Wayson Family Chiropractic is proud to introduce Dr. Reegin Kehn, our Webster-certified prenatal and pediatric chiropractor now serving Cedar Falls families. Dr. Kehn brings specialized training in pregnancy care, infant adjustments, and pediatric chiropractic to our team – rounding out our ability to care for patients at every stage of life, from newborns to expecting mothers to growing kids.
Where She Comes From
Dr. Kehn grew up in Sturgis, South Dakota, in the Black Hills – and chiropractic was part of her life from early childhood. She wasn’t introduced to it as a patient dealing with a specific injury. She grew up seeing how consistent chiropractic care supported natural healing and helped the body function the way it was designed to. That early experience planted a seed that eventually shaped her entire career path.
She went on to play collegiate soccer at the University of Mary in Bismarck, North Dakota, where she earned her bachelor’s degree. The combination of athletics and a lifetime of chiropractic care gave her a firsthand understanding of how spinal health affects performance, recovery, and overall function – long before she had the clinical vocabulary to articulate it.
From there, she headed to Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa – the same institution where Dr. Blake Wayson trained. At Palmer, she didn’t just complete her doctoral studies. She served as President of the Gonstead Club, which reflects both her depth of commitment to the Gonstead technique and her leadership within the program. That’s not a casual credential. It means she spent her clinical training years immersed in the most rigorous approach to spinal analysis and correction that chiropractic offers.
What Webster Certification Means for Expecting Mothers
Dr. Kehn holds Webster Technique certification – a specialized credential for prenatal chiropractic care that sets her apart from general practitioners who occasionally see pregnant patients.
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment protocol developed for use during pregnancy. It focuses on the sacrum and pelvis, addressing the misalignments and associated soft tissue tension that commonly develop as the body adapts to pregnancy. When the pelvis is properly aligned, it creates more room for the baby to move and position naturally – which can support a more comfortable pregnancy and a more straightforward delivery process.
Webster certification requires specific training beyond standard chiropractic education. It’s recognized by the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) and is the accepted standard for chiropractic care during pregnancy. For Cedar Falls expectant mothers looking for a chiropractor they can trust throughout their pregnancy, Dr. Kehn’s certification matters.
Common concerns she addresses with pregnant patients include lower back pain, pelvic pain, round ligament discomfort, and the postural changes that come with a growing belly. The techniques used are modified appropriately for each stage of pregnancy – gentle, safe, and specifically designed for the pregnant body.
Her Approach to Pediatric Care
Dr. Kehn’s passion for pediatric chiropractic is rooted in the same philosophy that drew her to the field in the first place: the body has an extraordinary capacity to heal and function well when the nervous system is free from interference. In children, that capacity is at its peak – which is exactly why addressing subluxations early matters so much.
The birth process itself can place significant stress on a newborn’s cervical spine and cranial structure, even in uncomplicated deliveries. Early chiropractic evaluation can identify and address those patterns before they affect a child’s development, sleep, feeding, or immune function. Dr. Kehn works with infants as young as a few days old, using gentle fingertip pressure techniques that are nothing like adult adjustments.
For older children and toddlers, she addresses the developmental patterns that come with learning to walk, carrying backpacks, sports participation, and the posture demands of school-age life. Our pediatric chiropractic approach with Dr. Kehn covers the full range – from newborn wellness checks through adolescence.
What She Values Outside the Office
Dr. Kehn is involved in her church and values the sense of community and connection that comes with it. Outside of work, you’ll find her cooking, working out, traveling, and spending time outdoors. She brings that same energy and engagement into the practice – she’s genuinely interested in the people she works with, not just the conditions she’s treating.
That matters more than it might sound. Prenatal and pediatric care involves a lot of trust. Parents are bringing in their most important people. Expecting mothers are navigating a physically and emotionally significant time. Dr. Kehn understands that, and her approach reflects it – thorough, warm, and always willing to explain what she’s doing and why.
How She Fits Into the Wayson Family Team
With Dr. Kehn joining the practice, Wayson Family Chiropractic now has specialized expertise across every major patient category. Dr. Blake Wayson leads the practice with 20+ years of Gonstead experience and a focus on adult health, family care, and the agricultural community. Dr. Thad Fever and Dr. Britton Goldsmith serve as official team chiropractors for UNI football and specialize in athlete performance and sports injury. And now Dr. Kehn anchors prenatal, infant, and pediatric care with credentials and training specifically built for those populations.
It means that a Cedar Falls family can have a newborn, a school-age child, a high school athlete, and expecting mother all receiving care under the same roof – each with a chiropractor whose training is matched to exactly what they need.
