I grew up on my family's farm in Fulton, Illinois where I learned the value of hard work, honesty and integrity. I first became passionate about Chiropractic when my local Chiropractor helped me overcome my severe back pain due to an injury I sustained while playing sports in high school. It fascinated me how knowledgeable he was about the body and how quickly he was able to help me feel better.
Many people in Ames have the idea that chiropractic care is just a great way to treat back and neck pain. While it's true that chiropractic is far better than medical care for such problems, our job at Back In Action Chiropractic is to help you improve you overall health and wellness. Every function of your body is controlled by your central nervous system, and this function can be disrupted by misaligments in your spine.
Back In Action Chiropractic provides chiropractic care to people in Ames, IA. We regularly hear from many people who have never been to a chiropractor. If you've never had chiropractic care, you might be surprised about how it can help you improve your health. Chiropractic was first developed in the 1890s, and it works by restoring the normal and healthy functioning of your central nervous system by adjusting the spine.
If you suffer from back pain, we can help. Back In Action Chiropractic has been helping people in Ames, IA recover from back pain for many years. There can be many different causes of back pain, but Back In Action Chiropractic will first identify the root cause of your pain and then determine the best way to help you recover.
Many adults see a chiropractor to improve their general health and to prevent pain, but did you know that chiropractic is great for kids, too? Back In Action Chiropractic sees many children in our Ames, IA office, and the scientific literature backs up what we see every day: Chiropractic is safe and effective for keeping your kids healthy.

I started going to Dr. Ben shortly after I moved to Ames in 2017 after others recommended him to me. I have since been going quite regularly to get adjustments. He helps me with my moderate back pain, both lower and upper. I stand on my feet a lot at my job (teacher) and going to see Dr. Ben and having him fix me up is what keeps me going! I also have noticed a difference in the quality of my sleep which I am also grateful for!

Would highly recommend! I was suffering with back and hip pain due to pregnancy and since I’ve been going to Dr. Heun, I feel so much better! I also started taking my little girl in for constipation issues, and she has been going more regularly and without as much complaint. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, I’ve even been encouraged to bring my children in to play while I’m with the doctor! Love going here!

Friendly, kind, helpful people. I appreciate the choice between activator or manual manipulation. Really appreciate the Active Release Technique to loosen muscles after adjustment -- extra relief for no extra charge.

Back in Action Chiropractic has been great and has actually helped me feel better! Dr. Ben genuinely wants his patients to get better and doesn’t want to waste their time coming if they have gotten better. He is also very personable and cares about life other than just your injuries.

Ben and his office are kind and knowledgeable. When I hurt two discs in my lower back he was able to get me back on my feet. His ART (Active Release Therapy) has been a huge help to my back problems and helps me stay moving! Easy to schedule and keep regular appointment. A family of integrity!

I came to Dr. Ben with a shoulder problem that had been going on for over 2 years. After seeing a physical therapist, and 2 different shoulder specialists to no avail I gave Dr. Ben a try. Dr. Ben used the Active Release Technique and gave me some simple band exercises. My shoulder is 100% better! Dr. Ben is very professional and very kind and easy to work with. I thank the Lord for Dr. Ben!

Ben is a fantastic chiropractor. Since going to him for my adjustments my back has felt better than it had in a long time. Every time I leave his office I have less pain. Also, he takes the time to get to know his patients. Its awesome that every time I visit they know exactly who I am, and remember some of the contents from our previous conversation, even after a few weeks. That being said he knows life gets busy, and visits cost money; and doesn't insist that I come in weekly, knowing I'll call when I need to come in again.

I was desperate to find relief. Dr. Ben is a miracle worker. After nothing seemed to be working at other places, Dr. Ben used his incredible skills in Active Release Technique with me. Oh....my....goodness! I am certain that Dr. Ben and his knowledge and skills in Active Release Technique are the best kept secret in Ames!
