Why did Dr. Mattson become a chiropractor?

Dr. Mattson knows what it's like when pain takes over your life, because it took over hers as a teenager. At 15, she was in a severe accident that left her with debilitating headaches and migraines. She was a high school athlete, and she started missing school, practices, and games, the things that made up her whole world at that age. Her medical doctor told her the headaches would eventually go away, but they never did.

Later, while seeing a chiropractor for back pain, she mentioned her headaches. After a specific adjustment to her upper cervical spine (the top of the neck), she finally found relief. That experience gave her freedom back and sparked the passion that led her to become a Doctor of Chiropractic.

“I became a chiropractor because chiropractic care gave me my life back.”

Dr. Lacie Mattson

She has been under chiropractic care ever since, and she still receives regular care today. For Dr. Mattson, maintaining the health of her spine is part of how she lives, and she believes in practicing what she preaches.

What makes Dr. Mattson's approach to chiropractic care different?

Dr. Mattson describes her approach as treating patients from the inside out. Your pain is a signal that there is a problem in your spine, and her job is to identify the underlying problem causing it, whether that's poor posture, spinal misalignment, or faulty movement patterns that have built up over years. When that underlying problem is corrected, you have a far better chance at lasting improvement, fewer flare-ups, and better long-term function.

That is why her care centers on structural correction and rehab. She uses Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP), one of the most researched techniques in the chiropractic profession, to help restore healthy spinal alignment and curves. She pairs it with corrective exercises that build the strength, mobility, and control your body needs to hold those changes. Depending on what your exam shows, your personalized care plan may include:

• Chiropractic adjustments (Diversified and CBP) to restore healthy motion to spinal joints
• Spinal traction to reduce pressure on joints and discs and help improve your spinal curves, which is especially valuable for disc problems and long-standing structural stress
• Physical therapy and corrective exercises to improve strength, mobility, and the way your body moves
• Home exercises that reinforce the work done in the office and keep your progress going between visits
• Soft tissue therapy, including Graston technique and massage as part of your care plan, to ease muscle tension so adjustments and structural changes hold longer
• RockTape kinesiology taping to support muscles and joints during activity
• Posture training, ergonomic coaching, breathing mechanics, and lifestyle recommendations that address the daily habits feeding the problem

The problems in your spine usually develop over years, so correcting them takes time too. Dr. Mattson builds every plan around long-term correction, stability, and prevention, and she makes sure you understand why you're receiving each part of your care so you can take an active role in your own recovery.

What conditions does Dr. Mattson help with?

Dr. Mattson commonly helps patients with:

• Headaches and migraines
• Neck pain
• Back pain
• Sciatica
• Disc injuries, including bulging and herniated discs
• Posture problems
• Sports injuries
• Vertigo and dizziness

Headaches and migraines are personal for her. She lived with them as a teenager, and she knows how much time they steal from school, work, and family. Volleyball players hold a special place too. She plays the sport herself and understands the demands that jumping, landing, diving, and overhead hitting put on the shoulders, back, and knees.

Her patients include families, athletes, desk workers, and people living with chronic pain or postural stress, and most of them are looking for a long-term answer to their pain. Patients under her care commonly see improvements in posture, spinal alignment, and movement, along with lasting relief from neck, back, and joint pain, better mobility and balance, and more energy. Many get back to the activities they had been avoiding. Every patient's results are their own, and Dr. Mattson will tell you what she reasonably expects for you once she has examined your spine.

What happens at your first visit with Dr. Mattson?

Your first visit starts with a conversation. Dr. Mattson takes a detailed health history and talks with you about your pain and your goals. She then performs a thorough structural and functional exam, which may include a posture assessment, movement analysis, and spinal X-rays if needed.

You'll come back for a second visit, your review of findings, where Dr. Mattson walks you through what is happening in your body, what the recommended care involves, and what results you can reasonably expect. No two patients are the same, so your plan is built around your history, exam findings, lifestyle, stress, activity level, and personal goals, and it evolves as your body responds. Some patients focus on correcting long-standing structural problems, while others want to maintain the health of their spine and prevent future problems.

Where did Dr. Mattson go to school?

Dr. Mattson completed her undergraduate studies at Buena Vista University in Storm Lake, Iowa, and earned her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Northwestern Health Sciences University, where she studied with an emphasis on sports rehabilitation and biomechanics. She has completed additional training in Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP), RockTape, Graston technique, and rehab, and she has trained in the McKenzie Method.

What motivates Dr. Mattson every day?

What drives Dr. Mattson most is watching people get their freedom back, whether that means returning to activities they love, feeling confident in their body again, or finally understanding what has been holding them back. Many patients come to her frustrated and limited by pain, and her goal is for them to leave feeling understood, supported, and in control of their health.

She lives in the community she serves, and she loves building real relationships with local families, athletes, and neighbors and seeing the long-term impact of their care.

Her favorite health tip for patients is simple: consistency matters more than perfection. You brush your teeth a couple of times a day, every day, and the health of your spine works the same way. Small, regular habits and regular care add up over time.

Life outside the office

When she's not in the office, Dr. Mattson enjoys reading, playing volleyball, taking walks with her dog, and spending time with her husband and their growing family. Her favorite way to stay active is consistent movement, whether that's exercise, time outdoors, or a game of volleyball, because she believes regular, intentional movement is key to long-term health.
