Extremely skilled chiropractor with a friendly demeanor and atmosphere! Have been seeing Dr. Craig for about a year- and it was one of the best recommendations I have been given. One of the things I appreciate most about this facility - it's not one of those chiropractor offices who tries to sell you on supplements and other unnecessary treatments. He is 100% about the care of the patient. Highly recommend.

Dr. Shannon has given me with exceptional care as well as providing me with exercises and stretches needed to keep me healthy. After struggling for years after a car accident, I am finally finding relief from neck and back pain. Wonderful office and easy appointment scheduling. I highly recommend Shannon Chiropractic.

Shannon Chiropractic ROCKS! They evaluated me without X-RAYs and adjusted me for $40 all in my first visit. I have been to several different chiropractors around the Seacoast of NH and Shannon Chiro is who I would recommend

I've seen a number of chiropractor's and I am the happiest with this clinic. I know that Dr. Shannon will adjust everything - not just pick one spot. He is thorough and effective! He is professional and pleasant, as well as is the front desk help. Plus an awesome orthopedic massage therapist works in his office: Scott Corliss.

Great doctor! Dr. Craig has a great approach to patient care. I started as a patient a little more than a month ago suffering from severe hip, shoulder and neck pain. His results have been amazing - he has even given me relief from TMJ pain I've suffered through for years! Most definitely recommend this practice! His is the only doctors appointment I've ever looked forward to!

Dr. Craig is really great and I have been seeing him for around a year. He has a great approach of using adjustments but also giving you knowledge about good stretching and massage work to help progress improvement. I highly recommend Shannon Chiropractic to anyone that is seeking Chiropractic help.

I started seeing Dr. Craig a few months ago from a referral. With a love for sports and an active lifestyle, I began experiencing some lower back pain/tightness and some discomfort in my feet. In the past I've seen a couple different chiropractors with mixed results. However, the reduction in pain in both my back and feet has been the most dramatic science seeing Dr. Craig. What sets my experiences with Dr. Craig apart from others are twofold; First, is his "total body" approach where he says that "everything is systemic and interrelated" and his knowledge of sports specific physiology and afflictions.
Both of these elements seem to allow him to more accurately diagnose ailments and to customize treatment regimens for optimal results. On top of my adjustments, Dr. Craig has shared some additional stretching and exercising techniques to help develop overall strength and mobility in my afflicted areas. For anyone who enjoys being active and pain free or needs guidance on a sports related vexation, I strongly suggest going to see Dr. Craig.

I had a great experience at Shannon Chiropractic Clinic. The doctor was really knowledgeable and friendly and made me feel relaxed. I get tightness in my lower back and occasional discomfort by my right shoulder blade. Dr. Craig totally "straightened" me out! I've been adjusted in the past, but have always felt pressured by a doctor "selling" chiropractic, but that wasn't the case here. I definitely feel comfortable to return in the future. Thanks a lot!

Dr. Craig has helped all my aches and pains go away! I started going to him because of a hurting shoulder, hips, and other parts that felt very sore. After a few short months I feel so much better and my day to day life is pain free. I will continue to go for follow ups to keep my body in whack! Strongly recommend Dr. Craig

I have had a great experience with Shannon Chiropractic. The location is so convenient that I can fit quick appointments into my work day. Dr. Craig is very knowledgable and recommends easy, complimentary exercises to do at home. From my first visit everyone was very friendly, helpful and not pushy. Highly recommend.

I went in to Dr Shannon suffering from hip, neck and shoulder pain a little more than a month ago - to say he has helped wouldn't even come close to describing what he has done for me. I am now rid of my daily pain, my posture has never been better AND my jaw pain from TMJ is gone! His approach to patient care is very calming and his results truly speak for themselves. Highly recommend!!

Dr. Shannon is amazing, truly. He treated our family with 3 young boys for years, kept us healthy and adjusted! We would still go to him if we were in the same state. Highly recommend. He is a great guy on top being an amazing Doctor.
