Shepherd Family Chiropractic

I’ve received chiropractic care for the past 10 years and Shepherd Family Chiro is by far the best treatment I’ve ever received. They use the activator method which pinpoints exactly where the trouble areas of my back are… I’ve felt stronger and in better hands since I started coming to their practice a year ago. Dr. Shepherd and his wife Cheryl are both so incredibly wonderful, kind and talented. I refer everybody I know to them!

I keep active via running, weight training, beach volleyball, and indoor volleyball. Dr Shepherd has been a great help in eliminating chronic back pain. Nice guy, great staff, I couldn’t be happier with the results.

I’m a professional ballet dancer and needles to say I put my body through a lot! I’ve also see many healthcare professionals over the years for various ailments including my most recent, a stubborn hip injury. Shepherd chiropractic has helped alleviate this pain and I can’t express just how grateful I am for this. By far the best chiropractor I’ve ever seen. Possibly the best in the U.S. It’s a gentle method and highly effective. Wonderful people to visit as well!

Shepherd Family Chiropractic is a great whole health chiropractor run by Ed and Cheryl with the help of their daughter Lindsey. From the moment you enter you feel at ease with the family. Dr. Shepherd takes an honest but non-​intrusive approach to your care letting you determine how often to come in but with his expert guidance.
When I first starting seeing Ed it was because my back kept going out on me leaving me in excruciating pain. Due to the long term chronic nature of my back pain it took many months of weekly appointments, but eventually Ed was able to get my back realigned to where I have not had an issue in over a year. Thank you Ed.
I can’t recommend Ed and his family enough. They are great people and will take amazing care of you.

Wow! I have had a truly wonderful experience with Dr. Shepherd and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for sincere and quality chiropractic care.
He takes the time to really explain his philosophy about health and wellness and lets you know up front what to expect as far as cost and time for treatments. He is thorough and caring, and the results have been phenomenal! In fact, my whole family has now gone to see him with equally great results. In particular, I love his method for reassessing you to determine how the treatments are progressing, introducing exercises to support his adjustments when appropriate. (This evaluation includes visual depictions showing exactly where there is tension, weakness and imbalance of your muscles and nervous system — great for visual learners!!!)
I also love the family-​friendly environment in the office. When I come in with my baby, Cheryl and Lindsey are always ready with a big smile to hold her while I get my adjustment. :)

Dr. Shepherd makes you feel immediately at ease and confident in his expertise and skills. I appreciated the lengths he went to in order to explain the benefits of chiropractic care, and specifically the positives of the activator method which he specializes in. Over the last year, that I have been seeing Dr. Shepherd, I have seen marked health improvements, and my chronic hip pain has completely stopped.
I also appreciate that Shepherd Family Chiropractic is not merely a clever name, but that this truly is a family business. Dr. Shepherd’s wife and daughter both work with him, and truly make you feel at home when you come to your appointments. I always aim to support these small family businesses, and am truly impressed with the quality of care they provide!

Dr. Ed Shepherd and his team (wife Cheryl in front office, and daughter Lindsey in back office) provide excellent chiropractic care. They are knowledgeable and professional, and at the same time compassionate and personable. Each visit is like seeing family.
I sought out Shepherd Family Chiropractic after failing to find a Seattle chiropractor I felt comfortable with, and growing tired of driving to my old chiropractor in Tacoma. Like many people, I find it difficult to relax with traditional «bone crunching» chiropractic adjustments … especially my neck! I was impressed with Dr. Shepherd by one his presentations about the Activator Method of chiropractic adjustment, a method that utilizes a device that gently nudges my vertebrae back into alignment. Incidentally, Dr. Shepherd teaches the Activator Method to Bastyr University students.
The benefits to me of Dr. Shepherd’s treatments are I no longer have the clicking in my neck and low back, and the aching between my shoulder blades is gone. I also have huge improvements in my right hip, which had been out of kilter with my pelvis, and causing pinching sensations. Had I ignored the hip symptoms, it would have been a matter of time before I would have had arthritis in that joint.
As an occupational therapist, I understand the importance of chiropractic care to achieve and maintain my optimal physical health. The day-​to-​day stresses on my body take their toll on my posture and alignment, so I commit to regular chiropractic adjustments to put my spine back into alignment. It is part of my health regimen, that I view as being as important to my well being as regular dental care and women’s health care visits.
It is with enthusiasm that I recommend Shepherd Family Chiropractic for your chiropractic care.

Shepherd Family Chiropractic is hands down the best chiropractic care in all of Seattle!
I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Shepherd, his wife Cheryl, and his daughter Lindsey. I have seen huge improvements in my own health since starting one month ago, and I know I’m in good hands with their team. It’s a comfortable environment, the adjustments are affordable, and Dr. Shepherd uses only the very best equipment and techniques. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for thorough and effective care.

I have had my share of Chiropractors over my life. I have to say that Dr Shephard and staff have the nicest office and the best practice I have ever been too. Thank you for your pain free approach it has made a huge difference in my life.

I have been to a few different chiropractors but fell out of the practice when I moved to Seattle. I forgot what an impact regular care can have on my quality of life! For over a year, I had been dealing with chronic tailbone pain that prevented me from sitting for more than 20 minutes, I also have chronic jaw issues that cause my jaw to lock and pop which is quite painful.
Working with Dr. Shepherd had an immediate impact on these and other issues that I had just been trying to ignore. I now don’t even think about my tailbone, it rarely causes a problem and when it does, I know Dr. Shepherd can put me back in alignment. I have also been very impressed by the Activator technique which allows him to adjust delicate areas like my jaw, as well as more robust areas of my spine with ease. With previous chiropractors I have worked with, who used manual adjustment techniques, I have often been worried the contortions we were doing might cause more harm than good.
If you are looking for a solid chiropractor, who will listen to your concerns and competently address them, Shepherd Family Chiropractic is the place to go.

Dr. Shepherd is the best Chiropractor I have ever used. He, his wife Cheryl, and daughter Lindsey are kind, attentive, and always welcome me with a smile. I have been to two other Chiropractors, each with their own technique, and Dr. Ed Shepherd’s technique has worked the best. It is gentle and yet is the most effective. The adjustments take around 10 minutes, so you are in and out really quickly!
Dr. Shepherd clearly knows what he is doing. He is able to find problem areas which I didn’t even realize were there or that had been bothering me but forgot to mention. Beyond realigning my spine, he has been able to help me with extra things. I have recently started running and was getting shin splints, I told him of this problem and he fixed it right up and I haven’t had them since! One of my hips was also starting to hurt from all the running and he was able to adjust it as well. Another aspect he can help with is colds, he is able to do a couple of gentle adjustments along your sinuses to open them up and clear your head.
Shepherd Family Chiropractic should be everyone’s number one chiropractor in the Queen Anne and Fremont areas, if not all of Seattle. I highly recommend Dr. Ed and Cheryl to everyone.

Dr. Shepherd is an excellent chiropractor. His wife Cheryl and daughter Lindsey who are an integral part of the practice couldn’t be nicer. The technique Dr. E. uses is gentle and very effective.
