Exercise and nutrition play a critical role in the success of your Chiropractic Care. Part of healing the entire body is monitoring what kind of food you’re allowing into your body as well as how you continuously stretch and utilize muscles to keep them functioning strong.

Nutritional & Exercise Counseling in the Des Moines Area
We want to help you hit your health goals. What you eat and your exercise routines play a major role in your body’s ability to heal and stay at peak performance. That’s why we offer consulting for your nutritional needs and exercise plans so you can feel 100% all the time.
We understand how intricately the body’s systems work together. The foods a patient eats can have a powerful impact on the neuromuscular system, which means changes in diet can dramatically enhance the effectiveness of chiropractic techniques.
Inflammation caused by dietary factors can aggravate many of the conditions chiropractors treat, including rheumatoidarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, osteoarthritis, scoliosis, and neuritis. Combining nutritional counseling with chiropractic techniques can minimize systemic inflammation and thereby reduce pain as well as other symptoms.
Nutritional counseling can take a variety of forms—most commonly prescribing dietary supplements and dispensing literature about nutrition. However, effective counseling also includes:
Monitoring a diet diary.
Conducting and analyzing lab tests.
Creating a customized dietary plan.
Monitoring the patient’s improvement.
Exercise Coaching in Des Moines
Exercise is another complementary treatment that often goes hand in hand with chiropractic techniques—particularly for the treatment of lower back pain. Many studies have cited the importance of exercise, along with spinal manipulation, in the treatment of acute and chronic lower back pain. Exercise helps strengthen the lower back and abdominal muscles to better support the spine, keeping patients limber and improving their quality of life.
It’s also helpful for relieving neck pain. Studies have proven a combination of exercise and chiropractic techniques to be more effective at treating neck pain than any other noninvasive intervention. We’ll prescribe pain-relieving stretches between spinal adjustments or incorporate physiotherapy into a patient’s overall treatment plan.

I highly recommend Airport Chiropractic. Carrie and Dr. Schiltz have been very friendly, attentive and professional. Most importantly, I've had significant improvement on the issue I was being seen for.
I hurt my back moving wood on Saturday. By Sunday I was in pain. I called Dr. Tom first thing Monday morning. They got me in right away. I couldn't stand up straight or walk or sit comfortably. After 2 visits I could move, sit, drive without grimacing. I am so happy with the results and I highly recommend Dr. Tom. He is very knowledgeable and caring.
Highly recommend Dr. Tom at airport chiropractic. Have been going to him for years. He does an amazing job. I always walk out feeling better. Carrie is always there to greet me and my family with a smile.
