The Vive Method™

5 Simple Steps to Healing & Hope

Step 1 - Discover

We start by listening to your story. From pregnancy and birth to daily life and stressors, we dig deep to really understand what brought you to us and what's going on beneath the surface.

Step 2 - Measure

Next, we use advanced CLA Insight scans and Primitive Reflex testing to objectively measure nervous system stress, tension, and communication patterns.

Step 3 - Connect

We connect the dots between you or your child's health history, scan results, and challenges. This helps us create a care plan tailored to each person's unique needs.

Step 4 - Release

Through gentle, specific chiropractic adjustments, we help calm the nervous system and unlock the body's ability to heal, grow, and function better.

Step 5 - Track

You deserve to SEE the change not just hope for it.

We track it all - through rescans, honest communication, and check-ins - so you can clearly see how you or your child's nervous system is changing over time.

OUR MISSION

At Vive, we believe every family deserves answers, support, and hope, not just band-aids or quick fixes. That’s why we’re on a mission to help babies sleep more peacefully, kids regulate more calmly, and parents feel seen, empowered, and not so alone in the hard moments.

Through CLA Insight Scans, neurologically focused chiropractic care, and heart-centered connection, we uncover what’s really going on beneath the surface, helping calm the chaos in the nervous system and unlocking the full potential of your child (and your family).

Whether it’s colic, constipation, sensory challenges, ADHD, anxiety, headaches, or simply wanting to raise your family well, this is your place. A place where science meets soul, where healing begins with understanding, and where your story matters deeply.

Meet Dr. Leah Renwanz, D.C.

Hi, I’m Dr. Leah, pediatric, prenatal and family chiropractor, sensory kid turned nervous system expert, and mama to three busy boys I adore. I grew up right here in Jefferson, Iowa… and now I get to raise my own family in the same small town I’ve always loved.

I was a colicky baby myself, the kind who couldn’t be soothed easily and that turned into a sensory-seeking, strong-willed kiddo who really needed her socks just right. So when you walk through my doors feeling overwhelmed because your child will only wears one shirt or always has “talks a lot” written on their report card… I get it.

I’ve been that child. And now I get to be the doctor who helps those kids thrive. After graduating from Iowa State, I earned my Doctorate of Chiropractic from Palmer West in San Jose, California, but Iowa was always home, so back home I came ready to serve the families in the Greene County area.

I’m married to my farmer husband Cody, which means I’ve solo-parented through my fair share of planting and harvest seasons. I’m in the thick of balancing sports schedules, school drop-offs, tech limits, picky eating, and trying to get a decent night's sleep just like the rest of you.

At Vive, I bring all of that, my education, my experience, and my motherhood, into every conversation. You won’t just be heard here, you’ll be understood.


I can’t wait to meet you, hear your story,

and walk this journey with your family.

"Helped my youngest whom has PANDAS"

"Dr. Leah has helped my youngest whom has PANDAS ever so much. This is one thing I won't take away as these adjustments keep her central nervous system in check. When she would happen to be in a flare we take extra care with additional adjustments if needed to help her get through it."

- Christy

"Helped with ear pain and headaches"

"Dr. Leah is so attentive to each child's needs. She is quick to get patients scheduled for relief. I have taken all 3 of my children to her starting days after birth and continued care for the past 7 years! She has helped with ear pain and headaches, occasional injuries and adjusted me through pregnancy! I plan to have her adjust my next baby when they arrive!"

FAQs

What makes Vive different?

At Vive, we go far beyond quick fixes or symptom-focused care. Using Insight Scans, primitive reflex testing, and our signature Vive Method™, we uncover the why behind your child’s struggles—whether it’s sleep, sensory, behavior, or development. From colicky newborns to burnt-out moms, we meet you with deep knowledge, empathy, and a clear plan forward. Families aren’t just cared for here—they’re known, supported, and seen.

Do you take insurance?

We don’t bill insurance — and that’s intentional.

At Vive, we’re a cash-based wellness office because we believe every family deserves care that’s proactive, personalized, and affordable, not limited by insurance codes or premiums. Most insurance plans only cover short-term, symptom-based care. That’s not what we do here.

Instead, we design care plans based on what’s best for you and your family, not what’s billable. This freedom allows us to offer the highest quality chiropractic care, designed for long-term health and nervous system support, especially for growing kids and busy families.

That said, if you're on a restorative care plan, we’re happy to provide a superbill that you can submit for potential reimbursement. While wellness care typically isn’t covered, some families do receive partial reimbursement for care addressing specific concerns.

We offer a variety of simple, affordable payment options — often costing less than what you’d pay with insurance. Because in our office, we work for YOU, not for a premium.

Can chiropractic help kids with ADHD or sensory challenges?

At Vive, we take a neurologically-focused approach to chiropractic care, which means we focus on how the brain and body are communicating. In kids with ADHD, sensory processing disorder, or emotional dysregulation, the nervous system is often stuck in “fight or flight” — constantly scanning for danger, overstimulated, and struggling to calm or concentrate.

Through Insight Scans and primitive reflex testing, we’re able to measure exactly how stressed a child’s nervous system is, where the tension is stored, and how their brain is processing input from the world around them. These aren't just behaviors, they're signs of neurological stress.

Gentle adjustments help bring the nervous system out of that survival mode and into a more calm, connected, and regulated state — giving kids more control over their emotions, focus, and physical responses.

We’re not here to “fix” your child, they are beautifully made.
But we can help unlock their full potential, by supporting the system that drives it all: the nervous system.

Why should my child see a Chiropractor?

More and more parents today are choosing chiropractic care as a proactive way to support their child’s health and development — and for good reason.

With modern-day schedules, stressors, and nonstop stimulation, the average child is experiencing far more stress than we often realize. That stress builds up in their nervous system, creating patterns of tension and imbalance that can show up in ways like poor sleep, immune challenges, developmental delays, behavioral struggles, sensory overwhelm, and more.

At Vive, we specialize in neurologically-focused care that looks deeper, not just at symptoms, but at how well your child’s brain and body are communicating. We use Insight Scans and reflex testing to measure how their nervous system is adapting (or not) to the world around them.

Many of our families bring their babies in within days of birth — to help them start life off thriving, growing, and developing at their highest potential. Others come in later, when challenges start to show up.

No matter where your child is starting from, we’re here to support their nervous system in becoming more calm, connected, and resilient. Chiropractic care isn’t about reacting to problems — it’s about laying a strong, healthy foundation before they arise.

Do you see adults too?

Absolutely, we love caring for the whole family!

While many families first find Vive because of their child’s struggles or developmental needs, it doesn’t take long before parents realize: they need support too.

Whether you’re a mom navigating sleepless nights, a dad carrying work stress in your shoulders, or simply someone who wants to show up with more energy and resilience each day — we’re here for you.

Our neurologically-focused approach helps adults regulate stress, improve sleep, boost immune function, and feel more present in their daily lives. You don’t have to wait until something feels “wrong.” You deserve to feel good — truly good — and we’re here to help you get there.

Because when parents are well, kids thrive too.
