Dr. Mylène Hopf, a Calgary native, decided to pursue her chiropractic career at Life Chiropractic College West in California.  After graduating Magna Cum Laude in 2010, Mylène left the warm California coast to return home to her family when an opportunity arose to join the team at Dr. Scholten’s office.  Dr. Hopf felt she could contribute to enhancing the health, posture and body balance of her patients, family and friends in Calgary.

Serving as a chiropractic assistant in a busy chiropractic practice during her university years is what inspired Dr. Hopf to pursue a career in the fastest growing alternative health care profession. During her time in chiropractic college she was intrigued by the specificity and reproducibility of upper cervical work, and has since dedicated her life to promoting the importance of the specific assessment of the upper cervical subluxation complex as a keystone in health care.

Dr. Hopf has a passion for service, education and research. As such, she is involved in numerous community groups offering health care workshops covering a wide-range of health topics as well as corporate workshops about ergonomics, posture and workplace flexibility. She is thrilled to be back in her hometown, working with such a strong team to bring posture, balance, and flexibility to the people of Calgary.

A social and outdoor loving person, when not at work Ashley can be found hiking in the mountains, grabbing a warm beverage in Kensington or walking her dogs at Prince’s Island Park.  

    

Dr. Jean-Paul Bohemier graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 2006. Dr. Bohemier started his practice working with his father in Winnipeg, Manitoba after which he spent three years focusing his practice on the NUCCA technique in Edmonton with Dr. Blair Schmaus.

From an early age, Dr. Bohemier was exposed to Chiropractic care as over thirty of his family members practice Chiropractic in both Canada and the United States. Seeing the amazing health benefits of being under chiropractic care his entire life, Dr. Bohemier decided that he wanted to help as many people as possible experience the benefits of a chiropractic lifestyle. In college Dr. Bohemier became involved with NUCCA due to his intrigue with upper cervical neurology, but also because of the positive impact this treatment had on his sport injuries. Dr. Bohemier is currently a member of NUCCA and is actively involved in the NUCCA certification process. During his time at Palmer College of Chiropractic Dr. Bohemier was a Radiology Technician and a Teaching Assistant for both Lumbo-Pelvic and Advanced Upper Cervical courses.

Dr. Bohemier moved to Calgary, Alberta to practice with Dr. Jeff Scholten in an effort to assist Dr. Scholten in his vision of seeing the specific assessment for subluxation of the upper cervical spine as a first step in health care. Dr. Bohemier is excited to provide his services to the people of Calgary.

    

Originally earning a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology in 1996 from the University of Calgary, Dr. Jeff Scholten continued his studies graduating Magna Cum Laude from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 2001. During his time at Palmer College, Dr. Scholten was inducted into the exclusive Vogt Society as recognition for exemplary personal leadership, was awarded with a Certificate of Recognition for Extraordinary Personal Action from the American Red Cross, received a Certificate of Merit for his role as an Anatomy Teaching Assistant and earned a membership in Pi Tau Delta, an International Chiropractic Honor Society.

After graduation from chiropractic college Dr. Scholten moved back to Calgary with his wife, Kira, and has been in private practice since 2001.  He has two young daughters, and aside from his passion for chiropractic he enjoys skiing and mountain biking in the beautiful mountains he missed while living in Iowa.  The family enjoys travelling together and are lucky to have friends around the world due to the ties made during his years studying at Palmer College of Chiropractic.

Dr. Scholten currently serves as Vice President of three organizations - The Council on Upper Cervical Care of the International Chiropractic Association (ICA) , The National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association (NUCCA),  and the Ralph R Gregory Memorial Foundation (Canada) (RRGMF(C)).  Dr. Scholten also holds an appointment as a member of the Board of Directors to the Upper Cervical Research Foundation (UCRF).

The idea of being able to positively impact the quality of a person's life and the amazing health benefits experienced by his family through upper cervical chiropractic care, originally led Dr. Scholten to pursue a career in chiropractic. The tremendous patient results seen within his own practice and his vision of seeing the specific assessment for subluxation of the upper cervical spine as a first step in health care has inspired Dr. Scholten to devote significant time and attention to the advancement of upper cervical chiropractic public awareness and procedural development.  Dr. Scholten actively coaches upper cervical chiropractors in practice development through The Chiropractic Way Consulting.  He is the organizer of an annual conference on practice excellence in the business of upper cervical chiropractic that raises money for upper cervical chiropractic research called Practice Innovation.

He is professionally engaged in ongoing clinical research focused primarily in the Practice Based Research (PBR) arena with interests in understanding and eventually predicting and enhancing the likelihood of particular patient outcomes from a structural, physiological and symptomatic perspective. In 2012 Dr. Scholten was awarded a grant from IN-CAM - Canadian CAM Research Fund (CCRF) to study online software data collection feasibility for a PBR network.  Dr. Scholten has previously had articles published in both Canadian Chiropractor and the Upper Cervical Monograph.
