Dr. Matt Davidson, DC has a passion for lifelong health for every human! He proves that on a daily basis through his personal lifestyle and how he chooses to communicate health with patients. Dr. Matt has undergraduate degrees from Thomas More College and a Doctorate from Logan College of Chiropractic. Before, during and after his education, he has competed in over 300 endurance racing events ranging from 5k to 50k runs, and sprint triathlons to the Ironman World Championships. He is a member of the Suunto Multisport Team, loves supporting his local triathlon and trail racing community, and all youth athletic events. Dr. Matt also owes much of his success to his loving wife (ok, ok, we might have added that last part in without his permission). He loves watching his kids grow and develop their individual passions- Cooper as a 11th grade Cross Country & Track runner, and Marin as an 8th grade soccer player, cross country runner, and equestrian. He and Dr. Lauren are anxious to see what their baby boy (born November 13th, 2019) will find his passions in (he currently loves trucks and being outside!)
