Chiropractor

Gary De Mott, D.C.

Dr. Gary F. De Mott was raised in northern New Jersey by the Pocono Mountains of PA, 45 miles west of New York City. He was a state champion in football and captain of his high school track team. These activities lead him into a career as a Chiropractor.

He attended Life Chiropractic College where he was a class representative and president of the World Congress of Chiropractic Students organization an honor society that sends choice students to other Chiropractic Colleges to exchange different ideas and techniques once a year. He graduated in 1994 when he was awarded a mission trip to Belize where he was the only licensed Chiropractor in the entire country of 100,000 people back then. He then worked as an associate at a clinic in VA where he worked on different professional athletes as well as young children.

Soon after leaving that position, he opened his own clinic in South Carolina. 12 years later he has decided to join our clinic here in Jackson MS because he believes in our mission of combining Chiropractic treatment with muscular development and re-education to enhance the effectiveness of the adjustment. Thus making our patients stronger, healthier, and able to compete in the daily challenges of life at a higher level.
