Dr. Matt Blackmon

Doctor of Chiropractic

Dr. Matt Blackmon is dedicated to helping patients recover from injury, restore proper movement, and return to the activities they love. His approach goes beyond pain relief-he focuses on identifying and correcting the underlying movement dysfunctions that cause discomfort, helping patients achieve lasting results and improved performance.

Dr. Matt was introduced to chiropractic care by his uncle, a Detroit-based chiropractor. After personally experiencing its benefits as a teenager, he developed a deep appreciation for the body’s ability to heal when the nervous and musculoskeletal systems function properly. That early experience inspired his career in chiropractic.

He earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life University in Atlanta in 2015, where he trained extensively in biomechanics, injury care, and functional rehabilitation. He is certified in Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA), an advanced system used to identify mobility restrictions, stability issues, and movement limitations that often contribute to pain and injury.

Dr. Matt provides a comprehensive, rehab-focused approach to care for athletes, active individuals, and patients recovering from acute and chronic injuries. He treats conditions such as neck and back pain, sports injuries, muscle imbalances, and movement dysfunction. By combining chiropractic adjustments with functional assessments and corrective strategies, he helps patients not only recover- but move better, prevent future injuries, and perform at their best.

He is certified in SFMA, Diversified Technique, Thompson Technique, and the Webster Technique. The Webster Technique is a gentle chiropractic approach often used during pregnancy. It focuses on improving pelvic alignment and reducing tension in the surrounding muscles and ligaments. By restoring balance to the pelvis, it may help create more space and comfort for both mom and baby and support optimal positioning during pregnancy.

Dr. Matt is also an active member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association and Business Network International, reflecting his commitment to continued learning and community involvement.

Outside the office, Dr. Matt enjoys spending time with his wife, Danielle, and their four children-Lyla, Lucas, Norah, and Evelyn. He enjoys cycling, camping, canoeing, and hiking, and values maintaining an active, healthy lifestyle.
