Shannon and Forrest are both amazing! I love coming in for a massage and then adjustment right afterwards. When I first started coming I was in acute pain. After just a few treatments I felt noticeably better! Shannon has the gift of healing through touch. Forrest is quick and effective. Highly recommend them both!

When the previous owner of Ashton Chiropractic, Darah Ashton, announced she was leaving it was hard to imagine trusting someone at the same level with my chiropractic care needs, but then, I was introduced to new owner Forrest Redwood, DC.
Beyond offering chiropractic adjustments needed to address pain from old injuries in a calming manner, Dr. Redwood has used new techniques to address these and other problem areas since his arrival. Dr. Redwood is teaching me, now living in an aged body, how to prevent new injuries and address chronic issues in new ways. What is equally important to me, as someone who worked in older adult care management for several decades, is Dr. Redwood’s practice manner. He is not only an extraordinary provider but someone who listens to concerns and challenges related to aging.

I first met Dr. Redwood just after my sister died. I was a mess. My body was processing the emotions that my mind and heart could hardly keep up with. I found so much support in integrating that huge change and grief. It’s made this process easier. The whole team from the front desk to help with billing has been wonderful – thank you again and again.

I appreciate the staff’s proactive steps for appointments – I get calls. As well, I appreciate Shannon for encouraging me to do a review. I brought up how I enjoy the human approach Calm has. The care from Dr. Redwood and Shannon has been clear and concise and my pain levels decrease each visit with manageable tools and exercises to help the healing. They clearly communicate how my medical coverages work. No other office to date has been so pro-active like calm has been from staff reception to massage and chiropractor. Thank you for making it so clear and concise.

There are massage therapists, then there are healers. Shannon, is a healer.
Walking into the clinic, my main focus was on chronic shoulder pain—which had further exasperated, due to persistent scapular winging.
I previously had sought out treatments from various modalities including: chiropractics, massage therapy, acupuncture and even entered into physical therapy. Needless to say, I accepted I had a long journey ahead to remission.
To my delight the combination of Forrest’s chiropractic work and Shannon’s massage treatment addressed the involved muscular, skeletal overlap. The approach taken during my massage in particular was notably knowledgeable, extensive, activating and relieving. With special attention being paid to the underlying muscles which were preventing scapular relaxation.
I have since had additional sessions with Shannon, focusing on various parts of my anatomy and can confidently advocate for her as a standout in the profession.
In hopes that you may too find the relief I received, I gladly share my story.

Great therapeutic message and chiropractic care. Friendly staff and usually able to fit me in when needed. Highly recommend Calm Chiropractic for your self care needs!

I was a patient of Darah Ashton for nearly twenty years. Her work was excellent, but the quality of care I am receiving at Calm Chiropractic has not missed a beat. Forrest combines old and new treatment methods at each visit, helping me manage chronic issues. I have also appreciated subtle changes to the clinic’s environment.

I can’t say enough great things about Dr Forrest Redwood. He has helped me through some challenging injuries as well as reducing chronic issues that I’ve had for years or even decades. He often sends me home with easy self care supportive exercises which have helped to expedite recovery and reduce recurrence of issues that used to flare up often.
I love that he is both a hands on chiropractor and also uses an activator or other methods when needed. He always preps my back before making any adjustments. He does this through the use of heat, E-stim, and through this fancy hydraulic adjustment table that I can’t explain because I haven’t experienced it anywhere else, but it helps by subtly stretching and relaxing the lower back when it is really clenched up. In essence, he takes the time to reduce the muscular issues before making the adjustments so they will be easier to adjust then will actually stick.
He takes the time to help me understand how an injury occurred when asked, explaining how the muscles and joints come together in the body, using diagrams and/or props, which has helped me to reduce future injury as well as how to support and improve that joint or muscle through that knowledge.
I should also add that even though our appointments are quick, Dr Redwood always finds time to connect with me as a human. He remembers past conversations and follows up with genuine connection.
I love their online booking system (it’s so easy!) and how quick and easy the check in and check out process is. I love everything about Calm Chiropractic and Wellness and encourage you to give them a try!
