Second Opinions In Ankeny, IA
You’ve Been Told What It Is. But You’re Still Not Better.
- Maybe you’ve already been diagnosed.
- Maybe you’ve already completed physical therapy.
- Maybe you’ve had imaging that didn’t give you a satisfying explanation.
- Or maybe you’ve simply been told to rest and wait.
If you’re still struggling, getting another perspective can help you understand what may be missing and what your options actually are.
Bring Us What You’ve Already Been Through.
You don’t have to start from zero.
We’ll look at your:
- History — What happened, how it started, and how it’s changed.
- Previous Treatment — What you’ve tried and how your body responded.
- Imaging & Diagnoses — What you’ve been told and whether it fits with what we’re seeing.
- Current Movement — How your strength, mobility, and movement may be contributing to the problem.
The Goal Isn’t to Give You Another Label.
It’s to Give You Better Direction.
A second opinion should help answer practical questions:
- What’s actually contributing to my symptoms?
- Why haven’t I improved?
- What can I realistically do right now?
- Do I need more treatment, a different approach, or another specialist?
We’ll give you our assessment and explain the reasoning behind it.
Sometimes the Answer Is Physical Therapy.
Sometimes it’s modifying your current plan.
Sometimes you may need imaging, a physician, or another specialist.
And sometimes you simply need reassurance that you’re on the right track.
The point is to help you make that decision with more information—not keep you in treatment just because you came through the door.

“I came to Dr. Stewart, after years of discomfort and pain in my hip and leg. It had become worse over the last year, not allowing me to sit for extended periods of time. I had not had it diagnosed prior to visiting Dr. Josh Stewart. I signed up for his $21 initial consultation. He was able to diagnose me in that consultation with an SI joint disorder. Together, we embarked on a journey over the coming weeks, to treat me. Within about 4-5 weeks, I was experiencing great relief. I now have no more issues or pain in my hip and leg. I was also experiencing some carpal tunnel, quite severe, in my right hand and less severe in my left. Dr. Stewart began treating this as well. Although I am no longer under his care, I am continuing to do the exercises and stretches for the carpal tunnel and I am experiencing great results. Dr. Stewart is extremely knowledgeable, informative and helpful. He always makes time for questions, answers, feedback and makes you feel very comfortable with the treatment that he is providing. I have referred him to one person already. I would highly recommend him to anyone.”

“I have suffered from low back pain for over 15 years. I’ve tried several therapies to try to relieve the pain, including pain medication, traditional physical therapy, warm pool therapy, three different chiropractic styles, even spinal epidural injections. After about two months of sessions with Dr. Stewart, my mobility has increased, my pain levels have dropped significantly, and I have control of my own progress with the lessons and exercises he’s taught me. I truly believe I’ve avoided the eventuality of back surgery thanks to Dr. Stewart’s treatment, and I would highly recommend anyone with similar symptoms to contact him!”
