About Neck and Back Pain Relief Center

Our Mission: Fast Relief, Real Listening

smiling mom with kid in lap sitting in chairOur purpose is simple: help you feel better fast and get you back to the activities you love. Dr. Shannon Herr listens first, explains every step, and starts care as soon as it’s safe—often on your first visit. Short waits, same-day appointments, and walk-ins make it easy to get help. You’ll be treated like a person, not a number, from the moment Suzanne Walker greets you.

A Local Story, Decades of Experience

Dr. Herr’s path started at age 12, when a whiplash from a roller coaster caused severe neck and back pain. Chiropractic care resolved it in two weeks, and that experience led him to Palmer College and into practice in 2001. After years as an associate in Williamsville, he opened his own office to offer patient-first care with less hassle. Patients stick with him—many for 10+ years—and the team’s community spirit shows, from friendly hellos to veggies from Dr. Herr’s garden. You may also meet Roger Zimmerman, Elizabeth A. Schichtel, LMT, and Lisa Benson, MD.

How We Care: Gentle Options, Clear Steps

Dr. Herr blends the Palmer package with diversified and Thompson (drop-table) adjustments, and he’s certified in Activator Methods for a gentle, instrument-assisted option. Flexion-distraction is used to comfortably “stretch” and prep the spine, and care may include cold laser therapy, trigger point work, stretching, and simple nutrition tips. He sees all ages, explains in plain language, and respects your comfort. If X-rays are needed, he refers to trusted imaging partners.

Easy Access in Williamsville

Our office is near Stumpfs Gymnastics Center on Wehrle Drive, close to the Erie Community College campus, with free parking and nearby buses. See our current hours on the Contact page. Paperwork takes about 10 minutes, and we accept most insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid, plus HSA/FSA. Current patients are often seen within the hour, and follow-ups are quick. One memorable result: a man in his 60s arrived bent forward with severe sciatica; after six weeks, his pain was gone and he was back to daily life.
