Meet the Doctor

Dr. Steven Barnes, D.C.

Chiropractor

With more than 25 years of clinical experience, Dr. Steven Barnes has provided chiropractic care to thousands of patients throughout Council Bluffs and the surrounding communities. He is known for his thorough evaluations, personalized treatment plans, and practical approach to helping patients achieve lasting results.

A former collegiate wrestler and captain of the wrestling team at Simpson College, Dr. Barnes developed an early appreciation for how the body moves, heals, and performs. After earning his bachelor's degree in Biology, he completed his Doctor of Chiropractic degree at Cleveland Chiropractic College and returned home to serve the community he knows so well.

No two patients are alike, and Dr. Barnes believes their care shouldn't be either. He uses a variety of chiropractic techniques, including Gonstead, Diversified, and Activator methods, along with stretching and strengthening recommendations, to help each patient reach their individual goals.

When he's not in the office, you'll likely find Dr. Barnes hunting, fishing, working outdoors, or spending time with his family. He also coached youth wrestling for many years, giving him a unique perspective on helping young athletes stay healthy and active. His own active lifestyle helps him understand what his patients want most—to move comfortably and enjoy life without pain.

Dr. Barnes and his wife, Venus, have two children, Steven and Sophia, and are proud to call Council Bluffs home.
