OUR FOCUS
Unlike traditional chiropractors, here at Platinum Chiropractic we focus on Neuro-Structural correction of the spine. To understand what we do, and how what we do is different, we first begin by looking at what is considered normal structural spinal alignment, and what is considered abnormal structural spinal alignment. If, during your examination, we identify structural shifts outside of what is considered normal, then we absolutely understand that you can be experiencing one or more of what we refer to as secondary conditions or symptoms.

Although I grew up in Huxley, I have also lived in California and Arizona. I always seem to find myself coming back home! I am a big believer in chiropractic care and believe that everyone can benefit from care. I have had chiropractic care throughout my life, but haven’t received such quality care until finding Platinum. In my free time, I love to travel, kayak, golf, hike, read, play games and watch movies. I’m a huge fan of Star Wars and Marvel!
Drs. Bret and Lindsey Bartholomew
Drs. Bret and Lindsey Bartholomew are Neuro-Structural Chiropractors and have been serving the Ames community since 2009. By focusing on the neuro-structural correction of the spine, they see beyond secondary conditions (symptoms) to discover the primary condition creating your issues. Much like the foundation of a house, if you are not structurally sound and you have “cracks” in your foundation, your secondary conditions will continue to occur until you fully address the problem.
Dr. Lindsey Bartholomew received her Doctorate of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA in October 2007. Prior to Palmer College, Dr. Bartholomew attended Baker College in Michigan, where she received her B.A. in Business Administration. Following graduation from Palmer College, Dr. Bartholomew continued post-education work in family wellness, pediatrics, and women’s health. She is certified in the Webster technique and has her Certification from the Academy Council of Pediatrics (CACCP) through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA).
