I thought I would never walk normally again, I was in so much pain. He worked diligently with me and in three months, the pain was gone and I felt that recovery was possible. He is truly an amazing doctor. I highly recommend him.

I had never been to a Chiropractor till my accident forced me to and I regret not going sooner. Dr Shortell has relieved a lot of my pain and discomfort with his treatments.I recommend at least trying a visit and meeting him.

Dr. Shortell and his staff are an amazing group of people! I was introduced to Dr. Shortell about 5 years ago where he aligned my neck and back after developing scoliosis as a teenager. I have been visiting him regularly since then and my neck and back have never been better. His 6 month re-exams are perfect for letting me see just how much he has stabilized my back. Recording my ranges of motions over time and comparing them to previous visits lets me know that I am well balanced. Dr Shortell's staff is incredibly friendly and I feel very welcomed every time I visit. I have recommended Dr. Shortell to my friends in the past and they all say the same great things. I am very happy to have him as my chiropractor.

I've had scoliosis my entire life and enough was enough! Dr. Shortell took care of my longstanding back pain and I've continued to see him for everything. He cleared up my sciatica, has seen me through a traumatizing car accident, and helped when my arches collapsed. Amazing doctor, wonderful bedside manners, and great staff!

I have scoliosis and have had back issues for years. Dr. Shortell was recommended to me by my husbands best friend and what a GREAT recommendation it was! During the initial consultation I was informed by Dr. Shortell that I had mild scoliosis but I also had spinal stenosis in my neck and degenerative disc disease in my neck...all of which I was unaware of. Before I started my treatment I was having issues getting out of bed in the morning, carrying around my toddler and trouble getting up from a seated position. It was also very hard to work out which I love to do. Since I have been going to treatments I feel SO much better. I have no issues working out and barely any issues with my lower back now. If I go in on a day where I am having some neck or back issues, he does the proper adjustments and I feel extremely better afterward. Dr. Shortell is very personable and you can tell he is very concerned with your individual issues and what he can do to make you feel better. His staff is also very friendly and personable. The hours are VERY convenient for individuals who work full time and need to come after "normal" business hours. I highly recommend Dr. Shortell to anyone who has back issues...my pain has gone away substantially and I cannot thank him enough!

I'm not very good at writing things like reviews, but I'll give it a shot. I came to Dr. Shortell on an emergency basis after waking up in excruciating pain. He's been treating me for a little over a month now. There's been a tremendous improvement since my first visit to him, & it keeps getting better. I'm standing & walking with no pain & the pain I was experiencing while sitting is just a twinge now. I'm very happy with my choice of chiropractors & highly recommend him to anyone who needs one.

Dr. Shortell treats the not just the problem area but will get to the root of the cause. He treats the whole body to maintain a sense of wellness while keeping the body pain free. The office staff are pleasant and Dr. Shortell will answer any questions that arise. He is kind and knowledgable and I would recommend his practice to anyone experiencing pain or discomfort.

I first visited Dr. Shortell for back and neck pain after relying on OTC pain medications fairly regularly. I was skeptical of chiropractic care at first, purely out of my own ignorance, but I knew I needed a better approach. Before treating me, he did a full x-ray of my spine, explained what he thought was wrong, why, and how to fix it. This approach put me at ease with welcoming chiropractic care. He put me on a course of treatment that addressed the underlying causes of my pain, primarily spine alignment. Although the results were slow to come at first, once they did they were permanent and best of all drug free. His care treated my root causes and also taught me better ways to care for my own back. Because of this the pain that was so common to me has become very rare. I can and do recommend Dr. Shortell to anyone looking for a chiropractic Dr. You will be in good hands.

It has never been an option for me to visit a Chiropractor until I suffered with severe lower back pain for 8 months. I found myself being treated by a surgeon, orthopedic, primary care provider and having physical therapy. Nothing seemed to eliminate the pain.

As a last resort, I decided to visit a chiropractor. After doing my research I chose Dr. Robert Shortell. BEST DECISION ever!

He evaluated my situation and developed a plan of care and within several treatments I felt better. “Amazing”
He not only relieves the pain but works with you to show you how to maintain a healthy you.
Don’t put yourself in a situation where you must choose between trying chiropractor or using other alternatives for your care such as strong prescription medications with their many side effects or surgery, which should be a last resort. Call Dr. Shortell, you will definitely feel a difference!
