Faces Of Waukee: Dr. Chris Zimmerman

May 8, 2017 by admin

Where are you from?  

I’m originally from Sac City, a small town in Northwest Iowa.

How did you come to choose your career?  

For as long as I can remember, my family used chiropractic care as a means to stay active and healthy.  From a very young age, I knew I wanted to help others do the same, and to be able to help them do so in a natural manner still excites me.

How do you express the need for chiropractic care to an asymptomatic person?  

Pain is the last symptom to appear in most diseases, including those of the spine and nervous system.  Going to the dentist after you have pain is like going to the chiropractor after you have pain— you waited too long.  The nerves associated with the spine govern nearly every process in the body, so by preventing spinal problems, you can prevent an endless list of other diseases and problems.

Your practice has recently added cryotherapy to your services, which is still very new to Iowa. Tell us about that.  

Whole body cryotherapy is a process in which we expose a person to extreme cold for up to three minutes, which causes a shift in their body chemistry and nervous system.  The cold stimulus decreases inflammation (the root cause of virtually every human disease and pain), boosts metabolism, enhances the healing process, burns calories and fat, increases norepinephrine (which is shown to improve mental well-being), and, over time, tightens skin.  After serving over 2,000 clients, we are very happy with the results we’ve seen, and it’s a much more comfortable alternative to a 20-minute ice bath.

In this issue, we talk about the game of golf.  Care to share how a visit to Zimmerman Chiropractic can help improve a person’s golf game?  

Your score will improve!  I’ve been in practice for over 13 years and my patients who golf tell me that the number one reason they come in for chiropractic care is because it improves their swing and helps them play better golf.  I try to go into the science and biomechanics of it, but they usually care only about one thing—their score.

City of Waukee Gets A New Look With A New Logo

November 18, 2015 by admin

 Waukee… The Key To Good Living

Old City of Waukee Logo - November 2015After 42 years with the same logo, the City of Waukee announced yesterday evening that they will be rolling out a new brand identity.

The previous, purple and gold key-themed logo, was first introduced in 1973 as the winning design in a City-sponsored contest. However, for this logo redesign, the City partnered with advertising agency Flynn Wright to create a new brand strategy and position.

“Extensive research showed us that Waukee was top-of-mind among metro area respondents, and that people viewed it as a thriving, clean, family-friendly community with great schools and amenities,” said Waukee Mayor Bill Peard. “Based on that research and stakeholder feedback, we set out to update our brand to reflect Waukee’s many assets and to position it uniquely in the marketplace.”

The City of Waukee has selected an abstract composition in a rich color palette that features a “W” amongst intersecting lines to illustrate the various life paths you can enjoy in the community. The motto, “The Key To Good Living” remains as research indicated it truly encompasses the excellent quality of life in Waukee.

New City of Waukee Logo - November 2015

The new logo will be implemented on Waukee-branded signs, vehicles, apparel and other materials this month. Read the full press release for further details on the selection process.
