As the owner of Simi Spine & Wellness in Simi Valley, California, Dr. DeCloedt combines personal experience, professional expertise, and a genuine passion for serving others to help patients recover from pain, improve mobility, and achieve their wellness goals.
A journey fueled by purpose
Long before becoming a chiropractor, Dr. DeCloedt served his community as a Deputy Sheriff. During his law enforcement career, he suffered a serious back injury that ultimately led to a medical retirement. Like many of his patients, he experienced firsthand the frustration, fear, and uncertainty that come with chronic pain and physical limitations.
After receiving chiropractic care and experiencing the life-changing benefits it provided, Dr. DeCloedt found a new calling. Inspired by his own recovery, he pursued a second career in healthcare, earning his Doctor of Chiropractic degree and dedicating his life to helping others find hope and healing.
His personal journey through injury, recovery, and resilience inspired him to write his first book, From Pain to Purpose, a story of overcoming adversity, finding strength through life’s challenges, and discovering that even our greatest struggles can lead us to our greatest purpose.
A family-centered life
Family is at the heart of everything Dr. DeCloedt does. He is blessed to share life with his wife, Sinthia, and together they have built a loving and supportive blended family. Dr. DeCloedt is the proud father of Trevor and Micah, and bonus dad to Makenzie, Cameron, and Caleb. Their family adventures often include sporting events, travel, outdoor activities, and making memories together.
One of the greatest influences on his life has been his son Trevor, who was born eight weeks premature and later diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Watching Trevor overcome obstacles with courage and determination has reinforced Dr. DeCloedt’s belief that every challenge can become an opportunity for growth and purpose. The family also includes their beloved dog, Scout, who keeps everyone entertained and active.
Serving the Simi Valley community
Having grown up in Simi Valley, Dr. DeCloedt is deeply connected to the community he serves. He is passionate about supporting local schools, youth sports programs, athletes, families, first responders, and community organizations. Whether he is caring for patients in the office, supporting local athletic programs, mentoring young athletes, speaking in the community, or sharing his story through his writing, he strives to make a positive impact on the lives of others.
Helping you feel better, move better, and live better
