Sinus Infection
My granddaughter, Aubrey, was born in January of 2008. I noticed at 2 weeks she would not turn her head at all to the right. I had my daughter ask the pediatrician about it. The pediatrician said she had a tied up neck muscle which happens sometimes and to lay her in the floor on her back and force her head to the left while holding her right shoulder down several times a day. She even saw a second pediatrician at 1½ months of age and he said the same thing.
At 2 months of age, I was really getting concerned. She would only turn her head to the left very little. What was most alarming was she would not hold her head up at all. She reminded me of a rag doll. We continued doing the exercises but really never saw any improvement. She was also getting a rash on her neck where she was holding her chin down to her chest. By this time her head was also becoming misshaped. The pediatrician was still saying do the exercises and make sure she lies on her left side. Aubrey and I met Dr. Matt at a social function when she was 3 months old. He explained to me what was going on with her and assured me that it could be corrected. He asked me to make an appointment. He knew he could help Aubrey. I was a little apprehensive at first due to her age. I am a firm believer in chiropractors, but it was just her age. He explained that he works with children and it would not hurt her at all.
I made an appointment right away. Dr. Matt scanned her and explained to my daughter and I the results. Aubrey had Acute Congenital Muscular Torticollis. The strength in her right arm was much weaker than the left and one leg was longer than the other. The scan showed that her C-1 nerve was not working correctly. Dr. Matt adjusted Aubrey which she slept through while laying face down atop her mother. He said we should start seeing a little improvement in 2 weeks.
After her third visit I could not believe the improvement. She was holding her head up, very unsteady but it was off her chest finally. When we laid her on her stomach she raised her head up to her breast when before she would only rest her chin on the floor. Aubrey even turned her head more to the left as well. She rolled over from her stomach to her back after the fifth visit.
We are now 4½ months of age and just finished her twelfth visit. She has become a pro at holding her head up, nothing wrong with the strength in her arms. She rolls from her back to her stomach constantly. She has also started to stand in our laps when before she just refused to put her feet down. It doesn’t seem it will be much longer before she will start crawling which Dr. Matt said would have been impossible prior to chiropractic treatment.
The only regret I have is not taking Aubrey sooner than we did. Dr. Matt is very gentle and patient. You can tell he loves his job. The staff is very nice and friendly as well.
Thanks. A very proud and relieved first grandmother.

Sinus Infection
In 2005, I began having one sinus infection after another. My doctors tried several different courses of antibiotics. The antibiotics made me feel weak and drowsy and caused anxiety and depression. After the failed antibiotics, my doctor recommended sinus surgery. There had to be something else that didn’t have this effect on my body that could help besides surgery. In January 2007, I began chiropractic care. I immediately had great success – my sinuses were clear and surgery wasn’t even necessary! My immune system became stronger and I feel better than ever now. I was able to avoid a very painful surgery which wouldn’t have taken care of the cause of my sinus infections – a subluxation. I highly recommend chiropractic care to anyone.

Autism
My four-year-old daughter, Gracie, is developmentally delayed – a form of autism. Due to this, Gracie cannot talk and she is not potty trained. She doesn’t have or use the skills as any other normal four-year-old would. We have tried several different types of therapy, none of which really produced results. Then we decided to try chiropractic. Two weeks after we started treatments with Dr. Matt, Gracie’s teachers from her special needs class and daycare started commenting on how outgoing she had become. She is now starting to interact with other kids and participate in classroom activities with the teachers. Gracie keeps showing small signs of improvement with every treatment.

Panic & Anxiety Attacks
My panic and anxiety attacks began late June 2007. The panic attacks were incredibly severe and frightening; anxiety attacks came in between and were also severe. The condition affected my ability to go to work for many weeks and then, upon returning to work, I went only part-time for an extended period of time. I lived in constant fear of another attack, of losing mental capacity, of being alone, of fear itself.
Treatments began with MD visits that were helpful at the time. Condition was treated with Atenol at first, then replaced with Celexa and Ativan. I felt better and, in the short term, that was all that mattered. I did not, however, want to take something everyday for an extended period of time, especially when it was only treating the symptoms. The only effects that I noticed were serious weight gain and occasional, mild mood swings.
I no longer take the med.’s and no longer have panic attacks; the anxiety has diminished significantly. I feel healthier mentally and physically and believe that with continued treatment, exercise and a healthy diet, the anxiety will subside completely over time. It is nice to have a positive outlook again … to be me again.
I would encourage anyone experiencing panic, anxiety and/or stress to stop by for an evaluation. I have learned by experience that chiropractic care targets the cause of the issue rather than the symptom(s). I will be happy to speak in person to anyone that should need some encouragement or would like to understand more about the severity of my initial condition and how much I have been helped.
Thank you for your kind and professional care!

Neck/Shoulder Pain
I began chiropractic treatments with Matt to help resolve the neck/shoulder pain I was having as a result of cycling, and the aches and pains of pregnancy. I now have two children and our whole family continues to see Dr. Matt to help strengthen our immune systems and keep our nervous systems healthy.

Migraine Headaches
For over 10 years I lived with migraine headaches and a tingly numb feeling in my shoulders from stress. I also had terrible allergies all my life and lived on allergy medication to try to relieve the symptoms. I was referred to Dr. Matt for my headaches and shoulder problems by a friend. After a few months of care for Dr. Matt my headaches and my shoulder problems were gone and I started to notice a relief from my allergy problems as well. It has been four years now that I have not had to take allergy medication and I have not had one case of sinusitis nor have I had a migraine. I have learned a lot about chiropractic care and it has been life changing for me and my family.

A Better Life
Dr. Matt. You have such a gift of letting your patients feel how much you care about their health and well being! I have found that not all doctors are blessed with such a gift. I only recommend a doctor to others if I believe he has the desire to find that path to healing for the individual. You have shown yourself to be such a doctor. Thanks for all you do to help others live a better life.

Neck Pain
When I came to see Dr. Matt, I was in physical pain. I was unable to turn my neck without piercing pain. I remember that first visit. I wanted so badly to be adjusted but had to wait two days for the x-ray results and for Dr. Matt to review my case. On that second visit, Dr. Matt was able to show me that I was not only storing stress in my neck, but many other areas along my spine. These subluxations were interfering with my health. After a few more visits, I was able to move my neck without pain. The question I had to answer was should I discontinue treatment since the pain was gone or continue on the plan Dr. Matt had mapped out for me? I decided to continue.
I have been in Dr. Matt’s care now for four months and feel like a totally different person. You see, I had been seeing a chiropractor at my previous home, but since moving, I discontinued treatment for 2 ½ years. During this time, other symptoms began to bother me. Things I really did not associate with chiropractic care. I am 46-years-old and have been experiencing migraines, depression, mood swings and other perimenopausal symptoms. In an effort to control theses, I went to a medical doctor who prescribed anti-depressants and low-dose hormone replacement therapy. I now know that these treatments only masked the symptoms and did not really help to make me better. Sometimes, I would get so down; I would sit on the couch not wanting to get up to do anything. Finally when the pain began, I went to see Dr. Matt. I’ve already told you that he was able to help the pain pretty quickly. The miracle is that with continued care other things have also improved. I am reminded of the story of Jesus and the invalid. Jesus asked him, "Do you want to get well?" At first glance, I thought, why would Jesus ask such a question? Then I realized, there are payoffs for remaining sick.. First, you don’t have to change. Your routine can stay the same and change is hard. Second, you get sympathy from others. If you are well, your relationships will change. Last, you have to be committed to be well. I have had to take control of my health. Dr. Matt helped me to see the importance of eating well and exercise. My change in diet and exercise has allowed me to lose 14 pounds. I am also taking a natural progesterone cream that is biologically identical to what the body produces. Women have a drop in progesterone production as they age and can become totally out of balance hormonally just I was out of balance physically. I began the hormone cream before chiropractic care and noticed a difference in my moods, etc. But, when Dr. Matt was able to get my nervous system to work optimally, my body could utilize the hormone balancing cream to its full capacity. There is so much benefit from taking care of yourself.
My question to you is, "Do you want to get well?" You are at the right place, but the decision to heal yourself is in your hands (and Dr. Matt’s.) I hope you choose to make the changes necessary to become well.
