Let us introduce ourselves! We are so excited to meet you.
Dr. Jonah Knous DC, BS
Dr. Jonah was born and raised in Waukee, Iowa, where he graduated from Waukee High School. He knew he wanted to be a chiropractor in high school after seeing firsthand what the power of an adjustment could do. He continued his pursuit at Iowa State University, receiving a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Kinesiology, and attended Cleveland University - Kansas City to complete his Doctorate of Chiropractic degree.
His decision later was cemented after his older sister was diagnosed with Spinal Tuberculosis (TB), a rare form of Tuberculosis located in her spine. Her condition was first found and co-managed by her chiropractor. After reconstructive surgeries and treatments, she continues to receive chiropractic treatments from Dr. Jonah to keep up with her busy lifestyle as a mother and pediatric nurse at Blank Children’s Hospital.
Dr. Jonah has extensive training in the most modern chiropractic techniques to best suit each patient; including Gonstead, Diversified, Extremities, and Activator. He most commonly utilizes an adjustment technique called “Specific Prone” which is gentle enough for newborns and effective enough for the most complex cases.

What Our Patients Are Saying
“I have been a patient at Elevation Chiropractic for over a year, and it has helped me beyond what I could have imagined. I originally sought help for lower back pain that was affecting not only my comfort, but also my posture and even causing me to trip over my own feet at times. The improvement I experienced was so positive that I later asked Dr. Jonah for help with neck pain, jaw/TMJ issues diagnosed by my dentist, and tinnitus diagnosed by my audiologist. All have improved enormously. What stands out most to me is the consistent atmosphere of calm encouragement and professionalism. Dr. Jonah is knowledgeable, gentle, intuitive, and compassionate. He listens carefully, explains things clearly, and never makes you feel pressured. Brooke creates an office environment that is peaceful, welcoming, organized, and encouraging. Recently, I experienced chest discomfort and difficulty taking a deep breath. I knew I could go to Elevation Chiropractic even without an appointment and they would help. Brooke welcomed me in, and Dr. Jonah quickly identified that a rib was out of place. After an adjustment, I immediately felt better. Experiences like this have built a tremendous amount of trust and confidence for me in their care.”

“Dr. Knous is someone I refer all my family and friends to for any chiro needs! The friendly personality of Dr. Knous makes you feel incredibly welcome and almost like you have known him your whole life. I had a pain in my back after playing soccer and went directly to him as I was referred by a friend to him. He quickly identified the issue and in my situation after a couple of visits, the pain was gone and the treatment given was a huge help. He is extremely passionate about his work and taking care of his clients, I feel extremely lucky to have him in the DSM metro!”
— Alex H.
“Dr. Jonah is helping me make significant progress in overcoming my balance, mobility and foot/leg pain issues. I was a hit mess and losing hope that my world was getting smaller after falling 3 times in 18 months. I am confident that I will be able to walk again without the use of a cane. He is highly skilled, friendly, and knowledgeable. Dedicated to finding solutions and restoring hope!”

“I have no words for how amazing this place is! After suffering for years, I finally found relief thanks to Dr. Jonah. In just a few months, he has truly changed my life. The care and treatment I’ve received here are worth every penny and every minute. My pain is nearly gone, and I feel like I have my life back. I highly recommend this place to anyone who’s been struggling. You won’t regret it!”
— Maya N.
“Everything has changed! I've lived most of my life in chronic pain. My husband was going to Dr. Jonah and had told him about my situation. Dr. Jonah asked if I'd be willing to try a treatment plan with him. My entire spine is fused except 3 vertebrae in my neck so I wasn't sure how much help he could give me. Amongst my severe neck pain I also have neuropathy in my leg and lots of shoulder and arm pain. He was very adamant that I stick to 3 treatments a week until we started seeing results. The first change was the amount of nerve pain in my leg and the lessening of the constant muscle cramping from the neuropathy. My range of motion in my shoulder doubled as well in this time period. I recently was able to take a 5 day trip to Arizona where I walked the trails, and was on the go every day. I couldn't believe that I wasn't in excruciating pain during the trip or when I got home. Between Dr. Jonah and my massage therapist I am finally able to live my life without having to focus strictly on my pain. It's still there, unfortunately it always will be, but this is the best I've felt in a long time.”
— Stephanie W.
“Love going here! I've been to a handful of other chiropractors over the years, and the atmosphere here is just different. Typically I've gone to a chiro just to get popped and then leave, which has always felt more just "transactional", but I don't feel that here. Dr Jonah has a personality like he was born for the service industry and helping people in general. And, how he was able to also find Brooke, with the exact same happy/helpful personality, I'll never know! So, for me, it's a "Come for the chiropractic work, stay for the atmosphere"
— Mike Y.
“Dr. Knous made me feel comfortable and told me exactly what was going on and what it was going to take to fix what was going on with me and I already am feeling much better!”
— Kellen R.
“You can tell this place is filled with love and care! Dr. Knous is very intentional and personable. He also made sure I was comfortable during my visit with him. I didn't know there were doctors out there who actually cared about my health and well-being. 10/10 would recommend!”
