Dr. Adam Hoogestraat grew up in Parkersburg Iowa and graduated from the University of Northern Iowa where he received a bachelor’s degree in biology. He continued his education at Logan Chiropractic College in Chesterfield, MO. After graduating he practiced with his dad, Dr. Tom Hoogestraat in Parkersburg for several years before opening University Chiropractic, P. C. in Waterloo in 2004. He purchased Parkersburg Chiropractic, P.C. from his father in 2009 and now spends time in both office locations. Parkersburg Chiropractic was started by Dr. Adam’s grandfather, Dr. M.O. Hoogestraat, in 1938 and Dr. Tom took over the practice in 1974. Dr. Adam is the 3rd generation in his family to carry on the chiropractic profession in the Cedar Valley.
Dr. Adam decided to become a chiropractor for many reasons, but there was one personal experience that was pivotal in that decision. In his first year of college at Northwest Missouri State, he sprained his ankle. After calling three chiropractic offices, he finally found a chiropractor that would treat his ankle. He found this both frustrating and interesting, as his father was able to treat most of his ailments throughout his childhood and high school athletic career. He did not realize that not all chiropractors treated every joint in the body. This experience sparked a quest for Dr. Adam to learn as much about chiropractic as he could so that he could provide his community with the most comprehensive chiropractic care possible.
Dr. Adam continues to seek out the best continuing education available to keep his clinical skills sharp and diverse. He is passionate about educating and providing chiropractic care for his community. He looks forward to any opportunity to provide chiropractic care for a wide array of conditions. Chiropractic can be a successful conservative choice for treating many health conditions.
Dr. Adam enjoys spending his free time with his wife and two children. He enjoys a variety of activities, including skiing, golfing, bicycling, and almost anything outdoors.
