EXCELLENCE, DECENCY AND CONSUMMATE PROFESSIONALISM. This is actually a (revised) repost of a review left months ago that must've not been posted using a new app that apparently doesn't work. But I can do this from memory, as my sentiments haven't changed and have possibly even become stronger over time. I can't say enough how grateful I am to have found Dr. Shannahoff. It started off as a group of treatments that were gifted to me by a dear friend. After the treatment package ended, I stayed on and the initial spinal decompression therapy has now expanded to anti-inflammatory hyperbaric oxygen chamber therapy. He should open a food court at the office, because at this point, I'd probably eat there, as well. 🥙 Joking aside, Dr. Shannahoff is firstly, one of the best human beings I have ever met. And as rare as this happens for me, he and I have become friends and talk about our common interests outside of pain management and health. He's the easiest guy to talk to and is as nice as they come. 👍🏽 As far as his treatment goes, I can firmly say that it has opened up physical possibilities that were once limited by extreme pain and limited range of motion. With him, I'm back cycling again, surfing and doing activities that I normally would've avoided because of the painful aftermath associated with them. Additionally, I've been able to get off of my pharmaceutical pain regimen, which brought with it a whole host of other issues. Of course, with the back, it's up and down and I'm my own worst enemy when I push myself too hard and have to crawl into his office to get fixed or stretched back to normal. But I honestly don't know where I'd be without "Dr. B," as I call him. He helps me understand the limits and how to live a fulfilling life within those limits without feeling shortchanged in any way. He's also become an unexpected friend and a life anchor for me when I needed that the most. I guess things happen for a reason. So thank you, Dr. B—you're a true mensch and I bless the day I met you! 🙏🏽 I suppose if there's a takeaway from this review, then it might be this: Dr. Shannahoff is one of the few doctors who I can say positively shaped the course of my health (as well as mental approach to health) the MOST. He has shown me how wonderful and beneficial a patient-doctor relationship could be and truly gives me something to look forward to on the days I go to see him. It also is one appointment for which I will GLADLY take on the Los Angeles traffic! So, if you want to get serious about resolving your back and flexibility issues, know that Dr. Shannahoff is more than just a chiropractor, he is a HEALER. And if your goal is to reduce inflammation and even (according to the experts) look younger and possibly live longer, then you should also look into hyperbaric oxygen therapy—whether with Dr. Shannahoff or someone else. And BONUS: women who didn't really give me a second look are asking me "what I did" because I look "ten years younger." I just say, "Ancient Chinese secret." (with a totally inappropriate Mandarin accent). No joke. Give Dr. Shannahoff a try, even though you've been to DCs before or think you've exhausted similar avenues. Remember that healing is facilitated through the hands (and heart) of the individual healer, so every healer brings with him/her a different level of said healing. Thanks for reading and may you continue on your personal healing journey to successful maintenance or a conclusion!

I had been having a lot of pain in my neck and lower back when I went to Dr. Shannahoff. Since being in the treatment, I have experienced real relief. Dr. Shannahoff is a perfect example of integrity and care.  After being for many years under the care of a naturopathic medical doctor (and working for him) and a chiropractor in Florida treating me for the same condition - there is such a huge contrast in the quality of the treatment and the doctor/patient relationship!!!! and  I am so thankful for having the contrasting experience!!!  The difference in the relationship between Dr. Shannahoff and my other doctors?  I trust his judgement while I question theirs.  I believe it is that underlying lack of integrity and indifference to the welfare of the patient so rampant in the doctor/patient relationship of today - that a patient "feels" and fosters mistrust of the doctor.  Again, Dr. Shannahoff, thank you for being such a caring and trustworthy doctor.

Dr. Shannahoff been able to return absolutely normal functionality to my arm. It is just amazing! He is tremendously knowledgeable, professional and kind with passion to heal every patient. Happy Birthday, Doctor!

Dr. Shannahoff is absolutely amazing! Beyond being funny and personable, his chiropractic work is on point and I have made significant improvements to my health through the treatment I have received in his office. My insurance doesn't cover chiropractic care but regardless, it was worth every penny to be healthy and pain free. I highly recommend Dr. Shannahoff's office to anyone in pain or discomfort. Best of all, they bake fresh cookies in their office. Talk about top-notch care :)

Dr. Shannahoff is extremely knowledgeable in the field of spine health and how it relates to pain and overall health. I was being treated for spinal pain after some past injuries and following spinal surgery. I have experienced some measurable relief from my pain and am able to have a greater degree of functionality. I wish I had skipped the disk surgery and gone directly to Bruce for my pain relief. I am an active person and former competitive cyclist; Dr. Shannahoff has a great wealth of experience in dealing with injuries to the spine and understood my desire to be active as he is an accomplished chiropractor and cyclist. I appreciate the technologies that the doctor utilized with his professional skills to help in my health and recovery from pain. THAN YOU SO VERY MUCH !!!!! Andrew
