Dr. Jason Mathis

I was diagnosed with the chronic disease, asthma, at the age of 2 ½.   To relieve the symptoms of this problem, I spent my early childhood using inhalers and taking various medications.  When the drugs failed to work, the only recourse was/were frantic trips to the emergency room where I received numerous shots of adrenalin to open my airways.   Fortunately, by the age of 12 my body was strong enough to fight this condition on its own – unfortunately another problem surfaced - allergies.  My parents were encouraged by our family doctor to take me to an allergist.  For the next 12 years I received allergy shots which did not cure the allergies, only masked them.  At the age of 24 I had a life changing experience.  My neck was badly injured in a car accident and the medical doctor who was treating me suggested I see a chiropractor.  I took his advice and not only did the chiropractor heal my neck, more importantly, my allergy symptoms disappeared. 

I was so impressed by my chiropractor and his ability to restore me back to health; I decided I wanted to do whatever it took to enter this incredible field of medicine.   I wanted to help people the same way I had been helped.   I had already earned a Bachelor in/of Science degree from Michigan State University in Construction Management, an MBA from Wayne State University, and was working for one of the largest home builders in the Midwest.  After much soul-searching and recognizing the tremendous commitment this field requires, I decided to attend Life University in Atlanta Georgia, attending their 4 year chiropractic program, graduating in April 2008.  I know I took the long path in getting where I wanted to go, but I am here and I pledge to make a difference.
