Dr. Derek was born and raised on his family farm right here in Ruthven, Ontario. He attended Cardinal Carter High School where he was a 5 sport athlete who played Hockey, Soccer, Basketball, Volleyball and Badminton. Dr. Derek is a proud Alumnus of the Human Kinetics Movement Science program at the University of Windsor. After graduation he moved to St. Louis, Missouri where he received his Doctorate of Chiropractic degree from Logan University. He had his first experience with chiropractic at 11 years old after a shoulder injury playing hockey. He was always fascinated with how quickly he was able to get back on the ice, even though he was told it was a season ending injury. His passion for Chiropractic stemmed from that childhood memory and he now shares that same passion for helping others. Dr. Derek is determined to help his patients become the best versions of themselves and help them get back to doing the things they love in life. He achieves this by using a variety of Chiropractic Techniques including: Diversified, Thompson Pelvic Drop, Extremity Adjusting (Shoulders, Elbows, Wrists, Hips, Knees and Ankles), Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) and various soft tissue techniques. Dr. Derek’s main objective as a chiropractor is to address and treat the root cause of his patient’s dysfunction, rather than only treating the pain or symptoms. He values his time with his patients and bases his individualized treatment plan around their specific goals.
