🕐  Plan for 45–60 minutes for your first visit. Follow-up visits are usually 5 to 10 minutes, and we'll take longer whenever you have questions or something comes up.

Things new
patients often
wonder.

These come up a lot. If something isn't here, just ask — we'd rather answer it before your visit than have you wonder.

"What if I'm nervous or not sure if this is right for me?"

Just tell me. We go at your pace, explain everything before we do it, and never push care you're not ready for. Some of the people most committed to their care now walked in the door pretty unsure. That's exactly what the first visit is for.

What will it cost, and when will I know?

We're cash-pay, so there's no insurance billing and no surprises. Before you book, the cost of your first visit is clear up front, and our fee schedule is available whenever you ask. After your exam and scans, we'll go over your recommended care plan and what it costs before any care begins, and you decide what to do next with no pressure. We accept credit, debit, cash, and HSA/FSA cards, and we provide documentation for reimbursement requests.

Do I need to fill out paperwork in advance?

We'll send intake forms ahead of your visit so you can fill them out at home, without the clipboard pressure. If anything comes up, we'll go over it together when you arrive.

What should I wear?

Comfortable, easy-to-move-in clothing. Athletic or casual is perfect. The thermal scan reads along your spine, so we may have you slip into a gown for that portion — we'll walk you through it when you're here. Nothing to stress about.

Will I get adjusted on my first visit?

Usually yes — if your conversation, exam, and scans support it, we'll do a gentle first adjustment. Occasionally we'll gather more information first. Either way, you'll leave knowing what we found and what the plan is.

What if I'm bringing a baby or young child?

Perfect. Babies can be scanned and adjusted the same visit if appropriate — and pediatric adjustments are so gentle that most infants sleep right through them. We're built for this.

How soon can I get in?

NSCo is coming to Carlisle in 2027, and we're accepting founding patients now. Fill out the form below and we'll be in touch within one business day to get you on the calendar.

Is there anything I should do to prepare?

Drink some water, wear comfortable clothes, and think through your health history. That's really it. Come as you are — we'll handle the rest.

What your
first visit actually
looks like.

We take our time with every new patient. Here's exactly what that looks like — from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave with a plan that actually makes sense to you.

1
~5 min
You arrive & get settled

We'll greet you, get any paperwork sorted, and make sure you feel comfortable before anything else happens. No rushed waiting room energy. No clipboard panic. Just a calm space to land in before we get started.

2
~15 min
We hear your story

Before we touch anything, we listen. I want to know what's brought you in, what you've already tried, and what you're actually hoping for. This isn't a clipboard exercise. It's a real conversation. And it shapes everything that comes after it.

💬 Bring the whole family — everyone's welcome at this part.

~10 min
Your overall evaluation

Along with your story and a hands-on exam, we run three INSiGHT scans (heart rate variability, surface EMG, and thermal): no needles, no radiation, just a few minutes. The thermal scan reads along your spine, so we may have you slip into a gown for that part. Then we walk you through what we found, and what the scans do and don't tell us. How we evaluate

📊 You'll see your results, and we'll explain what they mean.

~15 min
Your first adjustment

If it makes sense after your conversation, exam, and scans, we'll do your first adjustment. I pick the technique based on what I'm seeing and what fits you — not a default. Most people are genuinely surprised by how calm and subtle it feels. We'll also spend time on any muscle tension that's contributing to what you're dealing with.

🌿 First visits are gentle. We meet your body where it is.
5
~10 min
Your care plan & next steps

Before you leave, we walk through what we found, what it means, and what a realistic path forward looks like. You'll leave knowing your numbers, understanding the plan, and clear on cost. No pressure to commit on the spot. Just an honest conversation about what will help and what won't.

✓ Questions welcome. We'd rather you leave informed than uncertain.

to your first visit.
