Kasi is a wonderful massage therapist. She takes the time to listen to your concerns, intuitively responds to your body’s needs, and focuses thoughtfully on problem areas while applying the ideal level of pressure. Each session is both effective and relaxing. This business is a great addition to Van Meter!

Dr. Ryan Kelly has been instrumental in my professional soccer career. I sustained a cervical spinal cord injury and Dr Ryan played a HUGE part in getting me healthy and keeping me healthy in my career. He has extensive knowledge in his field and also a great attitude to do whatever it takes to help me be at my best and be comfortable with the treatments he suggests. I cannot recommend Dr Ryan enough to athletes who are serious about staying healthy and getting better physically.

My sessions with Dr. Ryan were great. I had come to him with back, knee, and wrist problems from hockey. In just about a month of sessions with him I felt a lot better and healthier. His vast knowledge and skills with different instruments (e.g. shockwave therapy, dry-needling, etc.) allowed for thorough and effective treatment to get me healthy and functioning without pain.

I had an excellent experience at Van Meter Health. From the first visit, the environment was welcoming and professional. Dr. Ryan took the time to really listen, explain the treatment clearly, and make sure I was comfortable every step of the way. I noticed improvement quickly, and I truly appreciated how personalized the care felt. The office is clean, modern, and well-organized. I highly recommend Van Meter Health to anyone looking for quality chiropractic care from someone who genuinely cares about their patients’ health and well-being.

Dr. Ryan at Van Meter Health helped me when I thought no one else could. I’ve seen countless chiropractors and physical therapist for my low back pain and never got much relief. After Dr. Ryan treated me I felt like a new person. I’m able to do things that were not possible years ago. Not only did I get results, but the overall experience was the best. Everything was explained well to me and with great professionalism. Anyone who is experiencing pain go see Dr. Ryan today!! Thank you for changing my life Van Meter Health!
