Incredibly professional, detailed history, comprehensive neurological & orthopedic exam, X-rays. Specific manipulation eliciting transformational musculoskeletal & body system change.

I had some neck and back pain and tension. After 1 month of consistent alignments, I am back to normal with no pain or discomfort at all. Will be back in the future for more realignments. Great staff, so kind and accommodating.
I cannot thank Dr. Shippy of Sensoria Chiropractic enough for the exceptional, kind, compassionate and professional care he has given to my seventeen year old Yorkie Cuthbert. Cuthbert was having difficulty walking because his back was arched causing his hind legs to be compromised. After just two visits and expert treatment from Dr. Shippy he is moving freely again and walking like a five year old. Thank you so much for giving my Cuthbert his health and movement back Dr. Shippy. I highly recommend Dr. Shippy for any problems your pet may have. He is the best!
Dr Shippy was fantastic with Gidget! And so professional… I think it totally helped her feel better. Being a 12 year old Lab isn’t easy and Dr Shippy identified issues we didn’t think of, it was a very productive visit.
Dr. Shippy is the absolute best! He’s been Milo’s (my Frenchie’s) chiropractor for the past two years, and Milo ABSOLUTELY loves him! He is so patient and gentle with Milo, especially because he can be a little wild. Dr. Shippy always works around his craziness to make sure he gets his back adjusted, and of course, there’s playtime afterwards! 🐾❤️
I started seeing Dr. Shippy myself back in February, and going every other week has made such a difference. I honestly wish I had started sooner! He’s incredibly knowledgeable, caring, and takes the time to really listen. I highly recommend Dr. Shippy, he’s amazing with both people and pets! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had found no relief with my POTS symptoms, despite trying multiple doctors and various approaches for several years. After just 4-5 treatments from Dr. Shippy, I already felt such an improvement in my POTS symptoms. I am able to do more things now than I was before this treatment!
I took my daughter to Dr. Shippy for severe neck pain. He was very professional and did a thorough exam including xrays. He was very proficient with spinal adjustments. He also didn't hard sell a cookie cutter care plan as many chiropractors do. I have worked with quite a few local chiropractors since the late 90s, and I'm an advanced practice health care provider myself. I highly recommend Sensoria Chiropractic.
Dr. Shippy is great, he is knowledgeable & very professional! Yesterday was my 1st chiropractic appointment since 2020. After years of nursing my baby & going through the whole infant- toddler faze with my daughter had put my body out of alignment. As a yoga teacher I do many poses to help my alignment, but no pose could EVER do what Dr. Shippy was able to do. My right shoulder was higher than my left, causing jaw, neck, and shoulder discomfort. As well as my mid to lower back. Today I feel I have a better range of motion and am shifting in my seat less often. I can’t wait to come back to help my tilted pelvis. ( also the office is super sophisticated, I love the mood and furniture)
I was searching for an animal chiropractor for my 8yo doberman Luka. He was suffering from some kind of trauma to his neck and I was hoping Dr Shippy could help him. The first couple of times Luka was very nervous, as he had never had any spinal adjustments. Dr Shippy was very kind and VERY patient with him. His 3rd adjustment went very well and Luka has gone from a dog in a lot of pain, to a dog that can now play with his ‘siblings’ without fear of getting hurt. It’s been nothing short of a miracle for Luka, and I thank God I found a wonderful Dr for him. Dr Shippy genuinely cares for animals, you can clearly see that in how he treats them. I will continue to bring Luka to him whenever he needs a chiropractor!!! Thank you for all you have done for Luka, Dr Shippy!!
