Before starting care at Congruent Life Chiropractic, Uriah was struggling with extreme gas pains. He was uncomfortable so much of the time, sleep was a big struggle, and he was just overall an unhappy baby with very little relief. It was so hard watching him be upset and not knowing how to help him feel better.

What stood out to me about CLC was how knowledgeable they were and how much time they took to truly understand Uriah and what he needed. They didn’t just care for Uriah — they also cared about how his discomfort was affecting our whole family.

I noticed changes pretty quickly, but the moment I really knew chiropractic care was helping was a couple of weeks into care. I set Uriah down on his own, and he was not only content — he actually put himself to sleep. He was completely at ease and comfortable. That was the beginning of a complete 180 in his demeanor, and I felt so much relief.

Now, I’m able to care for both of my boys with so much more ease. We have a solid routine, we can enjoy our days again, and Uriah is no longer dealing with that same discomfort. His sleep has improved drastically, which means all of us are more well rested. We are so thankful for the difference care at CLC has made for Uriah and our family

Before starting care at Congruent Life Chiropractic, Mila was almost 4 months old and having trouble rolling over. She seemed to carry some extra tension in her body, and it was especially concerning to me because she was able to sit independently before she knew how to roll. I could tell something just wasn’t quite connecting the way it should.

What stood out to me about CLC was that they created an individualized care plan for Mila, including frequent progress scans and adjustments. The moment I realized chiropractic care was helping was when I watched Mila roll over easily in both directions. I could just tell she had less tension throughout her body, and it was such a relief to see things finally start to click.

Now, Mila is 9 months old and so much happier. She is more mobile, moving with more ease, and has less tension throughout her body. Seeing her progress has been such a blessing, and I’m so thankful for the care she has received at CLC.

Before starting care at Congruent Life Chiropractic, Sophia wasn’t having any specific problems, we started getting regular adjustments for her overall wellness. We wanted to be proactive and support her body as she continued to grow.

What stood out to us about CLC was their comprehensive nervous system testing and their whole-body approach to chiropractic care. From the beginning, the environment felt friendly and welcoming, and the team was excellent at communicating — whether they were explaining scan results, walking us through the care plan, or answering questions along the way.

After starting care, we began noticing positive changes in Sophia’s overall well-being. Her moods became more stable, she seemed to have more energy, she was sleeping better, and she seemed to bounce back from colds more easily. Seeing those improvements in her day-to-day life was encouraging and reassuring.

Overall, life is better and Sophia is happier. We’re so thankful for the meaningful difference this care has made for her

Before starting care at Congruent Life Chiropractic, I was dealing with whole-body pain, anxiety, panic attacks, worry, and health anxiety. After walking through loss and trauma, my nervous system felt completely dysregulated, and I honestly felt like my body was stuck in survival mode.

What felt different about CLC was that the care was neurologically focused. It wasn’t just about chasing symptoms — it was about understanding what was happening in my nervous system and helping my body start to regulate again.

I noticed a shift right away. After my first adjustment, I went home and took a nap in the middle of the day, something I usually cannot do, and it felt like my body finally let out a deep sigh of relief. Within just a few visits, I could tell my anxiety was decreasing, and I started to feel more grounded and in control.

Now, I have less pain, less health anxiety, and I don’t spiral the way I used to. I feel more confident making plans, doing things again, and living with more independence and strength. Care at CLC has helped me feel like myself again.

Before starting care at Congruent Life Chiropractic, our 8-year-old son was struggling with anxiety and separation anxiety that seemed to come out of nowhere. It started with school drop-offs, where he would cry that his stomach hurt, and eventually turned into intense headaches, stomach aches, and panic attacks at bedtime. We saw doctors, were referred to a neurologist, and were even given recommendations for medication, but nothing really explained what was going on or gave us the answers we were hoping for.

After learning more about PANS/PANDAS and hearing about neurologically focused chiropractic care, we found CLC. We weren’t exactly sure what to expect at first, but we quickly felt confident that we were in the right place. The doctors and staff helped us understand how regular adjustments could support our son’s nervous system and give his body the best chance to function and thrive.

Dr. Mike told us it could take a few months before we saw big changes, and he was right. After about 3–4 months of consistent care, our son was able to stay overnight with a family member for the first time in almost a year. Soon after, he was spending time away from us again, saying goodbye without getting emotional, and acting like the carefree kid we knew was still in there.

Now, one year after starting care at CLC, our son is back to his normal, happy, relaxed self. Last year, we felt glued to his side, but this year he is independent, enjoys playing with friends again, and life feels so much more balanced. Watching his anxiety fade has been an incredible relief, and we are so thankful we found Congruent Life Chiropractic

For nearly a year, I struggled with a chronic cough that just wouldn’t go away. It affected everything—conversations, social settings, even simple moments with people. I was constantly having to explain that I wasn’t sick, and it started to wear on me.

When I came to Congruent Life Chiropractic, the experience felt immediately different. They didn’t take a random trial-and-error approach. They had a clear process, real scans, and a way of showing how the stress patterns in my nervous system were actually connected to the chronic cough I’d been living with. For the first time, I understood why my body was doing what it was doing.

Not long into care, I hit the moment I’d been hoping for—I realized I wasn’t coughing anymore. It felt amazing. I could talk, work, and be around people without feeling self-conscious or misunderstood.

Now, life feels lighter. I can be fully present with people without explaining myself or worrying someone thinks I’m sick. Getting my nervous system back on track changed everything.

Before starting care at Congruent Life, I was struggling with a lot of lower back pain and constant hip issues. My hips felt so unstable that my legs would even dislocate anytime I moved, which was incredibly uncomfortable and discouraging. I went to the doctor, and physical therapy was suggested, but my mom asked if I wanted to try the chiropractor instead. I agreed, and that decision completely changed everything for me.

From the moment we walked into CLC, everyone was so welcoming and genuinely excited to help me get my body back to where it needed to be. I’ll never forget that first adjustment—Dr. Nikki was amazed at just how misaligned my back and hips were. But it didn’t take long before I started noticing real changes. Within just a couple of months, my hip and back pain had completely gone away, and there was no longer any need for physical therapy.

Now, I no longer deal with hip issues or debilitating back pain, and that relief alone has been life-changing. But what’s even more amazing is that my anxiety and stress have improved so much too. I am truly thankful for Dr. Mike and Dr. Nikki—not only did they help me heal physically, but they also gave me back a sense of peace and confidence in my body that I didn’t have before.

We started seeing a chiropractor in the Quad Cities and she referred us to Congruent. I have had chiropractic care my whole life, my uncle was a chiropractor and I would get adjusted by him once a week during my whole childhood. I knew the importance of chiropractic care for children and it was important to me to start my girls out at a young age to help them navigate life and developmental stress as best as possible.

When we came for our initial scans on our first visit, I had an “ah-ha” moment. My body wasn’t feeling quite right, I was still in a postpartum season and we were able to pinpoint areas of stress in my body. I was able to understand WHY I was feeling the way I was. All 3 of us saw huge improvements in our sleep patterns when we started care. A lot of the times the doctors will tell me “this is coming up on the girls, is she navigating xyz milestone?” And sure enough over the next day or 2 we will see that happening. All the sudden Audrey is starting to talk and just last week you were saying that the areas that help with speech were coming up. It’s so amazing you are able to tell what their body is navigating based on the stress in their nervous system!

My husband is a dentist. We tell patients to get their teeth cleaned twice a year. Why would it be any different with the nervous system? It’s the same type of scenario- we want to be as proactive with health as we can as a family. Having you guys here during every phase of our life for support is so wonderful. Historically, people say “oh you don’t need to go to the chiropractor unless you are in pain”, but you don’t have to be in pain to reap the benefits of chiropractic care. It’s such a useful tool to have in our toolbox to help use navigate life stress. We are so happy we are here, we wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.

My biggest problems before starting at Congruent was the pain I was having in my neck and my knees, constipation, and hair loss. Within the first month of care I was already starting to feel better! I had a lot of stiffness and pain in my neck before and that has improved so much! I can move and not have issues now. I have noticed a huge improvement in my digestion as well. Before care, I was having issues with constipation and chiropractic has helped relieve that for me. Additionally, I was having some issues with hair loss and that has finally stopped with regular chiropractic care!

It was huge for me to see such a big improvement from my initial scans to the progress scans. I have always been a person who carries a lot of stress and I am very pleased with the results I am getting. I am able to handle emotional stress better (and so is my husband!). I just feel so much better overall. I am able to be a much more active person now, living life with less pain and stress! You guys have been very professional and caring. You really search things out to figure out what is happening in our bodies and I appreciate that so much.
