About us

My journey to becoming a chiropractor wasn’t something anyone in my family ever saw coming—including me.

I was originally at university studying to become a teacher, with a minor in American Sign Language, when life took an unexpected turn. I had suffered with severe migraines since I was just two years old, experiencing 3–5 episodes every week throughout childhood and into adulthood. During my final year at university, my mom suggested I visit her chiropractor for some lower back pain I was experiencing. After just one month of care, something incredible happened—my migraines disappeared completely.

I was stunned.

That experience changed the course of my life. I changed my career path immediately and went on to graduate as a Doctor of Chiropractic in 2001. More than 20 years later, I still feel just as passionate about helping people discover what chiropractic care can do for their health and quality of life.

I spent 18 years building and running my own successful practice in California, caring for families in my community and creating a practice I was incredibly proud of. In 2019, when my twin sons left for university, I decided it was the perfect time for a new adventure. I closed my practice, moved to Scotland, and began the next chapter of my life.

For the past six years, I’ve had the privilege of working as Lead Chiropractor at a wonderful practice in Aberdeenshire. During that time, Scotland truly became home. After gaining my permanent residency, I made the exciting decision to stay here permanently and once again build a practice of my own.

In 2016, I began training in Activator Methods Technique. Initially, I wanted another way to care for patients who either preferred a gentler approach or didn’t enjoy traditional manual adjustments. Over the years, I’ve grown to love this technique—not only for my patients, but for myself as well, since it is also a gentle technique to perform. I plan on doing this for another 20 years, so taking care of my own spine matters too!

So why Stonehaven?

Honestly… for one very selfish reason—I absolutely love it here. I love the sea, the people, the sense of community… everything about it. I often tell my family I live in the “California of Scotland”—a beach town with a fault line! (The Highland Boundary Fault, for anyone curious.)

I feel incredibly grateful to call this place home, and I look forward to caring for you and your family for many years to come.

After spending over 20 years working as a professional photographer, Lee Corpe’s life changed following a serious shoulder and neck injury sustained while trimming a hedge. For nearly two years, he struggled daily with pain, headaches, limited mobility, and blurred vision, relying heavily on medication while searching for answers.

Everything changed when Lee began treatment with a sports massage therapist who made a profound difference in his recovery. Through consistent care, he was eventually able to come off medication and regain much of his quality of life. Inspired by the impact this experience had on him, Lee decided to retrain as a Sports Massage Therapist during the COVID pandemic, when photography work had largely come to a halt.

Lee’s goal became simple: to help others the way he had once been helped.

After qualifying, Lee joined a chiropractic clinic as a massage therapist, where he worked alongside other massage therapists and chiropractors including Tracy. Although massage therapy had improved many of his symptoms, Lee still struggled with chronic headaches and ongoing neck pain. Through a course of care, his headaches resolved completely. Even more remarkably, the blurred vision that had required prescription glasses following his injury gradually cleared under care.

Experiencing first hand the powerful effects that chiropractic care and nervous system health can have on overall wellbeing deeply changed Lee’s perspective on healthcare. When Tracy invited him to join her in business, Lee continued his professional development by becoming an Osteomyologist certified in Advanced Activator Methods, allowing him to help patients not only with muscular issues, but also by addressing the deeper neurological connections within the body.

Today, Lee combines his personal experience, therapeutic skills, and compassionate approach to help patients move better, feel better, and regain confidence in their health and daily lives.
