Dr. Scott moved to the Boston area in 2019, where he had the opportunity to work in a gym alongside physical therapists. He was able to provide holistic healthcare to his patients by teaming with physical therapists to create comprehensive care plans. Dr. Scott specializes in preventative and injury care for weightlifting, swimming, running, tennis, and golf related injuries. He enjoys examining functional movements, gait analysis, swing analysis and basic form to help the patient to achieve optimal success. It is through these activities that Dr. Scott has grown his love for chiropractic as it allows patients to truly reach their optimal level of success. His favorite part of his job, however, has to be getting to know his patients and getting recommendations on the best places to visit in the Northeast.

What to Expect
1 Examination
During your 1st visit, our providers will hear the story of what brings you in, perform a new patient examination to determine the root cause of your problem, and briefly summarize what was found.
The examination consists of motion tests, palpation, reflex testing, and muscle strength, to help identify dysfunction in movement patterns and poor muscle engagement.
2 Report Of Finding
During your second visit, your provider will recap what was found in the examination, discuss a solution, review what your personal contribution to care will be, and begin treatment on that day.
3 Daily Appointments
On each subsequent visit, our providers will perform routine assessments to ensure you are track with your treatment plan and provide treatment.
Treatment visits typically consist of a combination of:
- Chiropractic Adjustments: restores, maintains, and optimizes human function by eliminating interference within the joint and soft tissue thus restoring the synergy between your joints, nerves, and muscles. Chiropractic adjustments are only available during sessions with a chiropractor.
- Integrated Muscle and Joint Therapy (IMJT): an advanced, active form of soft tissue treatment that effectively integrates the mind, muscular, skeletal, and neurological systems to achieve optimum balance throughout the body. IMJT is a patented technique available exclusively at LifeClinic.
- Rehabilitation: carefully selected exercises and activities used in a specific sequence in order to reinforce changes made with the adjustment and IMJT. Rehabilitation retrains the body’s “movement habits.”
