Our Expert Team
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.

vocation for her.

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 and has a passion for making this a place of hope, healing and happiness!
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!
Jaima
Chiropractic Assistant
Jaima received her AA in Agricultural Business from Hawkeye Community College in 2021. Since then she has realized her passion in life is for health and wellness and was trying to find the right fit for her. As soon as she walked into our office she knew this is where she wanted to be! She began working here in October of 2023.
Jaima received sporadic chiropractic care growing up but it was more symptom based and not for her overall health and wellbeing. She had no idea this kind of chiropractic care existed! Since starting here in the office she has learned so much about chiropractic and why a healthy nervous system is so important. Being new to consistent chiropractic care, Jaima can easily relate to our new practice members. Some of her goals are to get off anxiety medication, help neck and lower back pain, and have a healthy body overall! Jaima loves getting to connect with everyone and see how she can make anyone’s day brighter.
When she’s not at the office you can find her working out, on the farm, at a concert, or with family and friends. Oh, and Dr. Sarah isn’t the only Cyclones fan anymore!
Grace
Chiropractic Assistant
Grace is freshly out of high school, as the youngest one of the bunch she is still unsure of what she wants to do (we’re thinking a future chiropractor would be pretty cool ;)). She is passionate about health and self care, she fits right into our office! She began working here in July of 2024.
Grace never had any chiropractic care before she started working here, and definitely didn’t know this kind of chiropractic care existed! At first she was a little skeptical of this technique, but after being frequently adjusted she noticed amazing changes. Such as her sleep got better and she isn’t on as much medication! She is able to relate to our younger, teen practice members, and keeps us up to date on the latest lingo! Being new to this care she is so excited to see more changes and get more education about health and wellness.
Some of her hobbies include reading, spending time with family and friends and making bread!
Em
Chiropractic Assistant
Em received her Bachelor’s in Social Work and Master’s of Fine Arts in writing, showcasing her dedication to continuous learning and her desire to help people feel seen and heard wherever they are.
Em’s journey to Radiance Chiropractic reflects a balance between family life, personal passions, and professional aspirations. After dedicating 15 years as a stay-at-home mom, she transitioned back into the workforce, pairing her social work background with her creative talents. Her commitment to helping others is evident in both her writing and her art, as she seeks to inspire those around her.
When she is not working, you can find her running her four kids to the many school activities, sporting events and extra-curriculars. With a family of six, she values time together, making memories and slowing down to enjoy those ever fleeting activities.

Frequently Asked Questions
I've never been to a chiropractor before, what should I expect?
At Radiance Chiropractic we take our time to educate you fully on our process. We ensure that all of your questions are answered before your first adjustment. On day 1, you can expect to take a tour of our office, x-rays on site if needed, and an exam utilizing our NASA published technology.
Do you take insurance?
Due to our neurological technique and the tough cases that we see, we are out of network with most insurances. Because of that, however, we are able to discount care more significantly than insurance allows, so we can still make care affordable for you and your whole family.
do i need to take x-rays?
Each person is unique and each situation is different. We utilize x-rays as a diagnostic tool to better understand the structure of the spine and to see how long the root cause of health concerns and underlying issues have been present.
How long do my visits take?
We respect your time and want to ensure that consistent chiropractic care doesn’t get in the way of the rest of your busy schedule. Other than your first two visits which are longer, your following adjustment visits should take less than 15 minutes each time.
how do you adjust?
We utilize the most specific and researched technique in chiropractic, Torque Release Technique. Learn more about Torque Release Technique here.
