After a serious injury to a muscle at my groin I was laid up in bed for several weeks. To go to the bathroom I had to use two canes, and despite strong pain medication I was always in pain. I knew that my prospects were poor: in my late eighties I could have ended up in a wheelchair.
In this condition I consulted Dr. Brian Short six weeks after the injury. He uses a highly sophisticated activator technique which covers every muscle and joint in the body and through adjustments allows the nerves to heal. He worked on me for 12 therapy sessions, two of which - including the last one - required no adjustments and to my surprise were free of charge. Chiropractic adjustments never held for me before, but his did! Therefore, at the end of his treatments I can walk again without a cane and free of pain. In fact, I walk better now than before the injury, which is nothing short of a miracle.
Dr. Short is an exceptionally gifted healer. His professional ethics and level of caring are above par.

I would be remiss in not sharing that Dr. Short provides hope and healing. It is a blessing that Dr. Short is in Santa Fe, NM. For years I rotated around to three different chiropractors who stated they were proficient in the activator method. I was a mess trying to stay on top of an old head and spinal injury from getting run over by a snowboarder. Winter of 2021, I was having a health crisis, spinal pain and digestive issues that landed me in the hospital. A colleague recommend that I find an Advanced Certified Activator Practitioner. Dr. Short is the only chiropractor in Santa Fe with these credentials. I called, left a message, he called me back that afternoon and fit me in the next day. First appointment the relief from pain was immediate, and he asked if I was having digestive issues. He recommended a few supplements, which he does not sell, within 1 week and 3 treatments my digestion improved after being a mess for 5 months. A 10 star professional. Thank you. Dr. Short.

Dr. Short is highly knowledgeable, thorough and compassionate. His priority = his patients to alleviate their pain and get them back on track for active, healthy living. He's super efficient and shows genuine concern along with light hearted humor. I've gone to Dr. Short for back and shoulder issues. While the remedies take time he's helped me a great deal. Also appreciate his holistic approach that includes sleep pillows, shoes/orthotics and posture.

Dr. Short is a fantastic chiropractor and very proficient at helping to correct my hips, spine, wrists, and ribs. I often joke that I’m an embodiment of humpty-dumpty and I’m held together with visits to Dr. Short and a prayer. I would recommend him to anyone that requires a chiropractor or anyone that is considering surgery.

Dr Short uses the Activator Method, and he's the only one in the state of New Mexico. I've been to four other chiropractors in Santa Fe, and Dr Short surpasses them all in skill and results. Because of the Activator instrument’s speed, I'm less likely to tense up. This means my body is more receptive to treatment. In addition, the device is able to localize treatment to a small area--extremities, bladder, and specific areas of my back and buttocks. Other chiropractors' methods address a broader section of my body and don't always reach or impact specific spots.
When I came to Dr Short I was in severe pain. As I write this review, I'm happy to say I am pain-free. The best surprise was that his adjustments--besides relieving my neck, shoulder and foot pain--greatly diminished my interstitial cystitis (bladder pain), and I'm able to sleep now.
In addition to his experience, he is seemingly very intuitive when working on my body and has a healing touch. He's worth his weight in GOLD.

Are you looking to get well? Look no further. Doctor Short isn't here to sell you some kind of magic cure all drink mix. He's on a divine mission to unlock your innate ability to heal so that you can fulfill your life mission. Personal story summed up...A dump truck pulled out in front of me in 2004 and I T-Boned him at 50 mph in a 92 Honda Civic hatchback, undiagnosed TBI, etc. Fast forward 7 years of masonry and electrical work I broke my back in November 2011. Seizure in 2014. 2015 I fell and hyperextended my neck needing 5 stitches in left eye. Followed by another wreck in 2016 after which I was unable to breathe. Absolute Insanity. Life was falling apart and then Boom! Blindsided by a miracle in 2021 when I met Doctor Short. First Doctor to help adjust my cranials. Headaches are decreasing. Insomnia getting better. Body slowly healing. I'm on track to go back to school for the first time in 10 years and looking forward to learning and working again. Thanks Doctor Short!
