Why chiropractic
It started with a shoulder injury.
Dr. Scranton did not start out planning to be one. He finished an accounting degree at the University of Illinois in 1991, then hurt his shoulder playing volleyball in Chicago badly enough that surgery was on the table.
A chiropractor fixed it instead. That was the whole argument. He went to Palmer College of Chiropractic and graduated as a Doctor of Chiropractic in 1999.

Action Chiropractic
What he missed was the patients. He bought Action Chiropractic in West Valley City to get back to treating people and helping them get their health back.
How he works
A practical, thorough approach focused on finding the real cause of your problem.
Looks before he treats
He looks before he treats. Digital X-rays are taken on site and read with you in the room, so you see what he is seeing before he touches your spine.
The Gonstead method
He uses the Gonstead method, which finds the exact joint that is causing the problem instead of adjusting everything and hoping. It takes longer than a quick adjustment, and that is the point.
Honest answers
And he tells you the truth. If he does not think he can help you, he will say so. We are not going to give you false hope.
