Patient Reviews

 

“This year, I ran the Boston Marathon in 3:05:17, and just recently placed first overall female, in the Run Forrest Run Long Beach 5k with a time of 17:25. I must say I do not believe I would have been able to achieve these times without Dr. Scott’s treatment, particularly Boston as my knee was hurting for much of the training prior to the race and I do not think I would have been able to finish the marathon without him! This season, he has been treating my hamstrings and calves and getting them ready to run wicked fast and it has worked WONDERFULLY! Dr. Scott keeps you RUNNING and as any runner knows that is the most important thing, particularly when looking to get those fast PRs”—Elyse Shimada, winner Orange County Half Marathon

His ART treatments saved me! I was actually able to run the race pain-free…

“Dr. Scott gets a ton of credit for the success of my 70.3 triathlon race. I had been training for it for several months when plantar fasciitis appeared about 6 weeks before the race. His ART treatments saved me! I was actually able to run the race pain-free. THANK YOU so much, Scott!”–Sherri Ellerby, multiple-time winner La Jolla Half Marathon

Two weeks later the pain was gone….

“I struggled with an achilles problem for almost a year before finding Dr. Scott. Two weeks later the pain was gone and I was back running. Thank you Dr. Scott.” —Emma R. of San Clemente, California

My neck pain is gone….

“Dr. Scott is fantastic. I used to suffer through the day in front of my computer. Now my neck pain is gone thanks to him.”—Bill L. of Newport Beach, California

I was running without any pain after 2 visits….

I started training with Team in Training for my first marathon and was in constant pain after our first 10 miler. After I tried a few other clinics, a fellow TNT runner referred me to Dr. Scott. I was running without any pain after 2 visits. Dr. Scott knows running and injuries like nobody. He is a great doctor! —Heidi R. of Newport Beach, California

I am forever grateful….

“I found Dr. Scott two days before Ironman Arizona. He worked on my hamstring, fixed my bike position, and the next day I raced pain free and set a new personal record. I am forever grateful.”—Hektor L. of Sevilla, Spain

He is the only chiropractor that I refer my patients to….

“Dr. Scott is not only my chiropractor, but he is the only chiropractor that I refer my patients to. He is the reason that I can still paddle and surf. He really is a great doctor.”—Dr. Steven Mann

Dr. Scott’s treatment and advice had me back running in two weeks….

“I hurt my back after just two weeks training with A Snail’s Pace marathon training program. I was sure that my marathon plans were bust until a running partner made me call Dr. Scott. Dr. Scott’s treatment and advice had me back running in two weeks and finishing my first marathon pain free.”—Mike P. of Aliso Viejo, California

It was amazing how quickly he helped my pain….

“The only reason I was able to run my first marathon was Dr. Scott’s treatment and advice. It was amazing how quickly he helped my pain go away.”—Heather F. of Mission Viejo, California

Dr. Scott’s office is the first place I go….

“I don’t live in the area. But when I’m in town for a competition, Dr. Scott’s office is the first place I go. No one helps my shoulder pain as well as Dr. Scott does.”—Kelly S. of Lahaina, Maui

I never thought that I would live pain-free again….

“I suffered with pain from a car accident for more than two years before finding Dr. Scott. He is such a miracle worker. I never thought that I would live pain-free again. But he was able to diagnose my problem that all of the other doctors had missed. Who knows where I would be right now without his help.”—Helene O. of Irvine, California

Thank you Dr. Scott for helping me avoid that surgery….

“I was about to schedule a knee surgery before a friend referred me to Dr. Scott. After six weeks of his treatments and following his exercises, my knee pain was completely gone. And now I am able to run and workout without any pain or problems at all! Thank you Dr. Scott for helping me avoid that surgery.”—Liz S. of Ladera Ranch, California

My jaw pain was gone the next day….

“When my dentist referred me to Dr. Neubauer, I thought why am I going to a chiropractor for a TMJ problem? But Dr. Neubauer treated my jaw and my upper neck and gave me some exercises. My jaw pain was gone the next day. Thank you Dr. Neubauer for helping so much and thank you Dr. Marks for referring me!”—Greg D. of Laguna Beach, California

Carlsbad 5000-You win, you win twice!

My wife asked me why I am doing this. In the ‘old’ days, it would’ve been to beat a lot of people and maybe rub their noses in it a bit. In my current, older, more mature and much slower years, I need an excuse to run 5 races as hard as possible. So, here are the details:

On April 3, I will be running the All Day 25k at the Carlsbad 5000.  The All Day 25k has me running each of the 5 age group races (not racing against the elite fields or the wheelchair division). If you fill in the form below BEFORE April 3 and you beat my time in the same race (eg: if you are running the Female 29 and under race, you must beat my time in that same F29&U race), you win a free chiropractic, Active Release Technique®, Kinesio/RockTaping or strength and rehab session.

Here are my rules:

1)You have to actually beat my time–this means faster “chip time” at the finish, not just “gun time” finish.

2)You have to check in with me before the race–it’s only fair that I know my competition. Fill in your name and contact info below.

3)If I fail to start due to sickness, injury, etc., you win by default.

4)If we tie (same time), tie goes to you.

5)Same heat racing only–your time has to beat my time in the same heat/race.

6)Non-transferable–sorry, you can’t give away your win to someone else.

7)Use it or lose it–come in for your appointment before May 1, 2011 or it expires (and no, it does not have a redeemable cash value).

8)This challenge is open to both current/previous and new patients.

9)Only 1 win per person–if you’re also racing in all 5 races, you have the opportunity to beat me 5 times, but only to win one freebie.

Okay, here’s the form:

Running Gait Analysis

Runners absorb 3-6 times their body weight every time their foot contacts the ground and take 1000-2000 steps per mile. If a runner’s gait has a flaw to it, those stresses can lead to injuries that never resolve.

Dr. Scott’s years of training and racing, years of eduction and fascination with the biomechanics of ambulation have led him to being considered an expert in the treatment and diagnosis of running related injuries.  Dr. Scott believes that every runner, jogger and walker should have a gait analysis, and performs one on all of our patients at no additional charge.  Doing anything less that this would be treating only the symptom and not the underlying cause.

For a more in depth gait analysis, including a full functional strength and range of motion screening and a video analysis of your gait, see our RUN TESTING.

Physical Rehab

Dr. Scott utilizes a low-tech, functional movement approach to exercise rehabilitation geared toward improving balance and proprioception,  strengthening core muscle groups and increasing muscle function and endurance.  He has worked alongside numerous medical doctors, physical therapists, athletic trainers and strength coaches throughout his career.

The goal of rehab and conditioning instructed in our clinic is to come up with a brief series of exercises specific to the individual needs of each patient.  Compliance rates are high with our patients because we ensure that our patients understand the purpose of their exercises and how those exercises help to bring both short-term and long-term relief of symptoms.

Exercise design and instruction are given in the clinic for patients to perform at home with simple equipment such as gym balls/swiss balls, exercise tubing, and proprioceptive or balance equipment. Core muscle group stabilization is the most important factor in prevention and recovery from injuries. Endurance of muscles that maintain proper function and stability when performing difficult movements is also critical in preventing injuries and  expediting recovery.

If you have a personal trainer, coach, martial arts, pilates, or yoga instructor, Dr. Scott will contact them and work hand-in-hand to coordinate a plan that works best for you and your individual goals.

With 20 years of endurance sports participation and 15 years of strength and conditioning training, Dr. Scott understands how to integrate exercise rehab to all the different lifestyles patients present with.

History of the CSCS

The Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) program was created in 1985 to identify individuals who possess the knowledge and skills to design and implement safe and effective strength and conditioning programs. The credentialing program encourages a higher level of competence among practitioners and raises the quality of strength training and conditioning programs provided by those who are CSCS certified.

Today, more than 21,000 professionals from a variety of academic and professional backgrounds hold this prestigious credential. This diverse group includes strength coaches, athletic trainers, physical therapists, personal trainers, physicians, chiropractors, researchers and educators. The CSCS is the only strength training and conditioning certification to be nationally accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) and has been nationally accredited since 1993.

Kinesiology Taping

Kinesiology Taping involves taping over and around muscles in order to assist and give support or to prevent over-contraction. The first technique gives Dr. Scott the opportunity to give support while still maintaining full range of motion. This enables the patient to participate in his/her normal physical activities with functional assistance. The second technique, which is most commonly used in the acute stage of rehabilitation, helps prevent overuse or over-contraction and helps provide facilitation of lymph flow for an entire 24 hour period. Correctional techniques include mechanical, lymphatic, ligament/tendon, fascia, space and functional. Kinesio® Tex Tape and RockTape® can be used in conjunction with other therapies, including Active Release Technique®, cryotherapy, hydrotherapy, massage therapy and electrical stimulation.  Dr Scott is certified as both a Certified KinesioTaping® Practitioner (CKTP) and a RockTape® Power Taping Provider (CPTP).

Kinesiology Taping affects the activation of the neurological system and the circulatory system. Muscles are not only attributed to the movements of the body, they also control the circulation of venous and lymph flows, body temperature, etc. Therefore, the failure of the muscles to function properly induces various kinds of symptoms. Consequently, more attention was given to the importance of muscle function in order to activate the body’s own healing process. Using an elastic tape, such as Kinesio® Tex Tape, it was discovered that muscles and other tissues could be helped by outside assistance. Kinesio® Taping is an innovative approach to treating nerves, muscles and organs.

Since the introduction of Kinesiology Taping in the United States, medical practitioners such as PTs, ATCs, OTs, DCs, MTs and MDs have recognized and embraced this effective, safe and best of all, easy-to-use modality. The method and tape allow the individual to receive the therapeutic benefits 24 hours a day with both comfort and ease because it can be worn for several days per application. Currently, Kinesio®Taping and RockTape’s PowerTaping® are used in hospitals, clinics, high schools and by even by professional sports teams.

 

Below is an example of Dr. Scott applying Kinesiology tape on an athlete at Ironman Arizona.

Chiropractic Care

The word ‘Chiropractic’ is derived from Greek terminology and means ‘to treat by hand.’ Chiropractic care focuses on conservative, non-invasive treatment for joint and soft tissue problems and their associated effects on the neurological system. Joint and soft tissue problems, if left untreated, can ultimately lead to degenerative changes. The main job of the chiropractor is to identify the cause of the problem, address it properly, and educate the patient so as to reduce the need for continued care.

The field of chiropractic has evolved much over the last 110 years. Chiropractic care incorporates the best of treatments for joint, muscle, fascia, and ligament dysfunction to help you get better as quickly as possible.

Conditions Treated by Chiropractic

Chiropractic care is utilized for a multitude of conditions. The principles for the body are universal. If joints and associated soft tissue are not working properly and there is neurological compromise, care is necessary to correct the problem and help restore normal function.

With an emphasis on spinal structure and function, chiropractic care is an excellent treatment option for virtually any and all joint complexes in your body. As the only field that specializes in conservative treatment for joint dysfunction and soft tissue pathology, chiropractic care can most likely help you with whatever musculoskeletal condition you are suffering with!

About Chiropractic Education

Chiropractors go through an immense amount of schooling to recieve a Doctor of Chiropractic degree.  Their collegiate agenda is as follows:
– Graduate from a four year college.
– Four years of Chiropractic Education.
– One year of mandatory internships.
– After graduating, pass a written and oral board exams, at national and state levels.

Dr. Scott’s chiropractic alma mater, Southern California University of Health Sciences, is accredited by Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). The WASC accreditation is a rigorous one, with other accredited institutions including Stanford University, UCLA, USC, and many others.
