Osteopathic Care, PLC
DOs who practice with OMT use a highly trained sense of touch to feel subtle changes in tension and tissue quality throughout the whole body and to diagnose and treat areas of strain or dysfunction. Osteopathic practitioners can feel areas in the body that have been affected by past events, including old injuries, accidents, trauma, and/or illness. The body often learns to compensate for these past traumas and injuries, which can lead to current symptom expression (e.g., pain, loss of function, poor healing, etc.) days, weeks, months, or years beyond when the initial event occurred.
Diagnosis and treatment are linked as the osteopathic practitioner works to activate the body’s innate ability to heal by providing gentle and targeted support where needed to return the tissues to a state of balance and allow the body to release strain, trauma, and dysfunction, thereby restoring the system back to health.needed to return the tissues to a state of balance and allow the body to release strain, trauma, and dysfunction, thereby restoring the system back to health.
Almost any condition, disease process, illness or injury can benefit from an osteopathic treatment, as the goal of any treatment is to support the body’s innate healing process.

I have been going to Dr. Heineman for years. Always a great experience. She always works to get me in when needed!

She is a great doctor. Listens and addresses all issues. Provides additional home exercises to strengthen response.
Cheryl H.Verified patient
I am going back. I’m hopeful that her manipulations may release some the fascial adhesions and restore some greater functions to my cervical spine and nerve pathways.

Dr. Heinemann provides exceptional service and her services help with my mobility. I drive 2 hours to receive her services and highly recommend her.

We had a wonderful experience!

Dr. Heineman is an excellent doctor. She adjusts her manipulation techniques to be gentle with my old frail body. I always feel better after seeing her. She is thorough in providing general treatment after analyzing and attending to the specific areas needing adjustment. I never feel rushed. It did take a 3-week wait for my most recent appointment, but in the past I did not have to wait that long.
May 8, 2025Cheryl H.Verified patient
I have seen Dr. Heineman several times over the past couple of years for OMT and it was always a very good experience. She is so personable and provides great hands-on treatment. I highly recommend her.

Dr. Heineman is highly skilled at giving very gentle, very effective spinal adjustments. She takes the time needed to help the spine better align without any jarring adjustments.
December 16, 2024Renee S.Verified patient
Dr. Heineman is an incredible OMM provider. She is able to get my gut muscles and nervous system flowing immediately. I don’t even have to take medication for acid reflux anymore. I would recommend her to anyone with digestive dysfunction.
December 7, 2024Julie M.Verified patient

Highly recommend. Longtime patient.
December 3, 2023Randy M.Verified patient
Dr. Kate was masterful! She sincerely listened to my history, and had ideas about things that would be helpful. Her hands and touch were so gentle, you could hardly feel them at all, but you could definitely feel the impact they were having! She had me so relaxed and at ease, while getting to the core of my issues. She is a magician! Definitely recommend and can’t wait to go back!
May 21, 2023Deena D.Verified patient
My experiences with Dr. Heineman have always been stellar. She carefully listens to me and then her treatments immediately make me feel better. OMM for the win! She is a great practitioner!
April 12, 2023Julie M.Verified patient
Dr. Kate is responsive, knowledgeable, and detailed. She takes the time to let your body tell her what is happening. I believe she is Iowa’s best keep secret in healthcare!
HWVerified patient
Best Osteopath I have used (out of three in my life.) Her treatments are REMARKABLE. Not only is she well-trained in osteopathy, she has a very intuitive way of asking the right questions to maximize the long-term effect of the treatment. She is familiar with other healing modalities such as essential oils, chiropractic, Reiki, etc. and is always interested to hear how our personal healing journey is progressing. Personable, professional, and genuinely interested in assisting us in improving our health, she is wonderful.
PPVerified patient
Finding Dr. Heineman has been a godsend--it has given me a way to deal with chronic pain in my back and hip pain that I've been experiencing for years. I thought the pain was just something I would have to live with for the rest of my life, but OMT has given me great relief. The therapy is gentle and Dr. Heineman is expert at knowing where to focus. I am grateful for her excellent care!
AHVerified patient
We are so grateful for Dr. Heineman’s care. She treated our daughter for lingering, life-altering symptoms she suffered after a concussion. Because of Dr. Heineman’s skill and practice, our daughter healed completely and lives a normal, active life without the headaches, dizziness, and light and sound sensitivity she experienced after her fall. We have and continue to highly recommend Dr. Heineman to friends and family.
LRVerified patient
Dr. Heineman is amazing. Her OMM techniques help to resolve my acid reflux and make it so I do not have to take medications for this condition. Every experience has been wonderful. I highly recommend her services!
JMVerified patient
I feel fortunate in finding Dr. H after my previous physician retired. She’s very attentive & willing to be a team player with me. She’s warm, compassionate and thorough. She is easy to reach and returns calls promptly!! I trust her wholeheartedly!!
MRVerified patient
Grateful to Dr. Heineman for treating my frozen shoulder and associated nervous system pain. Although I had a team of 3 MDs from a research hospital and serious pain blockers, osteopathic care was able to bring relief to my pain and set me on a course to recovery with no drugs or invasive procedures.
SQVerified patient
Dr. Heineman is an outstanding physician who was able to address my neck and back issues when so many others could not. She takes the time to listen. I highly recommend her!
