Dr. Robert Simpson is celebrating his 30th year as a chiropractor in Saskatchewan. Here, in his own words, is his story about why chiropractic has been his calling. I grew up in Dauphin, MB and was very active in hockey, basketball, and football throughout my school years. As well, my Dad owned a farm near Moosomin so weekends and summer holidays were spent helping out on the land! With all of this activity came some natural wear and tear on my body, and I started suffering with some neck pain and headaches. One day I mentioned them to our new neighbor who was the chiropractor in town. He took me over to the picnic table in the back yard and adjusted my neck on the spot! I had instant relief – it felt like the pain and stiffness was melting right out of my body! I continued to see him on a regular basis and had such amazing benefits that, with his encouragement, I decided to become a chiropractor. I did my Bachelor of Science at Brandon University, majoring in Zoology and Psychology, and then attended Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto, graduating in 1987. I moved to Saskatoon soon after graduation and worked as an associate in a successful downtown practice. In 1992 I began practicing at Circle Chiropractic and I also have a satellite practice in Davidson, SK. I feel passionately that chiropractor care benefits the whole body by stimulating the nerve supply to every cell, organ and tissue in the body, creating health and wellness for an optimum life. I’m so blessed to be treating, in many cases, 3 generations of families in my care! Together with my wife, children and grand-daughter, we live a full and abundant life and are proud to call SK our home.
