"I am a musician and did damage to my left shoulder a few years back that kept haunting me.  When the pain came back a few months ago, along with mid/lower back pain, I couldn't even play my instrument without being in excruciating pain. The pain did not improve so I decided to seek chiropractic care because many of my friends had great success with chiropractors. Dr. Shannon has worked on a number of factors including my pelvis, spine, neck, and shoulders. I have been working with her for a couple of months now and am completely pain free! I have enjoyed not only the therapy and adjustments I have received, but also the consultation regarding exercises I should be doing on a daily basis to keep my back, neck, and shoulder healthy. I am convinced how important consistent chiropractic care is and am so thankful to have found Dr. Shannon!"

"For two years I have had pain in my lower right back and down my right leg. The pain was getting to be so severe that I could not sleep at night or even continue with my normal exercise routine. I found Dr. Shannon’s website and read all of her great reviews and instantly picked up the phone and made an appointment for that evening. During my initial consultation, she noticed that my spine had a slight curvature. After that first visit, I felt immediate relief. Thank you Dr. Shannon, you have given me my ability to enjoy life again…"

"My wife and I have two children with Cystic Fibrosis which is a harsh pulmonary disease. It can at times be as demanding on the caregivers/parents as it is on the children. Our children have been fortunate and have been responding well to their current pulmonary therapy and while they have had difficult seasons each year of their lives, our pulmonologist has encouraged their participation in sports and I have had the privilege of coaching their teams. My wife and I have worked very hard to stay in shape, finding that it is a great way to keep our energy level high as we care for the children,and relieve the stress of the typical long day.

We spent 12 weeks through the spring months using the P90X workout plan. I recommend it to anyone needing to take their fitness to the next level. The routines are shown in several modified levels so that you can participate at any level of fitness. I, like many people I'm sure, chose a level during one workout that was a little beyond my level of fitness and strained my left elbow. Ouch! I iced it and backed off on the intensity for the rest of my
work outs, with two weeks in the series I had elbow pain but it was not unbearable.

Then in early July I was packing the Tahoe to return from a trip and using my left arm lifted my suitcase over the left passenger seat and into the rear of the vehicle. The space was full but I made room with the suitcase which caused me to hold the weight of the suitcase longer than I should have at such a awkward position. I do not remember feeling a snap but a very sharp pain in my elbow which I realized I had just re-injured. I've never experienced pain at that level before. Ice, Aleve, nothing phased it. I couldn't twist the top off a bottle of apple juice. More ice, more Aleve, more not using my left arm. I iced my elbow for 8 weeks and had drastically altered my workouts but found no improvement.

Finally, my wife suggested I make an appointment to see Dr. Parisi, who helped me recover from a back injury in January of this year. Dr. Parisi worked me in on a Friday morning and by the following Sunday I was able to workout without pain. Don't put off your recovery. Make an appointment. As you can see from the photo we are an active family. Thanks to Dr. Parisi, I made a 2 1/2 hour trip down the Nantahala river without elbow pain."

Thanks Dr. Parisi; I thank you and my family thanks you.

"I visited Parisi Chiropractic after meeting Dr. Shannon at a local community event. I explained how I have been suffering from a long history of tension in my neck and upper back due to the nature of my job and the need to sit in front of a computer for hours on end. During my initial consultation, she noticed that there seemed to be added strain on the left side of my body. It was only after her question of, "Have you been lifting something extremely heavy with your left side?" that I realized my 30 pound 2 year old was also having an impact on my neck troubles! After starting routine visits with Dr. Shannon, I am happy to say that my neck tension is no more! I felt immediate relief and continuing the treatment has proven to be a great benefit for me. I no longer sit in pain at the end of my workday and I am also aware of the need to lift my daughter a little less on my left side. I also value how flexible Dr. Shannon is with her availability as my work is sometimes demanding and projects are always coming up unexpectedly. Thank you to Parisi Chiropractic for giving me the ability to enjoy my work and life!"

"Being a ballet dancer, I put my body through a lot of stress. It is almost inevitable that I am going to be injured sooner or later. This past March, during my spring performance, I experienced excruciating pain in my foot and metatarsal area. It was so bad I could barely finish the show.

After that performance, I went to an orthopedic doctor and described what was happening. They took X-rays; but without knowing exactly what was going on, they put me in an orthopedic boot for 2 weeks. When this only made it worse, I was desperate. My massage therapist referred me to Dr. Parisi. I was skeptical at first, not knowing how a chiropractor could help my foot, but like I said, I was desperate.

After I told what was going on, she immediately checked my spinal alignment. I kept asking myself, "What does my spine have to do with my foot?" Once she explained how chiropractic works, it all made sense. Your spine is the center of your body, so if that's out of line then it can interrupt alignment of other things. Even after one adjustment I could feel a difference. Not just in my foot but my entire body. I kept coming back every week and I started seeing a big improvement. I completed my performance in June with no pain whatsoever. I was amazed and very pleased with Dr. Parisi and with chiropractic. I recommend chiropractic to everyone."

"An old back injury I had flared up so bad I could barely move and had to walk with a cane. My grandma made me promise to go see a chiropractor so I called Dr. Shannon and am I glad I did! The X-ray she did showed that my spine looked like a backwards "J" and I moved like a 200 year old man. After just a handful of visits my back felt better and better and I could exercise again! I can't recommend this therapy enough!  Thanks Doc!!!"

Mary, Neck Pain

"Dr. Shannon is a skilled chiropractor, She is not only highly trained in her profession, she is also dedicated and passionate about her work. My visit to Shannon was not only successful and informative, it was very reasonable. I can recommend Dr. Shannon with pleasure."

"I came to see Dr. Parisi because of a sore shoulder joint. After a few sessions the pain went away completely and have enjoyed the fulness of the full spinal adjustments since."

I am looking forward to continued care from Dr. Parisi in the future.

"Dr. Parisi is the consummate professional. She knows her stuff, has a great attitude and after only one session I knew I could trust my aches and pains to her. I even brought my son in to be adjusted. I recommend her highly and know you will too once you've seen her for only one adjustment."

Laura, Neck Pain and Tension

"Dr. Parisi introduced me to chiropractic care and took the time to educate me every step of the way. I felt more range of motion in my neck and back after the first visit. Dr. Parisi made me feel very comfortable as she listened to me and designed care around my body, my needs, and my schedule."

---

"I was so surprised by the level of understanding Dr. Parisi knew of where my pain was even originating from. I have severe problems with my shoulders (they pop NON stop) and I have been to many different chiropractors. I was really surprised when I left her office that day and had NO popping. I would recommend her to anyone."

April, Low Back Pain

"When I walked in the door, Dr. Parisi greeted me with a big smile. She took great care of me. I now understand the importance of chiropractic care and what it can do for me. After just two weeks, not only did my low back pain go away, but I also noticed that I could breath better and I can run for a longer period of time without feeling tired. Choosing Parisi Chiropractic is the best thing I have done for myself in years."

Katrina, Low Back Pain

"I've had lower back pain for awhile now, was skeptical about seeing anyone, but a friend recommended Dr. Parisi. I have been seeing her for a little over a month now and my back pain has decreased to the point it is almost gone. I highly recommend her to anyone and her prices are very reasonable. Great, clean office, very welcoming!‎"
