Dr. Lisa Scott
(DC, IMS Certified)
As a child, my mom took me to the chiropractor to treat random childhood injuries due to falls off fences or bikes. After finishing high school, I took my first job in the 9-5 workforce and experienced first-hand repetitive injury. All these experiences led me to become a chiropractor. I graduated in 1999 from Western States Chiropractic College (now known as the University of Western States). As a new graduate, I worked in Hermiston, Oregon, for two years and then moved back to Calgary.
I take an integrative approach involving three components in chiropractic care: 1. Treating the problem with a specific diagnosis and, if needed, any necessary imaging. 2. Strengthening/stretching the areas of involvement brings stability and reduced pain. 3. Avoiding and/or modifying offending activities.
I have completed numerous continuing education courses during my practice and am now certified in Acupuncture and Dry Needling/Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS). I treat musculoskeletal conditions using manual therapies such as spinal adjustments, myofascial release, exercise, Kinesiotaping, and Graston.
I am married to James Scott and have two teenage boys, a dog, and a bunny. Fun fact: I volunteer at the Alberta Institute for Wildlife Rehabilitation, picking up injured birds and critters.
