Thank you for taking the time to look into Compass Chiropractic! I am so excited about the contributions we are making to the health of this wonderful community. My adult life has been defined by two goals. The first goal was to find a profession that I would love each and every day. As a chiropractor, I truly have reached that goal.
Compass Chiropractic is prepared to restore your family members to health or guide them in a lifetime of wellness.
Background: Some of you already know me from working at Compass previously, and after a whirlwind challenging two years, as luck would be on my side, I have returned. Words cannot express how incredibly thankful & appreciative I am to be working here again! I grew up in Western Iowa in a tiny/village called Tennant.
Chiropractic is the most popular form of alternative healthcare in the United States. Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that your entire body is controlled by your nervous system. When spinal or extremity (arm or leg) joints stop moving correctly, they can irritate nerves and tissues in the area, causing pain and other health problems.

I have had chronic low back Issues since for over 20 years in and out of hospitals, ERs, neurologist's and epidurals everything, after 2 visits I can already feel the difference my pain levels decreasing and no pain with walking. Highly recommend.

I really appreciate everything about Compass Chiropractic. From the way you are greeted at the front door, to no waiting room wait times, no pressure for supplements & such "extras" but most importantly for the fact that my care plan is effective and definitely helping, and time is spent explaining it to me. I have now got my husband to go, and he is very happy with his experience as well.

I run a decent amount. I've had constant knee pain for close to a year. I've done PT and have seen a specialist, and haven't been able to draw any conclusions. Dr. Krohse took the time to analyze my running form, noticed something wasn't quite right that was potentially causing the pain, and took steps to correct it. Within days my knee was feeling a lot better, and I'm now back to running almost completely pain free after just a few weeks. Dr. Krohse taking the time to investigate the source of the problem and then implementing the proper treatment has made a world of difference for me. I can't thank him enough.

Dr David goes above and beyond any other chiropractor I've visited. He takes the time to explain everything in detail and it's obvious he cares about his patients!

I didn't want to write a review until I'd been getting treatment for awhile to see if it worked (and I didn't expect it to work right away) but it's only been a week and the pain/issue I was having is already gone simply from the adjustments-also have at home exercises to do but it was resolved before I even started them! didn't even think about it until my husband was like "hey you haven't complained about your shoulder recently." and then I'm like wow no I haven't.

Before I started coming it was always in the back of my mind because it was always uncomfortable/causing tingling in my fingers etc. What impressed me first was dr. David and Sherri helped me learn stretches to do to resolve the issue and prevent it in the long run-which is so important to me because I want it to be fixed, not just temporarily given relief.

I will update this review at the end of my treatment(only have a few weeks which is also cool as a lot of chiropractors just schedule you for endless sessions, big red flag!) I have a lot of other positives for this practice but I'll add those to my updated review since I already wrote a lot! ***one of the most important things to me as a patient is that the chiropractor I'm seeing attended Palmer college of chiropractic and dr. David did so that's awesome as well!

Dr. Krohse and team are fantastic! He spent the time to ask detailed questions and is uniquely qualified to address exercise induced issues given his background as an avid cyclist/runner/triathlete. I appreciate the time and care they provide, getting me healthier every visit!

Dr. Krohse always takes time to listen to where my pain is at and really works to alleviate my pain. He never gives up until he is able to get the relief I need. Sherrie is wonderful to interact with and is helpful.

I took my daughter to see Dr. Krose she said he back was hurting and she was being winney more than usual. He put her on the table and adjusted her and she is a brand new 7 year old. Concentration is better she listen better she give less excuses why she can't do thing. Life is just better after seeing the Dr.

The team at Compass Chiropractic is amazing. They're thoughtful in their treatment approach, knowledgeable, take the time to explain the 'why' behind everything they do, and mix strength training, stretching, and treatment for a comprehensive plan. Grateful for their efforts and my results.

I've seen numerous chiropractors in my long life but this one is more special than the rest. He does a great job at educating the patient and ensuring you understand the mechanics of the body and how it influences pain. He is very skilled but also has an inherent natural ability of knowing how to reduce your pain level quickly. He incorporates instructions on exercises to strengthen and stretch those areas that need the most help. I know of know other that does this kind of thorough care on the body of his patients. I highly recommend Dr. David Kroehse!

Dr. Krohse helped tremendously with my hip/sciatic pain. I don't have to take ibuprofen every day now and can walk 3+ miles without pain.

The idea of chiropractic care was frightening to me so I searched online using "gentle" and found Compass Chiropractic. So very glad to have a treatment that makes me feel better physically. Thank you for your excellent care over the past month.

Compass Chiropractic has helped me feel more like my young self again. After years of being active through softball, volleyball, lifting, etc., my neck and back have been through quite a bit of pain that I have never been able to kick by myself. I'm so grateful for Dr. Krohse, Sheri, and the whole compass chiropractic staff, for being so helpful in making me feel great again.

Not only is everyone so friendly, inviting, and fun- but very well educated and professional in what they do. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for making me feel great again! I cannot recommend this place enough.

As a trained healthcare professional, I would 100% feel confident and comfortable referring patients to Dr. Krohse. He is well informed and excellent at educating his patients. You'll receive exercises and stretches to get to the root of your problem. Sheri at the front desk is fantastic. Overall my most positive experience with Chiropractic.

Wonderful service! They are always kind and flexible with my busy working mom schedule. They have been very attentive to my specific concerns and also give me all the tools I need to work on things outside of my chiropractic appointments. They all around provide genuine and positive care and have helped me immensely.

Dr Kroshe has really helped me almost eliminate my neck and arm pain. He and his staff are great!

I have been seeing Dr. Krohse for about a year. I started going for chronic back pain. His adjustments have nearly eradicated the pain. He and his staff do not just treat you and send you on your way. He takes the time to give you stretches and exercises to help with the pain and to help your body start to heal itself. He treated me throughout. my pregnancy too.

It was my first and everyone told me to prepare for 24 hours of labor and hours of pushing. My baby was born within 12 hours of me noticing I was in active labor, and I pushed for less than an hour. I fully believe this was at least partially due to regular adjustments and Compass's care.

Dr Kroshe and staff are super friendly and helpful and always strive hard to accommodate with convenient appointments. Also, Dr Kroshe's adjustments are spot on and give some immediate relief with pain. You will be happy if you give him the opportunity to help you.

Dr. Krose is a great cyropractor he knows multiple ways to pop the back and get the spine in line. I know this because my husband also sees Dr. Krose. Sherri also does a great job to make you comfortable while you are there. Thank you to both Sherri and Dr. Krose for the wonderful job that you do.

I came to Dr Krohse having battled chronic nerve pain and damage to my wrist for 2 yrs. I had seen 2 different orthopedic drs and had been sent home to live in pain with no hope. Dr Krohse got me out of my brace and able to start doing normal things like writing, dressing myself, and brushing my teeth without being in terrible pain. Everyday is better. I have almost full function and able to do things I never thought I'd ever do again! Thank you Dr Krohse

It has been a great experience. The team took time to explain many things and teach about the importance of chiropractic care. The adjustment went very well too.
