Chiropractor & Owner
Kelsey Pettitt D.C., C.A.C.C.P.
Dr. Kelsey (Eischeid) Pettitt grew up on a farm right outside of Carroll, Iowa. She is the daughter of Bob and Beth Eischeid. Dr. Pettitt attended Kuemper Catholic High School where she participated heavily in Basketball and Softball.
Dr. Pettitt went on to study exercise science at Iowa State University. Shortly after high school, she met her husband, Wade Pettitt at the Carroll Country Club! After working for a few summers with Wade at the golf course, they both moved to Davenport, Iowa where Dr. Pettitt attended Palmer College of Chiropractic.
Since school, Dr. Kelsey and Wade have opened a clinic in Waukee where they focus on reversing neuropathy naturally! With such great success in the Des Moines Area, they decided they wanted to bring this formula back to their hometown.
The Founders
Wade & Dr. Kelsey Pettitt
Wade also grew up in Carroll, Iowa and attended Carroll High School. He is the fourth oldest of twelve kids. He is a two-time Iowa High School State Golf Champion and continued his career at Indian Hills Community College and Drake University before turning pro in the fall of 2008.
Wade played on professional mini-tours all across North America including the Canadian Tour, Gateway Pro Tour, and the Dakota Tour. The golf course, of all places, is where he and Dr. Kelsey first met.
Wade was introduced to chiropractic care as a young child and was lucky enough to experience the health benefits all throughout his life. As a child, whenever he or any of his siblings were sick, his mother would first take them to see the chiropractor. Getting adjusted helped boost their immune system and fight off illnesses much quicker! Wade is excited to educate the Waukee and Greater Des Moines area on the numerous benefits of neurologically-based chiropractic care.

Hi, my name is Susan LaHaise. I’m originally from Southern California and my previous employment was as a department manager at Nordstrom and then went on to be a recruiter at Apple One. Following the birth of my sons, I decided to become a stay-at-home mom.
