What Do Chiropractors Do?
Chiropractors treat patients by adjusting their spines. The spine is made up of small bones called vertebrae. The chiropractor uses their hands to adjust the position of the vertebrae. This helps to relieve pressure on the nerves and muscles up and down the spinal column. Chiropractic care can help to improve joint function, reduce pain, and improve overall health.
Chiropractic care works by correcting dysfunctional joints in the spine. When spinal joints are dysfunctional, vertebrae can cause interference in the body’s communication system. This can lead to a number of health problems.
When spinal joints loose their normal motion, vertebrae can put pressure on the nerves and muscles. This can lead to pain, discomfort, and other health problems. This is called a subluxation. Chiropractors specialize in finding subluxations and making small gentle adjustments When spinal joints loose their normal motion, vertebrae can promote natural healing.
If you are looking for relief from pain or want to improve your overall health, consider chiropractic care.
Chiropractors also offer advice on how to improve your health through diet and exercise. They may also recommend massage or other therapies to help you recover from an injury or maintain good health.
Common Reasons to See a Chiropractor

Chiropractors specialize in spinal health, which has a major impact on your nervous system and therefore your overall health. We highly recommend seeing a chiropractor on a regular basis for overall wellness and health, even if you are not experiencing immediate pain or symptoms today.
Benefits of Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care has many benefits. Some of the most common benefits include relief from pain, improved mobility, and reduced inflammation. Chiropractic care can also help improve your overall health and well-being.
The best part is that Chiropractic care is natural and noninvasive. It is a safe and effective way to treat a variety of health conditions. This is a great way to heal naturally without the use of medications or invasive surgeries.
Chiropractic Adjustment
Each chiropractic adjustment is individually tailored to the patient based on their presenting condition. Our chiropractic physician, Dr. Alex Shippy, has been extensively trained in over 8 chiropractic techniques. Having a wide range of techniques available allows him to honor your body’s unique needs. The style, or way, any technique is presented to your body is the most essential aspect to healing. At Sensoria Chiropractic, every chiropractic technique is presented to your body based on who you are as an individual. The style makes the chiropractic technique for YOU, instead of you as another patient for the same technique. We invest time to get to know you during your initial visits and throughout your care to not only offer the best chiropractic technique for YOU, but offer it in a way that fosters true healing.
Our mode of operating when it comes to adjusting is working WITH your body and not ON your body. We never force anything to happen. We believe that if something is to change, your body should be the deciding factor.
If you’re dealing with pain, discomfort, or other health-related issues, get in touch with our chiropractic team. We’d love to help find the underlying cause and get you on the path to optimal health.
When you come in for your first appointment, we’ll take a look at your health history and do a physical examination. This will help us determine the best course of treatment for you. We’ll work with you on how to best approach your situation and get you feeling great again.
We’re committed to getting you on the path to optimal health. To get started, contact our office to book your first appointment where we will build you a health plan, and answer any initial questions!
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!!
I highly recommend Dr. Shippy to anyone looking for an excellent chiropractor. When I first came to his office I was dealing with significant pain and very limited mobility. Something as simple as going down the stairs was extremely difficult for me. After working with Dr. Shippy my pain has decreased dramatically and my mobility has improved so much that I can now go down the stairs without any issues. I am even starting to get back into my exercise routine.<br><br>One thing that really stands out is how thorough and attentive he is. His intake process is very detailed and he spends real time understanding what is going on with your body. Unlike some places where you walk in, get a quick adjustment, and are out the door within a minute, Dr. Shippy truly takes the time to ask how you are doing and evaluate what actually needs attention that day.<br><br>He also offers a variety of treatments including laser therapy and a decompression machine, which makes a big difference in the level of care you receive. Every adjustment feels very intentional and purposeful. He is very intuitive and does not just adjust for the sake of adjusting.<br><br>Dr. Shippy is incredibly patient, professional, and accommodating with scheduling. His office has a welcoming and positive environment that makes every visit a great experience. I am very grateful for the progress I have made under his care and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve mobility and reduce pain.
I didn't have a specific reason for seeing Dr Shipley . I took a leap of faith. And after only one treatment my body felt more relaxed less stiff and I seemed to have more energy. Highly recommend Sensoria Chiropractic.
We love Sensoria! Not only is Dr. Shippy good with the humans, he also sees our family dog and a client’s dog, both senior pups! He’s thorough, patient, and has extensive knowledge of various conditions. I’m looking forward to continuing with him regularly on this journey of healthy living. (Carla / Tallahassee Lassie PC)
Dr. Shippy is a very professional and caring chiropractor. He spent a lot of time with me, much more than I have ever experienced from a chiropractor. He even secured an mri for me and an orthopedic appointment. Do your self a favor and go see him, you will not be disappointed.
I had a wonderful experience at Sensoria Chiropractic. The staff was friendly, and Dr. Shippy thoroughly assessed my condition and explained everything clearly. After just one session, I felt significant relief! Highly recommend for anyone seeking chiropractic care!
Dr Shippy is awesome. It was my first time ever at a Chiropractor so I didn’t know exactly what to expect. He walked me through everything, in detail, and after my first adjustments, I was already feeling better. I would highly recommend him to my friends and family!
Extremely nice and professional environment/team. Dr. Shippy was very kind, attentive, and worked with me to help figure out a care plan based on my needs!
Dr. Shippy was super thorough, patient with my many questions, and informative. In just my first visit, I learned so much about my body I never knew and he taught me so many functional tips and little lifestyle changes to help alleviate my health problems. I had never been to a chiropractor before and was nervous going in pregnant in my third trimester, but he had a very comforting and calming presence. After the adjustment, I immediately felt baby descending into a better position and was relieved of my SI joint pain. For the first time in a long time, I slept soundly through the night like a baby and did not even have to get up once to pee which is a rare thing in my pregnancy! I also appreciated that he took the time to follow up with me after my appointment to make sure I was doing good and taken care of. His front office receptionist Melody also made me feel right at home. I also liked that they seemed to have affordable rates and options compared to other offices I looked into and was not pressured into any long term contracts that would cost me an arm and a leg.
I am glad to recommend Dr Alex Shippy, DC, Sensoria Chiropractic, where i have gone for monthly adjustments for about two years. He is a highly skilled, kind and perceptive practitioner. I started going to Sensoria when a colleague was impressed by Dr Shippy’s skill and compassion in caring for her dog. Knowing this, i was interested in seeing him myself, and it gives me peace of mind knowing i can call on him if my dog ever needs chiropractic care.
Dr. Shippy is an exceptional chiropractor—approachable, caring, innovative, knowledgeable, and professional. He consistently goes the extra mile and has been a tremendous help to our entire family. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top chiropractor in Tallahassee!
Dr. Shipley is first class. Dr. Shippy is all about the patient and making them healthier. He has gone above and beyond for my family. You will not be disappointed with Dr. Shippy and his staff.
I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Shippy and Sensoria Chiropractic. After experiencing some past pt related trauma, I was honestly nervous to seek care again, but Dr. Shippy has completely changed that for me. His approach is so gentle, thoughtful, and truly patient-centered.<br><br>What stood out the most is how clearly he explains everything in a way that feels approachable and easy to understand. I never once felt rushed or dismissed ever.<br><br>Instead, I felt seen, heard, and supported. Through our sessions, I also discovered a few areas that really needed attention that I wouldn’t have known about otherwise that have improved my movement & every day<br>life greatly!<br><br>I’m so grateful for the care and compassion I’ve received here. Thank you, Dr. Shippy, for creating such a healing, safe space!
Dr. Shippy is an exceptional chiropractor. His calm demeanor, professionalism, and attention to detail are well appreciated. The facility was incredibly clean, and the warm and welcoming staff make Sensoria Chiropractic an easy choice when I’m in need of treatment!
I reached out to Dr. Shippy for animal chiropractic. My cat was having issues not tucking her tail when using the litter box--which was causing a cleanup challenge for me. Dr. Shippy took x-rays and found degeneration in her discs at the junction of her sacrum and tail. He followed up with an adjustment. His calm nature and terrific way with animals allowed my cat to feel relaxed. She did great with the treatment and slept in my lap the rest of the night. We are still early in the treatment process. I'm looking forward to continuing to troubleshoot this with Dr. Shippy. Highly recommend.
My kids and I always feel so well cared for at Sensoria! The cold laser therapy has been especially helpful when it comes to helping my youngest heal skin inflammation.
Best Chiropractor in Tallahassee! Sensoria has a warm and homey feel to it, adding to the experience. Dr. Shippy really put some thought into his practice and it just shows how passionate he is. My wife and I got an adjustment done, and can honestly feel the difference in our day to day. Highly recommend! We will definitely be visiting again when in town!
Have been going for about 6 months now and have definitely seen the benefits of the adjustments Dr. Shippy has made. Very affordable for students who just need a chiropractor to have in Tallahassee as well
Dr. Shippy at Sensoria is skilled, peaceful and kind. He has helped me with alignment for a while now and I feel really good! He is my very favorite chiropractor I have ever been to. Also his office is beautiful and clean. Highly recommend.
Dr. Shippy is absolutely incredible! I’ve been to many “one-size-fits-all” chiropractors before, but this experience was completely different. From the moment I walked in, I could tell that Dr. Shippy truly cares about providing personalized, thorough care. He took the time to conduct the most comprehensive first-visit evaluation I’ve ever had and clearly explained every step of his recommended treatment plan.<br><br>Dr. Shippy was professional, attentive, and committed to addressing the root of my problem. I left my appointment feeling informed, confident, and genuinely cared for. Thank you!
I have had a great experience with Dr Shippy. Has taken me from being fearful of visiting a chiropractor to seeing him twice a week. I am seeing marked improvement with pain in my hands. I actually may be able to avoid surgery because of his treatment. My neck has hurt me nearly every day for as long as I can remember. Now I am soooo much better . Sometimes days go by and I realize I’ve had no neck pain! I highly recommend, Dr. Shippy for your chiropractic needs!
Dr. Shippy is amazing. He his thorough in his approach to care and treats the whole body in a systematic process that leads to better well being, overall function, and health. I have been to other chiropractors and all failed to tailor the process in this manner. Dr. Shippy is leaps and bounds better than all the rest.
Dr Shippy is amazing. Very thorough and takes the time to go over the process. Treatments plans are fantastic. Would recommend Sensoria Chiropractic to anyone.
Incredibly professional, detailed history, comprehensive neurological & orthopedic exam, X-rays. Specific manipulation eliciting transformational musculoskeletal & body system change.<br>The single best chiropractor I’ve been to in FL.
I would highly recommend you go see Alex Shippy for your Chiropractic needs. He provides excellent care and service! I threw my back out and could not work, he helped me get immediate relief and got me back on my feet!
I love Sensoria. Dr. Alex Shippy is a wonderful chiropractor and his office so clean and well thought out.<br><br>He also does chiropractic work on pets like dogs and other animals.<br><br>I'll admit to not being 100% sure that chiropractic work was for me, but after a few months, it's been easier and easier to maintain good posture after a lifetime of slouching and crouching.<br><br>Maybe more importantly, as someone who has played sports well past when he probably should have, I've been concerned with my spine for years (after an injury I had when I was younger) and afraid of what an expert might say. On my very first visit, Dr. Shippy quickly x-rayed my spine and found that everything was okay. It was nice to receive a diagnosis so quickly.<br><br>Super professional, precise, talented, and very polite. Highly reccommend!
Sensoria Chiropractic is amazing! We met Dr.Shippy almost a year ago and he has treated my entire family (including our agility dog). I would recommend him to anyone, with any condition calling for chiropractic care.
Dr. Shippy does a fantastic job. Knowledgable, and he takes his time adjusting you and explaining his reasoning. Provides stretches and other tools for you to use between adjustments. Gentle adjustments that truly help.
Sensoria Chiropractic is the best in town! Dr. Shippy is incredible, he always tunes into what the body needs in the moment. I always leave the office feeling like a brand new man!
I came into Dr. Shippys office in so much pain and hardly able to walk. He was very patient, very gentle, and took his time in making sure I received excellent care. Since my first visit, I’ve been back a few times a week doing the spinal decompression physical therapy, and my back is in better shape than it has ever been. I see him regularly now and would recommend him to absolutely everyone.
Always a great experience with Dr. Shippy! He’s very thorough with exams and adjustments, and provides great recommendations for at-home exercises when needed. Highly recommend!
WOW! I went in not really knowing what to expect and left feeling fully informed—with a solid plan to feel better. Dr. Shippy kindly worked me into the schedule but still took his time; he never rushed any part of the appointment. He asked thoughtful questions and genuinely listened to understand my pain so he could better help me. I couldn’t be more grateful that I chose Dr. Shippy at Sensoria!
I can’t thank Dr. Alex Shippy enough! I went to him after waking up on a Saturday with extreme wrist pain caused by my job and a chronic Carpal Tunnel Syndrome issue I’ve been battling for a while. I could barely make a fist, bend my wrist, or even pick up small objects.<br><br>Thankfully, I found that Dr. Shippy’s office was open on Saturdays, and I was able to quickly book an appointment online.<br><br>Dr. Shippy gave me a thorough examination, performed a few adjustments, and provided clear recommendations to manage the pain and swelling in my wrist. I followed his advice, and by Sunday morning, I woke up with no pain. I was almost 100% better! After continuing to follow his directions, within two days, I felt completely pain-free.<br><br>Thank you, Dr. Shippy, for your incredible help and care. Highly recommend!
Dr. Shippy is a one of a kind provider, one who genuinely cares about the mental, emotional and physical facets of you as a human being. There are many chiropractors who can “crack your back” but if you are looking for more than a superficial approach to your healthcare and want long term, long lasting results that address systemic imbalances then you are in the right place. Holistic care is the care of the future but it also can be the care of the present. The adjustments and energy work treatments that I have received from Sensoria have been pivotal in improving my reflux and chronic anxiety symptoms, helping me to come off medications previously needed to control these conditions. You know that you have found a gem when you can honestly say you have improved quality of life and feel cared for as if you were family. Thank you for practicing at the top of your field, practicing current evidenced based medicine, your compassion, your heart and for existing. You make the world a better place.
What an amazing place! Dr. Shippy was very kind and welcoming. He did a wonderful job at explaining things to me and what he felt was best for me and my body. I felt very comfortable and taken care of. The office is very clean. I’m so glad I found Sensoria Chiropractic! I will be telling everyone to come here!
Dr. Shippy is truly an exceptional chiropractor. From the very first visit, it’s clear he genuinely cares about making you feel heard, seen, and fully supported in your journey toward better health. The atmosphere he creates is warm, calming, and incredibly encouraging. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Shippy to all my friends and family, and even encourage bringing your beloved fur babies- he is truly wonderful.
I had a great experience at Sensoria Chiropractic with Dr. Alex Shippy. The office is clean and professional, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Dr. Shippy is kind, intuitive, and genuinely caring, making me feel comfortable throughout my treatment. I highly recommend this practice for anyone seeking chiropractic care!
Dr. Shippy goes above and beyond with everyone he sees. I highly recommend Dr. Shippy to anyone looking for chiropractic treatment! The best of the best.
