Ryan and Christine Bowman Graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1999. They have practiced in Iowa City or Coralville since that time co-managing a clinic that ranks in the top 5% of chiropractic clinics in the country. Bowman are known for leading by example in health and wellness. They understand that patients appreciate receiving care and advice from doctors that live a wellness lifestyle themselves.
Besides the fact that adjustments are most helpful, all the staff members are so friendly, positive, and upbeat. As I've told you before, I admire that you are always researching and passing along new information. I love Carrie's massages. Hi, my name is Ashton, I'm from Iowa City. I came in with lower back pain, and shoulder pain, and neck pain.
Back pain in Iowa City is all too common. Most individuals will suffer from some type of back pain at some point or another. In fact, research shows that over 30 million individuals are dealing with back pain right now and that 4 out of 5 individuals will deal with back pain in the future. With these astonishing figures, it's easy to see how back pain is the primary reason Americans become disabled.
Headaches and migraines in Iowa City are painful and affect a great number of individuals. If you are unsure whether you have experienced a migraine before then more than likely you have not. This is because a migraine is often incredibly debilitating, leaving suffers near paralyzed out of pain. Conventional medicine utilizes OTC or prescription medicine to deal with the pain, but for many individuals, this does little to treat the underlying issue.To treat your migraines at the source, you need to visit an experienced chiropractic clinic in Iowa City.

This was a truly life changing experience. I was unable to stand or walk more than a few moments without sitting down before falling. I was using a motorized chair for any walking or having to stand for a while (example: in a line). After 3 months of laser, oxygen and pulse wave treatments I am now able to walk normally and stand a long time without balance or leg fatigue as my blood vessels have gotten better and rebuilding themselves. The result is independence and overall feeling healthy again! I wish I had heard about this earlier.

Dr. Ryan is the most amazing chiropractor and the 7th one I saw before finally getting help for my vertigo. He is extremely intuitive and understands more about the nervous system, as it related to my issues, than any of the neurologists I saw when I was seeking help (This includes UIHC and Mayo Clinic). When I first came in, I was worn out from exhausting my medical options and tired of explaining my story (to get looked at like I was nuts). Dr Ryan was extremely kind and straightforward and never made me feel crazy. The staff is fantastic, super sweet, and always make me feel welcome. ALL THE STARS!

This team is the best! I took my 4 wk baby here that refused to eat anymore cause he was hurting so bad! 1 adjustment and he was a different child! Eating well, and very happy and relaxed! Dr Christine has also done WONDERS on his cranial! Dr Christine has made special trips to the office on her day off to adjust us and their receptionists are TOPS!

Super friendly, helpful, personal, EPIC! One day my child puked all over herself right before we got there. One of the receptionists came and cleaned her up while I took my other child to the restroom, and before we left she had cleaned up the carseat and put it back in my vehicle for me. THAT, my friends, is SERVICE! WE WILL BE FOREVER GRATEFUL FOR THE STAFF AT BOWMAN'S CHIROPRACTIC!

Very professional and friendly staff. After hesitating for several years to see a chiropractor for neck and back pain, I am grateful for a friend recommending the Bowman Clinic. I am receiving pain relief even after one visit. I will hesitate no more. Many thanks.

It is without hesitation that I highly recommend seeing Dr. Bowman for any musculoskeletal issues you may be experiencing. He and his staff are wonderful. As a former athlete and very active and healthy person now in my 30's, I've been seeing Dr. Bowman for a couple of years at this point. My first visit was a consult about a previously sprained ankle that wasn't fully healed.

Since going through successful treatment for my ankle, he has successfully treated a shoulder sprain, a hip issue, and a knee issue, and continues to fine tune all aspects of my body on a monthly basis. It is incredible peace of mind knowing I can go to him in the event of any sport-related injury. Dr. Bowman is extremely knowledgeable about anatomy and physiology, and does such a great job of explaining the functions and mechanisms behind the musculoskeletal issues I've been having over the years. He offers and uses a variety of innovative technologies and techniques that serve a wide range of health issues.

I've suffered from chronic shoulder and neck pain for several years and during that time I searched for someone who could help me. I tried Neuro reset therapy (NRT), acupuncture, massage, chiropractor, physical therapy and even cortisone shots. Any relief was temporary and daily pain was my norm. I was referred to Bowman Chiropractic and started seeing Dr. Ryan in July 2020.

After consult Dr. Ryan recommended pulse wave therapy combined with adjustments and laser therapy. This wasn't the usual one size fits all model that other providers prescribed to me so I felt hopeful. It wasn't an easy ride and Dr. Ryan kept it real, never over promising, but always reminding me where I could be if I kept going. He set timelines and goals and evaluated at those marks.

Fast forward to 6 months later and I am rid of daily pain in my neck and shoulder. I am sleeping better and my headaches have decreased significantly. I can do normal tasks like use a knife to cut, reach above my head to grab a dish or even turn the wheel of the car without experiencing pain. I can even pick my daughter up and carry her again! I am starting to incorporate upper body exercises back into my routine as well and I am mostly pain free.

My life has truly changed thanks to Bowman Chiropractic and Dr. Ryan has helped me in other areas of health and wellness too, including gut health and stress management. I am thankful to be under the care of Bowman Chiropractic and team.

Very happy with my time spent at Bowman. Went to do Neurofeedback training for my anxiety. I can definitely notice the differences in before and after doing the training. Highly recommended.

Prior to coming to Bowman Clinic I had no idea that my lack of balance and maddening restless leg syndrome were being caused by damage to my nerves. I didn't exhibit what I thought were typical symptoms of neuropathy. I had explored vein surgery, magnesium and iron supplementation, physical therapy, and acupuncture, yet I still wasn't getting much relief of symptoms.

I knew something wasn't right. My gait was off. My leg muscles were not strong enough for regular exercise. I feared I might fall during exercise. I began the treatment process skeptical but committed to seeing a result whatever it might be and committed to doing the daily home regimen. Within the first month of treatment my restless leg issue was greatly improved and I could fall asleep easier because of that.

I noticed my O2 saturation was 3 percentage points higher the day after treatment despite having very compromised lungs. My feet were no longer blue in appearance. Steadily, I began exercising again - my legs did not tire as quickly and I felt sure footed. The primary effects of this treatment were great, but the secondary effects that are the result of fixing what most would consider the least of my problems - mild neuropathy - have been the most noticeable and remarkable.

I don't wobble when I walk; I am more flexible; I can move without exhaustion; an old cycling problem called Morton's neuroma is now gone. And most delightful, I lost 35 lbs. during the course of treatment.

I can't recommend Bowman Chiropractic enough. I work as a trainer and group fitness instructor, and I am an avid weightlifting enthusiast. Unfortunately I have been dealing with chronic knee pain for the last four years. I tried many different modalities of treatment, but even physical therapy at a sports medicine clinic did not fix the issue. I was beginning to worry about the effect of the pain on my career as a fitness professional. Luckily a fellow trainer recommended that I make an appointment at Bowman.

I am so glad I did-within four weeks of treatment my knee pain is completely gone, and it has stayed gone. Being free of chronic pain is a life-changing experience. I can fully pursue my passions and perform at full capacity in my work. It's the joy of getting my life back and being myself again. To anyone suffering from chronic knee pain or other pain, I highly recommend the amazing team at Bowman Chiropractic!

I contacted Bowman Chiropractic Associates to see if I could get some relief from the lower back pain I was having. I found out I had a pinched nerve. After a few weeks of regular adjustments my back pain was gone, and I started to notice that I wasn't having regular headaches anymore either. I had severe headaches almost daily and thought it was something I had to live with. Now I get one once a week if that. I would highly recommend Dr Kevin. He and his team are great!

Our entire family (2 adults, 2 children) has been seeing Dr. Ryan regularly since we moved to Iowa City in 2014. We have always been a fan of chiropractic maintenance and grateful to have found Bowman Chiropractic. Dr. Ryan and his team genuinely care for their patients, provide excellent care and expert advice for overall health. We appreciate the warm welcome upon arrival of each visit, ease of scheduling (or rescheduling at the last minute), clean environment and flexible hours. We highly recommend Bowman Chiropractic!

My family and I have been patients of both Dr. Ryan and Dr. Christine for many years. Not only are they tremendous doctors, they are truly wonderful people to know. They are passionate about the quality of care they give their patients. I appreciate that they continue to educate themselves to stay on top of things and are more than willing to take the time to fully investigate, diagnose, explain, and provide options for treatment.

They treat everyone with patience and kindness and genuine concern for their overall health and well-being. I am grateful that they were able to recognize a major problem with one of my children that neither of their pediatricians had found. Their flexible scheduling along with no or very little wait time is very convenient and their caring, non-judgmental, professional yet informal atmosphere makes for a very comfortable experience. I have total trust in Dr. Ryan and Dr. Christine and highly recommend them both.

Dr. Bowman is a great chiropractor and person. His staff is very kind and are great workers. Every time I come in to get adjusted I feel much better when I leave. He is really good at working with my pain and he educates me on how to help my body recover efficiently and effectively. I really appreciate everything Bowman Chiropractic does for me and my family.

I love Bowman Chiropractic! From the moment that you walk in the door it's always a positive and accommodating experience. You are greeted by name from the smiling face of either Sarah or Jessica and then you're quickly on your way for your adjustment. All of the doctors at Bowman Chiropractic are great at what they do and I would trust any one of them to care for me.

I primarily receive my care from Dr. Ryan Bowman. He is truly skilled at his craft and takes a personalized approach with all of his patients. He asks questions before, during and after the adjustment, both about general health, but also about life and any changes in routine or behavior. He also makes suggestions on additional ways to continue improving my health outside of chiropractic care.

You would be amazed to know all of the things that chiropractic care can correct. I strongly encourage anyone, not just someone with neck or back pain, but anyone who feels that their body isn't functioning and performing the way that it should, to reach out to the staff at Bowman Chiropractic and set up a consultation today. It's immediately obvious, that their team has a vested interest in getting your health back on track for you.

Take the steps today to start feeling better tomorrow. That's what I did several years ago when I had a consultation with Bowman Chiropractic and I've been a patient with nothing but good things to say ever since!
