I was blessed to meet Dr Shelley Adams ten years ago in Vancouver, BC. She spoke at a lululemon event and I was lucky enough to chat with her briefly. I was in my early twenties and had just started experiencing mild pain in my lower back. Her friendly and professional demeanor helped me to get over my fear of chiropractic treatment. She had me sorted quickly and sent me on my way. I am so grateful I met her when I did because a few years later I suffered great pain from a car accident and she was the best possible chiropractor for the job. Dr Shelley is so much more than a chiropractor. She is a teacher, educating her patients so they understand both the pain they’re experiencing and the method behind her treatment. She even provides homework like a teacher, sending people away with exercises and stretches, empowering them to care for themselves. She emphasizes personal responsibility as a necessary component for long-term health and she equips her patients with the tools to succeed. She is an effective communicator, and empathetic listener and a very thorough practitioner. It is no surprise that she ranked #1 in the city of Vancouver for a few years in a row. I have personally referred at least a dozen Vancouverites into her office. We were all sad to see her go when she left for Ontario. If you’re experiencing any kind of pain: chronic pain, athletic injury, occupational discomfort, or serious trauma from an accident, you can rest knowing that Shelley will have you strong and on your feet in due time. Her excellence has made it impossible for me to find another chiropractor who measures up. If that’s her only major flaw, I’d say she’s doing her job right.
