About River Valley Chiropractic

River Valley Chiropractic is a family chiropractic practice in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, located on 31st St. NE. The clinic presents itself as an integrative, wellness-oriented office that combines chiropractic care with exercise, diet, lifestyle guidance, and other supportive therapies. Its website says treatment plans are individualized rather than standardized, with care adjusted to each patient’s goals, symptoms, and physical condition. The practice describes serving people across the lifespan, from newborns to centenarians, and highlights help for concerns such as back and neck pain, sciatica, pain that travels into the arms or legs, headaches, posture-related problems, sports injuries, and other musculoskeletal complaints. The clinic also emphasizes patient education and encourages people to take an active role in improving and maintaining their own health.

The practice is led by Dr. Kent Miskimen, who earned his chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic after completing a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business at UNI. The site notes that he graduated with honors, including magna cum laude recognition and designation as a Presidential Scholar. River Valley Chiropractic says Dr. Miskimen uses a broad, patient-centered approach that may incorporate chiropractic care, physiotherapy procedures, exercise and nutrition guidance, acupuncture, and dry needling when appropriate. The clinic also lists a range of additional services, including massage therapy, Graston Technique, spinal decompression traction, cupping, therapeutic exercises, orthotics, ultrasound therapy, muscle stimulation, infrared heat therapies, and nutritional counseling. Shelley Miskimen is identified on the website as a licensed massage therapist, and massage offerings include Swedish, sports, deep tissue, trigger point, pregnancy, and chair massage. River Valley Chiropractic describes care as progressing through relief, corrective, and wellness phases, with the aim of supporting both immediate recovery and longer term function.
