About Doc P – Dr. Sonja Pettersen, N.M.D.

Known to many professional athletes simply as "Doc P," Dr. Sonja Pettersen has spent more than 25 years helping athletes recover from sports injuries, improve performance, and return to competition through advanced, drug-free treatment programs. Her passion for health, healing, and human performance has made her a trusted resource for professional athletes, collegiate competitors, and active individuals seeking alternatives to surgery and pharmaceuticals.

Born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Dr. Pettersen was raised with the principles and philosophy of natural medicine. Her early interest in human performance led her to become a personal trainer and fitness instructor, ultimately inspiring a career dedicated to helping people optimize their health, recover from injuries, and achieve peak performance.

Dr. Pettersen doesn't just understand elite athletic performance — she's built her entire career around it.

Her foundation runs deep. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology alongside advanced academic training, and spent her formative years inside human physiology and human performance laboratories conducting research under extreme environmental conditions — heat, cold, and hyperbaric pressure — with a direct focus on athletic performance, sports injury rehabilitation, and how the body adapts and recovers under maximum stress. That early, rigorous exposure to the science of the human body under pressure is what drives her clinical approach today.

With decades of experience in regenerative and performance medicine, Dr. Pettersen — known to her athletes as Doc P — has become a trusted specialist for professionals competing at the highest levels. She has worked with athletes across the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, MLS, PGA, MMA, and collegiate sports, traveling to the Super Bowl with her athletes and working alongside Pro Bowl selections and Hall of Famers throughout her career.

Her treatment toolkit is built specifically for what elite athletes need: faster recovery, restored function, and the ability to stay on the field longer. She specializes in Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM), ozone therapy, biological allograft therapy, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, IV nutritional therapy, and comprehensive regenerative medicine protocols. She has trained healthcare practitioners in FSM for decades, and her depth of knowledge in these modalities is recognized across the sports medicine and integrative health communities.

Whether the issue is a knee, shoulder, ligament, tendon, muscle, concussion, or chronic inflammation that just won't resolve — Doc P builds individualized treatment plans designed to get athletes back to competing at full capacity, as quickly as possible.

When being out means everything, Doc P gets you back in.
