Am I a candidate for Dr. Erickson’s treatments?

Not all patients will be accepted into our program. Dr. Erickson will make a determination of treatment acceptance after an initial evaluation. See our TWO FREE Trial Visits.

Why do you use Oxygen Therapy?

Your brain and nervous system need two things to survive: Fuel and Activation. Fuel comes in the form of oxygen and glucose. As we age our ability to use oxygen decreases. Oxygen therapy will help you get better faster!

Are your treatments safe?

Yes, extremely safe and painless.

I go to a chiropractor now, what is the difference?

Dr. Erickson’s approach includes chiropractic, but his extended education also allows him to look at health issues from a neurological, metabolic, and laboratory view. It is precisely this expanded view that allows him to get results where others have not.

What is the 2 Free Trial Visit program all about?
The 2 Free Trial Visit program is a way for you to meet with Dr. Erickson to determine if you are a candidate for care in his office without any financial risk. It will allow Dr. Erickson to determine if you meet the criteria for care and if he will accept your case. If you want to continue with treatment after the 2 visits it is entirely up to you. Click Here.

Do I need to change my lifestyle to get better?

There is a good chance that you will need to make some adjustments to your current lifestyle – particularly if they are contributing to your health situation. If you are a candidate for care, Dr. Erickson will discuss with you what changes need to be made to optimize your results.

Do I need to stop taking my medications?

Please be advised that Dr. Erickson will never tell you to stop taking your medications. That’s called practicing medicine without a license. As your symptoms improve during the course of care, Dr. Erickson will recommend that you return to your physician to adjust medication levels.

Will my insurance cover the treatments?

As with most alternative care, there is usually limited insurance coverage. Our office will print off a service sheet that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. In matters of health, it is best to be prepared to pay out-of-pocket. *If insurance comes through, considerate it a bonus.

How much do your treatments costs?

It varies due to individual patient findings. After a thorough review of your case, Dr. Erickson will determine the course of care for your specific case.

Do I need to go outside of the office for labwork?

We have contracted with local labs to perform the necessary tests. Some labs are test kits that are sent home with you to perform and drop in the mail. Getting the necessary lab work done is efficient and convenient in our office.

I have read through your website and watched the videos and like your approach. How do I become a patient?

-Debra C.-

———————————————————————————-

One of my favorite things to do is dance. I had begun to limit the amount of dancing I did due to pain in my right hip.

In a way I was in doubt about the ability of this program to help. After a couple of visits I noticed I was walking with less pain.

I also took a trip outside the US that required a great deal of walking and I did not have a single problem.

The true test came one night when I went out dancing and decided to throw all caution to the wind. I danced and danced and the next morning I figured I would have pain, but I did not.

I am a dedicated person of exercise and I have also noticed an increase in my stamina.

I feel I have been rewarded by feeling better and better.

-Lillian-

———————————————————————————-

I feel so much better with the therapy techniques that Dr. Erickson has administered. I even forgot about a stomach pain that I have had in the past until it came up in a conversation when we were reviewing my progress of becoming pain free. I am more energized, I’ve lost some weight, and I feel a little “buzz” of better circulation all over from head to toe. The biggest improvement is in the reduction of intermittent dull sinus headaches which used to be almost constant. Now, The headaches are very mild and very infrequent, but they are still a “work-in-progress”!

-Mary P.-

———————————————————————————-

Since starting the program, I have noticed and improvement of less pain in my hands and feet due to diabetes. The intense periodic pain such as shooting, burning, sharp, stabbing, seems to have gone away. Pain is reduced to a dull feeling. Also the intensity of numbness has lessened considerably. This was one of the priority issues I was wanting corrected.

-Rita-

———————————————————————————-

I started seeing Dr. Erickson due to problems with my knees, back and also, consultation regarding losing weight. Over the last two months I have seen significant progress with my issues. I can now go shopping with little or no pain in my knees and regarding my back, I can stand longer periods of time. So far, I have lost 12 pounds and feel like a big rock has been lifted off of me. I have more to smile about now than before I started seeing Dr. Erickson. I am beginning to feel more like a young fifty seven year old than an elderly woman. I feel more like going out and enjoying life to the fullest.

-Linden A.-

———————————————————————————-

Before:

I felt awful all of the time, I slept terribly (waking up with insomnia every night, several times a night, my skin was off-color and pasty, I was grouchy and irritable and even depressed most of the time.

After:

Now I sleep like a baby for 8 hours straight, I’m happy and even my complexion is better, my aches and pains are gone. I feel healthier than I have ever been.

-Kathy K.-

———————————————————————————-

I feel so much better in all ways. I am sleeping better, I have much more energy and my complexion is clearer and not as red anymore. I don’t have cravings for anything. My hair is starting to grow in [she lost all her hair due to illness]; my nails are getting longer and stronger, even my toenail fungus is starting to go away.

I knew I felt bad before, but I didn’t realize how bad until I started feeling good.

I used to take pain medication up to 4 times a day. Now I don’t take any. I used to get migraines a lot – I haven’t had one for awhile. My blood pressure is down where it should be.

The program is worth every penny and more.

-Viola G.-

I have not had any more hot flashes! And I enjoy blankets and snuggling with my husband again! (He noticed this and appreciates it!!)

-Christi E.-

———————————————————————————-

For the past year or so, I couldn’t walk for long periods of time which made it difficult to do any shopping. I would have to get in/get out, or take my kids with me and send them in the store. If I did have to for any length of time I would have to go to Wal-Mart to get everything at one time because they have those cards you can ride. Well after 4 visits with Dr. Erickson, I was able to walk about 40 minutes around Wal-Mart and not have any problems then or afterwards! Thank you Dr. Erickson.

-Melody-

———————————————————————————-

I am very happy with the process I’m feeling. I have come now for 3 weeks, with 8 treatments. I lost the pain in my right shoulder; my neck [pain] and my tennis elbow are completely gone. My right knee, which hurt considerably when climbing stairs and quite often while walking, is much better. I have no pain while walking anymore and climbing stairs has improved too. It appears that my lower back is also improving.

-Petra H.-

———————————————————————————-

In the short time (1 week) that I have been on the program there have been some very positive changes. My cravings for sweets is gone, no need for Alka Seltzer or TUMS at night, feeling full after a meal and no coffee. Since I am diabetic, I was elated that my blood sugar readings have gone down drastically.

-Carolyn R.-

———————————————————————————-

My asthma is improving after 10 days. My waist is two inches smaller. My energy is much better and getting better every day. I’m never hungry. I love the program. Without a coach I don’t believe I could have done it. My neck pain has gone away.

-Maria P.-

———————————————————————————-

Able to bend to tie shoes a little more easily, shirts more loose overall, able to walk with much less pain, especially sciatica, less out of breath, feel lighter when walking and more flexibility when walking, feeling coming back into my feet and legs, able to breathe better, feel much less hungry, not getting cravings, able to go up and down stairs more easily, more flexibility in the upper part of the body, feel relief and am more optimistic that there is hope for feeling better and getting better in healthy ways and that I don’t have to resort to other less healthy ways that don’t solve the root of the problem.

-Anna P.-

———————————————————————————-

I have suffered from back pain for years. I did heavy lifting at my previous job for about 4 years. During that time, I went to chiropractors and I had massage done for years. The pain eased a bit, but it never went away. There were days I could barely get out of bed. I would actually have to roll out of bed. It was like some sort of acrobatic feat just to get out of bed. I figured part of my back problem was because of my stomach weight problem. I found out it wasn’t true.

After my first appointment with Dr. Erickson, the pain wasn’t as bad. When I got up the next morning, I got right up and it didn’t dawn on me until I was up and about, that I didn’t have to fight to get up. I am really amazed. Even now, about 2 weeks later, I am just getting out of bed without any issues. Thank you so much.

-Ursula M.-

———————————————————————————-

A serious health concern for many years has been my leg blood clots in both varicose veins, and a great amount of discomfort and weakness. In 2005, I had laser treatments and some saline injections done. Although the procedure ended up relieving many of the problems, the healing process was very lengthy and painful.

Since being a patient of Dr. Erickson, I have experienced much improvement in both legs and even made speedy progress recovering from plantar fasciitis. On January 3, 2008, I had my final laser procedure done on one leg, this time my recovery has been rapid, with no need to use the prescription for pain medication. In four days I was back exercising and have enjoyed some lengthy shopping trips. Turning 70 on Dec. 29^th has made me extra aware of my blessings, one of which has been Dr. Erickson.

-Marilyn S.-

———————————————————————————-

I used to be a 35 year old lady who felt like she was going on 55-60 years old, and now I feel closer to my own age. This treatment has helped relieve some old pains; like my knees and feet hurt everyday and now they do not. I used to have weekly migraines and now they have greatly diminished.

-Betsy W.-

———————————————————————————-

Thank you for helping my body heal after nearly 20 years of pain. The method of healing you are using has not only taken away almost all of my pains, but has turned my poor eating habits into an acceptable way of life, giving me more energy and highly improving my elimination.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your help.

-Bev F.-

———————————————————————————-

I started this program being unable to kneel at all and severe migraines. Now, I can run, kneel, jump and I can’t remember the last time I had a migraine.

-John R.-

———————————————————————————-

I have much more energy and stamina. I work much more in a very stressful job since starting the program I noticed that I have a lot more patience.

Prior to starting with Dr. Erickson, I did not fall asleep thorough the night and often suffered from insomnia. Now I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow and sleep through the night. Around the fifth day of the program, I was suffering from a horrible cold and I asked if they still wanted to see me – YES, come in. [With treatment] I left feeling 100% healthy – no headache, no runny nose, nothing.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT FROM EVERY OTHER DOCTOR THAT YOU HAVE SEEN?

We look at you as a human being and not just a Digestive System.

I LEAVE NO STONE IS LEFT UNTURNED TO DETERMINE THE EXACT
CAUSE OF YOUR PROBLEM!

NO ONE HAS TOLD YOU WHAT I AM ABOUT TO TELL YOU…….

I will address: How I successfully help people with the symptoms of
Digestion/IBS…AND…What makes my program unique.

————————————————————————————————————————–

HOW DO I SUCCESSFULLY HELP PEOPLE WITH
DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS?

I help my patients metabolically, neurologically, structurally, energetically, AND dietarily!
This is very important!
Like a puzzle with many pieces – I find that chronic health issues (like IBS/CONSTIPATION) are…

Part metabolic (having to do with body function)
Part neurological (having to do with the brain and nerves)
Part structural (having to do with the alignment of the body)
Part energetic (having to do with the body’s energy centers and balance)
Part diet (having to do with balanced nutrition, food allergies, and habits)

You have to address ALL the parts of health.

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS: SPECIFIC METABOLIC TESTING

I:Complete Blood Panel:

By using specific blood tests such as:

• A Comprehensive Executive Metabolic Panel: includes 24 important disease markers such as Glucose, A1c (blood sugar), SGOT, SGPT, GGT, Biliruben (Liver), BUN, Creatinine, Uric Acid (Kidney), Alkaline Phosphatase (Bone)
• A Cardiovascular Panel: includes Cholesterol, Triglycerides, LDL, HDL, VLDL, Cholesterol/HDL Ratio, LDL/HDL Ration, Fibrinogen, C-Reactive Protein (CRP)
• Iron/Anemia Panel: includes TIBC, UIBC, Serum Iron, Iron Saturation, Serum Ferritin
• Inflammatory Markers: C-Reactive Protein, Homo-cysteine
• A CBC (complete blood chemistry with auto differential): includes Red Blood Cell counts, White Blood Cell counts, Platelet counts.
• Urinalysis

We can assess your thyroid, adrenal glands, liver, kidneys, red/white blood cells and gut function with the above lab tests. All can be affected with chronic health conditions. By addressing any problems with your thyroid, adrenal glands, blood chemistry, or gut function, we can help you to heal faster. The CMP also allows us to check your blood glucose levels since glucose and oxygen are needed by the brain to function properly.

CRITICAL POINT: I am aware of the fact that you have had blood testing done before (and you may have been told that everything was normal), but your test results must be compared to FUNCTIONAL values and not the PATHOLOGICAL values of the labs. Traditional lab testing is designed to catch disease, but not the departure from health. They allow too many things to slip through!!!

Example:

Glucose values (12 hour fasting):
Pathological Values for Normal: 65-99
Functional Values for Normal: 85-99

*Notice how different the ranges are. If you were to have your blood drawn from the lab or the health fair and it were 70 – you would be told that everything was normal, however look below at the functional values – you could be dealing with hypoglycemia and wouldn’t know it.

Hypoglycemic: 84 or less
Insulin resistance/pre-diabetes: 100-126
Diabetes: 127 or higher

Not only must the correct tests be ordered, but they must be interpreted by FUNCTIONAL values.

The FIVE (5) priorities when assessing the bloodwork; they are:

1) Autoimmune, 2) Anemia, 3) Blood sugar/ASI, 4) GI/liver, 5) Fatty acid metabolism

If these are present and not identified and worked on, they will slow progress, not matter what you do.
OUT-OF-BALANCE BLOOD SUGAR, ELEVATED INFLAMMATORY MARKERS, INFECTION PATTERNS, AUTOIMMUNE ANTIBODIES, POOR DIGESTION (just to name a few) ARE “DEAL BREAKERS” – MEANING, THAT YOUR BODY (ESPECIALLY YOUR NERVES) CANNOT WORK ON HEALING WHEN THESE THINGS ARE PRESENT.

II: Thyroid Function Evaluation:

If you have DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS or suspect that you have one, you need to have your thyroid fully evaluated. Traditional thyroid testing begins and ends with testing your TSH levels. Thyroid function can be affected by a variety of things and simply testing for TSH levels is ignoring the other variables. Testing for TSH is not enough.

What other tests of the thyroid are important?

• Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (THS): this is the hormone “message” sent from a gland in the brain (the pituitary) to the thyroid.
• Free T3: an important hormone produced by the thyroid gland, considered to be the more biologically active hormone.
• Free T4: another important hormone produced by the thyroid gland.
• Thyroid Binding Globulin (TBG): This test measures the amount of proteins in the blood that transport thyroid hormones to the cells. Elevated testosterone can lower TBG levels and elevated estrogen can raise TBG levels. Both can produce hypothyroid symptoms.
• Thyroid Antibodies (TGB & TPO): checked in suspected cases of autoimmune thyroid disorders (see below)
• Total T4: this is a reflection of how much total T4 hormone there is in the blood.
• Total T3: this is a reflection of how much total T3 hormone there is in the blood.
• Free Thyroxine Index (FTI): this is an estimate of how much thyroxine is in the blood.
• Resin T3 Uptake (T3U): this test measures the unsaturated binding sites on the thyroid proteins.

WHEN THE THYROID IS NOT EVALUATED THOROUGHLY ENOUGH, AN INCOMPLETE PICTURE AS TO WHAT IS REALLY THE PROBLEM ARISES – THIS CAN LEAD TO POOR OR MISMANAGEMENT OF CARE. THE THYROID REGULATES METABOLISM. YOUR METABOLISM REGULATES THE RATE AT WHICH THE BODY CAN REBUILD/HEAL.

III: Inflammation:

We need to test for inflammation in your system by testing homo cysteine levels and C-Reactive Protein (C-RP). Many patients suffering from chronic health conditions suffer from inflammatory processes. Just about every IBS/CONSTIPATION patient that I have treated suffers from some form of chronic inflammatory process.
AS MENTIONED ABOVE, INFLAMMATION IS TOXIC TO BRAIN CELLS. YOU CANNOT HEAL NERVES WHILE YOUR BODY IS FIGHTING A FIRE (an inflammation) ELSEWHERE IN THE BODY. APPROPRIATE TESTING AND ASSESSMENT IS CRUCIAL.

IV. Immune Challenges—EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!:

Your DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS could be caused by an auto immune condition. Your immune system could be attacking your brain and nervous system. This is why the immune challenges are so important.

• TH1 is T-cells. T-cells are the army that attacks and cleans up afterword. (Helper T-cells, Suppressor T-cells, NKC, regulatory T-cells, and macrophages.
• TH2 is B-cells. B-cells make anti-bodies. They tell T-cells what to kill. If the testing comes back with a high B-cell count, the patient is TH2 dominant.
• TH17. This part of the immune system is stimulated by an imbalance; a predominance of either the TH1 or TH2 side. When the TH17 side is stimulated, cell/tissue death is taking place.

Appropriate testing or challenging of the Immune System can determine which part of the Immune System is out of balance.

You will want to determine if there is an active antigen or dysregulation.

Active antigens are parasites, bacteria, virus, mold, yeast, fungi, protozoan, foods, chemicals, and heavy metals.
IMMUNE PROBLEMS EQUATE TO INFLAMMATION. INFLAMMATION IS TOXIC TO BRAIN CELLS. YOU CANNOT ADDRESS A CHRONIC HEALTH PROBLEM WITH AN IMMUNE PROBLEM. IF YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT YOU HAVE ONE AUTOIMMUME PROBLEM THE LIKELIHOOD OF YOU HAVING ANOTHER OR GETTING ANOTHER DRAMATICALLY INCREASES. THIS MUST BE RULED OUT BY THE RIGHT TYPE OF TESTING.

V: Adrenal Stress Test (AST):

You can test the adrenal glands with a test called an Adrenal Stress Index. This is a salivary test much like DNA testing. The adrenal glands sit right above the kidneys and they are your “stress” organs meaning that they react to stress. If you have been or are currently under stress, this test is a must!

IF YOU SUFFER FROM INSOMNIA AND/OR DIABETES, THIS TEST IS A MUST! IT WILL MEASURE YOUR CORTISOL LEVELS. ADRENAL GLAND PROBLEMS WILL MESS UP SLEEP CYCLES. YOU SO MOST OF YOUR HEALING WHILE YOU SLEEP. YOU CANNOT FIX THIS PROBLEM BY FOCUSING ONLY ON THE ADRENALS. THIS IS NOT FIXED BY TAKING A “GLANDULAR” ADRENAL SUPPLEMENT.

VI. Intestinal Permeability/”Leaky Gut” Problems:

LGS or Leaky gut syndrome describes a condition of altered or damaged bowel lining, caused by antibiotics, toxins, poor diet, parasites or infection can lead to increased permeability of the gut wall to toxins, microbes, undigested food, waste or larger than normal macromolecules. It has been proposed that these substances affect the body directly, while others postulate an immune reaction to these substances.

MANY IMMUNE PROBLEMS START WITH A GUT PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM CANNOT BE FIXED BY STEROID INJECTIONS OR EVEN A VITAMIN OR PILL.

VII. Sensitivity Testing:

To determine if you have a sensitivity to gluten (wheat, rye, oats, and barley) and gluten-associated sensitivity and cross reactivity. If you are sensitive to ANY of these food groups, it could be making your DIGESTIVE PROBLEM worse as it will increase inflammation in your brain and throughout your body!

If you know you have CELIAC’S or an AUTOIMMUNE THYROID, you need to be off all gluten….NOW!

Here are some of the symptoms of these sensitivities:

• Chronic pain or fatigue
• Frequent indigestion
• Bloated after eating
• Frequent loose bowel movements
• Constipation
• Mouth ulcers or sores

The only way to find out of you are suffering from any of these sensitivities is the run the test.
SENSITIVITIES TO KEY PROTEINS WILL LEAD TO DIGESTIVE DISTRESS, ANTIBODY PRODUCTION, POOR ASSIMILATION OF NUTRITION, WATER RETENTION, AND FAT CONVERSION. THIS IS NOT SIMPLY FIXED BY TAKING VITAMINS, DOING DETOXES, CHELATION THERAPIES, ETC.

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS: SPECIFIC NEUROLOGICAL TESTING AND TREATMENTS

I. Proper Evaluation:

Ask yourself this question: What part of the body runs the show? Answer: The brain and nervous system. If you have been trying to fix a health problem (including weight loss/gain) with no success – you must look towards the brain.

KEY POINT: Remember that the DIGESTION is run by the brain.
THE BRAIN RUNS THE SHOW, YET EVERYONE ELSE SEEMS TO BE TREATING THE SYMPTOMS OR THE MANIFESTATIONS OF NEURO-DEGENERATION INSTEAD OF EVALUATING THE BRAIN. THIS IS WHAT I DO!

II. Computerized Stress Test:

Most of us have (or have had in the past) very stressful lives. Too much stress can erode the brain’s mechanisms for handling stress. This can lead to “burn-out”, poor stress handling, decreased multi-tasking, etc. Through computer analysis, we can identify how your internal stress handling is working.

Low stress handling will lead to, among other things, sleep problems. If you don’t sleep well at night (meaning that you have difficulty getting to sleep, staying asleep, or do not feel refreshed in the morning, or need to take sleep aids to sleep) you cannot repair and rejuvenate the body and the nerves. The body heals as it gets deep restful sleep.
STRESS PLAYS A KEY ROLE IN THE BODY’S ABILITY TO STAY YOUNG AND HEALTHY. NOT EVALUATING HOW THE BODY HANDLES STRESS IS LEAVING OUT ESSENTIAL DATA IN PLANNING FOR THE RECOVERY OF THE BODY.

III. Oxygen Therapy:

Oxygen is fuel for your brain and nervous system. Your brain and nervous system need two things to survive…..fuel and activation. Fuel comes in the form of OXYGEN AND GLUCOSE. By using oxygen, we will help you heal faster. By using exercise with oxygen therapy (EWOT), we can increase firing to brain. By increasing firing of brain, we help MANY chronic conditions.
THE BRAIN CAN ONLY SURVIVE MINUTES WITHOUT OXYGEN. YEARS OF NOT GETTING THE BRAIN ENOUGH OXYGEN WILL HAVE DAMAGING EFFECTS.

IV. Chiropractic Specific Therapy:

Specific chiropractic work can greatly improve the effects of treatment by reducing pain, improving flexibility and joint movement and promoting relaxation in the joints, muscles and body.

V. Brain-Based Therapy (BBT):

We use specific therapies to stimulate and exercise deficient areas of the brain. These therapies can include vibration therapy, visual stimulation, balance stimulation, fast-stretch muscle stretching, auditory stimulation, etc.
THE BRAIN IS LIKE A MUSCLE IN THAT IF YOU DON’T USE IT – YOU WILL LOSE IT. IF CERTAIN AREAS OF THE BRAIN ARE NOT STIMULATED APPROPRIATELY, YOU WILL LOSE THE FUNCTION THAT THOSE AREAS OF THE BRAIN CONTROL. DOING SUDOKU OR CROSSWORDS PUZZLES IS NOT SPECIFIC ENOUGH REHAB MOST OF THE BRAIN.

Once we have run the necessary tests to determine your specific condition, we can successfully treat you via proper neurological and all natural nutritional protocols.

Ask yourself the following questions:

1) How have your DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS affected your relationships, finances, family, or other activities?

2) What has it cost you in time, money, happiness, sleep?

3) Where do you picture yourself in the next one to three years if this problem is not taken care of soon?

4) What is it worth to you if we could improve your condition?

If you are ready to have someone critically look at what has been done in the past,
what is currently being done to you and to work with the latest research and science
to end your DIGESTIVE nightmare…

From the Desk of Dr. John Erickson:

Dear Irritable Bowel Sufferer,

Some 60-70 million Americans are affected by Digestive Problems. With 13.5 million hospitilizations and a cost of $141.8 billion, digestive disorders affect many and are expensive. These problems can range from: Irritable bowel to chronic constipation to reflux to infections, to inflammation, etc.

My name is Dr. John Erickson. I am a not a medical doctor, I am a Chiropractor. I am not interested in dispensing drugs or treating your LABELS…or diagnoses, I AM interested in helping you find the underlying cause of your symptoms.

Most likely you are not getting results with your medication. So, what do you do when the drugs stop (or simply don’t) working?
Answer) You work with a doctor that understands how the body works and problems in one area can cause problems in others. I have studied extensively to bring my patients the best of science, alternative health and common sense.

If your doctor does not understand the complexities of Digestive health and function and simply treats the symptoms instead of the causes – your treatment WILL FAIL!

If your doctor DOES understand the complexities of Digestive health and approaches your care and recovery by looking at all of the pieces of your health: the neurology, the metabolics, the body structure, the lifestyle, the diet, etc. – your treatment will most likely SUCCEED! Yes, you can improve!

I have put this webpage together to give you answers to questions and to give you a new sense of hope.

• Are you tired of running from doctor to doctor only to play “Russian Roulette” with different medications? “Here try this drug, that didn’t work? Try this one!”
  
• Are you tired of taking drugs that don’t fix the problem?
• Do you continue to struggle with constant pain and chronic fatigue and depression day in and day out?
• Are you watching your kids grow up without you because you don’t have anything left to give?
• Are you having to face the reality that your quality of life is going downhill FAST?

I am here to tell you that there is NEW HOPE!

If you’re tired of dealing with this problem and you are worried about it getting worse, watch my videos, read the testimonials and fill out the form below for TWO FREE VISITS or call Denver: 303-758-0380 or Colorado Springs: 719-201-5628 to schedule a free consultation with me, Dr. Erickson, to learn how your Digestive condition can be helped.

DR. ERICKSON IS DIFFERENT FROM
EVERY OTHER DOCTOR YOU HAVE EVER MET

Welcome to The Health and Wellness Center, where Dr. Erickson works to deliver excellent care to all patients. His base training is as a chiropractor. He is passionate about finding the exact cause of your health problem and not simply treat the many and varied symptoms. His focus is on you and your needs and not simply on your diagnosis. His care enables his patients to live a happy and productive life.

What makes Dr. Erickson different?

First, Dr. Erickson has a vast amount of experience to draw from. He has been in practice for over 13 years and still attends frequent seminars to develop and hone his clinical skills. Dr. Erickson has logged countless hours of continuing education in neurology, metabolic conditions, nutrition and weight loss. Dr. Erickson has personally trained with Dr. Datis Kharrazian, the author of the book “Why do I still Have Thyroid Symptoms? When My Lab Test are Normal” and Dr. Michael Johnson, the author of “What do you do When the Medications Don’t Work” and Dr. Eric Berg, the author of “The Seven Principles of Fat Burning”.

Dr. Erickson graduated with his Doctor Of Chiropractic degree from Palmer Chiropractic College in Davenport, IA in 1997. Other post graduate studies include Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis, Functional Endocrinology, Neurotransmitters and Brain, NeuroPathway Technique, Nambudribad’s, Allergy Elimination Technique (NAET), Applied Neurology with Laser, NIMMO Receptor Tonus Technique, Brain Based Therapy, as well as multiple seminars on Nutrition, Thyroid, Male and Female Hormone Disorders, Stubborn (Hormonal) Weight and Clinical Research.

Second, Dr. Erickson is an educator. He firmly believes that in order for people to make the right decisions, they need to have all of the data. His workshops are designed, first and foremost, to educate and uplift those who attend. If you ask him why most people haven’t fixed their current health problem it is due to two things: a) They don’t have all of the information that they need to fix the problem and b) They haven’t met the right person. He supplies the, much-needed, information through his many workshops, websites, consultations and writings. He also believes that he is the “right person” for many people.

Dr. Erickson lives in Colorado Springs with his wife, their four children, and a hamster.

The Health and Wellness Center’s tagline is: Providers of Excellent Service.
