Livewell_logo

Livewell is made up of husband and wife team Dr. Zac Watkins and Dr. Tammy Watkins. Dr. Zac’s specialty is functional medicine, including hormone and fertility support. Dr. Tammy Watkins at Livewell has a passion to make pregnancy and birth the incredible experience it was meant to be! Chiropractic is a must for a healthier and more enjoyable pregnancy. Experience it for yourself!

Studies demonstrate that chiropractic care can potentially decrease back pain during pregnancy and back labor, shorten labor and pushing time, and diminish postpartum discomfort. Prenatal chiropractic care is also beneficial to the fetus and newborn, as it allows for optimal positioning and maximized space. This is intended to allow your child the least fetal constraint and optimal spinal and birth positioning.

Dr. Tammy Watkins grew up in Johnston, Iowa, and graduated with a BA from the University of Northern Iowa with a degree in Biology with a bio-medical focus. After college, she completed a five-year academic course at Northwestern Health Sciences University in Bloomington, Minnesota, where she received her Doctorate degree. She is currently board eligible and continues extensive training in prenatal/pregnancy care from the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association.
