About Revival Health
A Family-Centered Chiropractic Practice Rooted in Connection, Structure, and Long-Term Health
Welcome to our family.
At Revival Health Center, we see you as family. We’ve always dreamed of this space being a home — in every sense of the word — for health and healing. A place that feels welcoming, comfortable, safe, and familiar. Our hope is that you don’t just notice that difference, but truly feel it in every interaction and every visit.
We believe health is not about quick fixes or chasing symptoms. It’s about understanding the body, supporting the nervous system, and creating an environment where healing and adaptability can take place — now and for years to come.
We’re honored to serve individuals and families throughout Clive, Waukee, Urbandale, and the greater Des Moines area, walking alongside them on their journey toward lasting health.

Our Philosophy
We believe that structure determines function.
Your spine protects your nervous system — the communication pathway between your brain and body. When spinal alignment is compromised, the body may struggle to adapt to physical, emotional, and environmental stress. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, we look deeper at how spinal structure and nervous system function may be influencing overall health. This philosophy allows us to care for people in every stage of life — from newborns and expecting mothers to growing families and adults seeking long-term wellness.
Meet the Revival Team
Dr. Drew O’Bleness
Dr. Drew was born and raised in Keokuk, Iowa, before attending the University of Iowa, where he earned a degree in Integrative Physiology. He went on to complete his Doctor of Chiropractic degree with honors at Life University in Marietta, Georgia.
It was through his own health journey that Dr. Drew found his passion for chiropractic and natural healing. In his twenties, he was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia — a life-altering experience that required a deep shift in mindset and approach to health.
Through consistency, education, setbacks, and perseverance, Dr. Drew experienced healing in more ways than one. That journey shaped not only how he views health, but how he practices today — with compassion, intention, and a deep respect for the body’s innate ability to heal when interference is removed.
Dr. Drew is Webster Certified through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), allowing him to provide gentle, pregnancy-specific chiropractic care that supports both mom and baby.
His mission is simple: to help individuals and families regain their health so they can live fully, serve others well, and reach their greatest potential — in health and in life.
Owner & Chiropractor
Kelsey O’Bleness
Kelsey is the co-owner and office manager of Revival Health Center, and her most cherished roles are being Dr. Drew’s wife and a proud mom to their son, Isaiah.
Kelsey’s journey into chiropractic began during one of the most challenging seasons of their lives. After Dr. Drew’s cancer diagnosis in 2014, the two found themselves searching for answers — not just treatments, but causes. At just 23 years old, they were determined to find an approach to health that aligned with the body’s design and ability to heal.
That search led them across the country — and ultimately to chiropractic and the philosophy of Above Down, Inside Out.
While Dr. Drew attended chiropractic school at Life University, Kelsey worked as a chiropractic assistant alongside some of the profession’s most impactful doctors. What began as a job quickly became a calling as she witnessed transformations happen every day.
Through years of experience as a caregiver, patient, and chiropractic assistant, Kelsey has come to believe deeply that it is not our birthright to be sick or suffering. We were created for health, vitality, and full expression of life — and it is Revival’s purpose to help families rediscover that truth.

Our Care Process
From your very first visit, you’ll experience a warm welcome, a listening ear, and a thoughtful approach to care.
Rather than a one-size-fits-all model, we create individualized care plans based on:
Your health history
Your goals and lifestyle
Objective findings and progress evaluations
As your body changes, your care evolves — supporting you through corrective phases and into long-term wellness.
Why We Don’t Take Insurance
This is a common — and very fair — question.
In short, we do not take insurance (with the exception of Medicare). We’ve made this choice for one primary reason: you.
Our goal is to remain patient-first and patient-focused. By working directly with you — rather than insurance companies — we’re able to recommend care based on what your body needs, not what a policy dictates. This allows for clarity, flexibility, and affordability without compromising care.
If you have out-of-network chiropractic benefits, we’re happy to provide the documentation needed should you choose to submit claims independently. Reimbursement would then be determined by your insurance provider.
Rooted in Our Community
Revival Health Center is proud to serve families throughout Clive, Waukee, Urbandale, and the surrounding Des Moines metro. Our practice is built on relationships, trust, and a shared commitment to long-term health.
Through community events, educational workshops, and ongoing lifestyle support, we strive to empower individuals and families to make informed, intentional choices for their well-being.
A Home for Your Health.
