Meet the Chiropractor

“Nothing wins more than a body that can function the way it is designed to. The nervous system controls every function of every organ, muscle, and cell. It is, no doubt, the most crucial system in the body.” – Dr. Simpson

Dr. Kristen Simpson, DC was born and raised in the small town of Mound City, Missouri. She moved to Lincoln, Nebraska to obtain her Associate of Applied Science degree. She later moved to Overland Park, Kansas to obtain a Bachelor’s of Science in Human Biology and a Doctorate of Chiropractic at Cleveland Chiropractic College.

Dr. Simpson focuses on family wellness chiropractic.  

She sees patients of all ages within families, from newborns to seniors. While in chiropractic school, she took additional courses to aid in preventing the degenerative process that plagues adults such as those with desk jobs to those who engage in manual labor or repetitive body wear as an occupation. Dr. Simpson has a strong passion for working with children and is one of a select few chiropractors in Leavenworth County to become specialized in pediatric/adolescent chiropractic care through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association. Likewise, she took additional training to obtain her Webster Certification through ICPA to specifically treat prenatal women. Women under regular chiropractic care during their pregnancy report experiencing shorter and less painful labor as well as fewer complications associated with delivery. Dr. Simpson has taken additional courses to help serve the human body to adapt to ongoing stressors and demands but her overall approach to treatment relies on traditional chiropractic adjustments.

Dr. Simpson chose to open Life Family Chiropractic in Leavenworth, Kansas due to the smaller community she craves to connect with and within which to raise her own family.

She feels honored to serve a military embedded community and hungers to inspire others to take responsibility of their own health and wellness. She is committed to working hard to provide a safe and effective health care option for all families. The profession of chiropractic encompasses substantial positive outcome measures within disabled veterans and Medicare patients. It has pushed for less narcotics and more for improved function as a tier priority within many current scopes of medicine.

As part of Dr. Simpson’s dedication to Life Family Chiropractic, she firmly believes in paying it forward. In 2016, she went on a mission trip with Mission Life International to Haiti and Dominican Republic and is currently in the process of planning return trips. She provided free chiropractic care to underprivileged areas in these countries. Dr. Simpson adjusted over 750 people, including orphans and broken families as a result of the 2010 earthquake, which left 1,500,000 people homeless and killed over 300,000 individuals. Additionally, she incessantly engages in community activities by partnering with local charities and events.
