About Us
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. He is passionate about finding the exact cause of your health problem and not simply treat the many and varied symptoms. 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 started his professional career as a Chiropractor and has been in practice for over 14 years. He still attends monthly seminars to develop and hone his clinical skills. Dr. Erickson has logged countless hours of continuing education in neurology and metabolic conditions. 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”. Dr. Erickson graduated with his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer Chiropractic College in Davenport, IA in 1997. Other post graduate and continued educational 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: 1) They don’t have all of the information that they need to fix the problem and 2) 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.
Third, Dr. Erickson is not like most chiropractors whose primary focus is just musculoskeletal conditions or, perhaps even, nutritional. From his years of experience, training in neurology and with Dr. Kharrazian and Dr. Johnson, Dr. Erickson has learned how to effectively help patients who suffer the symtpoms from chronic conditions such as Peripheral Neuropathy, Fibromyalgia, Thyroid Conditions, Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Autoimmunity, and many other chronic conditions.
Dr. Erickson is able to help people who suffer with chronic conditions because he treats patients metabolically, neurologically, energetically, nutritionally, structurally and dietarily.
By using specific Metabolic and Neurological testing Dr. Erickson LEAVES NO STONE UNTURNED TO DETERMINE THE EXACT CAUSE OF YOUR CONDITION.
Why does Dr. Erickson do what he does?
Dr. Erickson has often been asked what prompted the direction that his clinical practice has taken. He became passionately involved in the treatment of Chronic Conditions when several members of his immediate family were diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroid and Type I Diabetes. When the Medical and Alternative care doctors were unable to provide adequate relief from the debilitating symptoms of Hashimoto’s (fatigue, forgetfulness, sluggishness, cold hands or feet, difficulty losing weight, depression, headaches, lack of motivation, hair loss, and many more), Dr. Erickson took it upon himself to find a better and more natural way to handle these conditions and help his family. After much research Dr. Erickson discovered that Hashimoto’s AND Type I Diabetes as well as many other chronic conditions are really due to an autoimmune disease. (An autoimmune disease is when the body’s own immune system is attacking and destroying its own tissues). Giving hormone replace pills or other drugs to manage symptoms is not enough to stop the autoimmune disease from continuing its destructive pathway. The real solution is to stop or dampen the auto immune response, followed by the repair and rehabilitation of the damaged tissue. This can be accomplished in most cases with advanced brain based therapy, oxygen therapy and specific nutritional support.
Dr. Erickson has a proven method with patients with chronic illness, however not all are a “good fit”.
