Dr. Scott Allen

Born and raised in Ellicott City, MD. I got into chiropractic after seeing the results my friends and family were having while under chiropractic care. And I really liked how I could affect others lives without the use of medication. I sustained an injury through sports and was prescribed pain medication and I didn’t like how it only helped my problem while I was taking the medication. I am passionate about helping people realize that they do not have to be on pain medication for the rest of their lives and being able to help people without the need for pharmaceuticals.

In my free time I really enjoy watching and playing sports, watching movies, traveling and trying out new restaurants. I really enjoying practicing in DC because we have a very vast and eclectic patient population so it's never the same treatments everyday. I love all the historic buildings and the history of DC. It's really awesome to be able to practice in the capital of the United States.

I went to Lynchburg College and received a bachelors of science degree in Athletic Training. I went to New York Chiropractic College for chiro school. After chiro school I was the head athletic training for the Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC) at Dundalk and then I was the head athletic trainer for the Baltimore Brigade; a professional arena football team. I am still a certified athletic trainer. I have a background in Flexion-Distraction, drop table, diversified, gonstead, kinesio tape (levels 1 & 2) and activator technique.

“In our practice, we build lasting relationships with patients and exceed their expectations for great chiropractic care. Count on our team to listen to your goals and concerns, then to address your issues and answer all of your questions. You will feel secure in our abilities and confident in our care.”
