Where does Dr. Matt get his passion! 
Learn a little more about his personal story. 
My story began in 1995, after spending a wonderful afternoon surfing and enjoying the outdoors. I jumped off my surfboard into what I thought was deep water. The water was actually less than two feet deep. With a sound I will never forget I felt instant pain in my neck and tingling down both arms as my head was driven hard into the sand bar. My initial thoughts were “I must be paralyzed”. Fortunately I was not. The constant neck pain and headaches that soon developed were unbearable. Having grown up in a family with a father who is a Medical Doctor and a mother who is a Registered Nurse the approach to my symptoms were pain relieving drugs. This however was ineffective as the doses needed to be increased to provide symptom relief. As a young man I quickly realized I could not live the rest of my life stuck in this cycle. So what changed…..my closest friends’ father is a Chiropractor and he suggested I try a different approach. The chiropractic care I received from him changed my life forever. The unbearable symptoms that I spoke of were relieved in a very short amount of time. The only side effects I experienced from Chiropractic care were increased energy, better sleep and less illness! It was at this point I heard the calling to become a doctor of chiropractic and share the wonderful benefits of chiropractic care with others the same way they had been shared with me.
