Originally from the East Coast — having lived from New England to the Mid-Atlantic region — Dr. Scott Haines brings a thoughtful and investigative approach to chiropractic care. Before entering healthcare, he earned undergraduate degrees in photography and later completed graduate-level project management training at George Washington University while working in the telecommunications field. After deciding to pursue a more hands-on profession, Dr. Haines moved coasts and enrolled at the University of Western States, where he earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree in 2007. Early in his career, Dr. Haines worked in a dental clinic for the leading TMJ specialist Dr Arthur Parker DMD, gaining extensive experience treating jaw disorders (TMJ/TMD) and understanding the relationship between the jaw, neck, and spine dysfunction. He has extensive experience working with complex musculoskeletal conditions, including hypermobility disorders such as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), where a careful and highly specific treatment approach is essential. Dr. Haines places a strong emphasis on identifying the root cause of pain and dysfunction rather than simply managing symptoms. By carefully evaluating how different parts of the body interact, he works to uncover the underlying factors contributing to discomfort and recurring issues. His treatment style is precise and gentle, combining chiropractic adjustments with rehabilitation and soft tissue techniques to help patients restore healthy movement and support long-term wellness. Outside the clinic, Dr. Haines enjoys spending time outdoors. An avid rock climber, he originally chose Oregon to continue his medical studies and for access to Smith Rock. He continues to enjoy climbing, cross-country skiing, hiking, backpacking, and exploring the Pacific Northwest.
