A Modern Approach to Pain Relief, Rehab, and Better Movement
At DSM Spine + Sport, we help active adults, athletes, and families in Urbandale, Des Moines, Waukee, Johnston, Clive, and West Des Moines get out of pain, move better, and return to the activities they care about.
Our clinic combines chiropractic care, physical therapy, dry needling, soft tissue treatment, rehab exercise, and sports medicine under one roof. That means you do not have to bounce between multiple offices, repeat your story over and over, or piece together a treatment plan on your own.
You get a collaborative team focused on one thing: helping you feel better and stay better.
More Than Temporary Pain Relief
Pain is frustrating, especially when it keeps you from working out, playing golf, running, lifting, coaching, sleeping, or simply keeping up with your family.
A lot of people come to us after trying rest, medication, online exercises, or quick adjustments that only helped for a few days. We take a different approach.
We look at how your body moves, where your pain is coming from, what is contributing to the problem, and what needs to improve so you can get back to life with more confidence.
Our goal is not just to reduce pain. Our goal is to help you understand the problem, improve the way your body functions, and build a plan that gives you longer-lasting results.
Chiropractic and Physical Therapy Working Together
One of the biggest differences at DSM Spine + Sport is our integrated approach. Our chiropractors and physical therapists work together to help patients recover more efficiently.
Depending on your condition, your care may include:
Chiropractic adjustments and joint mobilization
Physical therapy and corrective exercise
Dry needling
Soft tissue therapy
Sports injury rehab
Mobility and strength training
Movement analysis
Home exercise programming
Return-to-sport or return-to-activity planning
This collaborative model helps us treat the whole problem, not just the painful area.

Built for Active People, Busy Families, and Real Life
You do not need to be a competitive athlete to benefit from sports-minded care.
For some patients, the goal is getting back to CrossFit, running, golf, dance, baseball, volleyball, or weight training. For others, the goal is getting through the workday, sleeping without pain, picking up their kids, or walking without symptoms.
We meet you where you are and build care around your goals.
