Shephard Health
Calgary, AB, Canada 
I’ve been going to Shepherd Health since January 2025 and I’ve had nothing positive results. I’ve had injuries that I thought would not be fixed without surgery. Dr. Jayson Shephard is a miracle worker. My Achilles were so bad that I could barely walk. I can finally work again without being in excruciating pain. This is just one of the many fixes he’s done for me already.
His entire team staff are knowledgeable, professional and genuine. Friendly and considerate to make appointments work for you. Highly recommend this place.
Shephard Health is by far the best chiropractic clinic I’ve ever been to. From the moment you walk in, the entire team makes you feel welcomed and genuinely cared for. Every appointment feels effortless. What truly sets them apart is how much time they take to make sure you feel heard. They listen carefully to your concerns, explain everything thoroughly, and tailor the treatment to exactly what you need. Both Dr. Sam and Dr. Jay are incredibly knowledgeable and attentive, and they've helped me get back to feeling like myself more times than I can count. I always leave feeling better, and know I’m in such good hands.
I’ve been seeing Dr. Shepherd for over 10 years, through 2 pregnancies, knee, back & shoulder sport injuries.
Any time I’m in pain he sees me immediately and I get the relief I need.
I can't say enough great things about Shephard Health! After pulling my Achilles, I spent a month in physio with little progress. But once I started treatment here, everything changed—within just two months, I was back on the track training!
Dr. Jay Shephard was also able to identify and treat issues I had struggled with for years, and now I’m not just back to training—I’m better than before!
The clinic has such a positive and welcoming atmosphere. The staff are incredibly kind, accommodating, and always greet you with a smile. You can tell they genuinely care about their patients’ health and well-being. Dr. Jay Shephard and the entire team are amazing at what they do. If you're looking for a clinic that prioritizes your recovery and makes you feel at home, this is the place to go!
After years of struggling with chronic back pain, finding Shephard Health has felt like a true blessing. From my very first appointment, I was met with warmth and a level of care that went beyond my expectations. Dr. Jay Shephard is not only highly skilled but also genuinely compassionate. He took the time to listen to my concerns and, after years of consultations with other professionals, he provided the first clear explanation for my pain along with effective treatment options. I'm so grateful to have found a clinic that truly prioritizes patient well-being and offers such personalized care. I highly recommend their services to anyone dealing with the frustrations of chronic pain.
