A holistic and unconventional approach to chiropractic care. I had been seeing chiropractors of all sorts for over ten years before finding Dr. Shannon who empowered me to learn exercises and stretches to continue on my journey to recovery. Truly unique and personalized care

I have loved working with Shannon. I started seeing her a month before I gave birth and I wish I had started earlier in my pregnancy. We worked on balance and core strength and just making sure I was as aligned as possible for the big day. When I was a week past my due date Shannon did a house call, which was greatly appreciated in my physical state, and literally an hour after her session ended I went into labor. I credit my work with her for the quick and easy delivery I had. Your body is constantly shifting while pregnant and you don’t realize how little movements and stretches can make the

I came to Dr. Shannon with chronic back pain and she definitely helped me get back to doing what I want to do. At the time I went to her, I was afraid to do a squat. Now, I am playing basketball and working out as I used to. Dr Shannon taught me how to improve my core strength and use my entire body, rather than just focusing on only my back. I can confidently say that my back and core are in much better shape because of her. If you want to get better, I highly recommend going to Dr. Shannon and believing that her mentality will help you get better.

I went in to see Shannon after starting to experience fairly severe pain in my arm, neck and back while working at my desk everyday. Before seeing Shannon, I’d gone to see a chiropractor and nothing seemed to be helping. I was intrigued by Shannon’s different, holistic approach compared to the treatment I’d been receiving. Suffice to say, I couldn’t be happier that I put my faith in Shannon - after only a few weeks I was seeing very noticeable results, and a couple months later I was virtually pain free and haven’t looked back. Fantastic doctor - would highly recommend!

Dr. Shannon has shown me how to rebalance my body through specific movements targeted specifically for me. It has helped me stop my reliance on a traditional chiropractor for the last 20 years! She is patient and listens to you and answers all your questions.

I've had lots of experience with chiropractors but Dr. Shannon has really helped me learn so much more about my body and how it functions! I had reoccurring wrist pain going into sessions and she helped me learn how to strengthen/engage muscles I wasn't using in order to prevent the pain in the first place. It felt very exciting to have the pain go away so quickly and understand that I was the one who made it happen!

I found Dr. Shannon during my pregnancy. I was looking for some help with lower back pain. I’m a hair colorist and it’s especially important that I feel good while at work. She turned it around! While working with Dr. Shannon I was able to comfortably work until my due date. I felt strong and ready for labor which was relatively straightforward. I’ve continued working with Dr. Shannon postpartum and continue to feel strong. I like the combination of adjustment and physical therapy that I get with Dr. Shannon and I have learned a lot about my body
I would recommend Dr. Shannon to anyone who

Dr. Shannon is by far one of the best healthcare providers I've ever worked with. She really take the time to listen and take your concerns/issues seriously to provide the most personalized care. Even after a few sessions of working with her, I noticed positive changes that allowed me to start running again after dealing with lots of knee pain. Her movement-based approach to health has changed my own perspective on how I care for my body. Would strongly recommend her to anyone looking to address any sort of pain that hinders them from living a full, active life!

Me and my husband had gotten into a motorcycle accident and had been going to another physical therapist in the financial district for 9 months with absolutely no difference. I don’t view Dr. Shannon’s methods as truly “physical therapy” as she incorporates SO MUCH MORE than just exercises and heat pads. At the free consultation, she stressed that it wouldn’t be the traditional treatment methods that had failed before and she took the time to explain those differences snd how she could help alleviate my pains. She was right! Because after our first session I immediately felt more balanced

I just completed Dr. Shannon's Be Resilient program and was impressed to have actually seen and felt results throughout! My posture, range of motion, and ability to use my breath has improved through the use of attainable exercises that progressed at a good pace. I've seen many chiropractors and physical therapists over the years. None of them had provided me with a program that worked this well and that I feel I can easily work bits and pieces into my regular life to at least maintain if not continue to improve on the benefits I got from it.

Dr Connolly is amazing! I've learned so much about my body from each session. She does not depend on adjustments to align your body and instead provides you with exercises, knowledge, and tools to provide long term benefits. Highly recommend :)

After years of traditional chiropractic treatment, I am really excited by the less invasive technique of neurokinetic therapy. I experienced immediate results that have lasted longer than traditional adjustments. Shannon is also lovely, exceedingly skilled and very professional.

Shannon was great with assessing my issues and taking the time to make sure she was doing everything she could to help me. Seeing her has helped me and improved some of the aches and pain I was complaining about. She even gave me great suggestions for warming up in order to prevent the pain before working out.

Dr. Shannon Connelly has restored my faith in chiropractic treatment. I've been dealing with some serious pain, and only after two sessions, I can honestly say I was blown away by her techniques. Dr. Shannon is the real deal.

Dr. Shannon is an absolute lifesaver! I had pain in my elbow for months and over the period of a few sessions, she was able to isolate the issue, gave me tons of insight into how to avoid re-injury, and now I'm back to total mobility. I can't recommend her highly enough. Dr. Shannon really takes the time to understand not only the injury you might… be feeling but making sure that you're able to perform your physical best. If you are at all an active person, have any history of injury, and want to make sure you remain active over time, she should be your first call.

Shannon has been so crucial in my recovery with Plantar Fasciitis! I would recommend for any injury. She is so knowledgeable and was patient with all of my questions. She explained the goals of every treatment… which included soft tissue manipulation, cupping, stimulation therapy, and of course chiropractic adjustment. I had been suffering from plantar fasciitis for 3 months before seeing Shannon, and it's almost completely healed after only 3 treatments! Shannon also fitted me for orthotics. I cannot recommend her enough!
