A local connection

Dr. Karim is from Coralville

This is not a clinic that picked Coralville off a map. Dr. Mohamed Karim grew up here, graduated from West High School in 2003, and spent fourteen years as a volunteer firefighter with the Coralville Fire Department before retiring in August of 2018.

He studied at the University of Iowa, realised there that natural healthcare was what he actually cared about, and went on to Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, where he was nominated for the Clinical Excellence Award. He opened his practice in North Liberty specifically because it kept him close to the communities he came from.

He is board certified in Chronic Intractable Pain and Neuropathy through the American College of Physical Medicine, and in Functional Neurology through the American Functional Neurology Institute. His dogs Aspen and Sunny turn up at the clinic often enough that patients ask after them.

Why Coralville patients come in

What we hear from patients driving up 965

Neuropathy in Coralville looks the same as it does anywhere, which is to say it creeps. People describe evenings where the burning in the feet makes it hard to settle, gripping problems that turn a jar lid into a two person job, or a growing carefulness on stairs and in the dark that they have not consciously decided on.

Most have already been told there is not much to be done. Some have been offered medication that dulls the pain without touching the cause. What is often missing is anyone actually measuring what is happening in the nerves, which is where a proper assessment changes the conversation.

Common causes we see

Diabetes and prediabetes lead by a wide margin. Also chemotherapy, B12 deficiency, thyroid disease, kidney disease, alcohol, autoimmune conditions and physical compression. In a meaningful number of cases no cause is ever found, which is called idiopathic neuropathy and is still worth assessing.

What gets measured

Sensory testing across feet and hands, vibration and position sense, reflexes and strength, balance and gait, and circulation to the extremities. Those numbers become your baseline, and we repeat them so we can tell whether anything is actually improving.

The full detail of what the assessment covers and what non surgical care involves is on the main neuropathy treatments page. This page is about the practicalities of getting here from Coralville.

The drive

Coralville to the clinic

From anywhere in Coralville, head north on Highway 965 into North Liberty and follow it toward the Jordan Street area. From around the Coral Ridge area it is roughly ten minutes, and from north Coralville less than that. No interstate, no complicated junctions, and the entrance is level from the parking lot.

Because a neuropathy plan usually means coming in regularly for a stretch rather than once, that short drive matters more than it sounds. It is the difference between a course of care you finish and one you quietly abandon in week three.

Appointment times that suit the drive

The clinic is open Monday 9am to 7pm, Tuesday 9am to 6pm, Wednesday 9am to 7pm, and Thursday and Friday 9am to 5pm. The Monday and Wednesday evenings exist for exactly this reason: you can finish work in Coralville or Iowa City and still get seen.

Questions

Coralville patient questions

Is there a neuropathy clinic in Coralville itself?

Not one offering this kind of assessment. The nearest is ours in North Liberty, about ten minutes north on Highway 965, where Dr. Karim holds board certification in Chronic Intractable Pain and Neuropathy.

How often would I need to come in?

Neuropathy care is a course rather than a single visit, so expect regular appointments for a stretch, with a retest built in. We agree the schedule with you at the consultation and we will be straight about the commitment before you start.

I am already being seen at the University of Iowa. Does that matter?

Not at all, and we would rather know. We work alongside your physician rather than around them, particularly where blood sugar or medication management is involved.

Do you offer other treatments, or only neuropathy?

All seven services are available: hormone therapy, IV therapy, ozone therapy, gut health, medical weight loss and infrared sauna alongside neuropathy care.

Is the first appointment really free?

Yes, and there is no obligation. If we do not think we can help, we will tell you that rather than sell you a package.

Do I need a referral?

No. Call (319) 380-4380 or use the contact page and we will find you a time.
