Finding the Right Path

“I went to college knowing that I wanted to enter the health care field. I met a chiropractor at an alumni event and spent time shadowing this practitioner, seeing how he was able to help people naturally while operating his business. From that point, I knew I wanted to serve people without the use of drugs and surgery.”

Qualifying As a Natural Practitioner

Washington Chiropractor, Dr. Michael Scarton

First, Dr. Scarton attended the University of Pittsburgh to complete his undergraduate studies. He then continued his education at Life University in Marietta, Georgia, where he graduated cum laude in 1997. While there, he was surprised to find out that chiropractic could influence a broad range of conditions other than lower back and neck pain and that chiropractic could improve their overall health.

He is certified in Active Release Techniques® for the upper and lower extremities. Additionally, Dr. Scarton is a certified Titleist Performance Institute provider who can create specific workout programs for each golfers individual needs.

An active member in the community, Dr. Mike maintains activity in the LIFE Alumni Association and the Pitt Alumni Association as well as the Pennsylvania Chiropractic Association.

Understanding Your Unique Needs

During sports, Dr. Scarton has suffered from numerous injuries and these problems made him realize there were natural paths to getting better, which led him to specialize in care for athletes and the use of soft tissue techniques like Active Release Techniques®. These techniques allowed him to keep participating in half IRONMAN® competitions. He is training to complete a full IRONMAN®, and chiropractic is helping him perform better in running, swimming and biking.

His family is the most important thing in Dr. Mike’s life, and he likes to do outdoor activities like hiking and traveling with his wife and children. He is active in sports and enjoys golfing.
