“Dr. Shawn Handeland helps me relax enough to be able to correct all the tension spots and my "out of alignment". He is respectful and professional yet adds a touch of humanity in the treatment. I am often skeptical of chiropractors...but he has earned my trust.”

“Shawn is awesome! Highly recommend!”
MF Milissa F. Google review · Handeland Chiropractic Clinic · June 2021
“Sometimes I have to reschedule but the staff at Handenland is SUPER flexible, easy to work with and after a recent fall on ice and busting my face I didn't think I could lay face down for adjustment but Shawn listened to all my concerns and I was able to. Chiropractor care is a tremendous part of my care and recovery. I can tell when needing adjusted cause I start feeling physically off.”
AQ Aimee Q. Google review · Handeland Chiropractic Clinic · March 2021
“Both Dr. Mike & Dr. Shawn are phenomenal! They help our whole family feel our best. I appreciate how excellent they are with kids. My daughter is 8 and loves getting adjusted. She’s gone to Mike since she was a baby but saw Shawn earlier this week. She was able to get in the same day I called and instantly felt relief.”
