I’m not exactly sure what I was expecting before I was introduced to Dr.Teddy Sim. I suppose I envisioned my former chiropractor, or perhaps other doctors who have treated me throughout my life, you know? Maybe he’d be middle aged, perhaps with some salt and pepper in his hair. And he would be wearing khakis, a polo, and since we were meeting for a photo shoot that evening, he would–perchance—bring a grey sports coat of some sort.

Boy was I wrong!

I first met Sim at his photo shoot for this article. The Deluxe Version Magazineteam and I were preparing for his arrival by arranging the studio lights and backdrop, and making sure the wine refreshments were stocked. When he walked through the front door, the studio’s atmosphere changed to pure excitement as we were welcomed with the most genuine greeting (which might have included a little dance, as well).

To my surprise, Sim was nothing like what I imagined. In fact, he was the total opposite. Dressed in a form-fitting Under Armour workout shirt and shorts, heentered the building with an unforgettable energy. (After all, he was coming straight from teaching one of his notorious Zumba classes, so he was pumped!)

Before getting started, we all sat in the meeting room to chat about somebusiness. (Actually, that’s where the “refreshments” were, so we were tending to another kind of “business!”) Sim sat at the head of the table, and his bubbly personality was addictive: As he was talking about his day, I couldn’t help but notice him spinning from side to side in the rotating chair, feet swinging. His energy was almost childlike…incredibly inviting! I was definitely intrigued and needed to know more.Raised in San Jose, Calif., Sim decided to join the military where he served in the United States Air Guard for 8 years. While in the Air Force, he was deployed many times; and during one of these missions, Sim injured his lower back while carrying heavy equipment. Upon the advice from his commander, Sim made an appointment with the chiropractor that day. He was so impressed with how fast and effective his chiropractic therapy was that he began to think about a serious career in the field.

Upon returning home, Sim decided to attend the University of Nevada, Las Vegas to earn his bachelor’s in kinesiology sciences. He later went on to receive his doctorate in chiropractic and yet another bachelor’s in human biology at the University of Western States. Sim decided to move back to Las Vegas where in 2010, he founded ChiropracTed LLC, where he is the lead chiropractic physician. And after 7 years, ChiropracTed has become one of the leading and most respected chiropractic offices in Las Vegas.

Aside from his clinic, Sim has a serious passion for Zumba. His love for this lively and energetic dance class came while he was studying at UNLV. At the gym,he noticed a class that people were always lining up for. Everyone inside was having a blast…smiling and dancing their hearts out! Sim decided to take a class and from there, was he was hooked. Zumba ended up being a way to take his mind off his books for an hour. And as if earning a doctorate and two bachelor’s weren’t enough, after graduation, Sim became a licensed Zumba instructor.

According to Sim, his love for Zumba was much deeper than the workout itself. This active chiropractor became more interested in how Zumba was changing the lives of millions through Zumbathon charity events. Inspired, Sim has since chosen to host the largest Zumba class in the nation, all while raising money for charity, as well.

Not only has Zumba helped Sim’s own well being, but it has made him into a more passionate chiropractor. The relationship he has with his patients and his students are most important to him. In fact, many of his patients are also his Zumba students! Seeing his patients heal through therapy and his students leave class with a smile is what he lives for.I’ll tell you what: All of my talking with Sim left me wanting to get up, get moving, and dance! If after reading this you feel the same, I’ll see you at Dr. Teddy’s next Zumba class at LVCVA!

Healing Hands You Can Count On While Facing Personal Injury

As Featured In Deluxe Version Magazine

There is no doubt that the streets of Las Vegas have become more congested over the past few years. Unfortunately, more traffic means more car accidents. Studies show that many injuries take place in accidents under 20 miles per hour. In these cases we hope to walk away unscaved with no worries. What the human body is feeling after an initial car accident though, is a surge of adrenalin known as fight or flight; this blocks the pain from being felt. All car accidents jolt the body in a unnatural way, somehow. So because you are not feeling the pain initially doesn’t mean you didn’t hurt yourself. This is why it is very important to see a chiropractor afterwards to make sure your spine has not become misaligned or your body has not sustained any other injuries unknown to you.

Dr. Ted Sim is one of the leading Personal Injury Chiropractors in the valley. His expertise and knowledge about how the body and spine react during and after an accident makes him one of the most respected doctors amongst his peers, as well.
Dr. Sim finds that it is extremely important for his patients to tell him every detail of the car accident. From the area of the car that was impacted to how you were seated and how you were positioned after the accident. All of this information helps him recreate the scenario and treat all the areas that may be affected.

If you find yourself being an unlucky victim of a car accident, Dr. Ted Sim suggest to take action and seek chiropractic help immediately. Dr. Sim and his team will help put together a personalized plan to help you achieve a full and healthy recovery.
