Chronic Pain & Fibromyalgia Chiropractic Care
Dr. Dale Kimberlin, Kimberlin Chiropractic Health Systems
Chronic pain persists for weeks, months, or years, while fibromyalgia is a complex disorder causing widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and tenderness that affects how your brain processes pain signals. The ongoing struggle often leads to emotional distress, creating a cycle that requires treatment addressing both physical and mental health. Chiropractic care offers a non-invasive, drug-free approach that targets pain relief while reducing stress and promoting the mental clarity needed to manage chronic conditions effectively.

I’ve been adjusting patients for 25+ years now. If you’re looking for a doctor who knows what he’s talking about, you’ve come to the right place.
Understanding Chronic Pain and Fibromyalgia
Chronic pain persists for weeks, months, or years from sources like arthritis or back issues—unlike acute pain, it continues after initial causes are treated, causing complex physical/psychological challenges.
Fibromyalgia as a Complex Disorder
The Physical and Emotional Impact
Chronic pain creates depression/anxiety cycles. Holistic chiropractic care addresses both physical adjustments and mental health for comprehensive relief.
How Chiropractic Care Addresses Chronic Pain
Improving Spinal Function and Nervous System Health
Spinal adjustments reduce nervous system stress, improve mobility, enhance nerve function/circulation—targeting root causes for long-term relief.
Specialized Fibromyalgia Treatment
Comprehensive Health Approach
Finding the Right Chronic Pain Chiropractor

Patient-Centered Approach

Positive feedback from others can provide reassurance about the quality of care and the chiropractor’s ability to address chronic pain and fibromyalgia effectively.

Discuss medical history/symptoms, followed by posture analysis, range of motion tests, and possible X-rays to assess spine condition.

EXCELLENT Based on 11 reviews Posted on Reagan Hoffman Dr. Dale is so great! I’ve had neck pain and a slight curve in my spine that has always caused me some sort of pain. Since going to Dale I have been feeling so much better with little to no pain at all! Dale is very knowledgeable and makes every visit not a “chore”. I highly recommend Kimberlin Chiropractic!Posted on Kyle Ledin I injured my leg with a fractured fibula and was told I tore every ligament in my knee that was possible. I was going to need complete reconstruction of my knee with one possibly two surgeries. Dr. Dale had me come in for laser treatment for swelling and pain control mostly but said it could also help with healing. Wow - I saw immediate improvement with swelling and pain. Then as I started physical therapy my PT was very impressed with how far I came within just a couple of weeks. Within three weeks, my surgeon was surprised with my range of motion and progress and I was told I would only need ACL repair with maybe some meniscus clean up. I would not need complete reconstruction surgery. I continue to receive laser treatment leading up to my surgery and hope to receive laser for some post surgery pain control and healing. I highly recommend Dr. Dale for chiropractic care and to see what laser treatment can do for you!Posted on Dawn Ledin Dr Dale has helped me with some chronic hip pain and now working on some arm/elbow pain. My hip pain is completely gone!! Using chiropractic and laser treatments. He also has helped my son a ton with a knee injury. Highly highly recommend!Posted on Stacey Kimberlin Best chiropractor in town! He takes a holistic view of his patient and spends the time necessary to tailor treatment to the specific needs of the person in front of him. I’ve been to several “assembly line” chiros who do the same manipulation every time regardless of symptoms and underlying conditions. Dr. Dale is not one of those. I can’t recommend Kimberlin Chiropractic enough. ❤️🩹Posted on Jackson Very nice and inspiring man! Definitely has my best interest in mind.Posted on Jennifer Ferguson Dr. Dale is phenomenal. Having gone through the windshield of a car in my 20’s, I have spent most of my life dealing with constant back pain, headaches, and loss of full range of motion in my neck. I have seen several chiropractors over the years and in my opinion, Dr. Dale is by far the best! He delivers results. Dr. Dale listened to my concerns, asked me lots of questions and explained how chiropractic care could help with the issues I was having as well as my overall health. He is very knowledgeable, listens, and answers all my questions. It’s clear that he cares and wants to truly help people heal. After just 1 month of care, I am happy to say that I am no longer taking medication for pain, I can fully move my head and neck, and the number of headaches I’m having are almost none. Overall, I have more energy and feel great! I am blessed to know Dr. Dale Kimberlin and highly recommend Kimberlin Chiropractic in Ankeny, IA!Posted on Jason VanHoozer Been fighting with a static never issues and severe back pain for years. Never believed in chiropractics before. Ever. I saw what Dale has done to help my wife after going through cancer and neuropathy with her leg is amazing. Made me want to try it. Results have been unbelievable. Been going now for about a month and can't even tell u how much better I feel. Thought this was all a joke. It's not. This is the real deal. Can do so many things I couldn't do do before.Posted on Tara Osborn 2 years ago I was diagnosed with cervical cancer during my internal radiation it severed my L5 and S1 nerves which left me with no feeling in my right leg knee down. After many tests and appointments in DSM I was referred to Mayo. At Mayo I received a diagnosis of Radiculopathy and was told basically that with PT and time I may get 70% back. After a few months with Dr Dale, with his knowledge and newer techniques I am walking so much better my pain in my back has gone from a 10( worst pain and all the time) to a 4. Dr Dale has given me my independence back and a hope that I can drive again!! I can’t thank him enough!Posted on Micah Meyer Posted on Randy Strong Dr. Dale chiropractor extraordinaire is a fantastic human! His expertise and chiropractic is unmatched as far as I’m concerned!
