Welcome to Greater Life Health + Wellness
we're so glad you're here
Life doesn’t take a break, even when you need one.
So, if life won’t slow down, how can you maintain excellent health and do the activities you love despite the stressors life may serve you? First, we must know what true health really is. Is it only the lack of disease and illness, or is it also the presence of balance and well-being? Physical trauma, chemical imbalances, or stressful emotional scenarios can all
throw your body out of whack and create a detriment to your
wellness. It is easy to put your health on the back burner, so we have built our office to be a convenient and informative experience for you.
We want to work with you to help you understand the events happening in your body, how to get back to a state of ease, (before dis-ease arises), plus what to do to maintain it. We are only a phone call away. Reach out to us at 515-386-3446.

Meet the doc
committed to the health and wellness of Greene County
Our team is lead by Dr Philip Heisterkamp. He has been the chiropractor at Greater Life since 2017 and has loved getting to serve the people in his hometown! Dr Heisterkamp is a very skilled chiropractor with a deep understanding of the nervous system and how the body functions. He is known in this community as one who cares about the well-being of his practice members and goes above and beyond to make sure his job is done right, and his people feel well. Philip’s faith in Jesus and bond with family is his biggest source of motivation. His life mission is to create the everyday habits that support a lifestyle that allows giving greater glory to the Creator.
Dr Philip is also husband to Bridgette, father to Elinor and Jack, and friend to many! When he's not adjusting at the office, you can find Philip hosting his podcast (listen here!), watching the Mission Impossible movies, or drinking coffee with his wife.

we can do for you
New patients
your journey starts here
Our New Patient experience happens over the course of three visits. When you call to make your first appointment, our staff will send you an email with a link to the patient portal. That's where you will fill out forms with your personal information, details on what you're experiencing, and signing consent forms. Your three visits will go like this:
Schedule now
Day 1: Once paperwork is complete, you will go back to the exam room to go through three different tests. These tests are a deep dive look into what's going on with your nervous system! After chatting with Dr Heisterkamp about your health history and any issues you'd like him to address, you'll get your first adjustment.
Day 2: On your second visit, we'll do a BIA test - we'll explain in more detail at the office, but that test shows us information on body fat, muscle mass, and hydration status! It's a great test to help us recommend the best changes for your cellular health. This will also be your second adjustment.
Day 3: Your final New Patient visit starts with a simple heart rate test. Dr Heisterkamp will adjust you and review all of the test results with you. After these three visits are complete, we'll go over a treatment plan and get you scheduled for your next visit.

MORE ABOUT US
wellness lifestyle
Here at Greater Life we are all about living a "wellness lifestyle". That means we are always working to take the best care of our bodies as we move through life. Living a wellness lifestyle looks like eating food that's good for us, regularly exercising and moving our bodies, properly hydrating, doing our best to get good sleep, and getting regular adjustments!
We have seen the benefits of this lifestyle in our own lives as well as with our practice members. Here's a short list of things we've seen in our office:
- reduced inflammation
- clearer skin
- improved digestion
- greater flexibility
- fewer headaches
- decreased joint and
back pain
- better sleep
- and more!

Chiropractic care

Chiropractic care for adults and teenagers can make a big difference in every day life! Getting regularly adjusted can help one sleep better, improve digestion, and increase general comfort. For teens or adults involved in sports, chiropractic care can help improve athletic performance as well as treat and possibly prevent injuries. Studies show that teenagers who get adjusted at least once a month have improved brain function and less pain while going through growth spurts and puberty.
Adulthood can put a lot of stress on the body. Chiropractic can help manage stress, improve hormone balance, and relieve the aches and pains that seem to come with age. For those looking to grow their family, chiropractic has been proven to increase fertility in combination with nutritional and exercise changes.
Here at Greater Life we care about the health of those in Greene County! For our advanced practice members, regular adjustments can improve the quality of sleep, improve digestion, and help to prevent injury. The number one thing we hear when our advanced age practice members are leaving an appointment is "Wow, I feel better already!"
Coming into the world can be kind of traumatic - chiropractic can help calm a baby's nervous system through very gentle and small adjustments. Chiropractic care can help improve baby's feeding/latch, digestion, bowel movements, as well as sleep! Adjustments also keep the spine in line as baby grows and develops.
Childhood can also be a little wild - lots of growing and learning and developing going on! Getting regular adjustments can help kids with sleep, potty training, and digestion.
pain relief
and management
Pain can be really difficult to deal with and can get in the way of every day life tasks. Dr Heisterkamp is a skilled chiropractor that addresses the nervous system through spinal manipulation. When a spine is aligned well, your nervous system can function better and actually allow your body to heal itself! This would be considered looking to the root of the issue.
We see a lot of chronic pain walk through our doors, and have seen a lot of practice members walk out better if not pain free! We can adjust you as often as you'd like, but there is usually a component of person effort that also needs to happen: keep moving, drink water, and eat food that's good for you!
All of these things combined will create a great environment for healing and wellness. Give us a call to schedule your first appointment and come experience what Greater can be like for you!

"Dr Philip is the best! Im always happy with the adjustments he makes— I leave his office feeling relieved as I hold a lot of tension in my back and shoulders. The kids also look forward to their appointments with Dr Philip! Happy we have such a great provider in town!!"

"I can’t overstate how much I appreciate Dr. Phil and his team at Greater Life. His passion for health and attention to detail (along with his patience for my collection of children) soar above any expectations I had set by my previous chiropractor. I always walk away feeling physically better and more knowledgeable. Such value is a small town is a rare treat!
