Meet Dr. Holly Crowson
Finding a Natural Fit in Chiropractic
“I loved science and anatomy in high school, but it wasn’t until I was in college that I discovered my true calling in life. I was a sophomore pre-med major at the University of Northern Iowa (UNI) with no clue what I was going to do when I graduated. My academic advisor pushed for me to make decisions about my future for graduate school. She suggested I attend a few of the club meetings on campus, and there was a club for every career.”
Dr. Holly attended one meeting of the pre-chiropractic club, and that’s pretty much all it took.
I knew when I walked out of that meeting that I wanted to be a chiropractor. It just fit with everything I already thought and believed in. It was truly one of those epiphany moments.”
Obtaining a Rigorous Education
“I received my undergraduate degree in biology with a minor in chemistry from UNI in May 2003. I was also a four-year letter-winner on the university’s dance team.” After UNI, Dr. Holly attended Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa and graduated magna cum laude with her Doctor of Chiropractic degree in October 2006. “I chose to attend Palmer because it is the Fountainhead of Chiropractic, established by D.D. Palmer, the founder of chiropractic.
One of her fondest memories of chiropractic school is the clinic abroad trip Dr. Holly participated in June of 2006.
I traveled with fellow students and field doctors to underprivileged areas of Fiji to give free chiropractic care in churches, schools and community centers. It was truly a life-changing experience.”
For Dr. Holly, there were several times on the trip she was in tears: tears of joy, tears of sadness and tears of appreciation.
To further her education, Dr. Holly has completed a 360-hour postgraduate Diplomate in Clinical Chiropractic Pediatrics (DICCP) through the ICA Council on Chiropractic Pediatrics, of which she is a member. She is also a member of League of Chiropractic Women and Grimes Chamber of Commerce and its board of directors.
I hold the prestigious Diplomate in Clinical Chiropractic Pediatrics from the ICA Council on Pediatrics (2015). This specialized training allows me to provide expert care for children and families.
Staying Healthy and Active
“Looking back I wish someone would have suggested I go to see a chiropractor. I had aches and pains while running track in high school, playing volleyball and years of dance. I remember someone saying it was just growing pains.
Well, if I knew then what I know now, I would know that they had no idea what they were talking about. I felt like chiropractic care was a secret no one let me in on!”
Dr. Holly receives continued chiropractic care on a weekly basis. “In my adult life, I couldn’t tell you the last time I was not feeling well because I am never ill. I have never called in sick to a day of work thanks to a healthy immune system from chiropractic care.”
Since moving from the Kansas City area where she practiced for five years, Dr. Holly has enjoyed spending more time with her family. Her hobbies include hot yoga, golfing, traveling and watching movies. She also enjoys spending Sundays in the fall watching the Kansas City Chiefs play.
I married Jonathan in June 2018, and together, we’ve been blessed with two beautiful children. Family is at the heart of everything I do.
