Meet Dr. Scott Dunaway DC, CKTP, ART
Dr. Dunaway is originally from Cape Girardeau MO. He is the youngest in a family of 4 boys, which is to say he was constantly busy with sports…and getting hurt. His family environment growing up nurtured a passion for an active, healthy life in a large part due to his mother being a Registered Dietitian. It was after a baseball injury that Dr. Dunaway got his first chiropractic adjustment, after which, to his surprise, he was able to play in his very next game. It was at this point he knew there was something special about Chiropractic.
He went on to attend Logan College of Chiropractic and graduated Cum Laude in December of 2012. While attending Chiropractic school he went on to get full body certified in Active Release Technique to improve his knowledge in biomechanics and soft tissue treatment. Upon graduation he moved to Clarksville TN to begin practice.
For the first 3 years in Clarksville, Dr. Dunaway practiced traditional chiropractic but focused most of his continuing education on functional movement and kettlebell training. He quickly realized the need to incorporate corrective exercise and fitness into his Chiropractic philosophy in order to provide the most efficient and long lasting results for his patients. ChiroStrength is the accumulation of 7 years of education, practice since 2012, and countless hours and weekends at seminars learning how to best incorporate coaching and treating into a package of care.
Alongside the practice, Dr. Dunaway spends a day and a half of most weeks working on site in industrial settings, treating employees who are dealing with repetitive use injuries while staying on the job. He sees over a thousand workers a year this way, everything from knees and backs to hands, elbows, and fingers. That work is a large part of why his approach leans so heavily on movement and self care. When someone cannot take time off and cannot stop using the injured area, the exercise has to do most of the work.
With ChiroStrength, Dr. Dunaway is finally able to provide his patients with everything he knows to not just get his patients out of pain, but teach them the importance of daily movement and sustainable exercise to prevent injury in the future.
