About Dr. Mercedes Shields
Dr. Mercedes Shields is a chiropractor with a passion for helping people move better, function better, and feel confident in their bodies. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Kinesiology (Honours) from Western University and earned her Doctor of Chiropractic from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College, where she graduated Summa Cum Laude.
Growing up playing competitive hockey gave Dr. Mercedes an early appreciation for how important it is to feel strong, capable, and confident in your body. Today, she continues to prioritize movement through strength training and running. These experiences have shaped her belief that movement plays an important role in both physical and mental well-being, and that healthcare should help people continue doing the things they love.
Dr. Mercedes has a special interest in treating neck pain, headaches, and TMJ dysfunction, with an emphasis on understanding the many factors that can contribute to these conditions. Her approach combines hands-on care, chiropractic adjustments, acupuncture, rehabilitation, and patient education, with treatment tailored to each patient’s individual needs, preferences, and goals.
While she has a special interest in helping people manage pain and dysfunction, Dr. Mercedes also enjoys working with individuals who want to be proactive about their health, optimize how they move and function, and maintain their ability to do the things they love. She believes that chiropractic care can be valuable not only when something hurts, but also as part of a broader approach to movement, health, and well-being.
She believes the best care is collaborative and empowering. Her goal is not only to help patients feel better, but to help them understand their bodies, build confidence in their movement, and take an active role in their long-term health.
Outside of the clinic, Dr. Mercedes can usually be found exercising, training for her next half marathon, soaking up the sun, and trying every dessert on the menu!
