His story
From Coralville fire trucks to a North Liberty clinic
Dr. Karim is from Coralville. He graduated from West High School in 2003 and soon after joined the Coralville Fire Department, where he served as a volunteer firefighter for 14 years before retiring in August 2018.
While earning his bachelor's degree at the University of Iowa, he realized the work he wanted to do was natural healthcare. That took him to Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, where he was nominated for the Clinical Excellence Award for his command of chiropractic technique and the way he worked with patients. After earning his Doctor of Chiropractic degree, he opened his own practice in North Liberty.
His goal has not changed since: help people one patient at a time, and treat everyone who walks in as part of the family.

Continuing education matters to him. The functional neurology training shapes how he examines balance, sensation and the brain-body connection, which is at the center of his neuropathy work.
What he treats
Neuropathy first, and the health around it
Most of Dr. Karim's patients come in with burning, tingling or numb feet, balance problems or pain that has not responded to other care. He tests nerve function before recommending anything, and his neuropathy plans also address circulation, inflammation and metabolic health. The clinic's other services support that same picture.

Outside the clinic
Close to home, on purpose
Dr. Karim chose to practice near his home so he can spend time with his wife and their two dogs, Aspen and Sunny, who sometimes spend an afternoon at the clinic, where patients are always glad to see them. He is a Hawkeyes fan and trains regularly at the gym next door to the clinic.
