Dr. Sarah Shipton graduated from the New Zealand College of Chiropractic after studying Kinesiology and Biology at the University of Alberta. Her journey has taken her from Canada to New Zealand and Australia and back again - working with diverse patients and deepening her understanding of how movement, the nervous system, and lifestyle all come together to support lasting health. Now back home in the Edmonton area, Sarah is excited to share her experience and passion with her local community.
Sarah has a special interest in how the body’s neurology influences movement and overall function. She believes that true health begins with understanding the root cause of a problem, not just managing symptoms. Her goal is to help people move better, feel stronger, and live more fully - whether that means reducing pain, improving mobility, or enhancing performance in day-to-day life.
Her approach to care is centered around functional health and individualized treatment. Sarah uses a variety of evidence-informed techniques including chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue release, cupping therapy, and medical acupuncture to create comprehensive care plans tailored to each person’s needs and goals.
Outside the clinic, Sarah enjoys staying active, exploring the outdoors with her Springer Spaniel pup, and spending time with family and friends. She’s passionate about helping people in her community live healthier, more balanced lives and is thrilled to be back in Alberta doing what she loves most.
