These centers have been rewarded with Business of the Year, in the category of Healthcare, for four years consecutively (2004-2007). He has now expanded QuiroVida to Brazil and Spain, and continues as an active member of the Peruvian Chiropractic Association (Associacion Quiropractica de Peru).

Dr. Sasaki has always been a sports fanatic and lives a very active lifestyle. He played Jr. Varsity Soccer while at the University of Victoria and was asked to join the Florida Marlins Major League baseball farm team, but declined to pursue his Doctor of Chiropractic. He is an avid skier, golfer and surfer, and has a passion for racquet sports. His athletic background allows him to truly understand the biomechanics of sports injuries, and thus has had the opportunity to treat many world class athletes at sporting events, including WWE wrestling and the ASP professional surf circuit.

He has had great success with treating babies with colic, kids with asthma, TMJ problems, weight management, a variety of sports injuries, herniated discs, back pain, neck pain, headaches and many more health issues.
