Meet Dr. Erik Simms
Chiropractor. Powerlifter. Life Coach. 19+ years serving Northern Kentucky.
Kentucky State Record Holder
Bench Press & Total Weight Lift — Competitive Powerlifting
His Story
Dr. Erik Simms was born in St. Louis, MO and grew up in a small town — the kind of place where everybody knows everybody, not unlike Walton today. From a young age, he was an athlete at heart, competing as a wrestler all through high school and into college.
It was a shoulder injury during his wrestling career that first brought him face-to-face with chiropractic care. Having already seen what it had done for his father's health, the experience of his own recovery was transformative. He didn't just heal — he found his calling.
Dr. Erik enrolled at Logan University of Chiropractic, one of the most respected institutions in the field, and graduated ready to make an impact. After practicing in the greater Louisville and southern Indiana area, he made his way to Northern Kentucky in 2011 — and never looked back.
"I grew up in a small town, and when I got to Walton and the surrounding area, I felt it immediately — the community, the roots, the people," Dr. Erik has said. That sense of belonging drove him to plant his flag here permanently.
In 2014, he took the leap and opened Triple Crown Chiropractic. Starting in Union, then growing to Richwood, and finally landing in the current expanded Walton facility in July 2017, the practice grew organically — one patient, one result at a time.
Today, Dr. Erik is not just a chiropractor. He's a certified life coach, a former wrestling coach, and an active competitive powerlifter who currently holds Kentucky state records in the bench press and total weight lift in his age and weight class. He trains what he teaches — and his patients feel the difference.
The Road to Triple Crown
19+ years of building something real in Northern Kentucky
Licensed Doctor of Chiropractic
Graduated from Logan University of Chiropractic — one of the most respected chiropractic institutions in the country. Began his career treating patients in the greater Louisville and southern Indiana area.
Moved to Northern Kentucky
After years in the Louisville area, Dr. Erik fell in love with the tight-knit communities of Northern Kentucky and made the move permanent — planting roots in a region that reminded him of the small town he grew up in.
Founded Triple Crown Chiropractic
Taking the leap to open his own practice, Dr. Erik launched Triple Crown Chiropractic in Union, KY — driven by the belief that patients deserved a personalized, athlete-minded approach to care.
Expanding the Practice
As word spread and the patient base grew, the practice relocated to the Richwood area to accommodate more patients and a broader range of services.
Current Walton Location Opens
In July 2017, Triple Crown Chiropractic moved to its current Walton home at 11053 Clay Drive — a larger facility featuring on-site X-ray, multiple adjusting rooms, dedicated stretching space, and a massage therapy suite.
Covington Location & State Records
A second location opened in Covington offering expanded services including ARPwave and SoftWave therapy. Dr. Erik continues to compete in powerlifting and holds Kentucky state records in the bench press and total weight lift for his age and weight class.
The Athlete Behind the Doctor
Most chiropractors talk about the importance of exercise and healthy living. Dr. Erik lives it.
A former high school and college wrestler, his athletic roots never left him. After his wrestling days ended due to a shoulder injury, he channeled that competitive drive into powerlifting — and it paid off. He currently holds two Kentucky state records: the bench press and the total weight lift, in his age and weight class.
This isn't just a hobby — it informs everything about how he treats patients. He understands the body under stress, under load, and in recovery. When he recommends stretches, exercises, or lifestyle changes, he's speaking from lived experience.
Dr. Erik practices what he preaches — on and off the platform
From the wrestling mat to the treatment table
Rooted in Northern Kentucky
Dr. Erik didn't just set up practice here — he became part of the community. And that makes all the difference.
Small-Town Roots
Growing up in a small town shaped who Dr. Erik is. When he found Walton — a tight-knit Boone County community about 21 miles south of Cincinnati — it felt like home immediately. He's been here since 2011.
Family Community
Northern Kentucky is known for its family-first culture, strong schools, and community pride. Dr. Erik treats families of all ages — from student athletes to grandparents — and is genuinely invested in the health of this region.
Built From Scratch
Triple Crown Chiropractic was built entirely on word of mouth and genuine results. No corporate backing. No franchise. Just a doctor who cared enough to build something real — one patient at a time — for over a decade in NKY.
Our Approach to Care
Everything we do is built around one goal — getting you better, naturally, and keeping you that way.

03Results You Can Measure
Our 90% success rate in reducing sciatica episodes isn't a marketing claim — it's a documented outcome of consistent, athlete-minded care. We track your progress and adjust until you're where you need to be.
04Advanced Therapies
