Ultimately, from these experiences, he realized that chiropractors are capable of making a huge impact on movement, function, and overall well-being.

When he first started college, he started off as a Medical Technology major. After a tour of a hospital, he realized that this was not leading him to a career he truly saw himself in. Upon remembering his positive experience with chiropractors, he decided to begin shadowing multiple different chiropractors, which lead him to visit Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. There, he was sold on the school and the intrigue of this health care field that accepted as fact that the body has an innate sense of knowing how to heal itself. He graduated from Palmer with a BS in General Science and a Doctorate of Chiropractic in 1989. Since graduating from Palmer, Dr. Mattern enjoys participating in continuing education seminars with the goal of constantly improving his capacity to serve his patients.

In his free time, Dr. Mattern enjoys watching movies, gardening, reading, and exploring all the information the internet has to offer.
