Recovery & wellness

Pain rarely comes from just one place

Many patients come to us after trying stretching, rest, medication, or treatment focused on a single area. Those can bring temporary relief, but symptoms often return.

The body works as a connected system. Joints, muscles and movement patterns all influence one another, so when only one part is addressed, the rest keeps adding stress.

Dr. Nelson combines targeted chiropractic care, soft tissue work, massage therapy and functional rehabilitation to support proper movement, improve function and help results hold up over time.

Conditions we help with

Care focuses on understanding why the problem keeps showing up, not just easing it for a day.

Back pain

Pain that makes sitting, standing or moving through the day uncomfortable. Often builds from posture, repetitive stress or old injuries.

Sciatica or nerve pain

Pain, tingling or numbness into the arms or legs that changes with movement or posture.

Sports injuries

Strains, joint pain and old injuries that resurface with activity. Care supports full recovery, not rushing back too soon.

Neck pain

Tightness or stiffness from work, screens, stress or poor sleep. May limit movement or contribute to headaches.

Shoulder pain

Discomfort or limited movement from overuse, strain or poor movement patterns.

Auto accident injuries

Neck, back and soft tissue pain that can appear days or weeks after a crash.

We accept New York No-Fault

Headaches

Recurring headaches often linked to neck tension, posture or muscle strain.

Jaw pain or TMJ

Clicking, tension or soreness often tied to stress, clenching or neck posture.

Stiffness and limited movement

Trouble bending, turning or moving freely, from age, inactivity or old injuries.

I have been involved with chiropractic care throughout my life, and my ex was also a chiropractor, so I have a great deal of experience with the profession. Craig is truly a standout. His deep understanding of total wellness and his ability to identify and address the root cause of an issue sets him apart from the rest. As a Pilates instructor at Saratoga Sweat, I need full movement and absolute health to continue to lead our community towards strength and wellness. I initially went to Craig with severe hip pain after being told I would need a total hip replacement. I could not stand upright and was in terrible pain throughout all my waking and sleeping hours. Within just one month of working with Craig, my body feels essentially healed, and I feel better than I have in my entire adult life. I cannot give Craig enough accolades to fully express my gratitude for his extraordinary knowledge, skill, and talent. The difference he has made in my life is truly remarkable. I recommend him without hesitation!

Craig at Intrinsic is the best after going to two other chiropractors he found my problem and fixed it. I was in severe pain for a month before I went to him. I highly recommend Intrinsic Chiropractic !

I do not often rate any individual or a business but Dr Nelson has made such a difference in my life for many years. He has kept me out of pain and does what needs to be done to give me relief, quickly and efficiently. He is by far the absolute best Chiropractor I’ve found! I highly recommend Dr Nelson for any spine, neck, hips whatever is causing you pain, he does it all.

Dr. Craig is the best in the business. As a healthcare professional, I am very selective in who I seek treatment from. I admire Dr. Craig’s holistic based approach in treating the root cause vs. chasing symptoms. I recently had an acute injury and as a business owner and father of three young children, I can’t afford to sit on the sidelines for long. I appreciated Dr. Craig seeing me quickly and getting me moving in the right direction. Appreciate his help and the care he provides our local community!

Dr. Craig is the man! I followed him from his former office in Clifton Park, where he helped me get through injuries that might have taken me out of some major endurance competitions I was planning to compete in. Now I drive 50 minutes each way so he can help my body do a much more physical job than I ever had before. He is down to Earth. If you live closer than I do, you are lucky to have him in you neighborhood.

As someone who has relied on chiropractic care throughout my sports career, I understand the value and effectiveness of the practice — and his expertise truly stands out. Knowledgeable, confident, and thorough, he has helped me with everything from back pain to more complex health concerns. I’m a walking testimonial and highly recommend him to anyone seeking quality chiropractic care.
