Santa Barbara Chiropractic

Dr. Shadle is great! After living in the area and passing by his office frequently on my morning runs, I finally called in and set an appointment. SO happy I did! Can't recommend his services enough--the man is a true natural healer. His office is clean, warm and he is easy to talk to while being a consummate professional. I came to him with aches and pains from years of sports and weight-training.

After appointment 1, I felt infinitely better. After appointment 3, I felt like a new man. Very reasonably priced as well. If you're shopping for a talented, trustworthy, experienced chiropractor, Dr. Shadle is your guy.

Best Chiropractor in LA! There are a lot of quacks in this town and purported magical mystery healers, but Dr. Shadle is the real deal. It's no surprise that he is the chiropractor for Cher and her dancers when she goes on tour.

The best chiropractor I have had in 30 years. Efficient, effective, great bedside manner. My entire body hurts less. My neck hasn't been this pain free in years. And unlike other chiros, his technique is comfortable and not stressful or painful like others. And he takes insurance. It doesn't get better than Dr. Shadle.

A perfect combination of diagnostics with the ability to make you feel so much better. I would recommend Dr. Shadle to anyone that needs chiropractic work. He is easy to talk to and so smart about healing.

Best chiro around. Dr Shadle has fixed me every time. He's smart, kind and never forces as adjustment. 5 stars no question about it!

Came here for an emergency today and he saved me! I can actually move my neck! Huge thank you - this guy is amazing!

Dr. Shadle is absolutely the BEST! I have had 6 sessions with him for sciatica issues and literally could not do any of my normal life activities. Under his care I am back to doing my regular routine and my back pain and shooting pain is gone. I will be a patient for life. Thank you Dr. Shadle!

He's amazing. Very smart, really listens and works the problem areas thoroughly before doing adjustments and then really "checks his work" so-to-speak. I know the previous reviewer complains he never answers his phone but that's because he's with his patient and he never rushes through an appointment. When you're in his office, you're the only thing he focuses on.

He has no receptionist but if you leave a message, he always returns it as soon as he can. I've been to quite a few chiropractors and Dr. Shadle is the most focused and effective.

He's simply the best! Dr Shadle has worked wonders for my partner and I. I've needed a chiropractor since a snowboarding accident at the age of 16, and after moving to LA he has been a-must for the both of us. He is very gente and with his help I am sleeping better at night and performing fitness activities, and ALLother daily activities, to the fullest.

The ease of scheduling when you need, instead of when you are told to come back, is also what sets him apart from other chiros. He wants to help you, not just collect routine insurance payouts.

Never picks up the phone?! I have seen this chiropractor once and although it was a great adjustment (and I was desperate), any time I have tried calling after that treatment, the phone is never answered. Today, I called 4 times between prime business hours and again I received no answer. I don't understand how someone runs a business this way.

Cool guy. Works with my schedule and my wallet to make sure I get fixed up when I'm out of whack. He's not one of those chiro's who says you have to go in every month for the rest of your life. He helped me after a car accident and now I go in a couple time a year for maintenance.

I really like this Chiropractor. He's always helpful and to the point and I can call him anytime and he will try and get me in when and if I'm in pain. He also handles the issue and then sends you on your way and you don't have to "keep going forever" to resolve an issue. He gets it fixed and then I call him again if I need him for something else. I plan to see him anytime I need and throughout my upcoming pregnancy. Thank you.

I'm so glad I found Dr. Shadle! I was injured in a car accident and spent months seeing two other chiropractors and several massage therapists, and I was still having issues. I went to Dr. Shadle and within 3 visits I was feeling brand new and was back to rock climbing and yoga. He is kind, easygoing and excellent at what he does. Also very reasonably priced if you're paying out of pocket. I will definitely be back and recommend him to all my friends!

First of all, I hate chiropractors. Well, to be fair, I'd never even been to one before I decided I hated them. But I've seen enough snapping crackling and popping on tv shows and movies to know that I hate chiropractors. And then one day, I couldn't stand up straight without a rib armed with a machete stabbing me in the back of my lung.

I had gone through a giant pothole on my motorcycle and the suspension wasn't properly set up. Fast forward mega-pain, crankiness, inability to sleep, and asking friends with no medical training what they thought it could be. Found Dr. Shadle on Yelp and reluctantly made the appointment thinking this was the beginning of my life's "maintenance phase" where it would likely become a weekly appointment for the rest of my existence. Nope.

One and done. He's totally casual but clearly knowledgable. I explained where it hurt and how it happened and he immediately likened it to equestrian horse jumper folks who often had the same issue. Yes there was some popping, but his mannerisms make you feel relaxed and in good hands. Literally. Then years later, I did something to my neck. Waited almost two miserable weeks hoping it would go away, and when it didn't, I went back to Dr. Shadle who remembered me and he professionally provided another quick cure that immediately improved my range of motion and alleviated my pain.

So take it from someone who hated chiropractors, if you need relief without hassle from a trustworthy source who also takes insurance (or isn't too expensive if you don't have it), this is one (two) of those times that I wished I had gone to him sooner.

I was afraid I'd have to shop around to find a new chiro when I moved here from the Bay Area, where I had a miracle worker. I got really lucky to find Dr. Shadle, who I picked randomly because his office was close. He's excellent, and has unlocked places which my previous chiro couldn't get. For my kind of problem, he does a bit of physical therapy before adjustments, which make the experience both comfortable and more thorough than a simple adjustment.

He has a relaxed and compassionate attitude and this conveyed that he genuinely wanted to work with me to figure out and work through an ailment that I was really discouraged about.

Dr. Shadle is the BEST chiropractor in Los Angeles. He fixed a lower back issue I had, and has worked with me to relieve tension in my neck from my daily work in front of a computer. I can't recommend him enough - I've been going to him for 6 years now and look forward to every visit. Highly recommended - give him a try. And he's a great guy!

I am so glad I discovered Dr. Nathan. I originally went in hoping to alleviate some headaches, but he also did such an amazing job loosening up my neck and shoulder (yes.computer work is the bane of my existence). that I've been going back every few weeks. I always feel better after leaving! And I recently noticed I'm suddenly getting more range of motion in my left shoulder than I have in years! Highly recommend! He even takes my insurance!

Dr. Shadle rules. I want to start crying tears of joy for finally finding a DC who knows what the hell he is talking about and actually treats - specifically - the symptoms you are there to have treated. I'm a blabber-mouth and can go on and on trying to describe my symptoms and most people would need an interpreter but Dr. Shadle knew exactly what I was trying to say. He then restated, succinctly, what I needed treatment for. He is a kind, attentive and knowledgeable professional and I trust him thoroughly. Highly recommend!

My back and neck were aching from spending too many hours on the computer when I found out about Nate Shadle. My back was so out of line, I was having trouble walking. My best friend told me I needed to get to Nahtan Shadle DC for an adjustment. He was right!. Shadle is the man! He adjusted my back and with some rest over the weekend, I had 100% improvement.

No joke--this guy is a bit of a miracle worker. As for my neck, he adjusted that area and I think I need to redesign my office space to really get to 100% improvement, but I am now able to move better and without pain. If you are troubled by back pain, or other areas, I highly recommend Nathan Shadle. I should mention that he is very personable and caring, taking time to listen to his patient and try to understand what is going on. I find that a rarity in the health care profession. If I have any more problems, I'll be back to Nathan Shadle for an adjustment!

I've gone to Dr Nate for years and trust no one else when my back is out of whack. He isn't one of those chiro's who just crack to crack. He delves into the problem and gets to the root of it and prescribing a great treatment program for when you aren't in the office. I trust no one else with my chronic back problem. No one! Parking can be tight so give yourself a little time before your appointment.

I wish I could give Dr. Shadle 100 stars. I heard about him from a colleague and started visiting his practice after a car accident. I already had issues with my spine and am so incredibly happy I found him! His office is peaceful, clean and has plenty of convenient parking. Dr. Shadle is professional and knowledgeable. Since I started visiting him, my migraines have STOPPED.

He takes the time to explain things and I can actually feel the difference from when I walk into the office and when I leave. When my neck is out of alignment, he will push on a specific spot and it hurts. He adjusts me and then pushes on the same spot with no pain at all. Dr. Shadle works on celebrities, professional athletes and dancers. so, for the everyday person, he is a rockstar!

I refer everyone I know to Dr. Shadle and will continue to do so. Someone I had sent his way approached me this week and said, "OH MY GOD. Your chiropractor has CHANGED MY LIFE." It makes me so happy that I can send people to someone so incredible. I know getting adjusted can be scary to a first timer, but you are in good hands with Dr. Shadle, I can assure you. If you're on the fence about going to a chiropractor, don't settle for anyone less.

Dr. Shadle really knows his stuff. My husband and I have been going to him for several years and he is truly a miracle worker. His approach is very straightforward and he always knows exactly what to do. Luckily I go see him for prevention/maintenance mainly, but whenever I've had pain or a pinched nerve or a rib out of place, he has always fixed me up and made me feel better.

He is a real life-saver. I highly recommend him, and am always confident referring him to clients and friends because even people who are chiropractor-averse are always happy with the results, and his bedside manner. Thanks Doc!

I've been seeing Dr Shadle for a while now and couldn't be more pleased. I work on a computer all day, and cycle on a cycling team, and all that means I hold my body in weird positions. The result is tension and stiffness in my neck and shoulders, as well as strange things with my spine. Dr Shadle is really friendly, and puts up with all my endless questions about how things work and what he's doing with my body. His treatments have been totally painless and easy, which I like a lot, and best of all: my back definitely, definitely feels better. Highly recommended.
