MEET THE DOCTOR
Chiropractor
I am doctor Matthew Holmes a doctor of chiropractic. I have been practicing since 2015 receiving my education from Palmer College of Chiropractic Florida. While studying there I had the opportunity to work a number of different sports events. Working with many different types of athletes competing in a specific sports and endurance competitions. I first developed my skills working with athletes working as an athletic trainer. Before becoming a chiropractor I enjoyed working with athletes. I received my bachelors degree in athletic training from the University of Central Florida where I worked with college athletes and also other patients with athletic injuries. The sports I worked were football, basketball, track & field, rowing, cheerleading, and high school sports. This is where my knowledge of rehabilitation and recovery started to develop. With a combination of these skills from my education I am able to take a well rounded approach to all patients. My treatment program not only focuses on spinal correction. There is also a focus on function and mobility. This method will ensure healthy recovery and sustained wellness. Treating my patients this way allows me to give them everything they need to feel healthy and stay healthy. I graduated in 2010 from the University of Central Florida with a bachelor in Athletic Training. After receiving a bachelors I started at Palmer College of Chiropractic Florida. During my time at Palmer College I took numerous electives to help broaden my knowledge in health. This is where I was able to learn acupuncture and how it can be used in conjunction with chiropractic. After graduating I started working as professor at Broward College teaching wellness. In addition to that he also began working with different middle schools and high schools working as an athletic trainer at the games and practices. With my experience working with a wide spectrum of patients he wants to use his knowledge to help unlock the body’s ability to heal. With knowledge of a health through nutrition, exercise, and treatment the goal is to treat the entire body.

PHILOSOPHY
The goal is to restore normal function to your body. When the body is not balanced internally we start to feel pain or unwell. The focus is to find the root cause of that problem so that the patient has the best outcome. There are different factors throughout our daily life that influence our health. These activities of daily life can be either unconsciously beneficial to health or detrimental to health. This why we may have certain health issues that seemingly appear suddenly. To help avoid these problems I want to help the body function at 100% to help optimize wellness.
As a chiropractor I focus on the spine. I look for imbalances in the spine called subluxation. These subluxations put pressure on the nervous system causing dysfunction within the body. The subluxations are removed by an adjustment. At this practice I aim to help patient reach their goals for health. Working with different health problems is welcomed. Whether it is a sports injury, chronic pain, acute pain, or general health issues.
WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC
Care Comes First
Chiropractic is a form of healthcare that focuses on spinal health. Chiropractors focus on imbalances and misalignments in the spine. These misalignments are referred to as subluxation. A subluxation is a misalignment in a vertebral segment that puts added pressure on the spinal nerves and structures around that vertebrae.  It can cause spinal pain, headaches, insomnia, and chronic joint issues. Subluxation can be caused by trauma or daily activities that gradually put stress on the body. The subluxation is removed by adjustment. An adjustment is a specific thrust applied to the area of the body to provide proper alignment. Subluxation is found through palpation and posture assessment. Adjustment can be done by hand or with an instrument depending on the tolerance of the patient.
