Two years ago Dr. Mattingly treated my left shoulder and fixed the pain I was experiencing at that time. I am a swimmer and will swim for at least 1 hour at a time; so I over use my shoulders sometimes. This has caused a bone spur. I have tried therapy but it doesn’t seem to work. After I stop therapy the pain comes right back. Since Doc got me out of pain before, I decided to come to him when my right shoulder began to hurt. The adjustments have improved my movement a lot since I started coming and I am out of pain.

I am sixteen years old and I have problem with my right knee going out on me when I stand or walk for a long time. I have had this problem for over a year and have not been able to do some of the activities that I would like to do such as play basketball. I just thought this would be something I would have to learn to live with and just try to stay off it as much as possible. Sometimes it would be painful and I would take Advil.

My mom suggested that I try some chiropractic treatment and I started seeing Dr. Mattingly. I already am showing great improvement. I can walk further, stand longer and my knee doesn’t pop out as much. I rarely have any pain anymore and I am no longer taking Advil. I still have a way to go, but feel so much better already! Thanks to mom and Dr. Mattingly.

I came to see Dr. Mattingly in April because of pain in my knees. I suffered for about two weeks with this problem. I was taking Tylenol once or twice a day with little or no results. It was hard for me to walk and I couldn’t climb stairs. It was a struggle to do anything. I couldn’t do my household chores. I also had to give up walking the track at the Community Center, which I enjoyed doing.

I saw Dr. Mattingly three times a week for about a month before I started seeing any real and constant improvement. I am now able to do all the things that I enjoy and I am down to one visit per month. I think chiropractic care is wonderful. Everyone should try chiropractic before they go to a physician or consider surgery. Chiropractic care changed my life dramatically and Dr. Mattingly is very good.

I suffered from several things before coming to see Dr. Mattingly. I had had Carpal Tunnel Syndrome for two years. For ten years I had endured migraine headaches. This past year I had stiffness in my neck so severe that I was not able to turn my head. These three problems affected my normal life enormously. I found it hard to open jars and grasp items. With the migraines I found it hard to function at all while at home or work. The neck stiffness was painfully noticeable when driving my car.

I saw an orthopedic surgeon for my Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. He performed surgery and the symptoms still remained. This relieved the pain, but did not get rid of the problem. I had not seen a doctor for the neck stiffness until I came to see Dr. Mattingly.

I have only been coming for three months but already I have seen results. The numbness and pain are not as extensive in my hands and arms. I have only had two migraine headaches a month. These were not as severe as they had been. I have had much more movement of my head and neck with less pain. Overall I have had much more freedom of movement. Medication was just masking the symptoms. I am much more aware of my own job as a maintainer of a healthy body. I am better in general. By working hard at walking daily and taking minerals, I am in much better health. I am looking to the future that my diabetes will be helped by my nutrition and supplement program too.

I initiated chiropractic care in January of 1996 and by April my two problems had been corrected. While this may seem to be a long time in receiving chiropractic care, one must consider the problem too.

Problem number one was in my neck. I had numbness and tingling in my left shoulder that would sometimes extend to my left elbow. I had dealt with this problem for over a year until I realized that I had lost much range of motion in my neck. Problem number two was in my lower back. For three months I suffered the loss of range of motion and numbing pain down my left hip and thigh. Both of these health problems were affecting my life. I bowl, golf and work out at a health club. Each week I saw myself slowly becoming less flexible with additional loss of range of motion.

After twenty-eight visits and stretching exercises, my problem are now erased. I realized that it is in my best interest to see Dr. Mattingly once every month to six weeks. I feel that this form of preventative care is far better than waiting a year and a half and suffering pain and loss of motion and activity. I highly recommend the benefits of chiropractic care. The improved health benefits coupled with a higher quality of life speak for themselves. I am highly impressed with chiropractic health care and the flexibility I have gained.

I came to see Dr. Mattingly on January 13, 1997. The reason I sought help from Dr. Mattingly is because of low back pain. I was in a lot of pain and I would cry and pray. I couldn’t sleep and I could barely walk, the pain was so bad. I had to give up a lot of the things that I enjoyed doing. I couldn’t go dancing, walk my dog, or do daily chores. I had to have assistance in walking to the hair dresser, grocery store, etc.

A couple of months after I first came, in my pain started to decrease. I am now almost pain free. I can dance, walk my dog and do my chores again. I benefited greatly from chiropractic care. Dr. Mattingly was wonderful and never gave up on helping me get rid of my pain.

Dr. Mattingly has returned a normal, active life to me. I've enjoyed my career as a dentist, I've enjoyed motorcycling, gardening and many other active hobbies. But as of late, all these activities have been painful, due to my spine losing its normal curvature. Now, I don't have acute pain anymore and I'm gradually getting back flexibility and a wider range of motion in my shoulders and neck.

Dr. Mattingly keeps his approach simple: pressure point therapy to relieve tension and very effective adjustments to correct body problems. I've never had a health care practitioner deliver such high quality service at each and every appointment. He gives thorough attention to all parts of the body. In addition to all this, he makes the appointments fun!

All my best to the best,

As the pastor of a church, I am not in a position to get much exercise. I am often sitting as I prepare for my sermons, or talk with parishioners and their families or friends. Consequently, over the years I have developed some health problems.

I began seeing Dr. Mattingly in March 2002 after deciding that I was not getting the results that I was hoping for through another doctor. I had been taking some medication for arthritis, but it was not helping much. I felt that maybe a chiropractor would help, so I asked around for a reputable chiropractor in the area, and Dr. Mattingly was suggested. When I started treatment, I was experiencing a lot of lower back pain, my thighs had a hot/burning sensation, and my legs were weak and not very dependable. Dr. Mattingly began doing electronic muscle stimulation, chiropractic adjustments and some simple exercises. He also recommended some nutritional supplements that have been very beneficial.

Now, after just a few months, I have seen some real progress. Although I have a ways to go yet, most of the pain is gone in my lower back. I still tire easily when walking for too long a distance, but my legs are more dependable and I feel much better. Dr. Mattingly has helped me a lot, and I would recommend him to my family and friends.

I started my treatment with Dr. Mattingly in December 2005. When I came to visit I could barely move my neck, shoulders and lower back. The pain made my life excruciating. I couldn't bend over, I couldn't raise my arm over my head and I was miserable all the time. It became virtually impossible to do my job and I was in trouble. I started treatments with Dr. Mattingly and a year later I'm able to travel, hike and perform any activity I wish. I have my full mobility back finally without pain and I'm now active in yoga once a week and use the gym up to five times per week. I'd recommend Dr. Mattingly if you have pain that needs to be fixed without the use of drugs and if you want to feel good every day when you get out of bed. Thanks, Dr. Mattingly!
