I appreciate how simple it is to set up appointment, get treated and get out...the whole process has been prompt and expedient each time. Dr. Nelson is very knowledgeable, friendly and pleasant. He seems to put his patients first... I know he's looking out for my wellness first and foremost.

  • My first experience was AMAZING! Staff is professional and help you feel comfortable. I was tired after the adjustment but it felt like I had 50 lbs. of stress and tension lifted off my back. I would definitely recommend for children, pregnant women and anyone scared of trying the chiropractor for the first time. Highly recommend. :)

  • I came to Derek after having an increase of back pain and turning into severe back pain that also was radiating down my leg. I could also barely walk. I suspected a herniated disc and Derek confirmed it with his professional and accurate body assessment. Derek has been treating me for the past month and a half and now I can walk and even exercise again! I would highly recommend Nelson Chiropractic if you have any back joint pain and you will be on your way to recovery!

  • Dr. Nelson, Thank you very much for adjusting Lanie and Jaylee. Lanie slept through the entire night! It’s a good feeling to know that their spines are in line and everything is functioning properly. We will be seeing you soon for a check-up. Thank you!

    Dr. Derek J. Nelson

    Derek J. Nelson, DC is a Rapid City chiropractor who serves Rapid City and the surrounding communities in the Black Hills of western SD .

    Dr. Nelson is originally from Burke SD in south central SD.  His grandfather, Dr. JJ Nelson, was a chiropractor in Burke SD from 1956 until 1997.  Seeing the impact his grandfather had on this small community was a huge influence on Dr. Nelson becoming a chiropractor himself.  He attended SDSU for his undergraduate studies, and then to Northwestern Health Sciences University in Bloomington, MN - the same school his grandfather graduated from.  Immediately after graduation in 2008, Dr. Nelson moved to Rapid City to start his career and has enjoyed the Rapid City community ever since.
