Shepard Pain and Performance Care

Dr. Shepard treated my rotator cuff tendonitis in just about 2 months with his ART. I was not even able to raise my arm in certain angle, felt tightness every morning and dull pain during bedtime. In the beginning, his treatments were giving me a ‘good pain’ but I had no problem because I know he was working on the source of the problems. The visits gradually became more regular treatments and the pain was barely there until it was finally gone. He was very friendly, informative and definitely good at his treatments. I was disappointed that I thought I would never be able to do the type of exercises I did before the injury, but after 2 months seeing Dr. Shepard, he gave me a ‘go’ and I was able to do the same exercise again. I was able to raise my arm easily. Definitely recommend him.

I heard an advertisement on the radio for Dr. Shepard about hip pain and so I thought I would give it a chance. I am only in my thirties and I was having really bad hip pains so I went in, and I’ll admit the treatment did not feel good (kind of similar to a deep tissue massage kind of pain) but the results were awesome. I don’t have to go back regularly or take drugs. I went a few times and haven’t had any problems since. I am a firm believer in alternatives to drugs and surgeries and Dr. Shepard proves that there are.

First review for Shepard Pain and Performance care!
To start, I began seeing Dr. Shepard not for traditional chiropractic adjustments, but because he is the only person in the area who practices ART (active release technique), to my knowledge.
The office is small and orderly, and an emphasis is definitely placed on a strong relationship with patients.
Not having been for ART before, and not knowing much about my issue, the doc spent the first visit (which was free) trying to pinpoint my problems. Some ART was done and I was sent on my way.
Subsequent visits resulted in the doc really nailing down the source of my problems. He helped alleviate my pain via the ART and also helped to address some biomechanical tendencies of mine that often result in further aggravation.
Dr. Shepard is receptive to the unique demands of my sport and his knowledge of biomechanics was far superior to what I expected from a chiropractor.
If you have pain –especially if you’re an athlete– go see Dr. Shepard.
