Testimonials
“Dr. Nelson is top notch. He is honest and he is great at finding the cause of any pain. He has helped me and my family for years. We choose him first before seeing our Primary Care doc every time.”
The Williams Family
Dr. Nelson is a wonderful, caring and compassionate chiropractor. My family and I have been seeing him for over 7 years. He has helped with my neck pain and low back pain. I have never been able to find a chiropractor who can help with my low back pain since I had back fusion 15 years ago. He is very knowledgeable and takes the time to help his patients feel better. He's never in a hurry and will even discuss diet and nutrition, including supplements he believes might help. Manipulation, activator, ultrasound and heat therapy are included in his visits. He'll also work within budgets if a patient doesn't have chiropractic health coverage. No other chiropractor I have ever seen has been so accommodating. I highly recommend!!

I can't say enough about Dr. Nelson. I do have to drive awhile to see him but he is worth it. Never minimizes your problems and gets them fixed. I feel so much better!
Vanessa C., Palm Springs
I have had the pleasure of knowing Dr. Nelson of Ortega Chiropractic for the last 10 years. I had suffered from sciatica and lower back pain since giving birth. With Dr. Nelson's knowledge, expertise and patience I am feeling so much better and only coming into the office for an occasional "tune up". With the flexible office hours I can drop in with my children for an adjustment. It works very well with all of our busy schedules. Dr. Nelson relaxed nature helps to ease any anxiety. My children look forward to getting an adjustment and conversing with him. Dr. Nelson has been key to keeping and promoting our family in good backhealth.
