Meet the Doctors and Staff

Dr. Doug Matzner completed his pre-professional studies at Eastern Illinois University before completing five years of professional training in 1981 at the National College of Chiropractic in Lombard, Illinois.

Most people are unaware of the training that goes into becoming a chiropractic physician. Prior to graduation, Dr. Matzner was trained in internal and laboratory diagnosis, orthopedics, pediatrics, toxicology, clinical nutrition, acupuncture and radiology. He also performed and read EKGs and conducted gynecologic exams.

After being a personal trainer, Ashley believes in doing all that we can do to better our bodies and prevent injury. A healthy lifestyle involves diet and exercise, along with sleep and other various factors. Through exercise we receive numerous benefits including: decreased stress levels, improvement in mood, and an increase in our confidence level. Anything that Ashley can do to aid in the wellness process is rewarding to her.
