From the ice to your health

Dr. Pope’s story is one of perseverance, and it explains the way he treats every patient who walks through the door.

A dream that started in Edmonton

Growing up in Western Canada, where hockey is a way of life, David Pope dreamed of playing in the NHL.

His determination earned him an athletic hockey scholarship at the University of Nebraska Omaha. NHL scouts took notice, and the Detroit Red Wings drafted him. After earning his undergraduate degree at UNO, he signed his first NHL contract.

A career cut short

At just 14 years old he began experiencing concussions and chronic injuries to his head and neck. They followed him through his whole career and affected his athletic ability and his overall health.

As his symptoms worsened, he grew disillusioned with traditional medical approaches. For years he was told it was simply his brain. He never felt that was the whole story, and his health forced him to retire from hockey at a young age.

The chiropractor who changed everything

After years of searching for effective treatment, he found a doctor who completely changed his life: a chiropractor. For the first time in years, he felt like himself again. Years later he learned that ligament instability in his neck was a major piece of the puzzle.

That relief sparked a new passion: to become a chiropractor and help others facing the same frustrations he once did.

Complete Wellness Chiropractic

Dr. Pope graduated from Northwestern Health Sciences University in Minnesota in 2023 and founded Complete Wellness Chiropractic. He takes pride in care tailored to each patient’s needs, and in staying current with the latest healing techniques.

Why he does this work

Dr. Pope understands first-hand what it is like to live with life-changing health problems. That empathy drives him to offer exceptional care: not only to help patients heal, but to make sure they can live healthy, happy lives doing the things they love, now and well into the future.

He is known for his compassionate approach, his dedication to staying at the forefront of the latest healing techniques and his personal commitment to improving the lives of the people he treats.

His journey from hockey aspirations to overcoming chronic health challenges shaped his mission: to change and impact the lives of as many people as possible through great, natural chiropractic care. It is also why he takes a careful look at every patient with whiplash or concussion-like symptoms.

Outside the office

Dr. Pope stays close to his roots in Western Canada, where his parents and sister still live. He cherishes time with family and watching his young nephew, Kane, grow. He stays active golfing, playing pickleball and tennis, and hiking.
