At Multicare Health Clinic in Sioux City, Iowa, our chiropractors, physical therapists and medical providers work together to evaluate and treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, nerve-related symptoms, injuries, chronic pain problems, mobility limitations and women’s pelvic health concerns.

Because several types of providers and treatment options are available in one location, patients can receive a personalized plan based on their diagnosis, health history, symptoms and goals. Not every condition requires the same treatment, and not every service is appropriate for every patient.
