A little bit about Dr. Nels W. Rasmussen, D.C.

Dr. Nels Rasmussen, is a third generation chiropractor. His mother’s parents graduated from Palmer Chiropractic College in 1921 when the profession was just 26 years young. His parents graduated from Logan College of Chiropractic in 1950, and he graduated from Western States Chiropractic College in 1979.

I can remember when I became infused with the spirit of chiropractic.

Shortly after I started the fourth grade, I had a fall from a tree–house we used to play in. I landed on my back just inches from a sharply pointed stump us boys had chopped with our little hatchets. I remember thinking as I struggled to catch my breath, ‘I should be dead right now!’ Over the next weeks and months I kept struggling to catch my breath through pneumonia and then whooping cough, and I spent many hours three or four days a week at my parents clinic in Poulsbo, Washington.Their gentle adjustments to my spine gradually loosened my spasmodic diaphragm and rib cage and my breathing improved.

It was during my time in their office that I witnessed many people dragging themselves into the office in pain and sickness and walking out with smiles on their faces. Many of them would come up to me and ask if I was going to be a chiropractor like my parents. Pretty soon I found myself nodding that I would, thinking, ‘These people really appreciate what mom and dad are doing here. I’d like to be appreciated like that some day.’

So, since I was ten years old, I’ve been a chiropractor in spirit.

Over his lifetime, Dr. Nels has seen many changes in the profession and wellness care, but more importantly for you, he has seen and tried, either as a patient or as a doctor, thirty or forty different methods, or chiropractic techniques as they are called, for adjusting the spine and balancing the body. They all have their unique approaches, but they all share the same purpose. To remove the interference to the power that made the body, so that power can be restored and allowed to heal the body.

In June of 2000 Dr. Nels took his first seminar from the Morter HealthSystem™.

By 2006 Dr. Nels had risen to the level of an Elite Master of the Bio–Energetic Synchronization Technique. He now sees clients from all over the Pacific Northwest and beyond. When a woman from Darrington, Washington asked her recently retired sister in Wisconsin what she wanted for her birthday, she replied, “I’d like to see Dr. Nels again!” Her first visit to The Chiropractor had been on her birthday the year before.
