MEET OUR FOUNDER

DR. TIM NELSON

Our founder, Dr. Tim Nelson, brings a wealth of experience and compassion to Calmed Forces. Dr. Nelson joined the RAAF in 1999 and qualified on the RAAF F-111C in 2003. He completed the RAAF Fighter Combat Instructor (FCI) course in 2006 and was the FCI for the RAAF's No. 1 Squadron until he posted to the USAF as the Australian F-15E Exchange Officer in 2007. Returning to Australia in 2011, he played a leading role in the tactical implementation of the RAAF's new F/A-18F fighter aircraft. Promoted to SQNLDR, he became the RAAF EA-18G Project Office Tactical Operations Project Officer before transitioning to a career in medicine.

Dr. Nelson graduated from Griffith University in 2017 and, after completing his MD and hospital training, returned to the RAAF as a medical officer in 2021. He qualified as a fellow of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners after being medically discharged from the RAAF in 2022. As a veteran and chronic pain sufferer, Dr. Nelson is passionate about helping veterans manage their conditions and improve their quality of life with all available therapies.

After a highly successful and rewarding career in the ADF, Dr. Nelson sees it as his new vocation to use the skills and experience he has gained with his time in defence to improve the lives of fellow veterans.

Effective pain management requires a personalised approach. Our health care planning services involve creating detailed, individualised plans that incorporate various treatment modalities. This ensures that each veteran receives a comprehensive and cohesive plan tailored to their specific needs and conditions.

Our psychological services include counseling and therapy sessions to help veterans cope with the mental and emotional aspects of chronic pain. Addressing these components can reduce the perception of pain and improve quality of life.

Alternative Therapies
ALTERNATIVE THERAPIES

We connect veterans to a wide range of alternative therapies such as acupuncture, massage, and chiropractic care. These therapies can complement traditional medical treatments, reduce pain, and promote relaxation and healing without relying solely on medications.

Natural Therapy

Natural treatments have shown promise in managing pain and inflammation. Our natural therapy programs are designed to provide pain relief options tailored to individual needs led by our team of qualified doctors and pain specialists.

Physiotherapy
PHYSIOTHERAPY

Physiotherapy is essential for addressing the physical causes of pain. Our physiotherapists use targeted techniques and exercises to treat injuries, improve mobility, and alleviate pain. This hands-on approach is integral to our multi-pronged pain management strategy.
