“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 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 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.
