Services
People often seek Chiropractic care for relief from injury, stress, or chronic pain. Chiropractic treats the underlying causes of these problems, rather than simply treating and temporarily relieving the symptoms. The objective of the Chiropractic adjustment is to reduce the subluxation, which results in an increased range of motion, decreased nerve irritability, reduced muscle spasm, decreased pain and improved function.
There are many causes for neck pain. Injuries, such as car accidents for falls the obvious examples. However, most people with neck pain can't identify a specific injury. Just like it was not the last mile that you drove that caused your car to need repair, the accumulation of stresses from many sources can result in chronic, sometimes debilitating, neck pain.
Walking upright on two feet has advantages, but it also puts intense pressure on the spine, as well as on other muscles and bones. Add to this improper sitting, lifting, or reaching-and the normal wear and tear of working and playing-and you have the perfect recipe for back pain. That's why back pain is the 2nd most common reason for visits to the doctor's office, outnumbered only by upper-respiratory infections.
The real shame about arthritis is the terrible loss in quality of life as a result of arthritis pain (inability to hold our grandchildren, to dance with our favorite partner, to enjoy attending a sporting event, and a hundred other "minor disabilities") is accepted by the victim as a" natural consequence of aging".

New patient here. I just moved to the area and I am so happy I happened upon this wonderful woman! I have only had one visit with her so far, but I feel much lighter and more loose after her adjustment. She truly listens to you and adresses your problem areas. She gives tons of information/education as well, which I really appreciated. Thanks! Will definitely be coming back monthly for wellness!

In response to the review by Gary Norton: I am the office manager at Shields Chiropractic Center, and Dr. Shields and I have completely reviewed all patient records and this person has never been treated at this office. This review is a fraud and defamatory in nature. Dr. Shields would never knowingly put any of her patients at risk and we have had no incidents here at our office.
