Carrel Family Chiropractic started in the heart of the Ballard Community on Main Street in Slater, Iowa. The clinic opened in February 2009 and is now owned and operated by Dr. Greg Ploeger and Amanda Ploeger of Huxley. In September 2019, Dr. Greg opened an additional location on US Highway 69 in Huxley, Iowa. The goal of the clinics have remained the same since the start: to play a prominent role in the Ballard community while providing an extraordinary level of care for patients in and around the community.
