Your body is
capable of more
than you realize.

The Nervous System Co. is a family-centered, neurologically focused chiropractic practice in Carlisle, Iowa — built on one belief: your body is designed to heal, grow, and perform, and it does that best when it can shift out of stress mode and into rest, digest, and recover.

From the Nervous System Out.

Who We Care For

Built for your
whole family.

From newborns to grandparents, everyone belongs here. Here's where most families start.

Youth Athletes

Kid first, athlete second. We care for the whole kid, not just the sore spot, and we think about how they recover and how long they stay in the game.

What makes NSCo different
You'll be known here

You're never a number on a schedule. I want to know your story, and your family's.

Time to talk

Your first visit runs 45 to 60 minutes. Follow-ups always start with a real check-in.

Scans as one piece

INSiGHT scans add information to your story and exam. They're never the whole story.

No surprises

Cash-pay, upfront about cost, and HSA/FSA friendly.

About Dr. Sam

I'm a dad
first. Everything
else follows.

"I may not always remember someone's name right away — but I'll remember their story. And if you're in my room, I genuinely want to know you."

My job isn't to fix you. It's to listen, look at the whole picture, find where your nervous system may be under unnecessary stress, and help you understand what your body is telling you. Then we work together — one step at a time.

Our Commitment

Rooted in Carlisle.
Centered on you.

I grew up in this kind of community. I know what it feels like when a local business actually knows you — versus one that just happens to be nearby. That's what I'm building here. A practice that belongs to Carlisle.

How It Works

Simple. Personal.
Intentional.

01
Request Your Consultation

Fill out our short inquiry form. We'll reach out to answer your questions and get your first visit on the calendar. No pressure, no sales pitch, just a real conversation.

02
Your Overall Evaluation

Your first visit is about truly understanding you: your story, a hands-on exam, and a neurological assessment with our INSiGHT scans (heart rate variability, muscle tension, and temperature). Then we walk through what we find together.

03
A Plan Built Around You

We design a care plan around your family's goals, your schedule, and your budget, and go over the cost before any care begins.
