Our Mission

Dr. Abby Welsh

Dr. Abby is the owner and one of the doctors at Radiance Chiropractic in Cedar Falls, IA. Although growing up in La Crescent, MN keeps her tied to her MN roots, she was born and raised a Hawkeye and Packer fan. She was not, however, raised in a chiropractic lifestyle. This led her down a path of a medical doctor career until she realized that our current “health care” system is much more focused on symptoms and disease, not true health and healing, and her career path then veered towards chiropractic.

Dr. Abby received her Bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse and her Doctorate of Chiropractic from Logan University in Chesterfield, MO. During her time at Logan, she realized that, although common, it is not normal to have ear infections, allergies, asthma, ADHD, and Autism as a child. It’s not normal to be stressed out, anxious, depressed, and unhappy teens and adults. The body is not deficient in medication, and symptoms are manifestations of bigger problems. These realizations led her to create what Radiance Chiropractic is today. A place where people come to transition their health and maintain that lifestyle vs. relying on drugs and surgery as a first line of defense.

Outside of the office, Dr. Abby is a wife and a mom of 2 little boys who have been adjusted since the day they were born. Health is a priority for their family so they are able to stay active with water skiing, UTV riding, traveling, and just being outside playing any sport the boys are obsessed with that week.

Dr. Sarah Lutterman

Dr. Sarah Lutterman was born and raised just outside of Eldora, Iowa. Growing up she was a year round athlete involved in track and field, basketball, and volleyball. She went to college to start a career somewhere in health care because she knew that she wanted to help empower people to live to their fullest potential. In her last year of undergrad she was listening to a guest chiropractor give a lecture on how he helped people achieve health through his hands AND his heart. That day she knew exactly where she needed to be so she changed the focus of her major and applied to chiropractic school.

Dr. Sarah received a Bachelor of Science with a Major in Kinesiology and Health from Iowa State University. After graduation she moved to Davenport, Iowa to attend Palmer College of Chiropractic. She was a member of the Pediatrics and Perinatal Club and the Palmer Student Alumni Foundation where she networked with chiropractors all over the world. During her time at Palmer her passion for pediatric and perinatal care grew as she became Webster Certified for pregnancy through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA). She was able to care for many incredible families and work with several highly experienced mentors during her time in the clinic which helped her grow into the doctor that she is today. She recently completed the Pediatric Experience, alongside Dr. Abby, to further her education in pediatric care as well as recognizing the early signs of children on the spectrum.

When Dr. Sarah is not in the office, you will find her cheering on her beloved Cyclones, traveling the state to try new wineries, or testing out new local restaurants. She is married to her high school sweetheart, Carson, and they recently planted their roots in Reinbeck, Iowa.

Tara

Office Manager

Tara received her Bachelor’s degree in Health and Human Physiology with an emphasis in exercise science from The University of Iowa in May 2016. She has worked for Radiance Chiropractic since the office opened in 2018.

Tara has always been involved in healthcare, but had a hard time finding a field that she was really passionate about…until she discovered chiropractic! Since starting her career at Radiance, she has not only seen significant improvements in her own health (headaches, sleep problems, immune system, menstrual issues, allergies) but has seen so many other people’s health restored through chiropractic. Tara has always been passionate about helping people and loves that she can now help people live happier, healthier lives through principled chiropractic care! Any questions you have, Tara is your go-to gal!

In her free time, you can find Tara at the gym, spending time with family and friends, cheering on her beloved Hawkeyes or traveling to anywhere that has a beach!
