The Abbeville Chiropractor to see - Chiropractor Abbeville

Dr. Matthew Durham

I actually did my undergraduate work at Clemson in Pre-Pharmacy!

Growing up, my best friend's Dad was a medical doctor.  He used to let us go with him on House Calls and to the Hospital with him sometimes.  That is when I started thinking about helping others as a career.  He had (and still has) a great reputation as a skilled physician, but it was my chiropractor that got me on track to think about being a doctor of chiropractic.  I liked the fact that chiropractic was more of a natural approach to health care. 

I did my undergraduate work at Clemson and then went to Life Chiropractic College (now University) in Marietta, Georgia, right outside of Atlanta.  I was surprised to find that the chiropractic education was very similar to a medical education.  All the basic sciences are the same; we just got into nutrition and adjustments when they got into drugs and surgery. 

Our Abbeville office has truly embraced the "wellness model" of health care by having a multidisciplinary office that offers chiropractic care, medical care, and massage therapy all in the same location.  We help you get well, stay well, and live well.  Some patients come for just one service and some come for all three.  We tailor each care plan to each patient so that you receive the best care possible. 

I am happily married to Melissa and we have four wonderful (well, most of the time) children.  Three girls and a boy.  My wife home schools our children and heads up the local American Heritage Girls troop.  I enjoy getting out in the woods and deer hunting.  The peace and quiet is very therapeutic and occasionally I put a little meat in the freezer.  We attend New Covenant Tabernacle and love it!  If you ever want to come and spend Sunday morning with me and 200 of my closest friends, just let me know. 

Regular adjustments are part of my overall health plan for me and my family.  I have adjusted all of my children from the day they were born to maintain their spinal health and give them the best chance possible for good health.  God has blessed them all with good health and none of them have ever had to go to a medical doctor for anything.  We have chosen not to vaccinate our children because of the health risks associated with vaccinations.  My wife and I work out semi-regularly at the YMCA and for the most part we eat a healthy diet.  People can't believe that our children have never been to McDonald's! 

Enough about me!  How can we help you?  Please feel free to call us or e-mail me at the link below with any questions you might have.  Thanks for stopping by.
