die. Fortunately our Doctors at Clarity Chiropractic are out of network with most insurance companies, so they can make the best decisions for you based on what your body needs, not based on what your insurance will pay for.
When Was Chiropractic Created?
In the late 1800’s D.D. Palmer, an alternative medicine practitioner, was working at an office building in Iowa. The janitor of the building, an African American by the name of Harvey Lillard, struggled with hearing loss. Mr. Palmer brought him into his office and upon examination found a misalignment in his spine. He put a force into the area, and Harvey’s hearing was restored.
You heard that right, the first chiropractic adjustment wasn’t for pain, but for an organ dysfunction. This led D.D. to found Palmer College of Chiropractic and grow the profession to where it is today.
