I assess physical issues through a series of orthopedic and musculoskeletal examinations. When necessary, onsite digital x-ray is used to assess for the alignment, degeneration and general health of the spine. I use this information to guide you in reducing your pain as well as restoring your posture, strength, balance and flexibility.

I assess the mental aspect of your problem through specific neurological testing and computer-assisted Biofeedback (when needed) which gives information regarding the present health of your nervous system. This will help improve your numbness/tingling, balance, improved focus as well as reduce the symptoms of anxiety/depression/trouble sleeping caused by brain dysregulation.

I want to thank you for visiting my website and for your interest in chiropractic care. I am originally from East Northport, New York and am the youngest of three boys. My grandfather was a firefighter in New York City and my father was a police officer in New York City. I wanted to follow in their footsteps by choosing a profession that helps people, but I was not sure which one.
Dr. Shortell has been our family chiropractor for over 10 years and my family are all extremely satisfied. He is very professional in the way he analyzes spinal misalignments using x-rays, range of motion tests, and physical examinations. I have been in accidents where my neck and back were affected.
If you live in Cromwell, CT and you've been injured in an auto collision, Cromwell Chiropractic Center is here to help. We've worked with many patients who have been injured in a car crash and we can probably help you, too. During a crash, your body is exposed to violent forces that can injure the delicate anatomical structures of your body.
We effectively help many auto collision patients in our Cromwell, CT office, and Cromwell Chiropractic Center has years of experience working with this type of injury. During a crash, your body is subjected to great forces that it simply wasn't built to handle. These forces place strain and stresses on your neck, shoulder, and back and can actually cause injury to the ligaments that hold your spine together.
In the car crash patients we see in our Cromwell, CT chiropractic office, the most common symptom reported is neck pain. During a crash, the head is often whipped around violently and that can easily injure the cervical spine. However, Cromwell Chiropractic Center works with many auto injury patients, and has years of experience diagnosing and treating these cases.

Dr. Robert Shortell is an AMAZING Chiropractor. He has worked on my neck and knee for years. Dr. Shortell is very professional, always strives for the best care for his patients, and has an extremely courteous staff. Very convenient hours for those who work, easy access right on/off the highway in Cromwell, and is super easy to get an appointment with. Dr. Shortell also is AMAZING with children. My daughter was limping for a few months, I mentioned it to Dr. Shortell, and he had her in the next day for a foot scan. Discovered her issues, put her in a shoe insert and she is walking again normally

Dr. Shortell was able to correct all of my many back and neck positional issues. The staff is always warm and welcoming and the experience is top notch. Dr. Shortell is actually trying to make you better not just pop you and schedule you for the next appointment like I remember my mom's chiropractor, oh so many years ago.
