Discover Chiropractic & Wellness

I am a professor of pharmacy and involved in healthcare for over 30 years. I have been seeing Dr. Shepard for over a year. I was initially very skeptical of chiropractic science. However I have observed that he applies the science and art of chiropractic and wellness in an effective way that produces palpable results.
While he has the latest equipment and techniques, the thing I most admire about Dr. S is his devotion to the patient, not as a number but a human in need of help. He is focused on achieving optimal outcomes of his patients.
As a health care provider and researcher, I
have interacted with hundreds of physicians in my career.
I have never met a more dedicated and compassionate person as Dr. Shepard.
Finally, his staff also displays this caring and compassion attitude.
I can not recommend a clinic more strongly than his clinic .
I am very critical of the current health care environment. Thank God clinics like this exist so patients can received personalized care that we all deserve.

Dr. Shepard is very talented in his field. He knows the whole body system and how it works together. He strives to identify what is ailing you, as an individual. He practices open patient/​doctor communication, and partnership in working WITH you to identify a good course of action.
Me: Chronic pain in upper back, chest, neck, arms, head, led me into a depressed state and overall inability to move comfortably. Before Dr. Shepard, I saw another chiro for a year, with no improvement. Dr. Shepard’s office took x-​rays at my first visit so he could see what was going on inside (previous chiro did not do this). Long story shortened, I had a ‘complicated’ case that was not alleviated by simply going in for adjustments. In fact, I was rarely adjusted on my visits. Dr. Shepard and I worked together to identify what was causing my issue. It took about 9 months, and trying various techniques to find out how my body responded, but I had spiraled into my painful state over the course of 2 years, so was willing to put in the time to climb back out.
If it were not for Dr. Shepard’s tenacity in helping me, us talking a lot together about all aspects of my lifestyle that could be affecting my issue, his knowledge and experience in the body systems, and me ‘doing the homework’, I would still be in pain. I have been pain free now for several months, and back to exercising and living an active life. The most important thing is that with Dr. Shepard’s help, I know what my triggers are, and when I feel that little bit of pain itching to return, I KNOW how to keep it away.

I was always very hesitant about going to see a chiropractor after hearing so many horror stories from friends/​family, but after throwing out my back I decided I needed to do something. I have now been seeing Dr. Shepard for 3+ months and it has been one of the best things I have done for my health. Before I went to see him I could not stand up straight without having mid-​back pain. I am now completely pain free!
I will say for anyone considering going to a chiropractor understand its a long term commitment to overall better health. It is not a quick fix but with time and work can really change your life.

If I was Oprah rich, I would have Dr. Scott Shepard follow me around like a puppy dog. This kind of good help is incredibly difficult to find.
I have never, ever met a chiropractor who was as attentive and talented as Dr. Shepard. He’s not one of those chiropractors who tries to reel you in and keep you as his perpetual patient simply to make a buck from you. If he never saw you again because you were doing fantastic, he’d be thrilled! If he knows of something else that might help or if he even just has a few *potential* ideas, he’ll tell you — i.e. taking a vitamin complex to help migraines, switching from a stick shift vehicle to an automatic transmission for pain in the left leg, referring to an MD for pain meds and muscle relaxers, seeing a surgeon if you’re beyond his scope of repair, etc.
This man genuinely cares about his patients. He keeps very detailed notes on each patient’s progress — so much so that he could easily pinpoint what works and what doesn’t work. When he asks how you’re doing, a simple «Okay» won’t suffice. He wants to know how you’ve *really* been feeling. How have you been sleeping? What kind of pain are you in? How long does it last? Does it radiate? How are the headaches? How often do you get them? How does the pain feel exactly? Where do you feel it? What do you do to treat them? Are there any activities that cause an increase in pain? Do you wake up because of pain or wake up in pain? The list could go on and on.
Since he is a wellness doctor, he takes a very broad look at why you’re experiencing the pain you’re in, and he has a whole gammut of ways to treat his patients. He is very particular about the equipment he selects. From the Kinesiotape, to the Pettibon equipment, to the tables he uses, to the spinal rejuvenation tables — he knows them inside and out and he chooses everything with great scrutiny. He is a graduate of Palmer School of Chiropractic, and he has a large amount of techniques at his disposal. I now refuse to see any chiropractor who didn’t graduate from Palmer because of the vast array of techniques that Palmer teaches.
Not all chiropractors are created equal, but Scott is truly the best of the best — and believe me, I’ve seen a LOT of chiropractors (namely, 9 in the last ~2 years). He saved me on numerous occasions, and I only wish I lived closer so I could be his patient again.
All of his staff members were simply great as well. From reception, to billing, to chiropractic assistant, to the physical therapist — all of them were great! Jan, Christina, Jalynn, Sarah, Stephanie, and his wife, Elisa, were always a pleasure to work with.
I would recommend this office 10 million times over. You would have to be crazy (or in my case — in a completely different region) not to go see Dr. Shepard if you need a chiropractor.
