A Story of Exceeded Expectations
I had the privilege of being invited to a BNI (Business Networking International) West-End Chapter meeting where I first met Dr. David Krohse. Dr. Krohse gave a presentation on ART (Active Release Technique) for knees. Now I must tell you I was not a big fan of going to a doctor for any medical conditions. I tell you this so you will understand the depth of pain I experienced from a high school basketball injury in 1988. The only remedy I was aware of at the time was surgery. Since I knew I would not play basketball again, I did not force the issue. Thus I went for the next 20 years in knee pain. The pain continued to get worse. It became difficult for me to run and to exercise.
Now you understand why I was so intrigued with Dr. Krohse when he said he could perform ART without surgery. I did not believe he could help. I went in a skeptic and came out a believer. I am proud to say Dr. Krohse not only helped to alleviate the pain in my knee, he also gave me a new found respect for Chiropractors. After all he was the first Chiropractor I had the privilege of meeting. Dr. Krohse made a great first and lasting impression on me and my knees.
Thank you for all the work you do.
Respectfully,

Condition of the Month – Knee Pain
Knee pain can be one of the most frustrating conditions as it makes it nearly impossible to maintain decent levels of fitness. Often a knee injury is the starting point of a downward cycle toward poor health and ongoing pain.
Fortunately for Central Iowans, Compass Chiropractic is often able to offer effective nonsurgical solutions for knee pain. Care for knee pain begins with a thorough examination to determine the sources of the pain. These sources can include misalignments of the knee joint, scar tissue around the knee, and increased stress on the knee due to flat feet.
Dr. David Krohse is able to address each of these common causes. Hands-on or gentle instrument-assisted chiropractic extremity adjustments address misalignments in the knee joint. Active Release Techniques is extremely effective at resolving scar tissue around the knee. Flat feet can be supported with recommended off-the-shelf or guaranteed custom orthotics following a digital foot scan to determine exactly what is needed.
If you know someone suffering from knee pain please recommend that they visit Compass Chiropractic before trying surgery. Even if surgery eventually becomes necessary, surgeons around the country are implementing Active Release Techniques into their recommended pre and post surgery rehab procedures.
A no-charge consultation is always available where Dr. David Krohse will thoroughly explain the options for care in a no-pressure environment.
