What is Chiropractic:

“Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system, and the effects of these disorders on general health. Chiropractic services are used most often to treat neuromusculoskeletal complaints, including but not limited to back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints of the arms or legs, and headaches.”

Meet the Chiropractor

Learn Who We Are

  • James Mattern

    Dr. Mattern first gained experience with the positive impact chiropractic can have on an individual in the late 1970’s when his father began seeing a chiropractor. Dr. Mattern again experienced the positive impact of chiropractic when he was in extreme pain in high school following a tough wrestling practice. Ultimately, from these experiences, he realized that chiropractors are capable of making a huge impact on movement, function, and overall well-being.

Testimonials

Reviews By Our Satisfied Patients

  • "I've suffered from migraines my entire life. As I've gotten older they have increased in frequency to about 3 times a week. No pain killers, either over- the-counter or prescribed have ever been able to take away one of my migraines in the same day. But if I visit Dr. Mattern, and he adjust me, my headaches are usually gone within a few hours and they stay gone for quite awhile. Unbelievable! I would recommend at least trying chiropractic care if you suffer from migraines too. "
