West Des Moines Physical Therapy

Tired of dealing with pain that won’t go away?

At Ashworth Chiropractic, we build rehab plans around your specific injury and goals — focusing on reducing pain, improving strength, and helping you feel steady and confident again.

If you’ve tried resting, stretching, or medication and the pain keeps returning, there’s usually an underlying movement issue that hasn’t been fully addressed.

During your evaluation, we assess joint mobility, strength imbalances, movement patterns, and how your body may be compensating.

From there, we create a personalized rehab plan built around your injury, activity level, and recovery goals.

Your treatment may include:

Early sessions focus on reducing pain and restoring basic mobility.

As you improve, we progress your program to build strength, coordination, and long-term resilience — helping you return safely to work, sports, and everyday activities.
