Getting Started

No you do not need a referral to be seen at Back in Action.
Do you take walk-ins?
We do not accept walk-ins. Given the personalized nature of our treatment plans to each patient we cannot give the best possible care if we were a walk in clinic. We are by appointment only.
How do I book an appointment?
You can book an appointemt here on the website or you can call our office at (515) 494-6554
What happens at a Discovery Visit?
At the discovery visit we will show you around the office, talk about what is bothering you, and our approaches to care. You will sit down with one of our providers and talk about how we can best approach your care and what our expected outcomes will be. This is also the visit where we will talk costs (based on insurance) and answer any questions that you have. We HIGHLY recommend this visit prior to your new patient visit.
What happens at the first visit?
At the first visit we first go through the new patient paperwork that is sent iout to you prior to your visit. Then we do an orthopedic exam to help us determine what could possibly be the root cause of your pain/discomfort. Based upon that exam and your symptoms we help educate on what could be causing these issues. From there we go into treatment, including but not limited to, soft tissue, adjustments and rehab. Our goal is for you to be leaving the office after your first visit with some level of relief.
How soon can I get in/be seen?
We try to keep at leat one open slot for a new patient visit available each day. If for some reason we are not able to get you in same day we do everything we can to get you in within the week.
