Services
Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic care focuses on restoring joint mobility and nervous system function through precise, gentle techniques. We address musculoskeletal imbalances that cause pain, muscle spasms, and reduced circulation. Our approach emphasizes long-term wellness over temporary symptom relief, using evidence-based methods to improve overall body function.
Massage Therapy
Our therapeutic massage targets specific musculoskeletal conditions like headaches, sports injuries, and car accident trauma. Certified therapists use tailored pressure techniques to reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and enhance recovery. This service complements chiropractic care to accelerate healing and improve range of motion.
Orthotics
We provide custom Foot Levelers orthotics that support all three arches of your feet for balanced posture. These American-made insoles address foot imbalances causing knee, hip, or back pain. Each pair is created from precise foot scans and comes with a one-year satisfaction guarantee.
Activator Methods
Our Activator Method uses a precision instrument for gentle spinal adjustments without twisting or popping. This FDA-registered technique effectively treats neck pain, headaches, and extremity issues. Dr. Nelson's advanced proficiency since 1986 ensures safe, targeted care for patients seeking noninvasive solutions.
EMG Testing
We utilize noninvasive surface EMG testing to assess muscle stress and spinal imbalances. This diagnostic tool measures electrical activity similar to EKG technology, identifying areas needing adjustment. The quick, painless evaluation helps create personalized treatment plans based on objective muscle function data.

Dr. Nelson always fixes me up just right. I love that it's so easy to park and his office is on the first floor - the things matter when people need chiropractic help. Also, he is always able to squeeze me in if I happen to have a sudden flareup, even if it means they stay a bit into their lunch hour or past closing time. Additionally, he offers things to do at home and helpful exercises to feel better in the long run.
His dietary suggestions are priceless as they help reduce inflammation and facilitate healing. His holistic approach to health is remarkable as we truly are a system of systems and everything is connected. Plus, he always finds a way to uplift his patients and improve the mood.
