Shannon Connor, DC – Chiropractor In Newportbeach

I have been seeing Dr. Shannon on and off for years through chronic back pain, a car accident, two pregnancies, and I’m happy to say that some of my friends are seeing her now too! I will always be grateful for her work!

Dr. Connor is amazing! I haven’t felt this good in years! I would definitely recommend Dr. Connor to anyone and everyone.

I’ve had chronic neck pain for a very long time. Dr. Connor was able to treat me and resolve that completely! I\‘ve also had Shannon treat my son and was amazed at how quickly she was able to get him straightened up. Dr. Connor is excellent with her patients, truly cares for them, and I would highly recommend her.

Shannon Connor has a specialty shared by very few chiropractors in the US: she is trained in upper cervical care (NUCCA), a very gentle technique that is the opposite of the «crick and crank» DCs that are omnipresent today. The premise is that if your uppermost disc – the atlas – is unbalanced/​off-​kilter, then the rest of your body will show it. One shoulder will be lower, one leg will be shorter; headaches can be another sign. I get knee pain when I am out.
A gentle manipulation, like clicking, on your neck comprises the adjustment. It’s not traumatic. I immediately feel the difference.
I have been going to this type of DC since I was twelve. Every time I move I find my next one and always have to drive a bit– whether in MI, MA, IL or CA, but it’s totally worth it.
Depending, of course, on how you manifest being out of balance, traditional MDs can end up declaring, for instance, that you have a short leg and need a «lift» in your shoe. I was actually tested for neuropathy in my legs. As I lay in the hospital with electricity running down my legs, I thought, «I just need a NUCCA chiropractor again.»
Shannon Connor is a gem with a holistic approach and gentle vibe. I highly recommend her, especially if you’ve been to tons of MDs for your concern and remain dissatisfied. It’s all about health and wellness… take care of yourself!
