About Dr. Nelson

Dr. Nelson received his Bachelor of Human Kinetics in Exercise Science  from UBC, while playing Varsity football for the Thunderbirds. He continued his education at New York Chiropractic College, where he graduated Magna Cum Laude. Upon returning home to Kitsilano Dr. Nelson joined the practice of Dr. Charles Campbell, who was his chiropractor throughout high school and university.

Chiropractic care involves treating a host of different musculoskeletal conditions through a variety of specialized techniques including extremity adjusting, spinal decompression, and use of The Activator Adjusting Instrument. Dr. Nelson's treatments focus on restoring quality and quantity of motion through the balancing, manipulation, and mobilization of joints via soft tissue therapies that focus on supporting the musculature. Each patient's treatment plan is also complemented by a personalized routine of supportive exercises, stretches, and nutritional counseling.

Dr. Nelson's lifelong love of sports and his background in kinesiology naturally combine in the field of treating sports injuries and Dr. Nelson puts this specialized experience to use at his current position as the chiropractor for the UBC Thunderbirds Football and Rugby teams. He has also returned to his former community football team, the Westside Warriors, to help coach.

When he's not busy putting his clients on the path to good health, Dr. Nelson keeps himself busy with football, skiing, hiking, weight training, and playing the guitar.

Testimonials

"I am writing this letter because of chiropractic treatment I have and continue to recieve from Dr. M. Nelson D.C.
What can I say, but after many years of suffering with lower back pain that would many times interfere with my life. I am now approaching a pain free life. The pain was with me constantly only easing occasionally. I tried many different was to get my pain under control with only limited success. Basically I lived with it, adjusting my life to accommodate what my back would allow me to do. After just one visit my pain level went from a a pain level of 7 or 8 down to a 2. The next visit reduced my pain level to 0 for most of the time. I continue to see and feel improvements happening in my body as I have more adjustments done and I feel great. My only regret is that I waited so long to give chiropactic medicine a chande to help.

Very Appreciatively,"
