Meet the Doctor: Dr. Matt Cohn D.C.
Dr. Matt Cohn is the clinic director of our Glendale location at 51st Avenue and Thunderbird.  He is a native of Davenport, Iowa – the home of Palmer Chiropractic College.  After studying microbiology at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, he returned to Davenport to attend Palmer where he earned his Doctorate in Chiropractic.  Upon graduating in 1998, he moved to Tempe, Arizona to start his own practice, which he ran until 2006.  After that, he assisted Dr. Swade in the chiropractic and physical therapy treatment of many professional athletes in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania before returning to the Valley. 

Dr. Cohn holds his Arizona certifications in both chiropractic and physiotherapy.  He believes in the human body’s innate ability to heal itself so long as the nervous system is able to function unimpeded.  Also, he believes that a comprehensive approach in treating traumatic injuries that addresses optimum nutrition, core strength, postural integrity, and muscle health, can drastically improve patients’ lives.

Dr. Cohn currently volunteers his services to the Wellcare Foundation, a local non-profit organization. Through Wellcare, Dr. Cohn provides free chiropractic care to single, working mothers and their children who do not qualify for state health care assistance . . . but do not make enough to pay for essential medical services.   

When away from the office, Matt can be found watching Hawkeye and Steeler football, playing golf, or spending time with his family.

Whiplash is one of the most common Glendale auto accident injuries. This car injury occurs when the force of a rear impact abruptly “whips” the neck backwards and forwards, beyond its normal range of motion. Many patients are surprised to learn that their mysterious neck pain and headaches are in fact the result of a whiplash injury. (Watch our whiplash video.)

You do not need to be in a serious car accident to suffer from whiplash. Even a minor fender bender at speeds as slow as 5 mph can cause this auto injury. When the neck is out of alignment, the nervous system is unable to properly send and receive messages from the brain. A herniated disc may also compress nearby nerves, further causing pain. If this herniated disc is located in the lower back, it may compress the sciatic nerve. This can cause a radiating pain sensation along the legs, buttocks and lower back.

If you have sustained an auto injury, it’s natural to feel frustrated with traditional types of treatment. Many doctors will prescribe prescription medications to manage pain. While medication can provide temporary relief, drugs do not address the underlying cause of the pain cause from the auto accident injury. Some doctors also recommend immobilizing the neck for extended periods. However, long-term immobilization deprives the soft tissues of fresh, oxygenated blood that is critical to healing. Here at our Glendale chiropractic center, we do things differently. We help patients recover from Glendale auto accident injuries by focusing on the underlying cause for their pain – a misalignment in the spine or a soft tissue injury.

When the body is out of alignment, patients experience chronic pain, and are at risk for future injury, illness and fatigue. Chiropractic care is an effective treatment for a car injury because it safely and gently restores alignment to the musculoskeletal system. When the body is properly aligned, the nerves are no longer compressed. This allows the nervous system to function properly, providing long-term pain relief.

If you have sustained a Glendale auto accident injury, do not wait to seek treatment. Immediate care from our chiropractor can make a difference and prevent future pain. We are committed to helping every auto injury patient regain a full range of motion and flexibility by unlocking the body’s natural ability to heal. Glendale patients choose our Glendale InjuryChiropratic Center because of our whole body approach to pain management and accident injury treatment.
