Meet the Doctors

Dr. Matthew Griffith grew up in upstate New York where he enjoyed many of the activities that the Adirondack Mountains allowed. In the summer Dr. Griffith enjoyed hiking, biking and trail running, and snowboarding in the winter. Always an avid participant in school sports, Dr. Griffith excelled in football which paved the way to a lifestyle dedicated to bodybuilding and living healthy.

Dr. Griffith applied his knowledge of the human body by becoming a certified personal trainer where he specialized in helping many different people work towards a better, healthier life through fitness. As a trainer, some of Dr. Griffith’s strongest strengths included motivating and educating others, connecting with people, and sharing his wealth of knowledge about the human body and its functions. Dr. Griffith takes pride in living life through example since he began bodybuilding at age 17.

Dr. Griffith always had dreams of pursuing a career in medicine; however, the field of western medicine did not seem to have all the answers to the root of diagnosis, prevention and treatment of disease. Ironically, it was a chiropractor which was one of Dr. Griffith’s clients that first introduced him to the field of chiropractic and ultimately motivated him to begin Chiropractic College at the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic. It was then that Dr. Griffith began his journey with a leap of faith when he traveled across the country from New York to California. All he had was his car, his dream, the well wishes of his family, and a never give-up attitude.

Academically Dr. Griffith attended California State University at Long Beach where he majored in biochemistry to prepare for his studies at Los Angeles College of Chiropractic.

At LACC, Dr. Griffith made it a priority to volunteer his time and talent on numerous charity events, including the Aids Life Cycle, Habitat for Humanity and Healing Hands for Humanity Foundation.

After earning his degree of Doctor of Chiropractic, Dr. Griffith continued his post graduate training by becoming a Certified Active Release Technique® Provider (ART).  ART is a very specific soft tissue treatment technique that is used by nearly every professional athletic team today to treat sports injuries. Dr. Griffith takes pride in treating athletic injuries and it keeps him connected to his roots.

Dr. Griffith focuses on prevention through educating people on the dynamic relationship between proper nutrition, positive thinking, and exercise. He is committed to helping people avoid pitfalls in health and keeping them concentrated on healing through optimum function.

Out of the office, Dr. Griffith and his wife Monika embrace the active California lifestyle and enjoy traveling, surfing and the wide variety of wellness activities available in Southern California.
