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 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 various 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.
Why Choose Me?
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 on their goals.
