Training with Experts in the Field
Dr. Shelly attended Life University in Marietta, Georgia, graduating in 1985. While in school, she had the experience of learning and working with leaders in the profession. Dr. Larry Webster, developer of the Webster Technique, was her supervising doctor while an intern at the Luckie Street Clinic. She also met and studied with Dr. J. Clay Thompson, founder and developer of the specialized adjusting tables and technique she currently uses. Returning home to Poplar Bluff, Missouri, she continued to learn from local masters and mentors Dr. Sam Mickey and Dr. Ralph Ungerank. She built a family practice in Missouri until 1990, when she moved to Columbia, South Carolina.
While in South Carolina, Dr. Shelly has had a variety of experiences in the chiropractic field.
