About us

A practice built on the exam and the explanation

Spur Wellness was started by Dr. Nolan Carbone, a chiropractor licensed in Iowa, for households who want to know what is being done and why.

Every visit begins with a conversation and an exam. Treatment follows only after you have heard the options, the risks and the cost.

The practice is small on purpose: Dr. Carbone and a front-desk coordinator. You see the same two faces each visit, and the coordinator can explain a bill or an estimate before you arrive.

  • One doctor, one plan

    Dr. Carbone sets your plan after the exam and walks you through it.

  • Questions welcome

    Risks, cost and options are part of every visit.

  • Your choice at every step

    You can say no to any part of care, or stop, at any time.

How we practice

Movement is where we start

Three habits that shape every visit.

  • A practitioner in mint scrubs raises the arm of a woman sitting on a treatment table

    Explain first

    Before any treatment you hear what was found, what the options are, what each involves and what it costs.

  • A man in a white long-sleeve top bends to tie his shoe on a lakeside path

    Build up gradually

    Exercises and activity are increased a little at a time, and your plan is reviewed with you.

  • A model of a rib cage and spine against a white background

    Look at the whole body

    Your spine is connected to the hips, shoulders and the muscles around them, so the exam looks at all of it.
