“Precision has my back (Literally lol)”

“As a fitness professional the nature of the business is to give to others and I had gotten to the point where I was giving so much and lacking taking care of myself.

After months of finding excuses, I decided to see what a chiropractor could do for my lack of ROM in my shoulder and to dial into my lower back pain.

Dr. Matt has provided me with numerous tools to assist in alleviating pain in areas that I was struggling with. Not only has he provided me with adjustments, but he has provided me with a change of habits.

This is just the beginning of my spine wellness journey and I am happy to have such a knowledgeable team at Precision to have my back. (Literally lol)”

“Back squat has almost doubled”

“Amazing experience! My back was in need of TLC.

I’m a masters cyclist in training, my performance on the bike is really improving from my knees tracking better, my gym work specifically my back squat has almost doubled in weight on the bar.

Always a pleasant experience here, and spot on assessment of my issues!! Thank you!!”

“10 point drop in my resting heart rate 🤯”

“From the minute I walked in the door I have felt seen, heard, and taken care of.

After years of pain in my back, neck, and shoulders I finally have some relief! I’ve even seen some unexpected benefits like a ten point drop in my resting heart rate 🤯 and a full night’s sleep.

I’m feeling so much better, my workouts have been much more effective and pain free and I look forward to more progress moving forward!”

I’ve always been nervous to visit a chiropractor. I count my lucky stars that I chose Precision. The visits have been an absolute game changer. After each and every visit, I feel more and more like myself again. I feel younger, healthier, and I can finally sleep the entire night again. Not to mention, the entire team is such a joy to be around. I highly recommend them for a better quality of life!

I highly recommend giving this place a try—you'll be amazed by the level of attention, care, and service they provide. I was referred here by a good friend after dealing with a C6-C7 pinched nerve in my neck for more than four years. I had numbness in my arm and fingers, excruciating pain, countless physical therapy sessions, orthopedic visits, MRIs, and more medications than I can count. It always felt like the treatments were addressing the symptoms rather than the root cause. Dr. Matt and his team took a different approach. They identified the underlying issue and have helped me tremendously. I'm back to playing the sports I love, my overall daily function has improved significantly, and I'm living pain-free. I'm confident we can keep it that way. Thank you for giving me my quality of life back!

Precision Chiropractic provides absolutely top-notch care. From the moment you walk in the door, the front desk team is warm, friendly, and highly organized. Dr. Matthew takes the time to listen, explains everything clearly, and provides treatments that actually make a difference. It is rare to find a clinic where every single staff member operates at such a high level of excellence. Highly recommended!

I have been seeing Dr. Matt for 6 months now. He has helped me, physically and mentally, so much. Physically, I feel better than I have in years and I know this sounds crazy, but I am no longer 5'6.5 but back to the height I have been for most of my life, 5'7! He closely listens to all your concerns and when he touches you, he knows exactly where your pain is. I always leave there pain free. He is truly the best all-around Dr. that I have ever had. If you are ever having a bad day, he and his staff, the sweetest girls, Jen, Stepanie and Krista, always treat you with compassion and kind words and always cheer me up. You honestly start considering them friends, heck even family, right away. If you've been saying to yourself, " I really need to see a chiropractor", but keep putting it off, dont any longer. You will be happy that you finally did and elated that you chose the, by far, best chiropractor I have ever had. P.S. I had carpal tunnel surgery last year and recently was almost sure I was going to have to have it on my other hand but Jen did a stemwave procedure on me and Dr Matt works his magic on it each visit am Im pretty sure Ill be able to avoid another surgery! He is truly fascinating and amazing!

Dr. Matt is one of the most caring doctors that I have ever been to. He goes above and beyond outside of regular appointments to make sure that each and every one of his patients are doing the best that they can. I came in to see him with back pain and within a few weeks my pain had been cut to almost none.

Common Questions About Sports Chiropractic Care

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

Sports chiropractic care takes a personalized approach to your sports injuries. Traditional chiropractors are effective in reducing muscle spasms, temporarily increasing range of motion, and reducing pain, but are not well trained on getting to the root cause of a sports injury and customizing a program of care for the spine and extremities to restore optimal function. As a structural chiropractor with extensive training in extremity care and working with athletes, we are positioned to support you on your journey back to your sport.

Absolutely. We have training in adults and pediatrics, so whether you have a child who has experienced a sports injury, or an adult with an overuse injury, we would be happy to help. Check out some of our amazing reviews here.

Yes. We have extensive training, study, and experience working on shoulders, hips, knees, ankles, and feet. We always check the entire kinetic chain. This means we start at the foundation, which is the spine, and check each joint along the arms and legs to determine exactly what needs to be addressed to get you back to being healthy again.

Great question. The only way to know is to start off with a conversation. That is why we always do a complimentary consultation to determine whether or not your condition is something we can help you with before you spend any money. If we believe there is a good chance we can help you, we will schedule a thorough examination. If we don’t believe we can help you, we will let you know and make a recommendation that we feel will be the best fit for you.
