Chiropractic is one of the safest forms of healthcare available. It is also the most natural form of healthcare. This is the reason chiropractic malpractice coverage is one of the lowest costing coverages available. Dr. Matt is board certified, licensed, and trained through an accredited chiropractic university in a variety of different techniques; each one designed to provide the safest adjustment possible!
We like to keep the cost of our care affordable and unrestricted to allow you to every possible option of care we can provide and because of this we do not bill or are in network with most insurance companies. We can provide our patients with a super-bill to file with your insurance company directly for reimbursement if you wish to do so. We do however accept HSA/FSA accounts.
Most of our patients say they feel so much better after an adjustment and Dr. Matt uses a variety of different techniques to meet each patient’s different and specific needs. Each adjustment given is different, and depending on the need of care or the lack of it, there may be some soreness in the area(s) after an adjustment. This is similar to a soreness after a workout in a gym. If you have never been to a chiropractor before, you may experience some discomfort or soreness but this is natural and temporary as your body is adapting to the treatment.
No! The body is a machine and all of its part need to be working together to function at 100%. A subluxation or misalignment can happen anywhere there is improper movement. Shoulders, elbows, wrists, feet, TMJ, etc, all contain joints that move and these joints can misalign just as the spine. These subluxations can cause a disfunction in the body which can lead to multiple issues such as difficulty doing normal daily activities. Dr. Matt is a Certified Chiropractic Extremity Practitioner, so he has had extra education for adjusting extremities.
You are the decision maker of your health and decide what you do with it. You could stop care at anytime, but why would you? Would you stop brushing your teeth or changing the oil in your car?

We want to provide more than just pain relief, but natural wellness. When your body is free of harmful nerve interference it works at its optimal level and a better quality of life is achieved.
Yes it does! During pregnancy, a woman’s body undergoes several changes and her hips and pelvis can get misaligned easily as body structures begin to relax due to hormone level changes. These subluxations can affect how the baby sits in the abdomen and can also cause not only back pain but can also cause difficulty in labor as well. Chiropractic can help remove these subluxations to allow a better birthing experience! Healthy babies start with healthy mothers!
Absolutely! Babies and children get adjusted as well, in fact, they need it even more so than adults because they are still growing and developing. Adjustments help with ear infections, colic, constipation, movement issues, and a whole lot more! Because children are still developing, it is much easier and they show faster results than after maturity sets in. The adjustments provided to infants and children are much more gentle than a normal adult patient.
