I started seeing Dr. Shah when I was 8 months pregnant. She weekly got me ready for labor & delivery. I truly credit my smooth delivery to her! My body was READY! She now is supporting my postpartum recovery and started adjusting my son at 8 weeks. He had minor torticollis and with weekly adjustments, it's resolved. He is strong and hitting his developmental milestones early. Shoutout to Lori as well. Lori is a warm friendly face to greet you and is a delight to schedule with! Dr Shah takes insurance for those looking for someone in network. I can't recommend her enough!

After 15 years of dealing with chronic pain and sciatica Dr. Shah was able to help relieve the intense aching feeling. She is a blessing in my life. She used a low force activator method. Initially, I was skeptical and didn't think that going to a chiropractor was going to help. I had tried everything. Acupuncture, other chiropractors, physical therapist and so on. Nothing was helping. Dr. Shah explained that with the low force method the body tends to hold the adjustments better.
I slowly eased into my treatment and I am so thankful I did. For me, I am able to feel relief after my treatments and my body responds well. My overall health improved- less sinus infections, better digestion and most importantly less pain. This is not the usual cracking which is scary. You lay on a table peacefully while she uses the activatormethod instrument You will not regret going to see Dr. Shah. She has changed and improved my life and I am eternally grateful for her Kindess and healing attitude. My overall health improved,

Dr. Shah and her team are fantastic! I started seeing her when I was pregnant and needed help with the back and leg pain, swelling, headaches and acid reflux I was suffering with. Not only did she help me with all of those, but my birth was natural and drug free mostly because my hips and pelvis were properly aligned! A week after my son was born, Dr. Shah also adjusted him, which helped with the pain of breastfeeding.
Since then, my whole family and several friends have seen her for a variety of reasons. We have had nutritional counseling and vitamin supplementation appointments and each time Dr. Shah and her team have been kind, welcoming and warm. We HIGHLY reccomend her practice!

I've been seeing Dr. Shah for close to a year to treat my lower back issues and I have been extremely pleased with my treatment. My everyday life was hampered by constant stiffness and pain, and I have seen such a marked improvement in my back. She is highly knowledgeable, attentive, and professional. I continue to see her just for continued maintenance since I train in martial arts and I need to make sure I keep myself aligned. I would highly recommend her services for anybody who is in need of a chiropractor!
