Our Mission

Our mission is more than delivering a health service. We champion a culture of healthy living in our community and create an environment where people can thrive. That is why we believe wholeheartedly in natural and alternative treatments that help the body function the way it was designed.

Healthcare has changed. Some changes have made amazing transformations possible, but the pace of traditional healthcare often removes personal attention. We bring it back with a concierge approach to personalized, innovative care.

Meet Dr. José Hernández, DC

Dr. José graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic. As an intern, he worked directly with practicing chiropractors to deliver high quality patient care and mentored underclassmen in Active and Passive Care techniques that help patients progress quicker and stay better longer. In his final trimester, he worked alongside a board certified pediatric chiropractor, caring for mothers and their children.

These experiences taught him to care for a wide variety of conditions. His mission is to help people reach their full health potential through natural chiropractic care so they can live life to the fullest. Giving back to a community has long been his dream, and he found that community in Ankeny. Outside the office, he spends time with his family and golfs any chance he gets.

Meet Dr. Nicole Hernández, DC

Dr. Nicole grew up in Albia, a small town in southeast Iowa, and was an avid track and cross country runner. While running at Wartburg College in Waverly, she developed severe neck pain that stopped her from running. A chiropractor adjusted her and gave her neck exercises, and she was running again the next day. That experience inspired her career.

After earning her bachelor's degree from Wartburg, she spent almost four years at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, where she also served as a Technique Assistant. She graduated in 2018 and served the Ames community for a year and a half. Dr. Nicole is trained in the Webster technique for pregnant moms, as well as Activator and Diversified techniques. She enjoys reading, cooking and DIY projects, and time with Dr. José, their two daughters and their two dogs.
