Dr. Valorie Prahl, DC, CCN, DACBN

True Health is so much more than the absence of pain or disease.  It is living life with joy and fulfilment and without pain and dysfunction.

My mission is to provide each and every one of you with some of the tools and methods needed to obtain the health and vitality you so richly deserve.  I am Dr. Valorie Prahl, a Doctor of Chiropractic and a Certified Clinical Nutritionist and I have been caring for patients since 1985, after graduating from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport.  My first practice was right here in the Cedar Valley and I practiced here for 17 years while raising my daughter and son with my husband, Michael.  Recently, I made a great decision to return to this area and to this office.

Most people seek out my services for the first time due to pain.  Our state of the art techniques and equipment get you out of pain quickly and effectively.  I search for the cause of your aches and pains so they are less likely to return.  Chiropractic care improves the function and motion of joints and enhances nerve supply to all parts of the body.  Many times, Chiropractic is all that is needed to take care of symptoms.  All healing comes from within.  It is this inborn, “innate,” ability that chiropractic care nurtures.

Chiropractic care is the first step but if bodies are not healing they are doing just the opposite.  The only way that the body has to communicate is through the language of symptoms.  Chronic aches and pains, constipation or other digestive problems, headaches, sleep disturbance, low libido, low energy, menstrual disorders, or more are symptoms of a body crying out for help. 

I use a system of analysis called Nutrition Response Testing.  This protocol shows me exactly where to start with each individual patient to design a nutrition program that is right for them.  Even if you eat right, it is increasingly difficult to get all of the nutrients you need to stay healthy.  Specific nutrients may be necessary for you to reach your maximum potential.  Other considerations are toxicity from the environment, releasing negative emotions that hold you back and/or finding balance in a stress-filled world.  I have been doing nutrition testing for years but I have achieved the best results since beginning to use Nutrition Response Testing.  I want to be your health coach, to help you to find the direction you need to improve your health.

I enjoy nature, beauty, adventure and travel.  Michael and I enjoy gardening and entertaining together.  My daughter is married and lives in France with her husband and my two beautiful granddaughters.  My son lives on the west coast. We love it when we can all be together.

I am a member of the Iowa Chiropractic Society, the Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards, and the American Clinical Board of Nutrition.  I have a certification through the International and American Association of Certified Clinical Nutritionists and I have a diplomat status through the American Clinical Board of Nutrition.  I have always stayed active in the community and in my profession.  I served on the Iowa Chiropractic Licensing board for nine years.  In addition to my practice, I work as a Health Educator for a professionals-only line of nutrients.  I am available to talk to your group about a variety of health topics.

Call our office today for a consultation to see if Chiropractic or Nutrition Response Testing is right for you.  Each visit to our office is pleasant and relaxing.  We treat each person as an individual, respecting your needs, your time, and your privacy.  I look forward to being part of your health care team.  Thank you for choosing our office.

In Health,

Dr. Valorie
