Past Tense chiropractic is a private practice located in Grimes, Iowa, operating out of a home office. Dr. Kiya is dedicated to providing high-quality chiropractic services and prioritizes the health and wellness of all her patients. By offering services from her home office, Kiya ensures flexibility and affordability for those seeking care. She takes a personalized approach, utilizing her knowledge of nutrition, chiropractic medicine, body work, and massage therapy to enhance your overall wellness by addressing all aspects of your health.
Chiropractic care can effectively treat issues in individuals of all ages. Dr. Kiya has received additional training in pediatric chiropractic beyond standard chiropractic school education. Treatment intensity and techniques vary based on the patient's needs. During the New Patient visit, all patients are screened to determine their suitability for chiropractic care. For instance, older patients may experience bone thinning, making traditional hands-on joint manipulation unsuitable. In such cases, Kiya employs specialized tools like an activator for adjustments. If any clinical reasons arise that prevent a patient from being adjusted, she will direct them to the appropriate resources.
With over a decade of experience in medical massage, kinesiology, acupuncture, and chiropractic services, Dr. Kiya is adept at analyzing your body to create a custom pain relief and rehabilitation plan that enhances your health. Treatment options include chiropractic adjustments, acupuncture, cupping, massage therapy, or a tailored combination based on each patient's unique needs.
Dr. Kiya believes her hands are an extension of her heart, and she thrives on healing others. Known for her fantastic bedside manner, she will make you feel right at home within minutes. Dr. Kiya takes the time to listen to your challenges and assess what is happening with your body. Her focus is not only on treating your existing conditions but also on preventing pain and illness from recurring. With a comprehensive understanding of how the body’s alignment affects joints, muscles, and bones, Dr. Kiya prioritizes helping you improve your quality of life, achieve your wellness goals, and heal your body so you can live your best life possible.

During an acupuncture session, you will lay down and get comfortable on a cozy, warm table while fine, hair-like needles are inserted into specific acupoints. These acupoints are physiologically linked to different areas of the body, and by focusing on them, this technique can help facilitate changes in muscle or organ function. This approach is complementary to chiropractic services and enhances overall alignment, helping to reduce symptoms of various conditions such as stress, pain, headache.

I understand why I get asked the question, only paying a co-pay and having your insurance foot the rest of the bill sounds like an amazing deal, like it's too good to be true! The truth is, sometimes it is too good to be true and there are a couple of reasons why my answer to the question is "no."
Many people don't realize that in order to use your health insurance benefits you have to be diagnosed with an illness. Insurance companies call this "medical necessity" and if you and I can't prove to the insurance company that you need the treatment you are seeking, they can deny your request to use your insurance.
Even if you made it past the initial request, I would have to consistently prove to your insurance company that you are “ill” for me to continue to see you, otherwise they may deny you further sessions. Beyond that, all diagnoses go on your medical record and could be considered pre-existing conditions in the years to come. Pre-existing conditions can have a significant impact on your ability to secure any health insurance coverage in the future. And even if you are able to obtain insurance with a diagnosis on your record, your insurance premiums, deductibles, and co-pays are likely to be much higher, as protections for pre-existing conditions have been, to say the least, scaled back.
I don't want to focus on keeping you ill but instead focus on getting you WELL and therefore have chosen not to deal with insurance companies. I hope that spending some time explaining why I do not take insurance was helpful and informative.
I take cash or cards for all services.
I do not accept insurance- but I do offer competitve up front cash prices.
I am able to take Flexible Spending Account cards and Health Savings Account cards.
While being an out-of-network provider for all insurance plans means I do not file with your insurance directly, I can provide you a receipt which you can submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
You can schedule online using the booking link at the top of the website or by just clicking on the service you are wanting to schedule. You will be redirected right to my online booking webpage. Be sure to schedule a new patient visit if you have not seen Dr. Kiya yet.
Call or text Dr. Kiya to set up a consultation to meet the doctor and investigate your symptoms and past medical history to see if you are a good candidate for care.
Please contact Dr. Kiya with any questions, comments, or scheduling inquiries you may have regarding chiropractic services, massage therapy, alignment, or overall wellness. As your trusted chiropractor in Grimes, she is here to help.
