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

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

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

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 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

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’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

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 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

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

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

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

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

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

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 newspaper. After my first visit, I decided 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 even kilter to help keep the aches and pains at bay. – M.M

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

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 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 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

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

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

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

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 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’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 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

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
