Shakley Chiropractic & Wellness Center
Since I've been coming to you, I can walk better, even without my cane. The nasal spray I used to use, I only need once a week now. I also use an inhaler, and I have not used it once since I've started coming to your office. I do not limp as much as I did when I first started coming. I've noticed I am a lot calmer, I don't get upset as easily as I once did, and overall just not as stressed as I was.

I want to "thank you, " for all your help, I wish I knew you a year ago! I had problems with walking due to lower back pain and joint pain. This problem occurred 3 to 4 years that had been building up however had slowed down. Being at work was a difficult time for me as a teacher standing and walking.

In basic terms, the chiropractic adjustment refers to the process in which the doctor of chiropractic skillfully applies controlled force into one or more "subluxated" vertebrae of the spine. The adjustment is safe, natural, and non-invasive. The type of chiropractic adjustment performed will be determined by the needs of the patient.
Our body is linked together by muscles and joints, which are part of the body where two bones are fitted together. They are joined by tough ligaments, lined with cartilage, embraced by muscles, surrounded by a capsule and filled with synovial fluid for lubrication. Without them we wouldn't be able to get around very well!

You may bring your child to the Chiropractor starting whenever you want your child to have all the benefits of a conservative, drugless approach to health care.
Flexion-distraction involves the use of a specialized table that gently "distracts" or stretches the spine. This allows the chiropractor to isolate the affected area while slightly "flexing" the spine using a pumping rhythm. There is usually no pain associated with this treatment.

Instead, the flexion-distraction technique's gentle pumping to the painful area allows the center of the intervertebral disc (called the nucleus pulposus) to assume its central position in the disc and can assist in healing from a bulging or herniated disc condition.Flexion-distraction may also improve disc height.

Dr Shakley was referred by my massage therapist to address some concerns. He is one of the most thorough practitioners. After a few visits, I feel better already!

I am seventeen years old and have anxiety. Being a patient at Shakley has helped me feel as if I have gained some independence and I’m never nervous to visit by myself. The staff is kind and understanding. Quick, efficient, and my back pain is already feeling better.

Dr. Ryan is the best! He is compassionate and listens to his patients. It’s good to know that no matter what is hurting, he will listen and find the problem.

I’ve been treated by chiropractors since infancy and I’ve never achieved the state of balance we are working towards now. Dr. Shakley and team are ALL awesome! I feel relief from pain and, more balance/less chaos(dealing with pain 24/7 is annoying). I’m feeling more aligned in body/mind/spirit every day! Thank you ALL! ❤️💚

Dr. Ryan, Carol, and Lindsey are simply the best. I was absolutely skeptical about seeing a chiropractor--so much bad press out there. I was finally in so much pain that I would try anything to try and alleviate any amount of pain. Upon my first visit, Doc Ryan completed a thorough and comprehensive exam, including a complete set of x-rays. … When I returned, in terms that I could understand, he explained what what going on with my back and hips. After my first treatment there was instant relief--not pain free, but a relief that I hadn't felt in months. My husband got into the treatments

Dr. Ryan and his team are simply the very best in Annapolis! They’re very attentive, caring and focused on overall health and wellness. The new patient experience was thorough and comprehensive, and Dr. Ryan’s… expertise and personality are unmatched. Not only is the team here friendly and accommodating...you will leave feeling like you have made a few new friends. Highly recommend! And if you’ve never tried chiropractic...do it...it’s amazing!

One of the best chiropractors I've ever experienced, especially when adjusting my neck. Everyone in the office is so down to earth and so friendly, too.
