Dr. Nick Shelby

Lead Chiropractor/Co-Owner

My chiropractic journey started at day one! My dad and uncle are both chiropractors in Cincinnati, OH, so I've been adjusted since the day I was born. Growing up, living a holistic chiropractic lifestyle was a big part of our lives. When I was in elementary school, I started to notice that all of my friends would get sick all of the time, got headaches, struggled with allergies and so much more, but my family never had any of that. So from a young age I could tell that there was something different.

Around that same time, I started hanging out at my dad's office a lot before sports practice and my dad would always host two workshops for his patients. One would be about chiropractic and the other would be about nutrition, and I sat through those workshops over, and over, and over again. I could only hear the truth about our current healthcare system and how the human body actually works so many times before I said to myself, “Okay, I have to do something about this.”

So I decided to get my Bachelors degree in nutrition and my Doctorate in Chiropractic. I spent my freshman year at the University of Cincinnati (Go Bearcats!), and thank God I did because that’s where I met my future wife, Rachel. After that I spent the next 7 years at Life University in Marietta, GA, the largest chiropractic school in the world. While I was there, I dedicated myself to learning as much as I possibly could so that one day I could help other kids and families experience the same start to life that I was blessed with.

In 2020 Rachel and I took the next step toward that goal and opened Hope Chiropractic. Our mission is to empower your family with hope, answers, and help through neurologically-based chiropractic care.

When I’m not in the office, you can usually find me cooking, working out, or spending time with my family. Rachel and I have a 2 year old son named Elliott (you’ll see him running around the office), a giant schnauzer named Otto, and loving cat, Arlo.
