Dr. Scaringe, a lifelong West Hartford resident, has been in practice since 2002 and is a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician with a specialty in athletic rehabilitation and Board Certified as a Fellow of the International Academy of Medical Acupuncture.

With a focus on promoting wellness through education, and an emphasis on injury prevention and health maintenance, Dr. Scaringe’s practice encompasses the diagnosis and treatment of the spine, extremities, and soft tissue injuries, with a focus on reversing the effects of injuries caused by trauma, repetitive motion, poor posture, and poor lifting habits.
