Chiropractic relieves aches and pains and improves my sleep, energy, and overall health.

Fredericton Patient Testimonial

I’m a 50+ active male who participated in many sports over the years and today although still active in hockey, golf, biking and some weight training feel the structural discomfort, pain and soreness of the past and present activities. I have tried other forms of therapy where the results have been good at the time and you leave feeling relief at the time but quickly regress to the old aches and pains.

I decided to visit Dr. Shelley and during the visit she discussed a program with me which would move my physical condition from treatment to maintenance in six to eight weeks. Knowing my body I knew that one or two treatments would not bring me to the place I wanted to be so I decided to give her plan a try.

Today, I’m pleased to say the planned treatment schedule has been good for me, I am in about week seven and very close to the maintenance plan, progress has been steady after each treatment and relief from the aches and pains has lessened each day improving my sleep, energy and overall health.

Chiropractic care and the professionalism of Dr. Shelley have helped me improve my health and well being which in turn permits me to participate in the activities I enjoy with more comfort.

My daughter now has full movement in her hips and no more knee pain!

Fredericton Patient Testimonial

Since my daughter was able to walk at 8 months old she often complained about her knees hurting and her right foot turned in quite a bit, at first we thought it was just growing pains but when we realized this wasn’t just going away, we took her to our family doctor and then to a pediatrician. When Riley was about a year and a half old we decided to take her to Dr. Shelley. With our initial visit with Dr. Shelley she told us as she was checking my daughter that her hips were very tight and there was practically no movement in them. We started a treatment plan of two adjustments a week for the first couple of weeks and instantaneously we saw that my daughter’s leg was straighter and she was barely complaining of any knee pain at all. Now my daughter is two years old and her foot is finally straight and she has no knee pain anymore and she has full movements in her hips thanks to Dr. Shelley. She looks forward to going to visit Dr. Shelley to get adjusted (her “click-click”).

Chiropractic for pregnancy.

Fredericton Patient Testimonial

When I first was first introduced to Dr. Kelly Vanslyke, I had already been seeing Chiropractic care for about 2 years. I knew the importance of Chiropractic care, even in the absence of pain, so I asked a good friend to refer me to their Dr. of Chiropractic.

The care and attention Dr. Kelly showed me during that first visit, was really unparalleled to any others I’ve seen. She was knowledgeable, heartfelt and truly, truly cared.

When she moved locations, of course, I followed :) And I’m so glad I did! The care both my husband and I have been receiving for almost a year now at Fredericton Family Chiropractic has been wonderful. The entire team is great!

We see both Dr. Kelly and Dr. Shelley Quinlan. Dr. Shelley has the same wonderful attitude and really shows genuine concern. Both she and Dr. Kelly have made such a difference in my overall well being. Especially at this time in my life, expecting my first child! I have been getting regular adjustments since the first month I found out I was pregnant. Now, in my ninth month, I don't think I could feel any better! (for a pregnant woman :)

My body is growing, my pelvis is shifting and so many other things going on in my body, that I really don't know how I could have made it without being adjusted weekly. I cannot wait to introduce chiropractic care to my little baby. In fact, his first little adjustment will be at the hospital :)I’ve learned a lot about health and wellness, and my quality of life has improved SO much.

I can’t thank them enough :)

Benefits for overall health and well being.

Fredericton Patient Testimonial

Continuing chiropractic care contributes to my overall general health & well being. As a dental hygienist my days are spent hunched over my patients, and chiropractic keeps me functioning. I always feel better after an adjustment and also feel 3 inches taller.

Pain free and drug free.

Fredericton Patient Testimonial

Dr. Shelley, words cannot express how much you and Dr. Kelly have helped me overcome my back pain. In March I started visiting you and I could barely function, constant back pain had put me off work since January. My family doctor was adamant that my only source of help was pain meds. I couldn’t function on them any longer. I have been visiting you faithfully since March. You were very helpful in setting me up for the appropriate schedule which I have found very effective. Thank you so much for helping me feel like living again. I should also thank you for helping almost my entire family. . . . husband, daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter!!!!! You’re the best!

Legs don't hurt as much, and my hip is better.

Fredericton Chiropractor

First of all I just want to say a big thank you for all your encouragement and support during the process of taking control of my quality of life and health. I am finally on the path to feeling like a whole person again.

I started sessions with you and found out a lot about myself and that my quality of life could be better. Only after a few sessions did I start to notice big improvements in my body, my legs didn't hurt as much and my hips felt better. I came to all my sessions and now go for maintenance because I want to maintain the quality of life I now have and didn't have before!

Chiropractic care has changed my life and I am now pain free and am still doing my regular visits and exercises. It gave me the courage as I was feeling better with each session to go beyond what is normal for me and work hard at feeling like a whole person again.

Chiropractic adjustments are essential!

Fredericton Chiropractor

I have been receiving chiropractic adjustments regularly since I was in my forties. If not for these adjustments, I am convinced that I would by now be totally non-functional. These adjustments are essential in order to maintain movement and proper alignment and curvature of the spine and to correct subluxations. In my opinion, these ongoing adjustments are a small price to pay in terms of how much they improve my quality of life.

I thank God every day for exemplary and compassionate chiropractors like Dr. Shelley, that devote their lives to improving the quality of life of so many people which otherwise, through traditional medicine, would be doomed to years of needless pain and suffering, relying on heavy medication and eventually, ending in debilitating states of existence.
