Testimonials
Dr. Nelsen’s Massage-a-Teacher program is what finally pushed me to come in and see what he could do for my condition. I had already had surgery on my low back a few years ago but was still having to take anti-inflammatory drugs and pain killers to get through the day. The pain had even started spreading into my neck, shoulders, and upper back. It got to the point where I couldn’t even turn my head to the left to look beside me or behind me, and I was having unbearable headaches at least 4 or 5 times a week. I have been a patient of Dr. Nelsen’s for 2 years now and am more than pleased with the outcome. I am more flexible than ever and am no longer experiencing headaches. The Spinal Decompression treatments have allowed me to be more active than ever before and do the things I enjoy without pain. I’m so glad I’ve found something that works and wish I hadn’t neglected getting care sooner.

Dr. Nelsen has been treating me for a low back condition that I had lived with for several years. At one point it was so bad that even when I was just walking somewhere I had to plan frequent ‘rest stops’ to keep my back from killing me. I tried taking pain relievers like Aspirin, but the most relief I’ve gotten has been from my treatments at Dr. Nelsen’s office. I no longer have to think about where I may have to stop when I take a stroll. I’ve had such a positive outcome that now I think of Dr. Nelsen and his staff like they’re extended family.

Chiropractic History Print E-mail

The word chiropractic is derived from Greek and means “ To Perform With The Hands”. Paintings from ancient Egypt and Greece have shown chiropractic was used thousand of years ago. However, David Palmer in the U.S did not find modern chiropractic until 1895.

Treatment is usually painless and contrary to popular beliefs seems completely normal and un-dramatic. Combining several factors including the patient’s examination history and/or x-rays, the doctor can make the decision on how to treat your problem.

Chiropractic today has the education and technology to treat many problems, not just back and neck pain. Chiropractic can also, help you learn different teaching such as exercising, stretching the muscles, and eating a healthy diet.

Once the problem has been relieved, the chiropractor can help with prevention of similar problems by identifying certain strains that your body is exposed to everyday.

Chiropractic is a detailed examination of the joints of the body to determine if and where a functional misalignment exists. If misalignment exists and is isolated the chiropractor can physically restore the joint to its optimal position and range of motion. This may take one, or more than likely a series of treatments to stabilize the condition.

Chiropractic is a health care discipline, which emphasizes the inherent recuperation power of the body to heal itself without drugs or surgery. The practice chiropractic focuses on the relationship between the spine and nervous system and how the relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health.

The chiropractic belief on healing and health differs on the traditional medical view. A chiropractor will evaluate the entire patient as a whole during examination and treating a patient’s health alignment and not just focusing on only one symptom or specific part of the body. We know the body can maintain and heal itself in most cases, without chemicals or cutting out of certain tissues, we believe health is something that comes from within.

The Chiropractor and staff also knows that under certain circumstances medical intervention is necessary but it is the body that controls and manages the healing process and not the doctor or externally applies forces.

Once the Chiropractor corrects spinal abnormalities and can eliminate spine and nerve irritation. Pain is relieved and the bodies own history capabilities are set into motion.
