At Active Family Chiropractic & Wellness, West Des Moines Chiropractor Dr. Colby Nelson has one goal in mind-to help you get back to doing the things you love so that you can live your healthiest, happiest life possible. We believe there's no better time to give your health and body the attention it deserves than now, and we can't wait to be an active partner in your care.

Many of our patients don't come to us because they're in pain-they choose care with us because they've had enough of living life on the sidelines. Whether you're a grandparent who wants to spend more time with your grandchildren, a young adult plagued by headaches or an athlete who can't break the cycle of recurring injury, there's something for you at Active Family Chiropractic & Wellness.

Since I was a child I've always known I would choose a profession that would allow me to help people. I knew in my heart that there was a perfect profession for me somewhere where I could truly affect peoples' lives. It only took me 3 visits to my hometown Chiropractor in Audubon, Iowa to realize the profession I had always been searching for.
Naturally, chiropractic helps traditional neck and back problems, but chiropractic has also produced wonderful results with a variety of other health problems. Here at our West Des Moines chiropractic office we use techniques that help our patients enjoy the fastest results in the shortest amount of time.
At Active Family Chiropractic & Wellness, we offer state-of-the-art testing and programs designed to detect and treat patient conditions earlier, creating an opportunity for reversal and prevention of chronic disease. This results in not only improved health but also helps reduce your risk of expensive and potentially catastrophic health events.

Excellent and nice people from the front desk to Dr. Nelson. I had a horrible headache and dizziness and I walked with a way with both gone. I highly recommend them and will be going back.

Dr. Nelson is always able to accommodate my busy schedule with flexible appointment times. He listens carefully to my concerns and adjusts the treatment to match my expectations. He also offers many services outside of regular adjustments such as weight management and massages. Highly recommend!

They are just awesome. I came in with some major back and neck pain to the point where I had lost the ability to turn my head to the right without pain. They fixed me up in a matter of weeks corrected my spine and now I go in for maintenance. They are friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend them to anyone looking to maintain their health!
