Dr. G specializes in identifying areas of the body that are not communicating effectively with the brain—disruptions that can silently impact performance, pain, and overall well-being. By restoring this vital brain-body connection, he lays the foundation for lasting health. He teaches his patients that the brain is an adaptation machine—and that many chronic symptoms stem from its inability to adapt to physical, emotional, or environmental stress. Through targeted care, Dr. G helps athletes, professionals, and families achieve peak function and resilience—so they can do what they love with greater ease, clarity, and longevity.

Dr. G is deeply committed to continual learning and clinical mastery. He had the rare opportunity to train directly under Dr. Stanford Pierce, founder of the Advanced Orthogonal Spinal Alignment technique—further refining his ability to deliver the most precise, noninvasive, neurologically focused spinal corrections in all of Cincinnati. Beyond the clinic, he immerses himself in holistic and vitalistic health practices, integrating them into both his professional work and daily life. His passion for wellness inspired him to write The Vital Balance, a book that explores the five foundational pillars of health he lives and teaches: movement, nutrition, mindset, sleep, and nervous system function. Through advanced education, hands-on experience, and a relentless drive to return people to balance, Dr. Shelby empowers his patients to reclaim their health and elevate their life.
