We are located at 14225 University Avenue in Waukee, right at the junction where Waukee, Clive, and West Des Moines meet.

Our Location for West Des Moines Patients
To be clear about where we are: True Life Wellness does not have a West Des Moines office. Our single office is at 14225 University Avenue, Suite 118, in Waukee, at the junction of Waukee, Clive, and West Des Moines and just north of Des Moines Golf & Country Club. For patients in western West Des Moines, that typically means a short drive along University Avenue, making it easy to fit an adjustment in before work, over lunch, or on the way home.
Chiropractic Care for West Des Moines Professionals and Commuters
West Des Moines is home to many offices, corporate campuses, and long commutes on the interstate. Hours at a desk, time behind the wheel, and constant screen use are some of the most common reasons West Des Moines patients come to see us. Over time, these habits can lead to forward head posture, tight shoulders, lower back stiffness, and nerve irritation.
Dr. Tyler’s approach is to look past the symptoms and identify the specific spinal segments that are not moving or aligning properly. Common concerns we see from West Des Moines professionals include:
- Neck pain and tech neck from long hours at a computer or phone
- Lower back pain from prolonged sitting
- Tension headaches and migraines linked to posture and neck tension
- Carpal tunnel syndrome and wrist pain from keyboard work
- Shoulder pain and upper back tightness
- Sciatica and radiating leg pain
Why We Use the Gonstead Technique
Many people in West Des Moines have tried chiropractic before and felt that every visit was the same routine. Gonstead chiropractic is different. Before adjusting, Dr. Tyler evaluates your posture, uses instrumentation and hands-on palpation to assess each segment, and reviews full spine and motion study X-rays when clinically appropriate. The adjustment is then delivered by hand to the specific segment that needs it, rather than to broad regions of the spine.
The result is care that is targeted, measurable, and built around your findings. If Dr. Tyler accepts your case, True Life Wellness backs it with a 100% money-back guarantee.
Auto, Sports, and Work Injury Care
Busy roads and active lifestyles mean injuries happen. We help West Des Moines patients recover from auto accidents and whiplash, personal injuries, work injuries, and sports strains with thorough exams, in-office X-rays when needed, and clear documentation. Care may include Gonstead adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and corrective exercises to restore motion and support healing.
Care for West Des Moines Families
In addition to adults, we care for children, teens, and expecting mothers from West Des Moines. Our pediatric chiropractic care uses very gentle, specific pressure appropriate for infants and children, and we offer scoliosis evaluation and monitoring for growing kids. Expecting and new moms can learn more about our prenatal and postnatal chiropractic care, which combines Gonstead and the Webster Technique.
Your First Visit
Your first visit starts with a free consultation with Dr. Tyler to discuss your concerns and goals. If care is appropriate, he will complete a full assessment, including full spine X-rays, motion study X-rays, a chiropractic exam, and a functional exam of your feet and posture. On your second visit, he reviews your results with you, explains whether he can help, and recommends a care plan. Routine visits are usually completed in about 15 minutes, which makes ongoing care easy to fit around a work schedule.
