Chiropractic is a form of alternative medicine that mainly deals with the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine. A chiropractor uses spinal adjustments, manipulation, and other techniques to manage patients’ health concerns, including neck pain, back pain, headaches, vertigo and a long list of other ailments and conditions. They aim to improve patients’ functionality and quality of life by properly aligning the body’s musculoskeletal structure and enabling the body to heal itself naturally, without the use of medication or surgery. Although musculoskeletal care is the hallmark portion of her duties as a chiropractor, she is well versed in supplemental nutrition for physical and internal disorders. 

On a more personal note, Dr. Scantlebury is fluent in both English and Spanish and is working toward learning American Sign Language for the deaf and hard of hearing community. She works as a part time boxing instructor for TITLE Boxing Club in South Tampa and enjoys reading manga and watching anime in her free time.
