Fantastic experience: Am really happy with my service/treatment. My first appt was very thorough and I was informed from the start about what chiropractic treatment is about as well as understanding what that meant for me. And have had relief from some of my key issues. Shelley explains everything clearly and concisely. Really lovely environment/space. Easy access and parking. Would definitely highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I am currently visiting Feelgood Chiropractic for acute lower back pain. After the first visit I knew I had made the right choice. I found the consultation thorough, and very informative. I have visted chiropractors in the past but found Shelleys methods to be more beneficial than any treatment I have received previously. I highly recommend Shelley.
Fantastic experience: Shelley was very thorough in her work and makes you feel very comfortable. I would highly recommend her.
Fantastic experience: Excellent chiropractor! I have been seeing Shelley for sometime now and can honestly say, I wish I had started seeing her sooner. Easy to communicate with, considerate, and genuinely cares about the wellbeing of her clients. She has invested in her lovely home studio and it definitely shows. The space is private, welcoming and easy to find. I couldn't recommend her enough!
Fantastic experience: Shelley Was very thorough and eased a lot of tensions through my shoulders & neck. Her softer treatment is different to what I’m used to but worked very well. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I have only been a patient of Dr Shelley's for about 4 weeks now and the improvement is significant! On my first visit with back pain and limited mobility from a recent fall, Shelley listened, assessed, asked questions and did some gentle adjustments and I came away with significantly less pain and much more mobile than when I arrived. She also organised X-rays to see any skeletal issues I have, and we are now working on addressing these issues. I am now pain free and we're working on the other problem areas identified from our first visit Shelley's chiropractic approach is a huge plus as her techniques are gentle but very much effective. Shelley is friendly, calm, professional and when sharing her knowledge on identified problem areas, our treatment plan and during treatment sessions, she explains in the simplest terms, and we have a clear idea of what she is doing and why. Thank you Shelley! I highly recommend FeelGood Chiropractic.
Fantastic experience: I first saw Shelley on the same day I needed her for an emergency appointment and she has been available and helpful ever since. She works holistically and explains the process well. I feel as though I am in good hands with her care and expertise.
Fantastic experience: So glad I found Shelley, she has been so helpful. Super personable. Much prefer her approach compared to other approach’s I’ve tried. I’ve been to. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Shelley is knowledgeable, skilled, and professional. Her techniques are gentle but effective, and I have noticed a massive difference in my back, neck, hips, and general wellbeing.
Positive experience: Hurt my lower back but the experience of going to this chiropractor has been great. At first didn't think much off the experience, but after a few visits I noticed my body improving.
Fantastic experience: Very thorough during the consultation ensuring I fully understand her clinical diagnosis which were actually quite accurate to my symptoms. Went in with shoulder pain enabling me to sleep. After the first appointment I slept like a baby without waking up. A hip irritation was highlighted also that I hadn't realized before. Went back for a second appointment and excellent again. Drove 3 hours just to see Shelley. Wish I lived closer to complete my treatment plan :( will definitely call in whenever I travel past. Thankful!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Shelley at FeelGood Chiropractic. I have been seeing Shelley with some sinus issues and have noticed a huge difference to how my head feels. Over several visits my head feels clearer, face not achey at all and just generally feeling like I have a lot more energy. I will continue to see Shelley on a maintenance basis as I don't want to feel congested like I was when I first started to work with Shelley. Thank you Shelley ... Feeling amazing ... Nicola Hines
Fantastic experience: I injured my back recently thinking I was thirty years younger than I am and Shelley has got me back to being able to work and play better. I really appreciated the
Fantastic experience: Shelley , has a great manner about her, and has sorted my backache . as an added bonus with continuing regular treatments the pain from my bunions has been greatly reduced too !
Fantastic experience: Really helped with my back pain, noticed a hug difference after just two sessions. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I was really impressed with Shelley’s knowledge and was really happy with the gentle techniques she used, my two children were also lucky enough to have Shelley work on them and the care she took with them really stood out. We all came away feeling much better and more energised. I’ll definitely be back!
Fantastic experience: Great service Shelley is so friendly, I felt relief after just 2 sessions and I’m loving the results so far, very gentle approach.
Fantastic experience: Shelley is amazing! Oh goodness, I felt immediate relief after our first appt when I left her office and was driving home. I probably didn't realise it but there must have been tension around my neck and head area for a long period of time and I just thought it was normal. Once I was adjusted, I noticed straight away that the pain was gone. I have been treated for headaches and migraines all my life using different specialists and doctors but the relief has only ever been temporary or not quite hit the exact spot for the pain. So thank you for all your help! Shelley is professional, knowledgeable and would definitely recommend her to friends and family.
Fantastic experience: Shelley is the first chiropractor I’ve seen, and I’m blown away! After just two sessions, my pain has eased, my back and hips feel freer, and my headaches are gone. I’m feeling good! Her clinic is in a super convenient spot—close to schools, with plenty of roadside and offsite parking. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I have recently been treated by Shelley following a bit of back pain, and have found her to be very professional and excellent at her job. Following the initial treatment my pain was gone, I now sleep better and certainly feel like I'm walking taller. If you have back or neck pain, I suggest booking with Shelley for an appointment, you won't regret it.
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Shelley for the past two weeks and I am amazed at how my body overall is feeling much better. Shelley is a caring and very informative person who is excellent at her job. Wish I had known her years ago.
Fantastic experience: April 2025 - I'm so happy that Shelley, Feelgood Chiropractic, has moved to Hamilton. I had Covid in November last year and took several weeks to recover. My back was very sore following this. Shelley worked with me over the Christmas break. My recovery was relatively quick and the treatments were painless. Since she moved to Hamilton I have been able to have a weekly adjustment which is making a huge difference to my general wellbeing. I wholeheartedly recommend Shelley to everyone. Shelley, Ellerslie Chiropractic, has been my chiropractor for several years. She is professional and friendly. She explains what she is doing and answers all my questions well. I particularly like the gentle techniques she uses. There is no cracking, which is a relief! Shelley has helped me with several different types of pain. I'm very happy to refer her to my friends and family.
Fantastic experience: Shelley has looked after our family of five since we came home to NZ in 2013. Our children were resistant to the more traditional system of crunching and wrenching and Shelley’s gentle techniques were a winning combo. Shelley is consistent with her care and curious with her adjusting. Her gardens are a gorgeous environment to visit and relax in. Importantly too, she never keeps you waiting because she is meticulously on time. Always. Thank you from all of us Shelley.
Fantastic experience: Shelley is an excellent chiropractor with a lovely smile and character. Had a severe back pain and she healed it just after 4-5 sessions. Definitely recommended!
Fantastic experience: I found Shelley online after 40+ years of hip and neck pain. I wish I had found her sooner. But I am very pleased to have found her now. After a thorough first consultation and just two treatments, I felt total relief from my hip and neck pain. It feels surreal to say the least to experience the melting away of so many long-standing symptoms. I am highly grateful for Shelley's methodical approach, her clear expertise in this area and the way she listens and responds to what I describe to her about my body. Thank you Shelley. You are highly recommended by me. Kim Silcock
Fantastic experience: I can’t believe I found Shelley. I have been in pain for so long but was too scared due to the idea of any “ bone popping “. No bone popping in sight. Shelley was so gentle and made sure I was comfortable at all times. I left feeling amazing, no word of a lie. I can’t wait to keep seeing Shelley on my health journey. Couldn’t wish for anyone better. Highly recommended, Shelly is so knowledgeable and experienced. Don’t be like me, if you’re in pain, don’t procrastinate and book ASAP.
Fantastic experience: I already feel like I'm feeling the benefits after one session, Shelley is lovely and great at explaining all the things involved. I would happily recommend to anyone struggling with back pain like myself.
Fantastic experience: Totally recommend Shelley for any chiropractor needs. I had a completely locked up back and she managed to release it in a couple of treatments. And great to visit for maintaining back and body alignment. Lovely manner and very professional.
Fantastic experience: I got recommended Shelley by a friend, I had piercing neck pain and a bad lower back and within only a couple of weeks I was feeling so much better. Shelley is gentle, kind and just a lovely human being to be around. Would definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: My husband recommended Shelley when I was in agonizing pain with my back and front of my thighs that hindered me from walking/standing or sitting on a chair for 3 weeks prior to signing up with Ellerslie Chiropractor. However, I felt it would take weeks to get back to some normality but in less than 2 weeks of attending my appointments I'm in better shape now and there's no more pain!. My treatments were very effective during the process. I HIGHLY recommend Shelley @Ellerslie Chiropractor to my family, friends and work colleagues!! ❤️.
Fantastic experience: I first visited Shelley when I was suffering with bilateral frozen shoulders. What I value most about Shelley is her holistic approach, professionalism, knowledge and kindness which not only has very successfully treated my shoulders, but also made me feel understood and valued as a client. I now visit Shelley regularly as a vital part of my overall health regimen, and cannot recommend her highly enough.
Fantastic experience: I had a recent injury to my neck/shoulders and was in immense pain. Shelley organized an appointment within hours of me calling her and sorted out ACC coverage for me. Within three sessions I felt like a new person. We kept some sesaions up after to ensure i was fully healed. She is absolutely amazing at what she does and the treatment was totally pain free. I still can't get over how she managed to sort me out in such a short time period given the amount of pain I was originally In. Can't recommend her enough!
Fantastic experience: What a great chiropractor.!!! I tried other chiropractors but Shelley's methods and approach has helped me immensely. Caring and easy to talk with, very professional delivering great results.
Fantastic experience: Shelley has been fantastic at sorting out my neck issues and she is always very welcoming and a pleasure to interract with throughout the sessions. Thanks Shelley!
Fantastic experience: I was a bit apprehensive going to a chiropractor as I had never been to one before, but the moment I stepped in the door, Shelley was great and put me at ease. Shelley does a great job at explaining what she is doing and why as she moves through the adjustments. I initially booked to help with pain in my ankle and lower back as I was training for a half marathon and her adjustments have helped immensely with my training. I’d highly recommend seeing Shelley for your chiropractic needs
Fantastic experience: Fixed me up real well. Have recommended to my friends and will definitely be my port of call when I’m injured again
Fantastic experience: Over the years I have been to afew chiropractors ranging from one off adjustments to months of therapy, yet none of them have helped my back pain like Shelly. I'll admit when i first walked in i was skeptical but after the very first session where Shelly not only gave me a minor adjustment she listened to my back story and how i came to be in the situation i was in and then explained in great detail what she would do to help me, my pain went from a 9 down to 4-5. I have now been to three sessions and have very minimal pain. I rarely write reviews but i would highly recommend seeing Shelly if you are thinking of going to a chiropractor. Thank you so much Shelly and i look forward to my next session and all that follow.
Fantastic experience: Shelley is fabulous. I went to her a year ago to see if chiropractic care would help ease tightness in my neck and have been coming for regular check-ins since. I have no doubt the adjustments, while mild, allow my body and mind to function optimally.
Fantastic experience: Shelly is such a great chiropractor! She is lovely in person and very informative with her patients. I would high recommend this place to everyone!
Fantastic experience: Great chiropractic. Helped me with my back, shoulders and ankle. Definitely would recommend
Fantastic experience: Shelley is an amazing chiropractor, very friendly and easily explains the reasons of the pain, what causes it and how it can be fixed. She helped me with my locked up back. On top of that with her holistic approach she helped me to get rid of decades long pain in my lower back. In all those years I tried many things but nothing helped until now. She also helped me to lowered my anxieties from stress to minimum, my body deals with stress much better now and she also minimized the amount of migraines I am getting. I could feel the difference straight away after the first session and within a month I felt like a new person. Definitely recommend her treatment as she made a miracles with me!!
Fantastic experience: Dr Shelley Smith has been my chiropractor for the last 4 years. I have always used a chiropractor for my back/neck issues and Shelley has proved to be exceptional. She takes a holistic approach to health and listens carefully to the issues impacting on my wellness. On my first visit, Shelley organised X-rays to explore my skeletal issues and has provided treatment that enables me to be as pain free as possible, so I can enjoy my exercise. She carefully explains what is causing pain and how the treatment chosen will work. I have found Shelley professional, empathetic and a gentle and skilled practitioner. I highly recommend Dr Shelley Smith.
Fantastic experience: I was a patient of Shelley's for several years when I was severely stressed from my work as a family lawyer and had experienced some trauma. Are you looking for a practitioner who gets the mind-body connection? Because Shelley is it, in my experience. She could tell me things about what my body was storing that I was not telling myself. Shelley kept me moving, with grace and dignity. Don't pass her by without a try.
Fantastic experience: Shelley at Ellerslie Chiropractic is Fantastic! Explains everything she's doing in easy to understand terms. Been going since January and haven't felt this good in years.Thank you
Fantastic experience: A refreshing experience. We found Chiropractor Ellerslie - Dr Shelley online and her reviews prompted us to make an appointment straight away. After been in a head on car accident - we required abit of adjustment to our shoulders n back and Dr Shelley's method as well as her patience to explain her procedures were a welcomed relief. 4 weeks on after twice weekly checkups we are feeling like new again. :) Thanks Doc!
Fantastic experience: Shelley is absolutely fantastic to work with, and I would recommend her to anyone. I started going to her to see if she could treat my chronic headaches and migraines. Having never seen a chiropractor before, Shelley listened to my concerns and problem areas, and she explained the process of what she was doing during each treatment. Her friendliness and professionalism shined through during each session, and I am happy to say that the amount of headaches and migraines I’ve had since seeing Shelley has decreased significantly!
Fantastic experience: I've found Shelley's gentle chiropractic approach has made an immediate impact to improving my back pain after only a few weeks. No hard clicking, just gentle hands on the spine. Shelley has a lovely warm personality and explains everything in a simplistic manner. I would highly recommend Shelley to anyone looking for a gentle chiropractor.
Fantastic experience: Shelley has been working on me for a few weeks now and I am noticing a huge change in my pain levels and flexibility. She is gentle, calm, thorough, friendly, professional and explains in easy terms the work she is doing. I recommend Shelley if you are looking for a great chiropractor with these attributes.
Fantastic experience: I have being seeing Shelley for about 6 months for back, neck and sciatic issues. Shelley is very professional and friendly. The treatments have reduced my pain levels immensely. I enjoy her holistic approach to treatments. Always feel very relaxed and centred after a treatment. Highly recommended. Thanks Shelley.
Fantastic experience: Over the last 3 months I have gone from suffering constant migraines, neck and back pain to zero migraines, sleeping better and even noticing improvements in my posture! Shelley’s technique is definitely gentle and very effective. She explains everything carefully and her manner is friendly and open. I would not hesitate to recommend her - she has quite literally changed my life!
Fantastic experience: Shelley is the first professional I have seen that has been able to resolve my shoulder and neck pain. She really listens, does a thorough assessment and is able to go straight to the area of concern. Shelley is professional, very personable and I felt immediately comfortable in her presence. I highly recommend Shelley at Ellerslie Chiropractic.
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Shelly for about a year now and Im so thankful to her for straighten me out, excuse the pun. I have a bump at the top of my spine at the neck due to a significant curve of the spine due to bad posture, and over this past year Shelly has been working on me. Not only have i noticed it's not that prominent anymore but I'm feeling much more comfortable. I will continue to see Shelly because I'm comfortable with her and trust her knowledge and professionalism in her quaint new practice and I'm enjoying the relaxing adjustments to the point of snoozing off. I certainly sleep like a baby after an adjustment - thanks Shelly, love your work, you're amazing!
Fantastic experience: I’ve only been going to Shelly for about 3 visits so far and my back is feeling better each time, Shelly will tell you exactly what she intends to do before she does it, very gentle and accurate pressure. I would have no worries about telling others to use Shelly as there chiropractor.
Fantastic experience: Whether it be for help with an injury, aging bones or regular maintenance, I highly recommend Shelley's gentle & holistic approach to chiropractic care which has become an important part of my personal wellbeing.
