Meet Dr. Jennifer Thompson, DC, CACCP, IBCLC

Hi!  I’m Dr. Jen, owner and chiropractor at Balance Chiropractic & Wellness | Ankeny, IA

I specialize in caring for women during pregnancy and postpartum and for babies navigating feeding, digestion, development and overall health and wellness through their milestones.  A common question I get is if I also see adults.  And the answer is YES!  I love seeing entire families, including moms, dads, and kiddos of all ages.

Truly Family Centered

As a mother of 3 daughters, I have a special empathy for my patients who are searching for options and hope for their families throughout every stage of life; from pregnancy, postpartum, newborn stages, infancy and beyond.

I love to share my experience as a mother to connect with patients and their families, because I’ve been in the trenches, and have helped many families just like yours.

I feel like my patients truly are members of my extended family and I make a commitment to be a part of each of their lives. I especially loves adjusting a pregnant mother and then caring for her newborn baby. I delight in seeing children grow, reaching important milestones.

Specialized Training

My post graduate, focused training includes:

  • Webster Certification for pregnancy
  • CACCP: Certified by the Academy Council of Chiropractic Pediatrics (Prenatal and Pediatric Certification)
  • IBCLC: Board Certified Lactation Consultant
  • Advanced training in Craniosacral Therapy (CST)

For over 20 years, I’ve supported families through pregnancy, feeding challenges, colic, reflux, and more

Family First

IMG_1851My first priority is my family.  My husband and I have been married since 2010, and our three daughters, Emma, Lucy, & Vada keep us busy outside of work.  I’m a volleyball mom and dance mom, and love watching my girls do the things that bring them joy.

I love to read, spend time with my family and our dogs, and am active in my church including serving on boards and being involved with the youth.  My husband and I are DIYers, and usually have some project in the works in the house or the yard.

I invite you and your family to become part of our family.

Call today to schedule your first appointment.
