I am a 23 year old Olympic Weightlifter and always considered myself to be healthy. Outside of my weightlifting training, I CrossFit 4 to 5 times each week, live an active lifestyle, regular doctor checkups, and i'm on the Paleo Diet. Usually, I can tell when something in my body is not feeling 100%. The only health "concern" I had was my asthma approximately 3 years ago I was diagnosed with asthma. I did not have problems with breathing as a child and my doctor had no explanation on why or what caused my asthma. I would have asthma attacks one or two times each year and would feel tightness in my chest when running.
On one particular day in the gym during training I was having trouble with my form; my coach told me I was "crooked". I didn't understand what she meant until she pointed out that my shoulders and back were higher on my right side than on my left. It was compromising my form. I didn't have pain or discomfort but she insisted that I have it checked out by a doctor before I could return to lifting.
I heard of Shea Family Chiropractic through the CrossFit community and friends so I decided to make an appointment. Thank goodness I did! Turns out my neck and spine being out of alignment were the cause of my asthma and being "crooked". Dr. Shea advised me to take action quickly due to the severity of my condition. With my busy schedule, a full time job, and my weightlifting, we were able to make a plan of action that was flexible and worked with me financially. Instantly I felt results! I no longer feel tightness in my chest when running. Breathing is easy! I feel stronger in the gym when in training and my form has improved tremendously. Most importantly i've changed the wasy I sit, stand, and sleep. I learned that taking care of my spine daily is just as important as my daily diet and exercise.
Thank you Shea Family Chiropractic!!

I am a varsity basketball player at Escondido High School. Since Freshman year, I would get horrible jolts of pain in my lower backt hat caused me to miss numerous games. I am now a senior, and the back pains were getting worse and coming more often. I have a good chance of getting a scholarship for basketball, so I could not afford to miss any games. I tried just about everything to fix it. I went to my general pratitioner, a spine specialist, a different chiropractor, and massage therapist. No one could help me! It was just starting to look like I was not going to play to my full potential when my Dad said we can try Dr. Shea. Dr. Shea examined me and noticed my balance was off by about 10lbs on one leg. He adjusted me and I felt much better after one visit. After only a few visits, I feel no pain and I can play to my abilities. He fixed my balance and I have an increased range of motion. I would recommend Dr. Shea to anyone looking for Chiropractic help because he helped me when no one else could.

I’ve been suffering from low back and neck pain for years; the pain got to be so severe at times that I ended up taking lots of Motrin. I’ve also taken prescription RX for this pain, but the relief was only temporary. In April of this year, I started seeing Dr. Shea and was not only impressed by his methods of treatment but also his strong belief to educate patients regarding their treatment. My lower back and neck pain have subsided a great deal, I feel so much better and I’ve stopped taking all pain medicine. I still come in once a week for adjustments, which I look forward to. I recommend Dr. Shea whenever I hear anyone complaining of back or neck pain

My Name is Isabel C. Diaz and I live in Escondido. May 5th, 2009 was the most horrific & physically devastating day of my life. I was involved in a 4 car crash, which totaled my car and left me injured and unable to move or function normally. I had whiplash, I couldn’t turn my head and look over my shoulder without being in tears, and my lower back was in constant & excruciating pain and not to mention the burning sensation running down my right thigh. Drying my hair was painful, putting on my shoes was painful, sitting, standing and laying were painful, even the act of driving a car was painful, needless to say, I was ALWAYS in pain. My work as a Realtor requires me to be consistently moving, driving, walking and going up and down stairs. I couldn’t work for well over 6 months.
I received a referral to Dr. Shea months after my accident and I thank God I did. After just a couple of weeks, I was able to see and feel vast improvement in my movements, the pain had decreased and my flexibility had increased drastically. I started to drive, able to walk without breaking into tears due to the intense pain.
Now, just a few months after, with keeping a regular adjustment schedule with Dr. Shea and attending his great health-themed presentations… I’m once again active in my life and in my family’s life. I now, am walking 4.5 miles daily (in less than 55 minutes), back to playing Tennis and even Jogging. I’m getting healthier every day, in every way.
I drive from Escondido to Poway for my treatments with a smile on my face, because of the positive impact Dr. Shea has had on my health & well-being. Everyone who has discomfort or pain should see Dr. Shea for treatment, no matter the distance involved. You’ll be glad you did!
THANKS A MILLION, DR. SHEA FOR GIVING ME THE GIFT OF HEALTH!

I came to Dr. Shea with Lower Back Problems. With my current job I’m standing for 16 Hours a day sometimes, so my lower back is always tense from the stress. I saw Dr. Shea and the changes were significant, I saw a change in posture and in the amount of tenseness with my lower back. I recommend Dr. Shea to anyone who needs adjustments or has any sort of back, neck or hip problems.

I don't think I could adequately express how grateful I am to Dr. Shea for all he was able to do for me. Initially, when I saw Dr. Shea, I was in extreme pain and at the end of my rope. My lower back was inflamed and I could barely stand up straight. My husband previously met Dr. Shea at a meeting and was very impressed with him and finally convinced me to give him a chance. I was a skeptic at first, but I really felt at ease after I met Dr. Shea. He was compassionate, understanding and very thorough. I felt some relief after a couple of treatments, continued with his treatment plan, and soon I was back to my old self. I am now a firm believer in chiropractic care and appreciate teh additional information Dr. Shea shares with his patients in regards to healthy eating. I highly recommend Dr. Shea to anyone who is in need of chiropractic care. It completely changed my life and now I am able to do active things such as exercise, hike, play tennis and most importantly, play with my grandkids!
Thank you Dr. Shea,
Lillian

Pain in the butt, pain in the neck were not just things they were a way of life for me. What drew me to Dr. Shea was that he took the time on a Saturday in this hectic world we live in at a Special Needs Fair taking place at Lake Poway. For any person to do this is special in its own right. From day one Dr. Shea explained everything to me so that I could understand without feeling inadequate. I explained my symptoms from the pain in my rump to the pain in my neck. From headaches, sinuses, and the most uncomfortable cysciatic. I could not sleep it was painful to walk, lift, to breathe through my nose. Sinus headaches so terrible, I would call in sick. In eight weeks time seeing Dr. Shea three times a week, I have no more need for pain pills to help with my sciatica. Upped my endurance for exercise have had no headaches from my sinuses or neck. Sinus medication rarely used. His adjustments have even helped with my IBS. Dr. Shea, has changed my health, wealth, and attitude. Not only from his adjustments but from his workshops I have attended. From my life to my job, no thanks will ever be enough for this special man, doctor, and person. I’m in the Medical profession he has allowed me to take better care of my patients and he made it possible for me to wear my wedding dress the way it should be worn.

Well actually my mother suggested originally that I should go to Shea Family Chiropractic and get adjusted to prevent future back and neck problems. I would now totally tell my friends to go and see Dr. Shea because the chairs we sit in while in school are not comfortable. There is something about them that really hurts your back and neck after you get up from them. Chiropractic care really makes me feel better because now my back doesn’t hurt and before I wouldn’t be able to lie down without it causing pain.

I've had virtually no back problems most of my life, however, I've had a few clicking and cracking joints for years, particularly in my wrist and ankle leaving a feeling of stiffness. I had to do something about it. Since I started treatment with Dr. Shea, I've felt consistent improvement on my wrist and ankle and I've been able to address other areas like my knees and hips as well. I felt the difference soon after the adjustments. I'm really satisfied and confident that I can bring up any condition that presents itself even weeks after the initial consultation and adjustment. Additionally, it's good to know that I'm also being regularly and personally observed and updated of my progress. Chiropractic care is not just for the spine. It helps beyond it too!

Dear Dr. Shea,
I wanted to send you a brief note to express my gratitude for the work you have done with me to help me improve my physical strength and conditioning. Working with you over the last few months has allowed me to redeem my normal weekend warrior activities and given me the ability to resume my noon time pick-up basketball games. After I re-injured my shoulder, the severe tightness and pain that resulted from this injury limited my physical ability for months. However, since meeting with you and working through the adjustments I have been able to fully redeem my physical dexterity restoring my ability to preform the crazy athletic adventures that I thrive on. I can't thank you enough for your time, diligence, and follow up in helping me regain my physical form. I look forward to continuing to work with you to maintain the highest level of activity I can get out of my aging body.

I met Dr.Shea at a community event for children with special needs. I had been considering looking for a chiropractor to work on my neck because I had lost a lot of motion in my neck, to the point that it was difficult to back up my car. Dr. Shea invited me to come to his free workshop. Unfortunately, my neck was so stiff and uncomfortable, I asked him to call me on Monday so I could make an appointment as soon as possible. I was really afraid to have a doctor manipulate my spine without instruments. Dr.Shea took the time to educate me and walk me through the adjustment. In my first week I had gained flexibility and motion in my neck. I can now look behind me while I'm backing out my car! He also fixed my other back issues, so I can now garden and clean my house almost pain free. As an educator for children I believe in educating the community to empower parents with knowledge. Dr.Shea is educating the community on wellness.

I came in to see Dr. Shea with severe neck pain. He adjusted my neck and my pain was relieved. I now have full movement in my neck and it has only been days after my first adjustment. If it wasn’t for him, I would still be in pain.

I had limitations in neck motion with dull pain for many months and finally decided to try treatment. After being treated by Dr. Shea and adding streching exercises I no longer have any neck pain!

“I first sought care because I was in a lot of pain from my hip, shoulders and neck. Most days I could barely turn my head. I wasn’t sleeping well due to the discomfort and it had started to affect my life in a negative way overall. I was referred to Dr. Shea by a classmate who has been seeing Dr. Shea for a while. She said it could really help. I’ve been seeing Dr. Shea for almost 2 months and the difference is night and day. Not only am I on the right path to recovery, I started feeling a major difference within the first few visits. Now, every time I hear someone living the way I was, I have to tell them about my experience with chiropractic care and assure them that they don’t’ have to live that way. There is no way I could ever thank Dr. Shea enough. He and the care he provides, have changed my life!”

We’ve been treating under Dr. Devin Shea’s chiropractic care for over a year now.
My wife and I actually started the treatment together and we still continue to this day. I wanted to look for Chiropractic care that could help me improve my health due to a minor lower back injury a few years prior that keep coming back and my wife wanted to relieve her upper back pain that she’s been having for a while.
I also wanted to look for a new chiropractor that was not shady with their adjustments, billing payments and insurance charges.
What we found was a lot more than what we had expected: GREAT chiropractic care, very informative and educational, clean and non-chaotic environment, friendly atmosphere, flexible payment plans, and best of all it has improved ouroverall health an additional 75%!
Dr. Shea really give you the attention that you deserve with every treatment session, in a private adjusting room and focused on adjusting your spine to relieve your pain in a consistent and professional manner.
He also gave us the tools we could use in our everyday lives that would help us be healthier and have better range of motion such as simple exercises that you could do at home in addition to your daily exercise routine.
The additional exercises helped my wife and I get in better shape and stay in shape. We feel better every day and I have since lost 55 pounds and I credit a good part of that weight loss to Dr. Shea’s chiropractic exercises.
Thank you Dr. Shea for making me and my wife healthier!
