Santa Fe, New Mexico

Chiropractor in Santa Fe, New Mexico

Gentle, instrument-assisted chiropractic inside a functional-medicine practice — on Cerro Gordo Road, minutes from the Plaza. Dr. Patricia Sheppard has spent more than thirty years finding what is actually driving back pain, headaches, fatigue and allergies, and correcting it at the cause.

Why Patients Come Here

A Santa Fe practice that asks why


Most chiropractic offices treat the joint in front of them. This one examines the joint, then asks what has been keeping it from holding — a nutrient the body cannot absorb, a food it reacts to, a metabolic load it has been carrying for years.

That is why structural care, applied kinesiology, clinical nutrition and functional testing all happen under one roof rather than across three referrals.

  • Gentle instrument adjusting — no twisting, no cracking
  • A full hour with the doctor at your first visit
  • Licensed in New Mexico and California; Palmer College West graduate
  • No referral needed — chiropractic is direct-access care in NM

Santa Fe Questions

Before you book


Where is your Santa Fe chiropractic office?

1330 Cerro Gordo Road, Unit A2, Santa Fe, NM 87501 — northeast of the Plaza, a few minutes from downtown, Canyon Road and the Historic Eastside.

What are your Santa Fe office hours?

Monday through Thursday, 10am to 4pm. Other times are available by appointment — call (415) 332-0621 or email the office.

Do you take new patients in Santa Fe?

Yes. No referral is needed — chiropractic is direct-access care in New Mexico. Call (415) 332-0621 to book.

What makes this different from other Santa Fe chiropractors?

Two things. The adjusting is instrument-assisted and gentle — no twisting or cracking. And the structural work sits inside a functional-medicine practice, so nutrition, allergies, detoxification and hormones are examined as part of the same picture rather than referred out.

Do you offer applied kinesiology in Santa Fe?

Yes. Dr. Sheppard has advanced training in applied kinesiology and uses manual muscle testing as part of the examination. More about applied kinesiology.
