Meet Dr. Juliet O'Donnell, D.C.
Iowa chiropractor, applied kinesiology and functional-medicine-informed care, and full-time Anatomy & Physiology faculty—focused on listening first. Her Urbandale practice is built on listening first—then clear, practical steps toward feeling and moving better.
Her story — in and out of the office
Dr. Juliet O'Donnell, D.C., is an Iowa native with over 20 years of clinical experience in chiropractic, applied kinesiology, nutrition, and functional medicine. Patients and colleagues often call her “Dr. O.” She is also full-time college faculty for Anatomy & Physiology—training she uses every day to explain how your body works in plain, practical language.
She has been married for 24 years, has two grown children, and a house full of pets. She is a clinician and professor, but she has also walked a hard road as a patient: a stage 3 breast cancer thriver. That experience shapes how she listens, how she paces care, and why natural, whole-person support matters so deeply to her.
Whether you are dealing with pain, fatigue, stress, or you simply want to move and feel better, she wants you to feel seen. Ask her anything—she understands what it is like to need answers, options, and a calm place to figure things out.
In practice, that same mindset applies: people heal best when they feel heard. Whether you are navigating back pain, neck tension, headaches, pregnancy-related discomfort, or the wear and tear of a busy life, she wants to understand not only what hurts—but what you want to get back to doing.
