Chiropractor Halee Ternes D.C.

While at Palmer, Dr. Halee was a privileged participant of the Troxell Intern Program; a program which started in 1968 to help chiropractic students gain a thorough education of the Gonstead technique. By participating in this program, Dr. Halee attained many hours outside of school teaching other students, assisting doctors with x-rays and examinations, and attended multiple seminars to perfect her skills. Dr. Halee also attended Dr. Herb Woods’ bootcamp twice, where she spent over 200+ hours of learning and practicing the Gonstead technique. She continues her passion and love of the Gonstead technique by being involved with the Gonstead Methodology Institute and attending seminars year round.

For the past few years Dr. Halee lived on the beautiful island of Oahu, Hawaii where she worked at a local family practice. While she was there she was able to care for multiple families of all ages including athletes, military personnel and hard working locals. She was able to help an array of community members who testimonies include: patient’s relying on a cane to walk and now no longer needs the cane at all; pregnant momma’s have smooth unmedicated births; newborn babies with issues spitting up or sleeping; athletes being able to deadlift their goal weight; military pilots fly helicopters with no pain; children with autism or specific learning disabilities see behavioral and physical improvement. With her knowledge and experience she has gained over the past few years practicing the Gonstead technique, Dr. Halee now begins her journey of serving patients here in the community of Ames, Iowa. In her free time, Dr. Halee enjoys outdoor running, working out at the gym, spoiling her niece and nephew, and exploring this new town she can call home.

Dr. Halee not only has a passion for serving patients, but also has a passion for teaching and helping others understand the importance and benefits of taking a holistic approach to their health. As your healthcare provider Dr Halee creates an atmosphere in which every patient is valued, understood, and cared for on their individual healing journey.
