Who We Are

Why We Exist

Our Vision

At Foundations Chiropractic, we’re here for one reason: to help children thrive.

From day one, we’ve been on a mission to create the premier Pediatric Chiropractic practice in the area. While many chiropractic programs focus heavily on adult musculoskeletal issues, we knew families needed something more. That’s why we pursued advanced training under some of the world’s most renowned Pediatric Chiropractors, equipping us to care for even the tiniest patients with confidence and expertise.

At Foundations, there’s no “one-size-fits-all” approach. Every child is unique, and their care plan should reflect that. We obsess over crafting personalized, science-backed strategies to help your child overcome challenges, build resilience, and unlock their full potential.

Our dedicated team of doctors works hand-in-hand with you, empowering your family with solutions that make a real difference. Whether you’re here for specific health struggles or seeking proactive wellness care, you’ll experience a level of attention and results that will leave you amazed.

Our Mission – Expect Miracles
Our mission stems from our faith that kids are designed to be healthy. When we noticed the percentage of children with chronic health conditions like asthma, allergies, autism and epilepsy has been skyrocketing to 40% and continues to grow, our mission also became fueled by need. We know these children won’t simply “grow out of it” like we hear from many pediatricians, but they’ll “grow into” bigger, deeper problems as they grow up. We’re here to change that trajectory. This is a BIG mission, we know! But we also see BIG miracles on a daily basis and we’re big fans of defying the odds.

Chiropractic care first entered my life as a competitive gymnast, where I relied on it for pain relief and performance optimization. Little did I know, it would lead me to discover something far greater—a profound appreciation for the body’s interconnected systems and the incredible power of the nervous system. During my time at chiropractic school, this understanding deepened, and I came to trust in the perfection of the human body as designed by God—capable of healing without drugs or surgeries.

At Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA, I met Dr. Kyle, who not only became my chiropractic partner but also my life partner. Together, we founded Foundations Chiropractic in 2014 and embarked on a mission to transform lives through chiropractic care. Along the way, we welcomed two amazing children into our family—an experience that profoundly shaped my passion for pediatric and perinatal care.

Both of my birth experiences were far from what I had envisioned. My first was a breech homebirth attempt that ended in an emergency C-section, and my second involved vacuum assistance. These challenging experiences were devastating for a mom with a natural birth plan, but they became the catalyst for my mission. They gave me the empathy, determination, and understanding needed to better equip mothers with the care and support they deserve on their own journeys.

These challenges also opened my eyes to what is broken in today’s pregnancy and pediatric care models. I dove deep into preventing these birth outcomes and learning how to care for the babies impacted by these interventions. It was during this time that we connected with world-renowned Pediatric Chiropractor Dr. Tony Ebel and began to understand the effects of birth trauma on pediatric development and overall well-being. We learned about the “Perfect Storm”—a cascade of challenges like colic, ear infections, asthma, allergies, and sensory processing issues that can stem from birth interventions and high-stress pregnancies.
This knowledge ignited a fire within us to bring neurologically-based chiropractic care to our community. At Foundations Chiropractic, we’re passionate about empowering parents to raise a generation of drug-free, healthy, and thriving kiddos. It’s not just what we do—it’s who we are.
Let’s transform your family’s health together!

My journey into chiropractic care began during one of the toughest summers of my life. At 16, I was hit hard with Mono. I couldn’t sleep enough, my throat was swollen to the point where breathing, eating, and drinking felt impossible, and nothing seemed to help. After countless rounds of Prednisone and strong antibiotics with zero improvement, my parents and I were out of options.

Thankfully, one of my dad’s best friends was a chiropractor, and he couldn’t stand to see me suffer any longer. He explained how the nervous system and immune system are intricately connected—it all made so much sense. I started care in his office, getting adjusted twice a day for about a week. Within days, I felt like a new person, and the more I continued care, the healthier I became. That transformative experience sparked something in me—I knew chiropractic was special, and I wanted to dedicate my life to it.

Fast forward to today, and much like my incredible wife, my passion for pediatric and family wellness chiropractic care was amplified by the births of our two children. Let me spare you the details (you can read her bio for the full scoop), but trust me—it was ROUGH. Those challenging experiences pushed us to dive deeper than ever into pediatric chiropractic and neurology, connecting with the best teachers and mentors along the way.

We’ve always been passionate about natural, drug-free, surgery-free healing. But now, we’re laser-focused on bringing that approach to children and families. Our mission is clear: to make neurologically-focused pediatric chiropractic care not just a choice but the first choice for parents seeking vibrant, drug-free health for their kids.
