“Wonderful, family-friendly environment”

After finding out I was expecting twins, I knew chiropractic care would be so important in ensuring a comfortable pregnancy.

I looked around the area for Webster-certified practitioners, and came across Dr. Matt. From the first appointment, I could tell this practice would be a great fit.

Dr. Matt is very knowledgeable, friendly and strategic with his care. Jen is so welcoming and warm. They have a wonderful, family-friendly environment, which made for my adjustments to be even smoother, since I needed to bring my other children with me at times. Highly recommend!

“I can maintain a normal lifestyle pregnant”

I started seeing Dr. Matt when I was about 16 weeks pregnant and it’s been the best thing for me this pregnancy!

I’ve had close to zero back pain which is the opposite of what I experienced my first pregnancy. I’m so thankful I found this practice and Dr. Matt so I can keep up with my toddler and maintain a normal lifestyle pregnant.

I look forward to going throughout my entire pregnancy and postpartum as I recover, and beyond as needed. Can’t say enough about them and this practice! Highly recommend.

I have always been kind of apprehensive about chiropractic care. That said, my back had been hurting for so long that I decided to jump in with the folks at Precision Chiropractic. Dr. Matt is so friendly and cool. He explains what's going on with your frame and creates an action plan to get you back to where you need to be. The office staff, Jen and Steph, are also incredibly comforting and friendly. If this ain't a full-throated recommendation to try Precision, then I don't know what could be!

Found the clinic specifically for their shockwave/stemwave therapy to help my heel pain. Through a thorough exam (X-rays and visible tests) turns out I also have some alignment issues. The office is welcoming, knows everyone, super clean and such a refreshing part of my week! I’m already seeing improvements and love that whatever question or challenge I bring up Dr. Matt and team are always open to answering in the most educational ways! Highly recommend.

When I saw the message on Facebook, I thought, "This guy is going to help me," because I was already losing hope! I had made numerous trips to hospitals, but they never found anything; they just prescribed strong painkillers that didn't help at all. When I arrived at the clinic, I was warmly welcomed by everyone. Today—while still undergoing treatment—I feel better and better; I can even see a huge improvement in my brain function—I see things more clearly and can handle daily challenges! I am so grateful to everyone! P.S. I fell down a flight of stairs, and the damage to my spine was severe!

Skeptical and nervous I made an initial appointment with Dr. Matt at the urging of a trusted health professional. When I walked into the office, I began to relax when Jen, Krista, and Stephanie greeted me by name. That was the beginning of my healing journey--lower back, hip and neck pain from an old injury. Every adjustment was explained thoroughly and executed gently by Dr. Matt. Decompression was administered with great care. This week I was able to hike 12 miles pain free, something I could not do just a few weeks ago. I'll return to the pickleball court soon. This team is kind, concerned, and highly professional. They even know my dog's name! Call them for your chiropractic care

Common Questions About Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy

Here are the answers to questions we hear every day in our Matthews clinic

Pregnancy is such a beautiful and miraculous process. A woman is literally growing a tiny human inside of her, created from 2 cells. It is an incredible thing. It can also be a very challenging thing. Her body is rapidly changing. Different hormones are being produced and the spine and pelvis are literally moving around to create space for a tiny human. During this process, the spine and pelvis can become imbalanced and restricted leading to pain, discomfort, and dysfunction. By providing gentle and specific chiropractic adjustments to the spine and pelvis, it allows for the optimal internal environment for both mom and baby to thrive.
The birth process is probably the most physically demanding experience any person will ever have to go through. When the sacrum, pelvis, and low back are aligned properly, the internal structures and ligaments are balanced. This allows the best opportunity for the baby to be positioned properly and for the pelvis to be structurally free to adapt expanding which allows space for the baby to pass through.
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment that a prenatal chiropractor uses to reduce interference to the nervous system, balance maternal pelvic muscles and ligaments, and optimize the neuro-biomechanical function in the pelvis. This technique can help alleviate common pregnancy discomforts such as low back pain, sciatica, and sleep issues.
Specific chiropractic adjustments do not hurt when you are pregnant. Due to the different hormones your body produces when it is pregnant, it is many times easier to perform a specific adjustment with very low force. Many of our pregnant patients love the experience of getting adjusted and find it helps them to have a much more enjoyable and comfortable pregnancy.
We get this question a lot from pregnant women! We have specialized tables that allow space for you to lie down. If it is too uncomfortable to lie face down, we have many techniques to be able to adjust you in a position that you find comfortable.
Under the proficient guidance of Dr. Matt Westheimer, we provide the highest standard of prenatal chiropractic care. Dr. Westheimer has undergone extensive training through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association and is Webster Technique Certified. His expertise ensures that expectant mothers receive the tailored care they need during this transformative period.
