Dr. Njaa divides her Chiropractic practice between Saskatoon and Wakaw. In 2022, she opened her clinic, Prairie Lake Chiropractic, located in the town of Wakaw and has been enjoying the opportunity to serve both urban and rural communities. This balance allows her to bring a wide range of experience to her patients while continuing to focus on delivering personalized, family-centered care.
Dr. Njaa is in good standing with the Chiropractic Association of Saskatchewan (CAS), the Canadian Chiropractic Association (CCA), and the Canadian Chiropractic Protective Association (CCPA) and holds membership with the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA).
Passionate about promoting optimal health for individuals of all ages, Dr. Njaa brings expertise in Chiropractic care utilizing evidence-based care with a diversified chiropractic technique. With a Chiropractic education foundation from Northwestern Health Sciences University graduating Summa Cum Laude in 2021, and an undergraduate degree in Kinesiology from the University of Saskatchewan graduating with Great Distinction in 2016, Dr. Njaa has established a thriving family-based practice known for its personalized approach and commitment to enhancing the well-being of each patient.
Dr. Carly Njaa provides chiropractic care for many of the everyday issues people experience, from general aches and tension to movement restrictions and postural challenges. She works with patients to relieve discomfort, restore mobility, and support long-term health.
As an advocate for proactive chiropractic care, she emphasizes that seeking treatment for wellness, rather than solely in response to pain, can be a transformative approach to overall health. Dr. Njaa loves working with her patients to promote a balanced and healthy lifestyle even in the absence of specific symptoms, disease, or discomfort as individuals progress from infancy to the golden years of aging.
Dr. Brockman deepened her passion for wellness while training as a high-performance rower. She focused on developing the four interconnected domains of wellness – physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual. She discovered firsthand that optimizing the nervous system is essential for peak performance and overall well-being. This realization made consistent chiropractic care a cornerstone of her personal wellness routine.
Dr. Brockman earned her Doctorate of Chiropractic from Northwestern Health Sciences University in Minnesota, where she studied the profound impact of nervous system optimization for both rehabilitation and preventative care. She previously completed a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology at the University of Saskatchewan. Dr. Brockman has helped patients of all ages, from athletes and expectant mothers to growing children and busy parents, achieve better health through evidence-based care. She is excited to bring her patient-centered approach to more members of the community.

“It is common to see a chiropractor for pain relief, but why choose consistent care? I believe all domains of wellness are deeply interconnected. By supporting the whole person, not just symptoms, we unlock the potential to truly thrive. Whether you're an athlete pushing your limits, a student navigating demands, a parent keeping up with little ones, a mama-to-be preparing for birth, or a child hitting new milestones, I'm here to help optimize your nervous system so you can pursue every adventure life offers with greater ease and vitality.”
Outside of the clinic, Dr. Brockman cherishes time with family and friends, through traveling,
staying active in the community, and cheering on her favorite sports teams!

With over 12 years of experience as a Registered Massage Therapist and a background as an NCAA volleyball athlete, Sara Trapp brings a deep understanding of how the body moves, adapts, and heals. As a mother of four who values an active, balanced lifestyle, she understands firsthand the importance of caring for the body so it can support individuals through every stage and season of life.
Sara’s treatment approach is always guided by what the body needs in the moment. She works at a therapeutic-to-deep-tissue depth, following the cues of the tissues rather than forcing them. Clients value her ability to assess the whole body, identify the true sources of discomfort, and treat beyond the area where symptoms appear. She also focuses on the patterns, repetitive movements, and daily habits that often contribute to chronic tension or recurring issues.
She is particularly passionate about supporting women through pregnancy. With the body changing so rapidly, Sara helps expecting mothers understand that pregnancy does not have to mean months of discomfort. Through targeted techniques, education, and body awareness, she empowers women to remain comfortable, mobile, and largely pain-free throughout pregnancy.
