Meet Dr. Mitchell Crema
Dr. Mitch is from New Hampton, a small town nestled in the heart of northeast Iowa. Inspired by a football injury to his neck during his formative years, he discovered the transformative power of chiropractic care. Witnessing firsthand its ability to alleviate not only physical discomfort but also mitigate headaches, asthma, allergies and digestive troubles, he started his journey to becoming a Chiropractor.
Growing up, Dr. Mitch was a dedicated athlete, engaging in wrestling, football, track and baseball, where his passion for physical wellness began. As he pursued higher education, he found himself drawn to Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa – the birthplace of Chiropractic, where he not only pursued academic excellence but also found his love for rugby.
Fueled by his unwavering dedication to family wellness, Dr. Mitch is on a mission to inspire individuals to embrace healthy living. Guided by the timeless wisdom of BJ Palmer, whose words resonate deeply with him—”the preservation of health is easier than the cure for disease”—he endeavors to empower communities to prioritize their well-being. Being proactive in their health rather than reactive.
Dr. Mitch is thrilled to introduce mobile chiropractic services to the vibrant city of Des Moines and its neighboring communities. By bringing chiropractic care directly to homes and workplaces, he aims to make holistic health more accessible and convenient for everyone.
Dr. Mitch has done extensive training in a variety of chiropractic techniques, enabling him to provide comprehensive care for a wide range of people. Notably, he is certified in the Webster’s technique for pregnancy, endorsed by the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA). He is well trained in Blair Upper Cervical Technique, a gentle and precise technique specific to the upper bones of the neck. Additionally, Dr. Mitch is well versed in Gonstead, Thompson, Toggle, Diversified, Activator, and Sacral Occipital Technique, ensuring that he can effectively address the unique needs of each patient.
Outside of his professional pursuits, Dr. Mitch finds solace and joy in the great outdoors—hunting, fishing, and intramural sports. He loves embarking on road trips with his wife and son. Whether exploring nature’s wonders or fostering connections within his community, he remains committed to promoting holistic health and wellness, spreading hope and positivity wherever he goes.

"I’ve had only a few sessions with Mitch and I can already tell he’s different from other chiropractors I’ve been to, in a very positive way. I’m seeing really positive changes already, and I’ve been dealing with a chronic back injury for the last 3 years. He takes time to evaluate my body thoroughly and listens to my own observations and concerns about my body. I’ve never had a chiropractor take more than 2 minutes with me, and usually in that time I feel rushed to get my questions or concerns in, so I was pleasantly surprised with the time he spends with me. Mitch is very talented at what he does and I would highly recommend him!"
-Paige

-Jordan
"Mitch has treated my entire family over the last 6 months and we’ve had nothing but positive experiences. He is kind and knowledgeable and the fact that he can come to our home makes getting our adjustments done 100 times easier! I recommend him to everyone:)"
-Audra
"Dr. Crema is so thorough! He makes sure to listen to his patient and adjust based on the issue instead of doing the same practice each time. He has helped my family so much and we are very grateful for him."
-Stacy
"I have been going to the chiropractor for about a year with no changes. I was in and out in less than 5 minutes. Then found Mitch! He takes his time and educates you on what he is doing and why. I have never felt better in the time he has adjusted me. I highly recommend seeing Mitch if you are in pain or even don’t have pain and want to live a healthier lifestyle. He really knows his stuff!"
-Kelsey
"Dr. Mitch does an overall head to toe assessment on day 1 because what we are finding out what may be presenting as symptoms may not be the true problem. He does not focus on one area but looks at the body as a whole. Cares what I have to say and how Im feeling each appointment. Great experience."
- Kirsten
"Dr. Mitch has been wonderful in helping our fussy baby! He is gentle, personable, and great with little ones. At about 6 weeks old, our son was spitting up SO much more than any of our other children ever had. He was inconsolable at times, and it broke my mama heart. I kept hearing, wait it out he'll probably grow out of it...I wasn't okay just letting him be in pain.
I was shocked that he was so sweet and calm during his adjustment - the baby that cried non-stop if he wasn't in my arms. After each of those first few visits, he was a pooping machine - clearing out made him a happier baby. Keeping his tiny spine in alignment made him happier too - no more craning his head and neck back to the right side all the time (which looked painful and unnatural even when he wasn't crying while doing it). The excessive spitting up has been a bit of a roller coaster, good early improvement, a bit of a recession, some more improvement, and so on. It's a process, but there has been definite and visible improvement, and elimination of the pain element!
We are so thankful for the care and the education that we've received from Dr. Mitch. The visible improvement it has brought to our baby's life has been a blessing to him, and to the rest of our family!"
-Jennifer
"I was seen by Dr. Mitch when he was in Fort Dodge IA and highly recommend him. He was very attentive to my concerns and found the root of the problem each time I was adjusted. His knowledge and skills always made me feel better leaving."
-Olivia
"Dr. Mitch has been extremely helpful with diagnosing and correcting the chronic tension and pain I had been having in my neck and upper back. I would highly recommend everyone go in to see Dr. Mitch for a visit - it is surprising how easily you can get used to putting up with chronic pain instead of getting it fixed before it turns into something that is not easily remedied."
