WHY WE'RE CALLED
DESIGNED 2 MOVE
As our name suggests, the body is designed to move. The problem arises when that movement is dysfunctional, leading to injury. When this happens, it can be debilitating, keeping you from moving and may lead to more issues. Lack of movement, along with other poor lifestyle choices, leads to chronic diseases (heart disease, diabetes, obesity, etc), mental decline, pain, degeneration, depression, and a poor quality of life. Our goal is and always will be to get you moving, keep you moving, and help you move better! Everyone deserves to live a happier, healthier life where no goal is too big. No excuses, only results!

TESTIMONIALS
The blend of chiropractic care and physical therapy makes sure that treatments last beyond the adjustment. They were able to help the pain I’d been feeling for months on the first visit.
Greg Loeffelholz
I cannot recommend this team highly enough! Other chiropractors have viewed me as a never ending project (and source of income!). The staff at Designed2Move actively tries to work themselves out of a job. Not only do they efficiently treat issues that arise but they also have taught me how to care for my body! This has reduced visits and enhanced my quality of life significantly!
Will Mitchell
Excellent – all the time. They really care about you and your family. They work with you on exercises to help keep your adjustments and to heal from injuries. Very professional and personable staff. Definitely recommend!!

Why Design 2 Move Isn’t Your Average Chiropractor
At Design 2 Move in Ankeny, IA, we do chiropractic care differently—because you deserve more than a quick adjustment and a “see you next week.” What makes us stand out isn’t just what we treat, but how we treat it. Every visit includes a focused mix of hands-on chiropractic care, soft tissue release, active rehab exercises, and movement-based strategies tailored to your body. We also offer advanced services like dry needling, cupping therapy, shockwave therapy, and PRP regenerative medicine—giving your body the tools it needs to heal and stay strong.
Our longer appointment times mean we can actually listen, assess, and work with you in real time—not just rush through a routine. Whether you're recovering from injury, dealing with chronic pain, or looking to move and live better, you’ll experience care designed around real results—not quick fixes.
This isn’t one-size-fits-all care. This is comprehensive, movement-focused, patient-first chiropractic—delivered by a team that’s truly invested in your progress.
