I’ve been being treated by Nelson for over 2 years. He has helped me to regain control over multiple pains in my body related to my over 24 years of USAF service. I’m a disabled veteran and was being given Vicodin to control my pain which I didn’t want to take. Nelson’s treatments have decreased my pain to mainly zero on the pain scales. Over 1 year ago I was told I had a full thickness tear in my right rotator cuff that required surgery and my left cuff also torn at some level. Nelson started to treat my shoulders and I have not had to have the surgery and have full movement of the shoulder and am able to workout. Nelson’s knowledge and treatments have been a blessing to me.

After some investigation, Nelson was recommended to us by a leader in the acupuncture field. He has been thorough in his explanation and suggestions, and kind in his treatment of an elderly gentleman with Parkinson’s dementia to help in alleviating some of his Parkinson’s symptoms. Nelson is willing to blend Chinese and Western medical treatments. We would not hesitate to recommend him to others in our community. We’re glad to have found such a resource in northern Idaho.

I feel calmer the moment I walk into the office, Nelson is a wealth of knowledge that lives and breaths his craft. I always leave feeling better than when I walked in. I would recommend Nelson to anyone who wants an edge on their health journey physically, emotionally, or psychologically.

We’ve very much enjoyed coming to Ponderay Acupuncture since November of 2018. My adult son has received treatment twice a week since then who is developmentally disabled with chronic ear nerve pain and behavioral challenges. He loves coming here and the treatments calm him and help his pain. Nelson also addresses other issues to optimize the health of my son. I’m happy with the Chinese medicinal teas and formulas Nelson makes for my son without the harsh side effects of western medicine. I find it very peaceful here and a relaxing oasis.

I have had 3 back surgeries and still have pain in my leg. People recommend others to me and I’m willing to try almost anything. A person who I never would have thought would do this went to him and said he was amazing. I had to try. I was skeptical but after 25 years of bring in pain, I figured I’d give it a try. He BLEW ME AWAY! I was completely out of pain for 4 days and my overall pain has greatly decreased. I am AMAZED!

Nelson is an amazing acupuncturist! His needles always seem to find just the right spot to work their magic. I see nelson for acute and chronic injuries as well as regular tune ups and his treatments always help. He has an incredible amount of knowledge about herbs and diet and is a really nice guy to boot.

I’m blown away! No pain at all, I’m so confused. My modern medicine brain is having a hard time with this magic you call acupuncture. I forgot what
zero pain feels like! Thank you!

Nelson Comerci and Ponderay Acupuncture changed my life and gave me hope when western medicine failed me horribly.
In late December 2018, I was diagnosed with spontaneous osteonecrosis. Basically, the lower portion of my left femur lost blood flow. Over the course of the next several months, four different orthopedic doctors offered me no explanation as to why this occurred or how it could be treated. Three of these doctors dismissed alternative treatments and eastern medicine. As the disease progressed, I was told I very well could lose my leg as knee and bone replacement could not occur unless there was a good bone to facilitate replacement.
With the advice of a friend, in late April, I visited Ponderay Acupuncture and Nelson Comerci and began treatment therapy. Through phlebotomy to get blood flow and acupuncture to energize and generate positive Qi, my body and bone began to heal; to the amazement of my orthopedist. After 12 weeks of treatments, the last MRI showed that bone has healed and blood flow has been restored to the femur. As Nelson repeatedly states, I’m not out of the woods yet – but I am on the path. I continue to heal and be VERY grateful for the distance I have come. I take nothing for granted and have a lot of work yet ahead of me to get my body and spirit back to where it was before this happened. With Nelson’s help, the help of friends and the power of prayer and positive and grateful Qi – I’m hopeful for a full recovery.

My experience with Nelson has been positive. He listens to my health concerns and has been working towards a resolution. I initially was skeptical, but within a few visits I became a believer in Acupuncture and herbal teas. I would recommend Nelson to anyone who is looking for an alternative to the pharmaceutical industry.

I was diagnosed with peripheral nephropathy in my legs in the Fall of 2012. Nelson treated my condition with such a professional kind and gentle touch. I consider acupuncture with Nelson Comerci my great success story! I no longer suffer from the burning, aching and numbness in my legs and feet.
A . F
Working with Nelson Comerci is the best thing I have done for myself in my quest for a return to health! I trust his expert knowledge and skill, and greatly value his kindness. I feel he truly listens to my thoughts and concerns, and he is very generous in sharing his wealth of information regarding Chinese medicine. I look forward to each of my sessions and know that I am receiving the highest quality care. Nelson is very gentle; his office is comfortable and relaxing, (the music is wonderful!), and my acupuncture and cupping sessions have been amazingly helpful. Thank you, Nelson!
T . S
The treatment that I received last night from Nelson worked excellent. I got more sleep and feeling 100% better this morning. I’m looking forward to more bloodletting and cupping.

Nelson is a truly gifted diagnostician and acupuncturist. He has helped me with a number of pain related issues over the years. I have been to a number of acupuncturists, but no one comes close to his skill set. He is an expert at getting to the heart of the matter. I highly recommend him.

Thanks so much for the wonderful herbs! They healed my abscessed tooth!! I was amazed they did so well!! I am realizing TCM’s abilities and yours more and more!! I appreciate being able to come see you when my body has issues that need healing and not having to go to western medicine that only fixes symptoms!! Thanks so much Nelson!!

I would say i am feeling peaceful and hopeful. Looking around at the world today it is difficult not to feel despair. I am focusing on the portion of things I can maybe make a difference. Peace to you. Thanks for all you do to keep me on track.

I highly recommend Nelson Comerci. Through his expertise care I have avoided back surgery for ruptured discs. Having tried several acupuncturists through out the years and I can say without a doubt that none come even close to obtaining the physical and emotional healing that Nelson provides. I have recommended his services to many family members and friends. All have experienced similarly positive outcomes. If you want a caring and superior acupuncturist then he is the person to see.

Wow… should that really have worked so fast?

Working with Nelson saved my career! I sustained an injury to my foot that left me unable to even walk (except for hobbling around on crutches), and I was really devastated because as a dancer, teacher and choreographer I obviously need to have a healthy and functional body! I had several classes and workshops coming up, and needed to get back on my feet again without pain. And that is exactly what happened when I came to Boundary Acupuncture! Nelson is extremely invested in his patients well being. He is a deeply caring, competent practitioner, and I would trust him completely with any health concerns.

I wanted to update you on (my dog) Lester’s progress. He is doing soooo much better each and every day. His mobility has increased, and he actually seems to be getting stronger. I want to thank you for your knowledge, skill, wisdom, compassion,and friendship. With out this, my Lester boy may not be still with us. Thanks again, for all that you do!!

It was December 2011 when I fell down the staircase and landed on my jaw crushing my face. I received a new titanium jaw for that Christmas and I was not happy about it. After my incident I was experiencing a lot of numbness in the face as the nerve endings were, and still are, taking their sweet time to re-grow. I decided to take my healing up to a higher level, so I decided to visit Nelson Ivan Comerci at Boundary Acupuncture after reading about him in the news paper. After my first visit I decided the he is a wonderful person and I felt comfortable with his knowledge since he is a Licensed Acupuncturist & Herbalist. Nelson’s skills have helped me with some of the nerve issues that I have been experiencing. And that’s not all; he has been able to help me understand my hormonal issues so that I can be more in control of my body and that makes the whole family happy. As many people know aging is not always a graceful or kind process and I do find it comforting to have found someone who is interested in helping me stay on an even kilter to help keep the aches and pains at bay.

Thanks for all your help. It’s amazing how much better I am feeling.

I have been a client of Nelson Comerci for two years now and I have benefited greatly from his treatments. Nelson takes a thorough health history, and works collaboratively with the client to determine the best approach and treatment plan. His knowledge goes beyond the principles of Chinese medicine but extends to other modalities which he incorporates into his practice. His respect and appreciation for our Earth and all that is good marks him as a special and unique person. Nelson has a powerfully intuitive nature, he is compassionate, and extremely professional. I highly recommend him and I thank him for my improved health.

I don’t know what you did to me but whatever it was please do it again! Since seeing you last I have had more energy and been in a better mood then I have in a long time so thank you.

I feel amazingly better. I have a ways to go; however, I have noticed small changes. My back hasn’t bothered me as much, and I feel more positive. I believe this choice I made to visit Boundary Acupuncture and meet you is one of the better choices I’ve made recently. I look forward to my next visit. I’m drinking more water and got restful sleep last night. I even dreamed of myself flying, which I haven’t experienced since childhood.

I feel like I have a fresh perspective. Thank you for guiding me out of the hole.

For over 10 years I had been misdiagnosed and treated with pharmaceuticals to control what the medical field finally decided was major depressive disorder. Going though the gamut of all the doctors, psychologists, psychiatrists and many different programs the system basically gave up on me. Though taking a leap of faith and following a new path, I was introduced to Nelson. His understanding, compassion and faith that there was a better way helped me find a new understanding of myself and how to heal. With treatments, life style advice and his reminders on how to live in the present, I am now off all medications and thriving.
V . T
Good news is that I have been feeling very well. You have been an important person in my life and have helped me tremendously. Full of gratitude!

I have been seeing Nelson Comerci, Acupuncturist and Herbalist, for health advice and treatment for several years now. I have found his diagnosis unerring and his treatment, both herbal and acupuncture to be in my best interest in regaining my health. Contrary to western treatment, which often makes use of toxic medicines, Nelson addresses the root cause rather than the symptom, without the side effects. I have more than once been relieved of a malady by this powerful method which is not usually addressed by western medicine. Just recently, for instance, I had a severe and painful attack that left me debilitated in my feet and ankles. Through Nelson’s efforts the pain was relieved within a few hours, and I was able to walk and perform my daily functions in a normal manner. This was not without some effort of co-operation on my part by following his advice. Recently the Veterans Affairs ordered a thorough prostate examination for me that included a biopsy to check for prostate cancer. From the VA’s point of diagnosis there was a good possibility of the cancer. I had already been assured by Nelson that I was cancer free. The VA’s exam proved to simply be a back up to Nelson’s previous observation. I could go on with other examples here, but I won’t. I can extensively recommend this man for treatment of the human body (his abilities). I, personally, would not consult with a medical doctor without consulting Nelson first. Nelson is always happy to work with the medical profession on any problem. I assure you that your health is first in any treatment or advice given by Nelson.

Just wanted to thank you again for treating my foot injury. Feels better today than ever. Some achiness but no pain and no swelling. I have been a believer in acupuncture and now even more so. Thanks so much for getting me back on my feet!
S . B
I’ve been feeling better than I have in the past, and I’m pretty excited about it. There are a few sensations that have tripped me out, but the overall feeling has been quite positive. I’ve been taking the supplements as you suggested, since Saturday and I can’t tell if it’s the acupuncture, the supplements or both that are helping provide the better feeling.
P . K
Thanks, the Session was awesome. Jaw a bit more sore, but take it as chi moving through and bringing more healing to area. Overall feel greater movement of energy. Also so enjoy discussing info with you. Very insightful!
K . R
Just wanted to let you know that my energy level after Wednesday’s session has been really good! Among the other good changes for me…my knee is hardly swollen and feels much better, too.
