Who am I and what do i do?

My name is Dr. Shayla Lobdell. I was born in Montana and grew up in Gunnison. I’ve always loved Colorado and love it even more now that I’m back. I graduated in 2018 from Life University in Marietta, GA with my doctorate in chiropractic. Why the heck did I go clear across the country to go to chiropractic school? Life U was unique in that they thrive on the philosophy of vitalism (vi·tal·ism: the theory that the origin and phenomena of life are dependent on a force or principle distinct from purely chemical or physical forces.) WHAT?? To put it simply; the body has its own intelligence that we can’t measure or see, what some will call ‘innate’. Chiropractic philosophy says “what ever is created by the body can be healed by the body”. I believe this profoundly! I believe that the body is smart enough to function properly on its own without interference. This is why I became a ‘care’ giver.

Dr. Lobdell started out as an EMT wanting to go to school to be a cardiac surgeon. After working in the medical field for 9 years Dr. Lobdell decided that was not how she wanted to help people. She decided to take a more ‘alternative’ approach to health and got her license in massage therapy. After 5 years Dr. Lobdell realized that she NEEDED more. So, chiropractic was the way to go. Dr. Lobdell learned what most chiropractors in other school learned when it came to techniques; Full spine diversified, Thompson drop technique, SOT, Toggle Recoil, Activator, Cox Flexion-Distraction, Pediatric adjusting, and Webster’s. It wasn’t until she started seeing patients that she realized there is so much more to health than just the physical aspect. Dr. Lobdell centers her practice around the whole person: mental, physical and emotional. Dr. Lobdell’s main goal is to help reconnect each person back to who and what they are as a being so they can live life in balance and optimal health.
