Dr. Shawn Shapiro

I watched how our healthcare system made my grandmother sicker. My grandmother went into the hospital for a mitral valve replacement in 1997. Her surgery went fine, but her aftercare got her sick! A missed diagnosis, medication errors, and apathy on the part of the medical staff led to her getting worse after the surgery rather than better. I thought to myself, “There has to be another way to restore dignity to health care and improve a person’s quality of life, by interacting with a doctor.”

While pursuing this concern, I found that our medical system was greatly flawed. It was ultimately based on the premise that everyone who was sick, was somehow missing something.

I started to learn more about vitalism and about how the body needed to heal itself. This inspired me to pursue a career in chiropractic care. I found that when practiced properly, chiropractic care could empower people and restore them to health again. Chiropractic also could provide a way for their health to continuously improve on a regular basis.

I have always been interested in how the mind relates to the body, and earned bachelor’s degrees in human biology and psychology. Then, I earned my Doctor of Chiropractic from Logan University in Chesterfield, Missouri. At Logan, I was given a fantastic education in clinical diagnosis as well all clinical sciences.
