Dr. Ashton N. Shelton, DC, CACCP
Discovering a Desire to Help
Dr. Shelton was taking a course at Oklahoma State University where physicians from different fields were brought in to speak. They would tell the students about their profession, and the students would then write a summary paper. Set on a career in optometry, Dr. Shelton paid little attention to the presentations until a chiropractic school advisor spoke. “Though I’d never been to a chiropractor, it resonated with me. I loved the idea of taking care of someone and helping them feel better.”
Immediately, Dr. Shelton went home and researched chiropractic. She found that doctors of chiropractic care for the whole person, not just individual parts. She knew that this was the way that she could make an impact, and a new career path was discovered.
Developing a Passion for Family Care
Dr. Shelton attended Cleveland University-Kansas City to obtain her doctorate in chiropractic medicine. While there, Dr. Shelton developed an interest in pediatric chiropractic. She joined, and was later president of, the Pediatric Club where she learned more about how to care for children and expectant mothers. Just prior to graduating in 2013, Dr. Shelton became a mother herself.
It soon became a passion to help women feel better and enjoy their pregnancies. Dr. Shelton is certified in Webster Technique.
