Dr. Shortell has been our family chiropractor for over 10 years and my family are all extremely satisfied. He is very professional in the way he analyzes spinal misalignments using x-rays, range of motion tests, and physical examinations. I have been in accidents where my neck and back were affected. I had pain, regular headaches and my range of motion was restricted. Dr. Shortell was able to help me regain my range of motion and eliminate the pain and headaches. My daughter similarly had been helped with Dr. Shortell's chiropractic care after an auto accident. Also, my husband had been convinced that he would need a back operation to relieve back pain that resulted from years of servicing heavy equipment. However, after receiving chiropractic care from Dr. Shortell, he realized that going under the knife would not be necessary. Now, both my husband and I go for regular monthly checkups to maintain good back health. In addition, everyone in the office is friendly and attentive to client needs. They are very accommodating if you should need to change or reschedule an appointment.

Two months ago I had intense lower back pain, spasms, and sciatica running down my left leg. One day it was so bad I could not go to work. I went to see an orthopaedic surgeon in Westbrook who then referred to me to Dr. Shortell. He told me that he had referred other patients to him and that he was very good. Dr. Shortell took X-rays, did a thorough exam, analyzed my MRI, then explained that I had Lumbar Hyperlordosis, 2 herniated and degenerated disks, one twisted lumbar, and arthritis. He prescribed a set of exercises, and regularly/gently adjusted my spine 3 times per week for 6 weeks. They also did electrotherapy. Now my back pain is almost completely gone! Unlike primary care physicians, who just treat symptoms, Dr. Shortell treats the core structural problems. He is very knowledgeable.

While I was once a skeptic of chiropractic care, Dr. Shortell has proven to me that indeed it works. I came to him with a long list of cumulative traumas to my neck, spine and just about every joint in my body; far too many for them all to be operated on. With his knowledge, experience and good sound advice, he has greatly improved my prognosis and steered me toward the path of recovery. Each time I walk through the door at Cromwell Chiropractic Center I am warmly greeted by a wonderful, caring staff that always makes me look forward to my next appointment. I would strongly recommend Cromwell Chiropractic Center to all.

I have referred several people to Dr. Shortell. He is an excellent provider and always knows who you are and what your indiviual concerns are. On more than one occasion he has gone above and beyond the call of duty to treat me. What doctor provides his patients with his personal cell phone number? Dr. Shortell does! Thank you so much for being so caring and for helping alleviate a lifetime of back pain!

David O. - Cromwell

I was suffering for 10 days with lower back pain and had seen my regular Dr. and taken his meds with no noticeable results and my son recommended I see Dr. Shortell. I was seen that day and after a 30 min. visit, I was able to walk & sit, much more comfortably, got a good night's sleep and have since, come back to normal, comfortable, painless use of my body. Maybe now I’ll be a better golfer!!

Sairah S. - Cromwell

Dr Shortell is amazing! His staff is absolutely wonderful. The atmosphere is always bright and comfortable, and the Dr's work is what keeps me mobile! Can't imagine my life without them!

Carol S. - East Berlin

Dr. Shortell takes the extra time to get to know his patients. He sometimes knows when something is bothering me before I even recognize it. He will mention it and I will realize that, yes, this has been bothering me. I have always had a positive experience, not only with Dr. Shortell, but with his staff. They are helpful, congenial, and a delight to be around. I do recommend Dr. Shortell to friends and family. I think he is wonderful!

Carolyn S. - Middletown

I originally came in when I awoke on a Saturday morning, I was in a great deal of back pain, and, in desperation, called several area chiropractors. I left a message for Dr. Shortell. He called me back - within minutes - and invited me to meet him at his office. Such a compassionate man. In fact, after 9/11 he volunteered his time in NYC to treat the first responders as they left Ground Zero. For the past several years I've been seeing him every two months for a “tune-up”! I trust his knowledge and suggestions for treatment. His staff is also professional and welcoming to me.

Patricia B. - Vernon

I was always skeptical about chiropractic care until I started treating with Dr Shortell. Absolutely amazed with how much it has helped! Would definitely recommend Dr. Shortell.

Jean F. - Durham

I have been going to Dr.Shortell, for many years now, with back and neck problems due to severe arthritis and I can say he has helped me immensely. You never feel rushed at your visit and Dr. Shortell takes the time to answer any questions you may have. Also his office staff is the best, all work together to help the patients feel comfortable and important. I would highly recommend Dr. Shortell.

Susan A. - Cromwell

I have been coming to see Dr. Shortell intermittently for the past 17 years and would not entrust my spine to anyone else! He is very knowledgeable and skilled, using multiple treatment techniques to achieve efficacy. I have also brought one of my sons and referred many friends because I am 100% confident in Dr. Shortell and chiropractic care. The staff is also very friendly and accommodating.

Rebecca A. - Middletown

I've been going to Cromwell Chiropractic for 14 years. They always take great care of me & have me in & out without the long waits. He always helps my back along with lots of other ailments. :)

Wendy R. - Cromwell

I have been seeing Dr. Rob and his staff for over 15 years. He has helped me and my family with our back problems with professional and compassionate treatments. I can't say enough of how much we appreciate him. I went for back pain and sinus problems. Over the years I have not had as many sinus infections as when I started. Thank you Dr. Rob.

Dianne A. - Enfield

Cromwell Chiropractic Center continues to provide professional and compassionate care. And the results have been outstanding with significant improvement to my flexibility and range of motion. I would highly recommend Dr Shortell to anyone who is experiencing pain or limited range of motion. The treatments available can make a world of difference in your quality of life!

Daniel H. - Middletown

I have been using Dr. Shortell for many years now. I find his practice really works for me. I appreciate that the practice realizes that it's not just treatment of the spine they need to be aware of, but rather the patient as a whole. Dr. Shortell's charity work locally for children and families is a great example of the type of business he runs too. Keep up the great work! There is no other place to go. Great service and a Dr. that cares about his patients beyond their spine!

John C. - Middletown

I had been in pain for decades, and was very skeptical about going to my first appointment. Not only did everyone in the office genuinely care about my (and everyone else's) well being, it was one of the best things I have ever done in my life.

Louis R. - Meriden

Dr. Shortell is an amazing practitioner. With expertise and compassion for his patients, he will help you regain your health without drugs. I recommend Dr. Shortell for people of all ages with physical challenges as well as the very young for a better start in life. The staff is very helpful and pleasant with their patients.

Mark D. - Enfield

I look forward to my visits. Provides well needed relief. Dr Shortell is extremely knowledgeable about the spine in more ways than any other chiropractor I've been to.

After my first visit, I appreciate the time you spent explaining the details of my condition. It was way more informative than the attention I received from the specialists I've seen. Hopefully you can help me improve my health.

Ann S. - Berlin

Dr. Shortell has worked with my children and myself to target our needs. He has kept both of my children active in their sports because of his excellent care. I recommend him all the time to other families we know.

I have recommended Cromwell Chiropractic already to more than a few people. Doctor Shortell has done a lot to help me with my many issues which he diagnosed and treated expertly. I will continue to recommend Cromwell Chiropractic every chance I get.

Albertina B. - Middletown

I feel truly blessed to have found a practice as caring and concerned about my health as Cromwell Chiropractic Center, LLC. Dr. Shortell and his co-workers are very passionate about providing care to their clients.

Nancy T. - Meriden

My visit on Monday, July 8th, was not my regular adjustment visit. I had done something to my ankle over the weekend. I called the office they were able to schedule me that afternoon and Dr. Shortell was able to readjust my knee and ankle so that the pain I had been experiencing over the weekend was almost completely gone. I greatly appreciate the effort put forth by the office staff in getting me seen as soon as possible and Dr. Shortell for his medical care. I wish that all my other doctors were more like Cromwell Chriopractic Center in providing their patients with care.

Susan D. - Cromwell

Our entire family has been to the Cromwell Chiropractic Center for one reason or another. Recently I took my son for his appointment and while I was sitting in the waiting area I was coughing quite a bit (getting over a chest cold). After my son was done with his appointment Dr. Shortell came out and asked if that was me who was coughing. I told him "Yes" and he said that he could help me. He told me that he could get rid of that constant tickling I felt in my throat which triggered the cough attached and get my lungs to open up and heal better. I didn't have an appointment but he was kind enough to take me right away. After he did his magic the tickle in my throat was gone almost instantaneously and I can say that I haven't been coughing as badly and I am on the road to recovery. Awesome job!

Marcie C. - Portland

Excellent as always!!! My favorite doctor!

Dean M. - Middletown

Hi folks, my experience with the dr. was great, I will be back up in a few months, and will be coming to see the doc. I am back home in Florida, but will be back soon, see you then.

Darrell P. - Middletown

Great first session. The doc spent over 45 minutes just reviewing past history, needs, issues, etc. and showed true concern and knowledge. Sooo much better than what the typical PCP visit is like.

Leonard M. - Middletown

Dr. S. provides the touch that heals. His office experience is more like friendship.

Sharon P. - Wallingford

I have been suffering with a piriformis injury and the doctor I saw just prescribed painkillers which did nothing but make me spacey. Dr. Shortell spent time with me explaining the syndrome in detail and his adjustments finally gave me some relief. I have been coming to Cromwell Chiropractic for over 10 years and have definitely seen an improvement in how I feel. Not only does Dr. Shortell know you physically but also personally. He always remembers things about you and asks about your family and career.
