About Dr. Simpson
Dr. Derek Simpson is a dual physician of both chiropractic and naturopathic medicine currently practicing in Washington State in private practice. He uses spinal manipulation, physical therapy, dry needling, massage, and varying types of nutritional/botanical supplementation to bring the body back to balance. His practice is completely holistic and integrative bringing together many medical arts from around the world.
Dr. Simpson began his doctoring life preparing for the surgical field in the ER. A full moon on Friday the 13th in a trauma 1 center proved to him the necessity of a slower practice and closer relationships with patients. His heart is fully attached to the naturopathic way of medicine, but chiropractic spinal manipulation is a primary treatment modality. He uses adjustments coupled with biofeedback to help loosen the bonds of old belief systems, which clog potential "neuro-reprogramming." This literally cuts the cord between the emotion we are experiencing and what it is physically doing in the body. The best analogy is like hitting the reset button on a computer. Once the adjustment is given, reset occurs, and the emotional state experienced no longer affects daily activities.
