We believe in treating people— not numbers.

Which is why we recently made the difficult decision to stop accepting new patients at this time. We never want to prioritize high volume over high quality— which is the only level of care we provide our patients. But don’t worry! While Dr. Shieldsmith is busy caring for current and existing patients, we look forward to welcoming new faces in the near future.

Get ready to live life well-adjusted.

  • What patients are saying.

    “When I began my health journey with Dr. Chelsea, I was recovering from a difficult hysterectomy, Epstein-Barr virus, pelvic floor dysfunction, and fibromyalgia. I was overweight, mentally defeated, and unable to do everyday activities. My life was controlled by my pain and my inability to move. Dr. Chelsea took the time to learn about my pain, hear my concerns and goals, and together we set a plan to get my life back. During our time together, my body began to heal and recover. She provided excellent care and challenged me to continue my prescribed therapy and stretches at home to aid in the work she was doing. Together we worked hard— and some days it wasn’t easy— but we pushed forward to hit our goals for recovery. I was able to return to work full-time three years ago. I have Dr. Chelsea to thank for that. She gave me my life, career, relationships, and mobility back. I will be forever grateful for her.”

  • What patients are saying.

    “I sought chiropractic care with Dr. Chelsea after losing my beloved provider of ten years to a sudden passing. What I found in her was someone who listened, reflected, and clarified that she understood my issues— and approached my situation with care and concern. Not only did she support the approach to care I was most comfortable with, but she introduced new successful approaches to care and also recommended other helpful solutions outside of her own practice. I quickly developed trust in her— knowing that her focus wasn’t on building a business as much as it was on truly caring for her patients.”

  • What patients are saying.

    “As a former manager of a large chiropractic practice, I have years of experience answering requests of friends and family looking for a good chiropractor. I have known many good, and some excellent, health care providers. Dr. Chelsea Shieldsmith is an exemplary practitioner. She has cared for me and my young adult children— one with special medical needs— tailoring the treatment to meet each of our specific individual health goals. Dr. Shieldsmith’s knowledge of body processes, health, and nutrition— plus her easy warm manner— are the best possible combination of traits and skills one desires in a health care provider. Dr. Shieldsmith has truly helped our family on our path to optimal health.”

  • What patients are saying.

    “Dr. Shieldsmith always takes the time to ensure that all of my family’s health and chiropractic needs are considered. She goes above and beyond for each and every one of her patients. I cannot recommend strongly enough how amazing she is as a medical provider and a truly caring person. My family and I are lucky to have found her to help us all with our individual needs. For us— it is chronic conditions, migraines, and student athlete needs. Thank you Dr. Chelsea for taking such amazing care of all of us!!!”

    -Katherine

  • What patients are saying.

    “Dr. Shieldsmith is AMAZING! My daughter tends to need a lot of warm up time to get comfortable with others and Dr. Shieldsmith is so patient with her as she gives space for that and interacts with her. She was able to recognize an issue with my daughter almost immediately that hasn't been addressed before. After further evaluation we are able to treat this issue and prevent future issues from taking place.

    Dr. Shieldsmith has also been so helpful for me to work with in my pregnancy. She made time for me to ask about my previous pregnancies and postpartum period and is working with me now to have the best postpartum experience. Anytime I talk about what she's gone over with me with others they are always so surprised my chiropractor asked about these things. I cannot recommend her enough.”

    “Dr. Shieldsmith is amazing! I have had chronic pain from neck and back issues for 7 years and have seen every kind of doctor for them. She is the first doctor I've felt that really took the time to perform a full and complete evaluation. She really cares about addressing every issue that affects my body's health, not just the specific one I mentioned. I am very impressed with her care and so happy I decided to book with her.”

  • What patients are saying.

    “Dr. Shieldsmith has been my chiropractor since I suffered a lower back ailment several years ago. Her standard of care is fantastic, and she prioritizes her patients’ health from a holistic perspective. She genuinely cares about each of her patients and works with us to develop a care plan based on our unique needs. She is transparent about every treatment and explains in detail what to expect in advance. I recommend her to everyone I know, whether they have a specific ailment or could benefit from ongoing chiropractic maintenance (that’s everyone 😉). If you’re in the market for a high-quality chiropractor, look no further — Dr. Chelsea is fabulous!”

    -Jerrica

  • What patients are saying.

    “Let me be straight up for a second: Dr. Chelsea's compassion and sensitivity would make even a hardened banker weep openly (I'm a hardened journalist, and I almost cried during a session when she touched on discouragement). She listens like a counselor, researches like a scientist, and diplomatically suggests healing solutions as creative as the artist that she is. She's scary smart, and is a Brene Brown-style encourager. She addresses everyday life so well that I feel sure she will soon change her practice name to Shieldsmith Chiropractical. (And no, her mother did not ask me to write this!).”

    “I would like to thank Dr. Shieldsmith for the most excellent care. I believe she goes above and beyond for all her patients. No detail is too small or too insignificant. She is not there to see how many patients she can get through her office. I believe she truly cares about each and every one of us. She takes the time to listen!!!”

    “I cannot say enough about how glad I am that Dr. Shieldsmith is practicing again! She always does a great job of listening to me, then explaining the care she is providing, and the steps to take for following up with at home care. She doesn’t only treat the symptoms but helps you find the cause of the issue. I will recommend her to anyone who asks!”
