Staff is friendly and treatment plan is good however, it is about profit for Healthsource. I know two others who had a diagnosis/treatment plan set up around the timeframe mine was. All of us were told we needed 42 treatments and the cost was astronomical. I was well into my first few weeks of treatment and inquired if I could continue with my exercises at home and only come in for back adjustments to save on my cost. I was told by Sandy that this isnt recommended and she went on to defend all the benefits of the whole plan. I stated I agree it is a great plan or I wouldnt be there but I inquired why I am paying for my PT at Healthsource when I can do all the exercises at home and will continue to do so consistently. She again promoted the whole plan and wasnt interested in just treating my chiropractic needs. I was quite disheartened as I liked her, trusted her and realized that it truly wasnt about me the patient, and all about revenue for HealthSource. My bill arrived soon after and the PT portion was around $120/visit and the chiropractor portion is $55. This confirmed my suspicion as I realized I was being charged around $170 per visit, FAR exceeding what I would pay elsewhere. Ive since got connected with another highly recommended chiropractor who is treating me consistently and I am noticing the benefits. In addition, it is only costing me $50/visit. I feel my new chiropractor has a more honest and cost effective approach at treating my joint health. Because of the staffs "extra friendly" customer service I feel others are easily swept into their high dollar plan like I was initially. I feel a bit scammed by someone I trusted and its not a great feeling.

After spinal surgery and being told Id never fully recover and would use a cane for the rest of my life...I ran into Dr. Bowman at a local vitamin shop. She immediately noticed my difficulties and approached me. With the sweetest disposition you could imagine and a genuine concern for a stranger... She says "I can help you". After telling her what I had been through and what the prognosis was, we scheduled an appointment. After daily visits for months...I walked into her office without the use of a cane. Its now been almost 5 years of continued therapy, adjustments and simple care and concern from Dr. Bowman and her associates. Im pleased to announce, today. .. Although not 100%...I can "do" most things on my own, I can walk by myself and Im able to function daily. It wont be long, but I foresee being able to feel productive and self supportive once again. When times havent been the best and the pain has been unbearable, chiropractic care from Dr. Bowman has been a salvation. God bless each and everyone there that has put forth such efforts to assist me during this path in life... If not for their support, I dont know that Id of even survived. Trust me... The road may be tough... The road may be long... But it is all worth it and Dr. Bowman and all of her associates are in it to win, even when you dont feel you can! Love them ALL!, Genuinely!

I first chose HealthSource based on the convenient location and its proximity to my home. Before meeting Dr. Sandy, I was very skeptical about my visit because I had already visited 4 other chiropractors and they were all bad experiences. I have back pain since high school and I mostly chose to ignore it which progressed into arthritis. I didnt know how bad my back was until I met Dr. Sandy. My initial exam with Dr. Sandy was more informative than all of my previous visits with other chiropractors before her. When my insurance couldnt pay for all the cost, Dr, Sandy referred me to a different location for my physical therapy which greatly strengthening my muscle. Her and her staffs are very supportive and understanding. They will try to help you in anyway they can and if they cant they will refer you to the right places. I definitely recommend people to give this place a try. They also have two great masseuses to work around your schedule if you want to book an appointment. They sometime have free yoga session on Saturdays mornings. If youre unsure of the place, go to one of the yoga sessions and see it for yourself. Its free for members but I dont know about new potential patients. Never hurt to check them out or schedule an appointment- it may change your life, because it did for mine.

I first started going to HealthSource in WDM because it was close and convenient to my office. I had been seeing another chiropractor for many years but wasnt satisfied with the care I was receiving. All of my concerns we alleviated after my first visit with Dr. Candice. At HealthSource I do not feel like I am just a number or like one adjustment style fits all, which I had been used to. My care at HealthSource is personalized from my workouts to my adjustments. Dr. Candice always asks how Im doing or if Ive got any other questions or concerns about my health. In one instance I told her I had a terrible sinus cold and she used a facial massager on me to help clear my sinuses. Not only did it work, but it demonstrated to me that the doctors are more than chiropractors, they are true care providers. I would highly recommend to anyone in search of chiropractic care or anyone who is wondering if better care could be provided, to visit the HealthSource team in West Des Moines. Everyone is friendly, professional, knowledgeable and they truly make a difference.

Dr. Sandy Bowman and the HealthSource team have literally changed the way I think about my body. I have been getting adjusted for about 3 years now, and Ive never felt better! I am a fairly healthy woman in my 30s that works at the computer all day. I dont have injuries or chronic pain, but I do have posture issues and tightness in my neck and shoulders. Regular visits to HealthSource help keep my body aligned. Their unique approach to combining adjustments with physical therapy ensures that I can continue to maintain great health. And when Im traveling or the office is closed and I dont feel right, I have a set of exercises that I can follow to bring relief.

I used to have headaches more than 20 days of the month before I went to healthsource. Ive been to other chiropractors over the years, even upper cervical to give me relief. I went through the whole program and they helped me fix the problem at the source by strengthening my muscles so I could actually support my spine and head. I am now on wellness after completing the recommended care and I am healthier and have at most 3 headaches a month- and only after a long week working at the computer. I am so grateful for the team at healthsource and I just know you will love them!

Ive been under the care of the team at HealthSource since November, 2015. In the last 5 months Ive felt better than I have in years. Dr. Sandy and her team take a whole-health approach and then educate you so you can work together to determine your best course of action. The interest in my heath and well-being is demonstrated by every member of the team, even those I dont see beyond saying "hello" while Im in the office through the personalized conversations they are all able to have. I highly recommend HealthSource in West Des Moines for Chiropractic care.
