Prior to seeing Dr. Shea I was experiencing neck and shoulder pain, lower back pain, hip pain and foot/leg cramping. My neck pain is all but gone. My shoulder pain and low back pain are improving. The cramps have lessened and I expect more improvement with future care. The biggest difference for me was the ability to sleep much better than before which affects all aspects of my life. An unexpected benefit of being of my chiropractic care was the return of my singing voice which is important to me as I have done commercial voice overs for local San Diego companies such as McDonalds, The Vein and Liposuction Center and many more. I would recommend Dr. Shea to anyone dealing with chronic pain and in fact, referred a friend to him from my work.
