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 had parked my car and was gathering some materials when another vehicle landed on the hood of my car!! I had already released my seat belt, so was thrown up to the roof of my car and my neck was seriously injured. The next morning I could not move my neck. I had to move my whole body to turn my neck. I was stiff and sore and in a lot of pain.

I called Mattingly Chiropractic and the receptionist worked me into the schedule right away. Dr. Mattingly examined me and took X-rays. He began EMS (electronic muscle stimulation) and chiropractic adjustments three times a week for the first few weeks. Then as I improved he reduced the frequency of the visits. Soon my mobility was restored and most of the pain associated with the injury was gone.

I am so glad that I knew of Dr. Mattingly. My husband has been a patient of Doc’s for a year or so, and has had great results. I am doing very well now. I have full mobility of my neck and very minor pain that actually depends on certain activities such as lifting or driving. I love Dr. Mattingly’s staff. They are friendly and caring. I would not hesitate to recommend chiropractic care to my friends and family. As a matter of fact, I did refer my daughter to him and she has had great results for relief from her headaches. Thanks for the relief, Dr. Mattingly!

When I walked in around the end of May my right shoulder was in such pain that hardly any movement would cause extreme pain. After about 2 months of pressure point therapy and adjustments the pain is gone and my flexibility is almost back to normal. With the pain that intense, the thought of surgery entered my mind. So to say that I am thrilled with the results is an understatement. Thanks to the staff and especially Dusty.

It’s hard to believe – I am actually able to rotate my neck, drive and sit at the computer. Aging should not be a miserable journey and thanks to Mattingly Chiropractic I am on an adventure! Thank you!

I came in with severe shoulder, neck and back pain. I hadn't been to a chiropractor in about six years. I was in serious need. I had cancer surgery in 2004 on my neck and it was extremely tight! The pains in my neck, shoulder and back really restricted my movements. I had one pressure point therapy session and I feel wonderful. I will be continuing with the therapy to keep those muscles relaxed and range of motion better. Thanks, Dr. Mattingly!

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.

For six months I had experienced pain in my right leg and knee which became worse as each day passed. I had great pain when I tried to walk, and going up or down stairs was a nightmare. I could not drive more than a few miles as my right leg would start to go into muscle spasms. I did not sleep well, as every time I moved I had pain. The on-going pain both night and day had really stressed me out.

I made several visits to my regular medical doctor. X-rays of my lumbar spine were taken and I was told there was nothing on the x-rays that would be a cause for my leg pain. I was offered pain killers by my medial physician. One of my sons suggested I see a chiropractor.

In December, I came to see Dr. Mattingly. After several visits to Dr. Mattingly, the pain began to lessen and I started to be able to sleep. At Christmas time I started to feel better and could enjoy a little bit of shopping. During the month of January I was able to go up and down stairs in a normal way. I have now resumed all normal activities. I am driving, both my car and my tractor, and I am enjoying my spring gardening. Thank you Dr. Mattingly for giving me back my normal life pattern.

I started going to Mattingly Chiropractic in May of this year. I had been to medical doctors for a problem with my knees which is known as Osgood-Schlatter’s disease. This disease causes my knees to hurt constantly, making little things like walking or squatting painful. The medical doctor told me they could not do anything for me until I stopped growing, at which point they could do surgery. However, since I have been going to Dr. Mattingly, he has been adjusting me knees, making the pain almost non-existent.

I have also had a problem for the last several years with enlarged lymph nodes – another problem the medical doctors had no answers for. They put me through several tests to determine what the cause could be, but NO results! They decided that my only option was to remove my swollen lymph nodes. I did NOT have this surgery, because your lymph nodes are important to your body’s health as they help your body flush out toxins. I talked to Dr. Mattingly about this and he put me on some nutritional supplements and in a very short time my lymph nodes were no longer swollen!

After the great success with the nutrition for my lymph nodes, my father asked Dr. Mattingly if there was any nutrition that would help me heal after a recent shoulder surgery to tighten my muscles and ligaments. The surgeon said it would be at least 3 to 4 months before I would be able to do much with my shoulder. After 5 days on these nutritional supplements I went for a checkup with my surgeon. He was AMAZED to see that I had no swelling and I had much more motion than he had anticipated after such a short time. It has only been six weeks since my surgery and I had full range of motion with no restrictions!

Although I had never been to a chiropractor before, I have had such great results that I strongly recommend chiropractic care to anyone.

I started treatment in 1996 for a Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) condition (a TMJ condition can cause pain and discomfort in the jaw, neck, and back). My jaw went out which resulted in an improper alignment of my teeth. I am a dental assistant and have been actively for 15 years. This condition did not come as a surprise to me. In my past years of experience, dental patients with the same or even worse conditions have been referred to a “TMJ specialist.” Treatment at these offices have involved weeks and months and resulted in slight to moderate relief. This can involve a series of impressions and the wearing of dental splits and braces.

I sought treatment with Dr. Mattingly after talking in great length about the chiropractic solution to my condition. We discussed how this differed from how I had been taught to treat the condition dentally. It made good sense to me, after listening to Dr. Mattingly’s in depth yet understandable explanation, to treat the cause of my symptoms, which was the misalignment of my spine. After four treatments my jaw was back into position and my teeth aligned correctly. I am continuing treatment to secure Dr. Mattingly’s resolution. I am glad I made the decision to see Dr. Mattingly, for he, in my eyes, is definitely the “specialist” for treatment of TMJ conditions.
