Shaw Chiropractic Celebrates 25 Years

Port Huron, MI, July 19, 2021– July 26, 1996 Dr. Ian Shaw saw his first chiropractic patient in the black and brick castle building that used to stand by the Blue Water Bridge on Pine Grove, Shaw Chiropractic is now located at 1002 10th Avenue, two blocks north of 10th St. bridge.  

Dr. Shaw was born and raised in the Blue Water Area in Sarnia, Ontario.  After graduating from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa he and his wife, Kelly, decided to come back to the area to open Shaw Chiropractic so they could be near their families and raise their own children, Tyler and Kathryn.

Throughout the past 25 years, Dr. Shaw has graciously given back to our community by serving as the team chiropractor of the semi-professional hockey teams, through many sponsorships to sports teams, supporting many city recreation events, and not for profit organizations.  When professional athletes and musical artists have been in town Dr. Shaw has been called upon by several to treat them while they were away from their own chiropractors. 

Many young people have come to job shadow Dr. Shaw with approximately 10 of them becoming chiropractors themselves.  Three of the job shadows were all from the same hockey team that he coached and another is his partner today, Dr. Adam J. (AJ) Armbruster.  As a testament to him, Dr. Shaw has had the same two assistants for nearly the entire 25 years he has been in practice, Vivian and Deena have been constant, tried and true team members. As the practice has grown, additional staff have joined the team that is like family.

Dr. Shaw is NOT retiring or going anywhere any time soon and Dr. Armbruster with his wife, Beth Ann, are established in the area with their three children, Max, Brody, and Sophia.  

It would be remiss to not take advantage of this opportunity to congratulate and thank Dr. Shaw for his selflessness and humble efforts to provide chiropractic care for and be a friend to many people in our community. It is with great pride that he started Shaw Chiropractic 25 years ago and just like the motto, he will always strive to be:  “Your family’s first choice in chiropractic care.”
