About Abbeville Family Healthcare

Dr. Matthew Durham first started practicing here in Abbeville in August of 1987.

He chose Abbeville because of the people. It seemed that everyone he met when visiting here was genuinely nice and helpful. After going to chiropractic school in Atlanta for four years that was a welcome change to be sure. He also picked Abbeville as a practice location because of all of the amenities surrounding us; the lakes, the mountains, the beach, the forest… we have it all!

Our Philosophy

Our approach is simple. We believe that health is amongst our most valuable possessions. And while we generally meet people after they’ve lost their health, our commitment is two-fold.

1. Relief Care in Abbeville

When many people seek care in our office they have one goal: relief. So that’s where we start! During this initial stage of intensive care, we have several obligations:

  • Uncover the underlying cause of the health problem
  • Suggest a care plan to produce the fastest results possible
  • Offer ways patients can participate in their recovery
  • Explain the value of post-symptomatic wellness care

2. Wellness Care in Abbeville

We’re committed to teaching our patients that true health is a journey, not a destination. Through educational opportunities (like this website), we hope to communicate the value of ongoing chiropractic care. Our desire is to see our practice members abandon the prevailing sickness care model of health (waiting for symptoms and then taking action), in favor of the emerging wellness model.

You’re the Boss

Regardless of your health goals, please understand that we see ourselves as mere servants. You’re the boss! It’s your body, your health and your future. Our job is to offer you the finest chiropractic care possible, and it’s up to you to decide how much of it you want.
