Dr. Deden received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa in 1999. He completed his residency at Palmer's outpatient clinic in Rock Island, Illinois.

After graduation, Dr. Deden practiced at the Coal Valley Chiropractic Clinic in Illinois. In 2004, Dr. Deden joined Jason Bradley, another Palmer alumnus, at the Bradley Center for Health and Wellness in Iowa City, Iowa.

Dr. Deden was attracted by the holistic philosophy of the Bradley Center, especially the effort to deliver other forms of physical medicine, such as manual therapy and therapeutic exercise and stretching, as an integral part of chiropractic care. Dr. Deden purchased the practice in 2005.

Dr. Deden practices traditional and low force chiropractic. He focuses on Diversified, Gonstead, and Thompson techniques, but also draws on a wider variety of techniques, including Activator, Lumbar Distraction, Sacral Occipital Technique, and Toggle Recoil. Dr. Deden is Palmer trained and certified in all of these techniques. In addition to his Palmer training, Dr. Deden has studied Applied Kinesiology and Nutrition.

Dr. Deden subscribes to the basic chiropractic tenet that the human body possesses an innate intelligence with which it strives to maintain healthy homeostasis. He views chiropractic care, with its focus on the relationship between the spinal column and the central nervous system, as a way to help facilitate this natural process.

A strong believer in the value of other physical medicine modalities, Dr. Deden works closely with licensed massage therapists who provide manual therapy and therapeutic exercise and stretching as an adjunct to the chiropractic adjustment. As provided by a Doctor of Chiropractic or Chiropractic Assistants, these services are known as chiropractic physiotherapy.

The overall goal of his practice is to improve the lives of his patients through individualized patient care, the use of integrated treatment modalities, and a general commitment to natural health. In addition to chiropractic care, his clinic offers massage and acupuncture services.

A native of the Midwest, Dr. Deden grew up in Anoka, Minnesota. Today Dr. Deden lives in Coralville, Iowa. When not at the clinic, Dr. Deden likes to spend time with his children, Brandon and Jackie.
