Cincinnati Chiropractor Dr. Matthew Haumessesr

"Chiropractors are Quacks!" I say.

When I was a child, I began getting intense headaches everyday. I would take 4-6 maximum strength painkillers 5-6 times a day. That’s 20-36 tablets a day! My father, under chiropractic care for his low back, told me that I had to either go see a chiropractor or a neurosurgeon. I chose the traditional medical community because I felt like chiropractors where “quacks.” The neurosurgeon diagnosed me with “migraines” and gave me some medicine. I took the medicine religiously for over a month. It did not work.

Finally with a lot of pressure from my father, I decided to try chiropractic care. I went to the chiropractor that my dad was seeing. He later told me that the medicine the neurosurgeon gave me for my headaches had a side effect of “causing headaches.” I saw my chiropractor regularly and my headaches soon ceased. The whole time he was working with me he kept saying, “You are going to be a chiropractor.” I kept laughing it off. I wanted to be a pediatrician. In high school I became interested in wrestling and drug-free bodybuilding. Focusing on my health and fitness helped me to appreciate the benefits of a natural drug-free method of healing. My doctor was right. I was going to become a chiropractor.

A Chiropractic Education

After declining a wrestling scholarship to the University of Toledo I attended the University of Cincinnati. I received a Bachelor of Science in health promotion and exercise and fitness in 1996. I proceeded to Logan College of Chiropractic, in a suburb of St. Louis, Missouri. In 1998 I obtained a second bachelors of science in human biology. August of 2000 I earned my doctorate of chiropractic also from Logan College of Chiropractic. I have treated many individuals with many different health concerns and backgrounds from patients only 12 hours old to patients 103 years old. We have treated a variety of health concerns from migraines, to asthma, to allergies and many more. I believe in treating all my patients like they are members of my immediate family.

On a Personal Note...

My wife Brandy and I have a son named Nathan Michael. He is a great little boy. We also have two four legged babies. Tyson is an intimidating but gentle Cane Corso (Italian Mastiff) and Rain, is a sweet but stubborn Dogue de Bordeaux (a French Mastiff – you know a Turner and Hooch dog). I have two chiropractors who adjust me. No one not even a chiropractor can adjust themselves. I get treated at least once a week and most times twice a week.

I am still very involved in body building and spend much of my free time at the gym. I work out four days a week. I am a three time consecutive undefeated national power lifting champion, 2004 and 2008 undefeated world power lifting champion. Recently I have competed in six bodybuilding shows, placing well. I don’t take any medications; I feel we can do without most of them. I disagree with most vaccines and antibiotics, but we can talk about that more later.
