It was my first experience with the chiropractor, and I really really enjoyed it. I got so much relief. They are very caring and understanding they listen and they work on my body with great care and understanding of my issue and sincerity to give me a relief and make me feel good. I appreciate all their work.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Shelton for about six weeks now, and I honestly can’t recommend him enough. When I first walked into his office, I was dealing with pretty severe back pain, spasms, and neck pain that had been bothering me for a while. Incredibly, within just a week of treatment, I started feeling noticeably better. Each week since then, my pain has consistently decreased, and I’m genuinely impressed with the progress.

Dr. Shelton isn’t just a fantastic chiropractor—he’s also an all-around great guy. If you’re in need of chiropractic care, you really won’t find anyone better.

I have had very positive experiences at NOLA Spine. I would definitely recommend them. My back pain issue has been greatly improved. I felt better with each visit. It is easy to get an appointment and easy to adjust appointments via their interactive assistant and online! I got a much needed note for an ergonomic chair and appointments are fast and effective. Go see Dr. Rick and Dr. Rueben! They will get you feeling better!

I finally have relief! I’m a veterinary nurse. As you know or don’t know, veterinary nurses spend at least 90% of their time on our feet. Which can be very hard on your body.
I have been going to NOLA spine for approximately two months now, And the relief that I found with Dr Shelton has been life-changing!
My body, my mind, my entire well-being has changed. He is amazing.
The care I receive is very thorough and professional. He takes time to get to know you.
I don’t usually write reviews, but I believe NOLA Spine Care should get a big shout out!!!

I have been a back pain and fibromyalgia sufferer since 1985. I have done everything from spine surgery, physical therapy, steroid injections, acupuncture, and chiropractic adjustments. After an adverse experience several years ago, I stopped going to chiropractors. So, when my daughter suggested that I try NOLA Spine Care, I was skeptical but decided to give them a try. Dr. Rick Shelton, D.C., took the time to research and understand my condition and explained his procedures before starting treatment. I was pleasantly surprised to realize that his methods did not require the bone-cracking procedures that I had experienced in the past. His therapy was gentle yet effective. I felt better after the first adjustment and have realized much improvement after subsequent follow-up visits. I am a Medicare patient, but the practice offers package deals to make treatment very affordable. I recommend NOLA Spine Care and will refer family and friends who want to feel better.

I highly recommend NOLA Spine Care and Dr. Rick Shelton! I had been struggling with neck pain for over a month, and after just a few visits with Dr. Shelton, I felt a noticeable difference. He took the time to really listen to my concerns, explained everything clearly, and developed a treatment plan that worked. The staff is also professional and welcoming, and the entire experience was smooth from start to finish. I’m so grateful for the care I received—my neck pain has significantly improved, and I finally feel like myself again!

My first visit to Nola Spine was in late September. I could barley walk. I got an appointment fairly quick. There are two doctors there, Dr. Carter had the earliest appointment so I chose him and he did not disappoint. At my first visit, he didn't give me the standard chiropractor talk, instead he did a full orthopedic exam. That was painful for me, but very helpful for Dr. Carter. That was when I knew I was in good hands. After the initial examine, Dr. Carter sent me a four page report on my condition which I iwas able to read and understand. Also attached to that report were exercises and recommendations that would make everyday activities and my life easier and less painful. Dr. Carter and Nola Spine is about the patient and helping them get better. It's suggested you do an initial five visit plan. I did and by third visit, I was no longer walking with a cane. By my fifth visit, I was over the moon with joy. I've walked bent over and in pain for the last 3-4 years. I am now standing and walking upright.Dr. Carter dosen't just adjust you, he's a chiropractor therapist. His treatment is geared to your specific diagnosis. I'm a new person now. My life is better and I owe it all to Dr.Carter at Nola Spine. Check them out, I promise, you won't regret it. They have me as a lifelong patient. And to think, I almost considered back surgery, that's how bad the pain was.

At the risk of being redundant, five stars! Love NOLA Spine Care -- they've helped me with some serious back issues, and also gave me very useful exercises to do in between sessions.

I won’t lie, I was someone who had always considered chiropractics a special sort of flim-flam. Until I pinched a nerve in my back and had trouble sitting, standing and walking. I asked friends for recommendations and four separate people pointed me to Dr. Carter. My first visit was just over a month ago, I had six visits total, and yesterday I made a personal record in a 30 mile bike race. And even today I am pain free. Can’t recommend enough.
