Chiropractor & Owner KEY POTENTIAL CHIROPRACTIC & KPC STUDIO 360

Kelsey Pettitt D.C., C.A.C.C.P.

Dr. Kelsey Pettitt is the founder and CEO of KPC Studio 360, previously known as Key Potential Chiropractic, which she established in 2017 with a mission to help individuals and families move beyond symptom management and unlock their body’s natural ability to heal through neurologically based chiropractic care.

As the practice grew, Dr. Kelsey recognized that lasting results require more than one approach. This insight led to the development of the KPC Method, a structured system designed to evaluate and address the body from multiple angles to support alignment, recovery, and performance.

To further expand this mission, she evolved the practice into KPC Studio 360—a modern chiropractic, recovery and performance studio built on the trusted foundation of Key Potential Chiropractic. By integrating advanced therapies with chiropractic care, Dr. Kelsey and her team help patients heal, move better, and reach their full potential through a comprehensive 360° approach to health.

The Founders

Wade & Dr. Kelsey Pettitt

Dr. Kelsey (Eischeid) Pettitt grew up on a farm right outside of Carroll, Iowa. She is the daughter of Bob and Beth Eischeid. Dr. Pettitt attended Kuemper Catholic High School where she participated heavily in Basketball and Softball.

Dr. Kelsey went on to study exercise science at Iowa State University. Shortly after high school, she met her husband, Wade Pettitt at the Carroll Country Club! After working for a few summers with Wade at the golf course, they both moved to Davenport, Iowa where Dr. Pettitt attended Palmer College of Chiropractic.

Wade also grew up in Carroll, Iowa and attended Carroll High School. He is the fourth oldest of twelve kids. He is a two-time Iowa High School State Golf Champion and continued his career at Indian Hills Community College and Drake University before turning pro in the fall of 2008.

Wade played on professional mini-tours all across North America including the Canadian Tour, Gateway Pro Tour, and the Dakota Tour. The golf course, of all places, is where he and Dr. Kelsey first met.

Wade was introduced to chiropractic care as a young child and was lucky enough to experience the health benefits all throughout his life. As a child, whenever he or any of his siblings were sick, his mother would first take them to see the chiropractor. Getting adjusted helped boost their immune system and fight off illnesses much quicker! Wade is now involved with expanding the game of golf through the KPC Golf Studio.
