Dr. Erik Nelson, ND Prolotherapy Calgary

I had been struggling with deep right sided hip pain on and off for two years to the point where I had to begin dropping out of races. It was demoralizing. I had taken months off to rest it, perform rehabilitation exercises for it and I have seen other doctors for it, but the pain returned every time I ran. Knowing that Dr. Nelson is an endurance athlete himself and he understands the yearning to get back into the sport, I decided to work with him. Within one appointment, Dr. Nelson was able to pinpoint the source my pain - right sided sacroiliac joint laxity, likely due to a major accident I was involved in 4 years prior. He determined that prolotherapy to the ligament would be the most appropriate option and was honest that it could take a couple sessions for maximum results. But, after one prolotherapy session, my hip has felt great and I rarely notice any pain. I'm back out running on the trails and have a race in March that I am excited to run in. I am SO thankful for Dr. Nelson for giving me back my physical freedom and I would recommend him to anyone!

Dr Nelson helped! I originally went in for an Achilles issue. I was treated with Prolotherapy which I highly recommended! I had suffered for a year and a half in pain and within two to three months my foot has felt normal. Dr Nelson not only treated me with the prolotherapy but counselled me into specific exercises that would help strengthen my foot etc. He has awesome ppl skills and I feel he genuinely loves and takes interest in his patients well being. Thank you Dr Nelson!

I have been working with Dr. Nelson for a few years. As a triathlete and ultra runner, Dr. Nelson has been able to treat my overuse injuries and always gets great results. I’ve made it to many a start line feeling 100% in part due to Dr. Nelson’s treatment and guidance.

Really helped out my shoulder. Less complicated than surgery, quicker too.Wonderful staff, and overall amazing!

Any runner with a long-lasting injury can attest to how frustrating it can be to be sidelined. After seeing a total of four doctors in my case, I was provided various recommendations: wear custom orthotics, surgery, see a physical therapist, see a chiropractor, get acupuncture, rest, ice, medicate. After about nine months of no improvement (and three diagnoses of sesamoiditis) my doctors ultimately threw their hands up and said they were “baffled” and that running and impact activity were no longer advisable with my injuries. I refused to buy into believing that running was not in the cards for me ever again. So I decided to look elsewhere. And my search landed me in Dr. Nelson's office to discuss prolotherapy. Three treatments later, my pain is down significantly and I'm able to run again without major discomfort... all thanks to Dr. Nelson!

Dr. Nelson helped me with several issues related to my arthritis of the knees. Not only the prolothetapy he applied started working fast and effectively but he also took a lot of time going over the procedure, explaining in detail the mechanics of the knees, and how to help the treatment be more effective, including strengthening exercises, explaining the correct use and dosage of supplements, reviewing and correcting plans of action, etc, all with genuine care and interest in helping me improve my mobility and health. Thank you Dr. Nelson.

I can’t say enough about Dr. Nelson’s knowledge and experience. I was managing moderate-severe nerve pain for years. Perineural Therapy treatments have been a game changer not only for pain relief - I’ve gotten back range of motion I thought was gone for good. He’s just brilliant and passionate at what he does.

For years I couldn't walk for too long, with the first treatment my knee pain almost dissapeared. So glad I don't take medication for my pain anymore, prolotherapy has helped me walk without pain.

I recently received Prolotherapy from Dr. Nelson for some ongoing lower back pain. I was a little nervous going into the procedure due to needles being around my spine. Dr. Nelson answered all my questions and put my mind at ease prior to the procedure. In the room he walked me through the process and equipment. Once on the table he communicated very well the entire time and before I knew it I was done and on my feet again. The way he communicated and explained throughout the entire procedure was unlike any Dr. I have worked with previously. I will be back for a follow up round.
