Why Crescent chooses Schanuth Family Chiropractic
Tucked at the base of the Loess Hills just north of Council Bluffs, Crescent calls itself the Heart of the Loess Hills — home to Hitchcock Nature Center and the metro's only ski hill. With I-29 running right past town, our office is only about a 12-minute drive south. For a small community where the nearest care can mean a longer haul, that quick, easy trip is a real advantage — and patients find free parking at the door and same-week openings with Dr. Nate Schanuth.
It starts with a thorough exam — including X-rays for most patients — and a plain-English explanation of what we find. Then we work on the actual cause with a plan to get you out of pain, and once your pain is resolved, we transition you into long-term wellness care to keep your spine in the best condition possible. From Loess Hills hikers and trail runners to farmers and families, every patient gets care tailored to their goals — not a one-size-fits-all package.

What our patients say
“Timely and efficient, no waiting and thoroughly discussed issues and treatment plan. So far I have made solid gains!”
“1st visit went great, front staff explains everything very well. Dr listened and noted everything in detail. Explained and demonstrated what each step and what was happening and what to expect. I’m hoping this will be the answer to alleviate years of constant pain and discomfort.”
“I always get the best treatment and my appointments are quick. I had some extra discomfort in my back and Dr Nate made sure my adjustments were directed along those lines instead of my usual adjustments. He also offered a few ideas for stretching to work on my discomfort as well. Best costumer service ever! Thank you for helping keeping me adjusted.”
