One patient at Absolute Balance Chiropractic looked around the new health care offices in Davenport on Friday, July 21, and summed it up this way: “This is a one-stop shop for everything.” That was the goal for Dr. Kay Knight, chiropractor and owner of Absolute Balance, when she moved her practice this spring to its new site at 3425 E. Locust St., Suite 101.

“Health care is changing rapidly. … We wanted these many services under one roof,” she told a crowd of more than 50 people during a Quad Cities Chamber of Commerce ribbon-cutting ceremony held to celebrate the expanded offices. Dr. Knight’s Absolute Balance Chiropractic office moved to the two-story office building on East Locust Street – near the intersection with Kimberly Road – after doing business at 3565 Utica Ridge Road, Bettendorf, for the past several years. But Absolute Balance did not come to the new office building alone; it brought its associated other health care providers and services into the same office area. They include: Back To Action Physical Therapy; Total Image, which offers advanced pedicure treatments, ingrown nail treatments and other services; Massage Therapy; Complexions Beauty Lab; the Forever Me Cancer and Speciality Boutique; and a family nurse practitioner is expected to set up shop in the building in the near future. Currently, there are about 14 employees in the health care provider offices, with plans to hire five more in the coming weeks, Dr. Knight said. She added that the office space became available in 2021 and she closed on the building in December 2022. After the closing, came a few months of interior renovation work to get the building ready for the new health offices. Today, it meets her goal of providing that one-stop shop for many services for her patients. “It offers more space, more room, more services for patients. … You can’t find this type of place anywhere else in the Quad Cities,” she added. During Friday’s ceremony, Dr. Knight thanked the many business partners that helped in creating the new office space including: Point Builders,  Streamline Architects, DeWitt Bank & Trust and the City of Davenport. She also thanked her staff, calling them “the best team on the planet.” The office building, which also houses the Brooks Law Firm on the second floor and the Allredi Partnership in another section of the building, is the former home to Marco Distributions. During the open house held after the ribbon-cutting, patients, visitors and care providers said they liked the new facility. One of the common themes centered on the scenery outside the building. One side of the building faces a wooded area that provides some wildlife scenes for patients. “I love it and the patients love the view,” said Linda Dressler in the Total Image office, as she pointed out her office windows overlooking the wooded scenery. “We can see deer, groundhogs and chipmunks from here.” A couple of doors away, Barb Park, a physical therapist at Back To Action Physical Therapy, was showing visitors some of the therapy equipment in her office. She also pointed out the wooded scenery outside her windows near a row of exercise equipment. “It’s a dream come true. You can’t believe the views we have. … I used to have patients come in here and exercise and look at a blank wall. Now, they look at this scenery,” she added.
