 Barbara Shur, DC
Doctor of Chiropractic
Dr. Barbara Shur grew up
in New York City. She
received her Doctor of
Chiropractic in 1985 from
the Cleveland Chiropractic
College in Los Angeles and
is a former member of the
college faculty. She earned
a Bachelor of Science degree
in Health Sciences from
California State University
Long Beach where she also
earned an Athletic Training
Certificate.
Throughout her education
and training Dr. Shur worked
as a physical therapy aid.
She assisted patients
through respiratory and
stroke rehabilitation as
well as instructing
geriatric and post-surgical
patients how to walk and
regain independence. "I
found tremendous fulfillment
in assisting patients to
improve their health and
quality of life. It was my
desire to help people on a
different level that led me
to chiropractic medicine."
Dr. Shur is a
record-holding long distance
runner and her practice
includes many athletes. She
has trained in a range of
techniques including Sacro-occipital
(utilizing the gentle force
of gravity to balance the
spine through adjustment of
the pelvis) and cranial
adjusting (subtle
manipulation of the skull
bones to insure proper
natural movement). Because
of this unique expertise,
she was invited by a large
chiropractic family practice
in Australia to work
alongside their experts and
participate as an instructor
in their national seminars.

I first met Dr. Shur
over twelve years ago when
she assumed the chiropractic
practice where I had
received treatment for
several years prior. I was
immediately impressed with
her abilities and her
concern. She has treated me
for a variety of complaints
through the years including
my recent auto accident
injury and always gets me
back in shape fast. She also
has attended my daughter,
Amanda, for sports injuries
and a serious automobile
accident injury. A runner
herself, Dr. Shur gave
special attention to
Amanda’s running complaints
and, further, served as a
valued role model and friend
during Amanda’s developing
teen years.” - Sandy M. |
As a mother she also
enjoys extensive work
treating infants, children
and expectant mothers. Dr.
Shur is a member of the
California Chiropractic
Association, the Long Beach
Chiropractic Society and the Sacro-Occipital Research
Society International.
