Dr. Matt Shields, D.C.

Dr. Matt Shields is originally from Saginaw, Michigan and attended Anderson University in Indiana where he received his bachelor’s degree. Upon graduation, he enlisted into the United States Navy where he spent 11 years as a Helicopter Rescue Swimmer. His time completing extensive training and operations culminated with two overseas deployments, multiple missions and over 1,200 flight hours. However it also led him to experience a lot of aches and pains that comes with utilizing heavy flight helmet and vest, night vision goggles, and less than optimal seats. He experienced chiropractic care while on active duty and experienced the difference it made with his overall health and well-being. This introduced him to the healing power of the human body and what true conservative care looks like.

Upon receiving an Honorable Discharge from active duty, his positive experience with chiropractic led him to pursue a Chiropractic degree at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Port Orange, Florida. In his free time, Dr. Matt is still busy as a Navy Reservist. He also loves spending time with his three sons and considers himself a lifelong learner, gleaming knowledge and experience wherever he goes. He also enjoys all forms of exercise, traveling, outdoors and supporting Michigan State University and the Jacksonville Jaguars.
