Dr. Pope, being a former professional hockey player, understands pain which showed in his compassionate approach to relieving my lower back and neck pain. When I first met Dr. Pope, he was professional and thorough in explaining what the plan was to get me started on my journey back to a pain-free body. After the first few sessions I was already feeling relief. I’m currently on a maintenance program and doing great. Including getting back into the gym. I would highly recommend Dr. Pope.
Can’t recommend Dr. Pope enough. Came to him with severe back pain to the point I could barely walk and couldn’t stand on my own, within a week he had me almost pain free. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and cares about his patients. Definitely the best chiropractor I’ve ever seen! Can’t thank him enough!
I came in dealing with some pretty frustrating hip and lower back pain that was making it difficult to golf comfortably. After working with Dr. Pope I noticed a huge difference. He took the time to figure out what was going on and put together a treatment plan that actually helped. I’m feeling much better now and can finally get back to swinging freely without the pain holding me back. Would definitely recommend him to anyone dealing with similar issues!
Over the past few months, I have been receiving treatment from Dr. Pope, and his assistance has been truly invaluable. During our first appointment, he conducted a comprehensive examination and really took the time to explain the underlying causes of my pain. Dr. Pope demonstrates a vested commitment to my health and well-being!
I came to Complete Wellness after dealing with ongoing lower back pain that was starting to interfere with my everyday life. I was having trouble staying active and doing some of the things I normally enjoy without discomfort. After working with the team at Complete Wellness and sticking with the treatment plan, I’ve noticed a huge improvement. I’m now able to work out, stay active, and get through my day without constantly thinking about my back. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely takes the time to understand what you’re dealing with instead of just treating the symptoms. I’m really happy with the care I’ve received at Complete Wellness and would definitely recommend them to anyone dealing with pain or looking to improve their overall mobility and wellness.
I came in with back/neck tightness from sports and now, because of the treatment I received, I am able to play sports comfortably and without pain again. Dr Pope has been a huge help!

Dr. Pope brings the same dedication, discipline and team-first mindset from his hockey career to every patient he treats.

Growing up in Edmonton, Alberta, David Pope dreamed of the NHL. A hockey scholarship took him to the University of Nebraska Omaha, the Detroit Red Wings drafted him, and he signed his first NHL contract.

Concussions and chronic head and neck injuries that began when he was 14 followed him through his career and forced him to retire young. Traditional medicine had no answers.
A chiropractor did. For the first time in years, he felt like himself again, and he knew what he wanted to do next.

He graduated from Northwestern Health Sciences University in 2023 and founded Complete Wellness Chiropractic to give patients the care that changed his life.

We use evidence-based spinal adjustments to correct misalignments, remove nerve interference and activate your body’s natural healing processes.
We evaluate each patient and build a plan aimed at lasting relief, without surgery or medication where it can be avoided.

It depends on the problem, its severity, how long it’s been present, and your goals.
