Vero Beach's Personal Chiropractor
Pain doesn’t always begin with a single dramatic injury. Sometimes, it develops gradually—after years of desk work, an old strain that never fully healed, or subtle changes in mobility that accumulate over time. At Freedom of Movement Chiropractic, Dr. Shepherd takes the time to work one-on-one with each patient, without rotating providers or rushed appointments. Her goal is to understand what is contributing to your discomfort and develop an individualized approach to your care. As a Flexion-Distraction Certified chiropractic physician with a background in nursing, Dr. Shepherd brings a thoughtful, hands-on approach to care, with close attention to the details that can make a meaningful difference in how you move and feel.

What We Treat
Care here is not limited to any one age group. Dr. Roxanne sees patients age 12 and up, from active teenagers to adults managing decades of wear on their joints.
Recovery, Prevention,
and Ongoing Support
Some patients seek care for a specific pain or discomfort that has not resolved, while others choose regular chiropractic care to help maintain mobility and address minor concerns before they become more significant. Both approaches are welcome at Freedom of Movement Chiropractic. Each treatment plan is personalized to meet your individual needs—whether you are recovering from an injury or strain, managing ongoing discomfort, or taking a proactive approach to maintaining your movement, function, and overall well-being.

Every Type of Pain
Recovery techniques are selected based on each patient’s specific areas of concern and individual needs.

Each approach is tailored to your condition, functional goals, and response to care—not a one-size-fits-all routine.

"This was my first ever time coming to Dr. Shepherd and let me just say I had a great experience! My grandma who is a receptionist at this clinic introduced me to this facility. Dr Shepherd was so amazing to work with she was very informing on the whole process, and she cracked my neck and back so good! I was in so much pain and when she was done, I didn’t feel no pain at all. I am not from the state of Florida, but I will definitely be going to Dr. Shepherd's facility when I visit Florida again."
"I am so happy they opened an office so close to where I live! The place is just beautiful and relaxing. I have had the pleasure of adjustments that has made my quality of life so much better! Especially Dr Shepherd. Pricing options are the best for chronic care especially if you have no insurance coverage.
I highly recommend this office! Thank you to the entire staff!
Update: Updating my progess making strides for longer periods between adjustments thanks to Dr Shepherd. She listens to you and works with specific needs! I am very happy with my progress!"
"I love Dr. Shepherd and her thoroughness! The individual attention she gave me as a new client was great! I felt 💯% better after my brief encounter, I was able to lift my knees something I have not done in months after being adjusted! 😁😁😁 I am definitely coming back!! This will now be an investment for me to get back on a good foot to recovery from pain!"
"I was hit at a red light and couldn't move my neck. They got me in the next day. Within 3 weeks I was back at work. I can't imagine going to four different doctors."
Jennifer M.Car Accident | Whiplash
"My back pain was getting worse even after seeing a chiropractor alone. When I added physical therapy here, everything changed. The team knew exactly how to work together."
David T.MVA | Lower Back Injury
"Everyone said I should get an attorney before starting treatment. They said I could start right away, and they connected me with a lawyer when I was ready. Best advice ever."
Sarah L.Auto Accident | Multi-Injury
"From the moment I walked in, they made me feel like I mattered. The doctors and therapists communicated constantly about my care plan. I healed faster than I ever expected."
