The story

Care built around your goals

Dr. Scott has been a chiropractic patient his whole life — and that's exactly what drew him to the profession. Experiencing firsthand how hands-on care could help him move and feel better, he wanted to offer that same kind of attentive, personal care to others.

He earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree, cum laude, in 2014 from the Southern California University of Health Sciences (Los Angeles College of Chiropractic) and has been in practice since 2015. His advanced coursework includes active release, orthopedics, applied kinesiology, and nutrition.

Before chiropractic school, he completed a B.S. in Sports, Event and Entertainment Management at Johnson & Wales University, graduating summa cum laude in 2010. There he played college soccer at the NCAA level, and he also competed at the NAIA level — an athletic background that shapes his focus on sports injuries and rehabilitation.

His training spans California, the Netherlands, and Germany, giving him a broad perspective on hands-on care. Today he focuses on sports injuries and rehab, pregnancy care (Webster technique), pediatric care, and back, neck, and joint pain.
