No More Headaches!
I met Dr. Matt about 5 years ago, looking for relief from chronic low back pain, an extremely stiff neck, and severe migraines. During our first consultation, it was obvious that Dr. Matt was concerned about my overall health and would do his best to help me get well. Not only did he address all of my specific concerns, he also educated me on the other benefits of regular chiropractic care. I began to experience relied in my feet and legs almost immediately, followed by progress in my neck. Gradually, my headaches reduced in severity. Dr. Matt addressed my body’s physical issues, but also worked with me on the importance of having a positive attitude. Belief that one can heal is such an important aspect of total wellness. I feel like a new man these days, and am forever grateful to Dr. Matt for the compassion, patience, and care that he has given me. I will continue to see Dr. Matt as long as he will have me as a patient.

We Couldn’t be Happier
After moving to Ventura, we were looking for a chiropractor and happened to walk by Dr. Matt’s office. We stopped in, and he gave us free initial exams, x-rays, and consultations. He is professional and really knows his stuff. I assess a chiropractor’s abilities by whether he can tell me my problem spots, not me having to tell him. He nails it every time. He makes you feel very comfortable, gives you practical advice and assigns exercises without the need for expensive equipment. He even (very gently) adjusts our 17 month old daughter. Since his office also has massage, it’s sort of one-stop shopping. We couldn’t be happier; I recommend Dr. Matt to anyone looking for chiropractic care in Ventura.

I Am Getting My Life Back!
My name is James. I am 50 years old and have broken my back 3 separate times. Over the last 10 years, I have undergone several operations. I was taking 8 percoset a dar, 4-5 Soma, and numerous other pain pills. 3 months ago, I came in to see Dr. matt, and though I’m still on a patch, I no longer need any Percocet or Soma! I feel so much better getting off the drugs, and my back feels looser. I am thrilled to see so much progress so quickly! I would recommend Dr. Matt to anybody-he has done a lot for me, and he can do a lot for you too.

I Have Tried Everything!
I have had a persistent chronic headache since 2005 and I have tried everything to help alleviate the pain. I was pessimistic but I had tried everything and I was truly desperate to get some relief. I have been totally amazed at the amount of relief I have received by seeing Dr. Matt. I feel like I have my life back! I actually have days now when my head doesn’t hurt which is totally amazing. Dr. Matt is caring and considerate and has a passion for what he does. He has totally changed my life!

My overall well-being has definitely improved
I had never been to a chiropractor before, so I did my research and I found good reviews for Coastal Chiropractic on other sites, and then a friend gave me a recommendation. I had been having mid-back pain since I had injured myself on a trampoline. After getting my initial X ray I was shocked to see what my spine really looked like, so it made it easy to identify what my problems were stemming from. My neck had no curve, and my mid spine vertebrae were compressed. After following a month of Dr. Matt’s treatment and doing a follow-up X ray, it was amazing to actually see the improvement, along with feeling better as well. Dr. Matt is very accommodating, and is super friendly. He’ll get me adjusted and ready to go on my next snowboarding trip or just for everyday surfing. It’s nice to have a chiropractor to talk about the waves with too. And those days when I come in super sore from whatever strenuous activity I put myself through that week, Dr. Matt takes that into account and works out my soreness and shows me stretches to do on my own. My overall well-being has definitely improved since coming to Coastal Chiropractic.

I Feel Great To This Day!
My name is Dustin and I am from Ventura, Ca. I originally came in to see Dr. Matt because I had a stiff neck from numerous years of bad posture. I slept on 2 pillows one night and I woke up the next morning and my neck was totally stiff. So I came in and he took x-rays to find the problem. Set me up on a plan to get started coming in three times a week. He took x-rays before and after the care plan and on the final x-ray I noticed a huge difference in the curve in my neck. Thanks you so much Dr. Matt and I feel great to this day!

I Followed The Plan…Now I’m Pain Free!
My name is Mike, and I’m 53 years old. 8 weeks ago, I met Dr. Matt at a downtown street fair. For about 5 weeks, I had been experiencing excruciating pain in my lower back and between my shoulder blades. Dr. Matt took some x-rays, did an exam, and showed me on the x-ray exactly what was wrong. He laid out a plan, I followed it, and am now pain free! Come see him!

I was Dizzy, Headaches Everyday, & had Nausea…I Feel Normal Again!
My name is Catherine and I live in Ventura and I want to let everyone know about my experience with Dr. Matt. I had neck problems and came to see Dr. Matt and he pretty much pressed on the exact spot that I was having symptoms and headaches everyday, was nauseous for 2 weeks and he said I could help you with that. Without Dr. Matt I probably would have gone to a medical doctor and would have taken a medication that would not have helped with the actual problem. I figured in the back of my mind I was going to become a patient soon, but then the following day not only did I have a headache and nausea, but there was dizziness as well. The room was spinning around so I called Dr. Matt at like 7:45 or 8:00 at night and he called me back within 15 minutes and said that he would come in early to work to help you and that is my main focus right now. He came in at 7:30 and treated me. Immediately after he treated me I felt the blood rush back into my face, I felt normal again and just so much less tension. I have been doing great ever since then so thank you very much!

I’m Not Walking Around In Pain!!!
My name is Steve M., when I first started seeing Dr. Matt I could not look over my shoulder while driving. As treatments took action I can now do full motion while driving. This has made a tremendous improvement in my daily life, I can take walks without my neck being bothered. I can’t explain how thankful it is to be treated by Doctor Matthew; it has been an amazing journey. What makes him unique is that he cares about his patients and is willing to be financially flexible.

Herniated Disc Helped With Out Surgery
I herniated a disc in my lower back 15 years ago and thought I was just going to have to deal with discomfort and bouts of pain for the rest of my life. Over the years, my back pain spread to my neck and shoulders and recently my hips and knees. I felt as though arthritis, which runs in my family, was setting in. Exercise provided relief, but never seemed to fully alleviate the constant problem. Dr. Leonard changed everything. After my first visit, I felt completely aligned and pain free for the first time since my injury. I no longer viewed my physical discomfort as an incurable mystery, and I no longer feel like I am exercising in vain, merely postponing an inevitable back surgery. The positive outlook I’ve gained spans far beyond simply being happy about not needing surgery; I have an enormous amount of energy because I am now free of discomfort in my entire body. Dr. Leonard has single-handedly created a new life for me. I try and see him once a week and have become an energetic athlete again and feel fitter and healthier than I did before my injury. My parents are his patients now as well and it is exciting to watch their quality of life improve. Through his counsel I have improved my diet and nutrition and enjoy all the benefits of better health and fitness.

Finally Ending My 4 Year Search For A Great Chiropractor
I had been searching for a great chiropractor for over 4 years, travelling to the Valley for treatments because I wasn’t happy with any of the chiropractors in this area. Finally, I found Dr. Matt and have been seeing him at least weekly for over 1 year. He has relieved much of my pain and is more than willing to deal with my insurance situations (or lack thereof). I am more than grateful to have found such a great chiropractor and person, who truly cares about each of his patients’ needs.

Low Back Pain
My name is Victor Castro and 6 weeks ago I came to the doctor and my low back was hurting a lot. It was feeling very bad before I had gone to see Dr. Matt. He is definitely one of the best and I am feeling very good! I have been feeling great since I started getting care 6 weeks ago so thank you so much!

Surfing Better than Ever
I started seeing Doctor Matt about two years ago. I came in primarily because my neck was hurting from a few surf injuries. I was taking a lot of ibuprofen and feeling much discomfort. Dr. Matt encouraged me and gave me stretches to help with the healing process. Today I am 100% better! I continue seeing Doctor Matt to remain healthy! My mobility is back! And my surfing is better than ever!

My Life Has Improved 100%
Hi, my name is Ina Brown and I want to give a testimonial for Dr. Matt because he has improved my life 100% from about 5 weeks ago. I am a manicurist/pedicurist and my business keeps me bent over all day and hurting. I also have had a few Bell’s Palsy episodes and in 2000 it really dropped my face. Neurologist and medical doctors said that I can’t go to chiropractors ever because my neck is a mess and my jaw is off. So I avoided them for about 15 years until I did something about 5 weeks ago that made it so I cannot sit which renders me unable to work. I could only stand or lie down and was in pain all the time. Dr. Matt came highly recommended so I gave him a call and started care. About the 2nd week was when I started to walk pretty well and I was able to sit for a short time. I am just telling you this because everyone said that I could not see a chiropractor. I had chiropractic care for most of my life, but then I stopped. I am almost 60 and I was feeling like I am 80 until I started seeing Dr. Matt. I believe that for most people chiropractic care is a must. Some do not believe in chiropractic and they will be in pain forever. If you are contemplating getting care, come see Dr. Matt. I have had chiropractic care before, but Dr. Matt is gentle and the adjustments are easy to handle. I highly recommend Dr. Matt so please make your appointments and feel better for the rest of your life!

Thanks Dr. Matt, My Arm Has Normal Motion Again!
My name is Kelly, and I’m from here in Ventura. I was having difficulty moving my arm above my shoulder, and a month’s worth of physical therapy had no effect. After seeing Dr. Matt for chiropractic care, and practicing at-home stretches and traction, I can lift my arm over my head again! Thanks Dr. Matt!

I Use To Take 6 Motrin Everyday…Until Now!
My name is Joseph and I am from Ventura, Ca. Since starting chiropractic care 2 months ago, I find myself sleeping much better and getting more rest. I use to sleep in on my days off and now I find myself getting up early, getting out of bed and staying busy. It feels good to be active and it has been such an amazing change in my life. Since I started care at Coastal Chiropractic I have cut my Motrin use down from 6 everyday to 6 maybe in the last 2 months total! Now I have no pain and chiropractic has been great for pain relief as well as overall wellbeing. I want to thank Dr. Leonard for such wonderful care.

Dr. Matt Goes Above and Beyond
My wife was petrified of chiropractic care from a previous experience that caused her to have back surgery. She had a neck issue from a recent car accident, and therapy and steroid shots didn’t help. I finally talked her into meeting with Dr. Matt, though she was still skeptical. She went with me a few times and watched and talked with him about what he does. She finally let Dr. Matt help her, and after 3 visits she was amazed at how he had helped her. She is now a regular. I NEVER thought Dr. Matt had a chance with her but his caring won her over. He is the best.

No One Has Helped Me More Than Dr. Matt
Dr. Matt is very good and friendly Doctor. Going to his office clams me down after a long hard day of work. The office environment is very inviting and peaceful. He welcomes you with his warm smile every time you walk in the door. Even if he is busy he will always say hi to everybody that comes in. Then you get adjusted...which makes life even better. I’ve had back pain for numerous years, seen a lot of Doctors, Chiropractors and specialist. But NO one has helped me more than Dr. Matt. He told me what was wrong, what was causing my pain, how he was going to help, and even made a plan of action to get me pain free. I have been going to Dr. Matt for about 4 month now and I’m feeling great. Dr. Matt has saved my life!!!!!!
