NEW BERLIN – Anyone taking a quick look around the Village of New Berlin is sure to notice the new lettering on a vacant storefront indicating that a new business has made its way into the center of the village.

During the month of January, Dr. Robert Shane began the process of moving his chiropractor practice into the first floor of 14 N. Main St.

While Shane said he is “technically open and seeing patients at the new office,” he hopes in the coming weeks to put the finishing touches on some upgrades and eventually hold a grand opening celebration to invite the community to learn what services he offers.

Born in Canada, Shane would eventually settle in the Syracuse suburb of Baldwinsville. After receiving his education from SUNY Fredonia and the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto, he would eventually establish and operate a practice in Baldwinsville in 1986 until he sold the business to an associate in 2004.

While working at his primary practice as a Chiropractor, Shane became passionately interested in safety and occupational health, which led him to pursue a post graduate degree in occupational safety. Armed with this education, Shane developed a secondary business for consulting and working with companies in the field of occupational health.
