Dr. Curtis Scott
Dr. Curtis began his educational journey at the University of Western Ontario, where he graduated with an honors degree in Physiology. Subsequently, he pursued his Doctor of Chiropractic degree at the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic in Southern California.
During his time at UWO, Dr. Curtis faced daily struggles with headaches, mistakenly believing them to be a common occurrence. However, a minor low back injury prompted him to seek chiropractic care, which fundamentally transformed his life. After just a few visits, his headaches began to recede, his energy levels surged, and he experienced an overall sense of well-being. Eventually, his headaches vanished entirely, his posture improved significantly, and even his chronic low back pain became a thing of the past.
Dr. Curtis emphasizes that while chiropractic care is often associated with neck and back pain relief, its true essence lies in enhancing the health and function of the nervous system. When compromised, this system can impact various aspects of one’s overall health. His personal regret is that he endured reduced health for an extended period without knowing that a solution existed. Consequently, he has dedicated himself to educating as many people as possible about how modern chiropractic care can offer relief, sparing them needless suffering.
In addition to his 17 years of practice in Canada, Dr. Curtis has had the privilege of practicing internationally, collaborating with esteemed clinics in The Netherlands, France, and the USA.
Outside of his professional life, he cherishes spending quality time with his family: his wonderful daughters Cali and Cailyn, his lovely wife Cassie, and his loyal canine companion, Louie.
