Services
Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic care focuses on natural, holistic treatment for spinal health and overall wellness. Using manual adjustments and advanced techniques like the Activator tool and Thompson Drop, we correct misalignments to improve nervous system function. This approach alleviates pain, enhances mobility, and supports the body's innate healing abilities for patients of all ages.
Neuropathy Treatment
This non-invasive neuropathy treatment targets chronic nerve pain using a combination of low-level light therapy, electrostimulation, and nutritional support. By addressing underlying causes like poor circulation or diabetes, we stimulate nerve regeneration and reduce symptoms such as numbness, tingling, and balance issues without medication or surgery.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy utilizes advanced electrohydraulic technology to deliver targeted shock waves that stimulate healing in soft tissues and joints. This FDA-cleared treatment effectively reduces inflammation, accelerates tissue repair, and alleviates chronic pain conditions like plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, and sports injuries through non-surgical means.
Metabolic Health
Our metabolic health program addresses root causes of weight gain and hormonal imbalances through a three-phase approach. Combining nutritional therapy, stress management, and targeted supplementation, we help patients reverse aging effects, optimize energy levels, and achieve sustainable weight loss while improving overall cellular health.
Spinal Decompression
This non-surgical spinal decompression therapy gently relieves pressure on compressed discs to treat herniated discs, sciatica, and pinched nerves. Using computer-controlled traction, we create negative pressure in the spine to promote disc rehydration and nerve decompression, offering an alternative to invasive procedures.

Dr. Nelson makes me feel like she truly cares about my overall health. I was recently diagnosed with diabetes and at each visit she always asks how I am doing with it.

Make your appointment today! I've been to many chiropractor offices and have never experienced a friendlier staff and more approachable chiropractor. Ms. Lyne is such a treasure! You'll be in the best hands. The staff is so efficient and just simply top-notch. Again, make the appointment! You'll feel better, physically, and about your choice of chiropractic care. (I'm a Nelson, but no relation)

I have been a regular patient at Nelson Chiropractic since 2011. Having been a Preschool and PreKindergarten Teacher for twenty years, all the enjoyment of teaching "at floor level" had already taken a toll on my knees and back. My family doctor warned against knee replacements at too early an age. I can't remember not hurting, but the smiles and giggles always won at the end of the day. I retired before the Holidays 2010. and BANG!

I had never had any surgeries until 2011 and was suddenly faced with a left nephrectomy and a non-functional gall bladder. My daughter urged me to reach out to the team at Nelson Chiropractic. and, I have been a very satisfied patient of Dr. Traci Nelson since then. There is a definite welcoming air at the Office of Nelson Chiropractic and the Professional Staff of Doctors is the BEST. Keeping a monthly maintenence schedule with occasional extra needed visits is the best key for chiropractic care.

I was very happy with my first visit with Dr. Lynn at Nelson Chiropractic. She was very thorough and explained what she was going to do. The office girls are all very helpful and nice. I look forward to seeing Dr Lynn again.
