Thank you so much for your services. I have been in pain for a very long time. You are amazing and extremely knowledgeable, I appreciate all the time and care you’ve taken to really listen to the issues that I had. I can not thank you enough!– K.P

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!– M.H

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. – M.L

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. – M.F

Nelson is the most amazing acupuncturist I have been treated by. I have had shoulder pain and was told the only solution was surgery. I’ve also had patella tendinitis and both were healed by Nelson in a very timely order! Highly recommended!! -M.D

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 highly recommend Nelson Comerci. Through his expertise care, I have avoided back surgery for ruptured discs. Having tried several acupuncturists throughout 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. – E.W

Thanks, the Session was awesome. Jaw a bit sorer, but take it as chi moving through and bringing more healing to the area. Overall feel a greater movement of energy. Also so enjoy discussing info with you. Very insightful! – K.R

Nelson Comerci and Ponderay Acupuncture changed my life and gave me hope when I felt Western medicine had failed me. In late 2018, I was diagnosed with spontaneous osteonecrosis, meaning the lower portion of my left femur had lost its blood supply. Over the following months, four different orthopedic doctors could not explain why it happened or offer a treatment that could help. As the disease progressed, I was even told that I could potentially lose my leg. On the advice of a friend, I began treatment with Nelson in April. Through acupuncture and phlebotomy, I began to see remarkable changes in my healing. After 12 weeks of treatment, my MRI showed that the bone had healed and blood flow had been restored to my femur, much to the amazement of my orthopedist. I know I still have healing ahead of me, but I am incredibly grateful for how far I’ve come. With Nelson’s help, I have hope for a full recovery. – T.D.

It was fate that brought me to this place. My piriformis muscle was giving me so much pain for so long that I was suffering with anger and depression. I never had acupuncture before, but I had heard so many positive things about it. The great thing about acupuncture is it can treat the whole if you are willing to listen and do your part. Don’t worry you won’t feel the needles going in, but you will feel a little jolt. Please be patient and do your part I promise you will be glad you did. It gave me my life back. I catch myself smiling all the time and I remember to be thankful and to picture myself strong and pain free. Zig Ziggler said: “What you believe you can achieve”. Nels has spent years practicing this art of healing and he is very good at it. -M.C

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 to 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!! – J.H

After falling down a staircase and severely injuring my jaw and face, I was left with significant facial numbness as my damaged nerves slowly recovered. I decided to take my healing to the next level and began seeing Nelson at Boundary Acupuncture. I immediately felt comfortable with his knowledge as a Licensed Acupuncturist & Herbalist. Nelson’s skills have helped me with my nerve issues and also helped me better understand and manage my hormonal health. As aging brings its share of challenges, I’m grateful to have someone who helps me stay balanced and keep the aches and pains at bay. – M.M.

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. – D.H

I had 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 being 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! -A.G

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. – E.P

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. – P.A 

Most relaxing therapeutic and effective acupuncture I’ve ever experienced. Leg pain and neck pain are nearly resolved after years of treatment at a clinic in my former hometown. – D.J

I began seeing Nelson for tennis elbow. After a number of visits, 6-7, I can’t remember but the problem was relieved. I was so impressed with his professionalism, knowledge, and positive approach to my health that I continued to see him for routine “tune-ups.” i will back to see him whenever I need help. – J.R

I have not previously been treated with acupuncture but working with Nelson has been a true blessing.  His methodical and professional treatment has resulted in some amazing results in several areas including hip, shoulder, arm, and neck pain. I believe that Nelson’s meticulous and detailed treatment records, investigative spirit, and many years’ experience contribute significantly to positive results.  It surely does not hurt that treatment is always a relaxed and enjoyable experience. Thank you, Nelson, for your calm and confident demeanor as well as your commitment to the wellbeing of your patients/clients. – S.P

I’m 68 yrs old and have going to acupuncture for about 40 yrs off and on. It has helped heal my organ issues and my physical pain ,,,like a couple of car accidents and a few injuries from outrigger canoe paddling. I have even had acupuncture when I was getting my teeth removed in the dentist office. When my son was 7 yrs old he got rheumatic fever and had Acupuncture every week for about a year as it affected his heart ,,he’s fine now at 43 .Our family has always gone to alternative medical practices. You’re in good hands here be well . -D.M

I’ve been benefitting from the healing powers of acupuncture for more than 8 years. I recently moved to Sandpoint & Nelson was recommended to me. His treatment has helped me tremendously with not only pain management, but healing. His being a certified herbalist has been a huge bonus. His acupuncture skills & herbal supplements are a winning combination & have greatly improved my quality of life. I believe in investing in my own health & anyone who feels the same should consider utilizing Nelson’s expert care. -A.H

In the last 5 months I have changed my body and my life.  Sounds grandiose but it is true. At 75, with the help of Nelson Comerci, (Ponderay Acupuncture) who has helped me reconnect with my body and my own healing powers.  He is an amazing acupuncturist because, in the tradition of Traditional Chinese Medicine, he gifts us with the power of our own energy.  I have lost weight, I am re-building my GI system and have unfrozen my shoulders. Nelson Comerci is my partner in health and wellness; with his help of listening, learning, acupuncture and herbs has helped me reconnect with myself.  He has helped me change myself, from the inside out. If you are interested in reclaiming your health, I strongly recommend Nelson. He has graduated from the highest schools, studied the art of healing with masters and lucky for you, he is right here in town. – K.L

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.  – D.D

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

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 than I have in a long time so thank you. – J.V

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

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. -S.B

I have been seeing Nelson for several years on a regular basis. He is truly an artist with needles. He keeps my 88-year-old body upright and functioning. I am very happy with the results. – H.M.B

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

Thanks for realigning my compass!!!! Down to 16 units of insulin from 25.  Still losing weight.  Getting a lot more exercise and good mental activity. Thanks again… would love to drop in for a session!!! – G.G

I was hesitant to try acupuncture but curious if it could help with chronic health issues that I’ve had for a while. I was extremely nervous but Nelson was AMAZINGLY supportive that first visit. He communicates how each point supports your health and patiently addresses any questions you might have about the process. Nelson is a wealth of information and can also provide recommendations for supplements, activities, etc. to help you outside of the office visit too. I had almost resigned myself to living a life of discomfort and pain but acupuncture has brought me relief I could not find elsewhere. I have been able to do and accomplish more than I have in years and am confident that this treatment method has been a huge part of that. I encourage everyone I know that might be suffering health issues they can’t get resolved to try it. It could be the difference between staying stuck in a place that you don’t want to be or improved health that lets you enjoy life again. -M.S

The treatment that I received last night from Nelson worked excellently. I got more sleep and am feeling 100% better this morning. I’m looking forward to more bloodletting and cupping. – R.M

I’ve been a client of Ponderay Acupuncture for about a year now, since moving to the area. My experience overall with the healing power of acupuncture spans more than eight years, which enables me to know quality treatment when I receive it. Nelson’s knowledge, compassion and care makes him the best of the best. When you add his office manager, Mikaela’s impeccable organization and management skills you won’t find better customer service elsewhere. I’m grateful to Nelson & Mikaela for all they do to help me manage my pain and have a better quality of life. – A.H

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

Thank you Ponderay Acupuncture. I have been coming in for Acupuncture by Nelson for a few months and it has helped me find my Chi, which has made me feel healthier, happier, and younger. – A.F

Nelson is awesome. He has kept me active without surgery and helped in other areas I didn’t even know he could help! Highly recommended as an alternative to regular invasive surgery.  – T.B

I have been extremely pleased with the healing help that I have received at Ponderay Acupuncture. Nelson Comerci demonstrates genuine empathy and expertise in dealing with all my health issues and that of my son. I highly recommend him to everyone. – D.H

Nelson provides a safe haven for treatment — an oasis of calm. I am very impressed with his wealth of knowledge and expertise, as well as the feeling of rapport and relaxation he creates during his treatments. And this ancient, highly respected modality works! – M.V

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.  – M.K & R.K

I was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy 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

I experienced burning throughout my body and for years the medical doctors were unable to address this condition successfully. I am very glad that I found Back Pain Solution Clinic in Hayden.  Nelson Comerci, a licensed acupuncturist is very knowledgeable!  He explains the acupuncture points being applied and what parts of the body each point will stimulate.  After 4 visits, I was noticing the burning sensation lessening. I would highly recommend this facility and Nelson! -N.D

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.– J.C & C.C

Ponderay Acupuncture changed my life! After four years of suffering from hives, I thought I would be plagued with this terrible skin condition for the rest of my life. Dermatologists and allergists were stumped as to their cause and could offer me partial relief at best. Then I discovered Ponderay Acupuncture and met the quietly phenomenal Nelson Ivan Comerci. In five treatments the hives were gone, treated at their source which turned out to be the liver. Nelson is dedicated to the health and well-being of his patients. His depth and breadth of knowledge is quite amazing, and yet he can explain the complexities clearly and concisely so you can partner with him in maximizing and maintaining your health. – T.P

After a series of catastrophic and stressful events, I developed an extremely painful and frightening case of shingles in my ear and face. The pain was intense and traveled along my nerves. My wife suggested acupuncture, and I decided to try it. During my first treatment, the acupuncturist also prescribed Chinese herbs. To my amazement, the shingles resolved quickly. I had expected to feel claustrophobic being “pinned down,” so I asked to have the door left open. Instead, I immediately relaxed and fell fast asleep. My body and mind seemed to recognize that I was finally in a safe, peaceful place where someone was gently and thoughtfully helping me heal. That experience changed the way I think about acupuncture. I love the calm, unhurried treatments and the feeling that something meaningful is happening beneath the surface. I now look forward to every visit and often fall asleep for a blissful hour while my body does what it needs to do. The ongoing treatments help keep me feeling balanced and, as my original acupuncturist always said, “tuned up.” -T.B

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 is 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. – C.P

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 cancer.  I had already been assured by Nelson that I was cancer-free.  The VA’s exam proved to simply be a backup 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. – J.W

I went in to see Nelson last week with a knee that felt like I was hit with 10 sledge hammers. Excruciating pain. Hard to sleep. Hard to sit. Hard to stand. I was in extreme pain for a month. He had a plan. He took some I believe Moxxa and along with needles placed as he knows where. Heat from the Moxxa (I think that is the spelling) took away over 90%-95% of the pain. It has stayed away all week so far. So grateful and happy. Thank you Nelson – J.R

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 through 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, lifestyle advice, and his reminders on how to live in the present, I am now off all medications and thriving. – V.T

It was fate that brought me to this place. My piriformis muscle was giving me so much pain for so long that I was suffering with anger and depression.

Nelson is a highly knowledgeable practitioner of the healing arts. He is also a compassionate, profoundly committed exponent of Chinese medical science. Our family is exceedingly grateful for his consistently outstanding care. – M.H

Wow… should that really have worked so fast? – J.W

Thanks for realigning my compass!!!! Down to 16 units of insulin from 25.  Still losing weight.  Getting a lot more exercise and good mental activity. Thanks again… would love to drop in for a session!!! – G.G

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. -D.B

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. – G.H

I was being treated for COPD and SOB by a medical specialist in Coeur d’alene for serval years. I took many different prescription medications, some with very adverse reactions. I was treated by Nelson Comerci with excellent results. I no longer take any medications and the COPD and SOB seem to have gone away. Nelson Comerci and Mikaela, the office manager are very professional and personable. I have been treated for different complaints and within a few treatments, I no longer have symptoms. – D.W

The 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! – C.V

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

I love acupuncture! You have no idea how much this has helped me with everything. I’ve been looking for someone to help me holistically, and I finally found you, so thank you from the bottom of my heart. – D.F
